SM OU: Steve Angello 51-49 obii steves gonna be losing and then he'll whip out some random shit like kartana or buzzwole or and be like "o, B... this UB sweeps U, B" and win (I really crack myself up stg)
SM OU: p2 60-40 TheThorn my dream matchup come true!!!!!!!!!!!! anyway kek nation has always been beyond cbb's power so if p2 makes a Good Team like he has a penchant for then he should be alright alright alright alright
ORAS OU: Nintendi 5-5 Axel10 will doubtless be a ten star battle
BW OU: Tokyo Tom 51-49 Tricking a roller coaster of a game; highs, lows, twists at every corner, and above all else, vomit-inducing
DPP OU: Tamahome 48-52 Philip7086 phil is buying a house from a daydreaming realtor named thomas, who keeps dozing off. phil taps him on the shoulder. thomas snaps out of his reverie and asks "what is it? what do you need?" phil sighs. "tom, a home."
ADV OU: JabbaTheGriffin 48-52 Ojama both have a penchant for being Off-Beat these days so it could get wild pretty fast
GSC OU: McMeghan 49-51 Mr.378 ruh roh its roro--but in the wrong gen! what will our wacky belgian comrade get up to THIS week?!

SM OU: Geemick 49-51 xtra$hine speaking of wacky, xtras ho shenanigans seem to do xtra well in the new gen (sitcom laughter)
SM OU: ABR 66-34 PDC unclose
ORAS OU: Blunder 55-45 reiku it is with the voracious flame of deadassity that I pronounce this game to be utterly lit and then some
BW OU: Sugarhigh 45-55 dice featuring an all-star cast of great bw pokemon! starring: gothitelle. volcarona. thundurus-therian. special guest appearance: sableye. directed by michael bay
DPP OU: Golden Sun 40-60 ToF this wouldve been an incredible game circa st7 through wcop '11. not sure how much love gs has for dp these days so I give tof the edge in a tof game xD
ADV OU: Smurf. 44-56 undisputed undis' teams have been mad surprising so I give him an edge in what's sure to be a kooky game. over/under on turns before smurfs metagross blows up: 5
GSC OU: Idiotfrommars 60-40 Bomber when I was 6 I pronounced typhlosion as tip-low-see-on
RBY OU: MetalGr0$$ 49-51 Kevin Garett kevin is too G, lol (I keep just barely predicting against mg which is weird cause hes been a total beast this season sorry man idk what it is. honestly the need to make the pun influenced it)

SM OU: FlamingVictini 60-40 ben gay this is the battle for flaming gay marriage. mega steelix is unreleased so fv should be ight
SM Ubers: The Trap God 61-39 Lacus Clyne more like the imprisonment deity
ORAS OU: Chill Shadow vs Get This Money why does this feel like the battle of jay-z track titles
BW OU: LuckOverSkill 47-53 Leftiez metagross is not good, melvin. well I guess agility is "ok" but still man
DPP OU: Bad Ass 52-48 Mizuhime tommys been keeping up to date more I think but mik is good. 60% chance both teams are brutally walled by physdef gastrodon the GOAT
ADV OU: Astamatitos 55-45 Triangles Expert Utilisation Of SkarmPert @ Protect (will be a cool 1)
GSC OU: choolio 59-41 Mr.E aint even close tbh dodrio is about to outspeed ohko everything on poor mres team
RBY OU: Nails 55-45 Bedschibaer starring: fire blast tauros, directed by the guys from south park (GO NAILS WOOOOOOOO FREEDOM AND LIBERTY)

SM OU: Finchinator 51-49 Poek they seem p evenly matched in sm, finch will bring standard with 1 or 2 Neat Techs whereas poek will continue his batshit njnp-looking ass teams so uhhhh Tune In
ORAS OU: Genesis7 49-51 Atticus god bless america canada. genesis is real good but negres came outta nowhere with a big W last week
BW OU: Ciele 50-50 SoulWind possibly the most no-nonsense bw game ever holie cow (this is exciting to me idk about those who are like "waaaah sand teams")
DPP OU: Mael 61-39 Colchonero mael will continue to prove himself a true beast in 'p. at' žije chorvatsko
ADV OU: dekzeh 52-48 New Breed nu-brad a rejuvenated man but dekzeh shows up and keeps toughing em out (with the beautiful nicknames I might add--Ice the regice brought a tear to my eye. it felt more heartfelt than ojamas fsr)
RBY OU: Alexander. 49-51 Peasounay italy vs. france... france wins by a hair (should be an excellent game. hope to see expertly utilized laprases and minimal reflect bullshit)

more like gilles de raids, lol

World Defender
SM OU: Steve Angello vs obii - Steve is one of the few players this SPL that seems to adequately prepare for stall so obii wont get to farm him for free. That and Steves much more experienced and seems more well versed in general. obii did prep well vs TDK so Steves probably gonna have to deviate from his usual offensive style or he risks getting a bad matchup.
SM OU: p2 vs TheThorn - Interesting game. Very close id say. TheThorn is probably a more gutsy player than p2 and he will probably take calculated risks and against most players this proves troublesome. Id say p2 fares better against this kind of player than safer players like Finch tho so giving him the edge.
SM OU: Eternal Spirit vs Welli0u - welliou has been disappointing so far for all the hype hes gotten and Eternal Spirit has shown more promise in some of his games. This game will have a choke somewhere though ill tell you that lol.
ORAS OU: Nintendi vs Axel10 - Axel has probably done better this SPL than Nintendi but it seems Nintendi improves with every game that passes while Axel kinda had his peak games earlier in the season. So going with momentum here and picking the BR.
BW OU: Tokyo Tom vs Tricking - Both are about the same level but Tricking is a luckier player and his teams have been better this SPL.
DPP OU: tamahome vs Philip7086 - Phil's prep has been out of this world this SPL, he seems to keep getting matchup advantage in every game with these wacky builds and put how good he is on top of that and most of his opponents legit have no chance. Predicting Phil brings a Dugtrio to trap tamahome's trusty Jirachi.
ADV OU: JabbaTheGriffin vs Ojama - Despite a lackluster SPL, Ojama is probably an all around better player and Jabba's relative inactivity will not help him out here.
GSC OU: McMeghan vs Mr.378 - Impressive SPL from the Mr but he seems to really struggle against players with an all around great grasp of the game like BKC. McMeghan is that kinda player so he will probably win despite not having played GSC in SPL before.
RBY OU: Golden Gyarados vs Crystal_ - Crystal doesnt go for freezes every chance he gets even if its the wrong play.


SM OU: Geemick vs xtra$hine - GeeMick left everyone disappointed with last week's game and now he will probably want to play this one a bit safer. Sadly for him he plays one of the most erratic players in Smogon.
SM OU: Enki vs -Snow - Dont know em but I like Enki's username more. Too many snow users.
SM OU: ABR vs PDC - Good fight, ABR is the better player though and he makes his own squads, gives him the edge. Im actually really curious as to what PDC will bring to this game. Not stall for sure lol.
ORAS OU: Blunder vs reiku - Better player + reiku has had a bad SPL and seems inactive.
BW OU: Sugarhigh vs dice - Battle of the builders. Expect some wacky sets and comps. dice is probably the better player and he has momentum on his side too.
DPP OU: Golden Sun vs ToF - Golden Sun in DPP is interesting. He did start playing back in the DPP era so he has knowledge of the meta (plus duh he won tour). That said I dont think hes played it seriously for a huge while. He would have matched up against a more modern DPP player that doesnt have as much knowledge from old techs. ToF is the opposite of that though so I dont see him losing.
ADV OU: Smurf. vs undisputed - undisputed played great vs who is considered the top ADV threat last week and smurf has had a meh SPL. smurfs good in ADV but undisputed is much more fresh in the tier and hes got great support in M Draghon
GSC OU: Idiotfrommars vs Bomber - Better player that wont use garb ass sets so he wins lol.
RBY OU: MetalGr0$$ vs Kevin Garett - Earthworm has spoken.


SM OU: FlamingVictini vs ben gay - I didnt like ben's team last week but hes still one of the best at building in SM and a solid player as evidenced by his ladder runs. Just needs to not get too nervous during the game and imagine its a ladder bout.
SM OU: Gingy vs Aurious - Gingys played decent this SPL and this is Aurious first game. Could go either way though.
SM OU: Freestylerking vs xray - xray is coming off 3 straight wins against very tough players so thats impressive. Hes been playing pretty well and his teams have been good so I dont see him losing.
ORAS OU: Chill Shadow vs Get This Money - This is a 50/50 game. On one hand id say Chill Shadow has the better teams, on the other hand get this money is probably a better player overall. Will come down to the team matchup id say.
BW OU: LuckOverSkill vs Leftiez - Better player. If he doesnt choke then he will do just fine, really gotta concentrate on your game and not anything else though as it can distract you from the winning plays.
DPP OU: Bad Ass vs Mizuhime - Mizuhime probably wants to prove a point in that not allowing her into her chan was a mistake. That and she seems more motivated / cares more about SPL than bad ass has shown.
ADV OU: Astamatitos vs Triangles - Astamatitos is solid af but he seems to have the most trouble against unconventional sets from what we saw last week. He faces triangles, probably the guy with the weirdest techs in ADV (fuck his chesto heracross) so it will be a very interesting matchup. I think Asta grabs this though, cant see him lose two in a row.
GSC OU: choolio vs Mr.E - Mr.E is tilted off the face of the Earth right now and has probably given his last fuck this SPL last week. choolio should take advantage of this.
RBY OU: Nails vs Bedschibaer - Better player in RBY. Tends to play too straightforward though so maybe throw a risk here and there to throw Nails off and it should work just fine.


SM OU: Finchinator vs Poek - Finch has been doing very well in SM so far, 3-0 record is solid even when he supposedly hadnt played much SM. Might have to do with how SM this SPL has been defined by prep being huge. Hes been working on his team since yesterday so I think he will get a solid matchup.
SM OU: Posho vs Zamrock - Has played better than Posho this SPL, Zamrock hasnt been making silly mistakes and if he keeps that up he will win. Posho is solid though and I wouldnt be surprised to see him throw Zamrock off with a random ass play in the middle of the game.
SM OU: Obliviate vs SUPER MARSHALL - Going with my heart instead of my head here. Marshall was a part of the gross ass game last week but he will learn from his mistakes and do much better this time around.
ORAS OU: Genesis7 vs Atticus - Atticus in ORAS is impossible to defeat. Ppl like to joke bout how hes ghosted and whatnot but dont forget this dude was the best player in the site at one point back in the day when greats like Gouki, Loki, ipl, worms, etc were all active.
BW OU: Ciele vs SoulWind - Best game this week pls no hax or ridic team matchup.
DPP OU: Mael vs Colchonero - Mael has been doing fantastic this SPL and is on a 4 game win-streak. He is mini Finch in that he prepares very well and is also a solid player to boot. Colchonero is still shaky so I think mael will definitely win this game. Personally rooting for u bud.
ADV OU: dekzeh vs New Breed - Last week Cryos finally put New Breed in ADV. Hes really really good at it despite being inactive so this will be an exciting game. dekzeh played last week practicaly perfectly vs McMeghan so this will be a good clash of top dogs. I think New Breed will do the underdog win though.
GSC OU: d0nut vs Fakes - Activity win for d0nut.
RBY OU: Alexander. vs Peasounay - Best player in RBY right now and many will agree to this. Peas has been doing great in SPL and Alexander tends to choke a lot. A player like Peas will most certainly punish that and he will grab his 7th win of the season.


playing zomog on sunday as per the usual sunday raid, lets go raiderz

SM Ubers: Mazar vs Gunner Rohan - Liked what I saw from Mazar while not particularly enjoying what I saw from Gunner last week. Given the form these two are currently at, I'd have to go with Mazar pulling off yet another upset. If Gunner is able to play to his obvious strengths, I don't think Mazar could stop him though.
SM Ubers: Pohjis vs Minority - Finally freed against Minority, Pohjis will show us all what we've been waiting to watch.
SM Ubers: The Trap God vs Lacus Clyne - I can't go against my good friend TTG, especially playing against a somewhat shaky opponent (as of late) in Lacus Clyne. Expect something creative like Mega Gyara to come through for TTG.
SM Ubers: Kingler12345 vs FAJI - Both aren't exactly experienced in Ubers, but definitely worthy and capable players. Faji has been solid during his SPL run while Kingler has had previous success in Ubers, should be fun to watch.
SM Ubers: Level 56 vs Fireburn - As much as Level seems to be dropping and Fireburn has been solid, L56 has to regain his former results sometime, right?

if Raiders lose this week Sam owes me a VS Seeker

SM DOU: MajorBowman vs Biosci - tight match, I think Bowman has the edge in skill but Biosci is a more inventive builder
SM DOU: Nido-rus vs I Am a Rookie - as much as I believe in Nido-Rus, I'm afraid against Chase he's gonna be Freelo-Rus
SM DOU: SamVGC vs finally - how do you beat lucky and good
SM DOU: Croven vs Braverius - Croven brings Tapu Lele and loses horribly on matchup, or brings Fini Zap Kang Rachi Zygarde filler and the game goes down to the wire. I expect Zach to win but wouldn't be too surprised to see Croven snatch it
