I did pathetically bad last time, so lets hope for better this time. I'll update it once the two games playing tonight finish up.

1-0
Empo vs heileone (80-20)
Hard to bet against Empo.
Heilone is a strong player, but just no where on the same level.
Heilone won r1 against a lot newer player, now has against a veteran such as Empo.

Stareal vs Axzel (60-40)
Not the most informed about either player.
Stareal seems to be a lot more consistent and methodical player.

NoName6293 vs Sanesa8724 (82-18)
Noname is one of my favorites to make top 4. I believe he is an extremely strong player and could make a crazy run.
Sanesa did win r1 but should have lost it pretty sound.
Maybe he will be able to make another crazy upset.

Welli0u vs Tace (49-51)
The game im looking forward too most. Both are extremely talented and amazing players.
Both have an SCL and WcoP win
Tace took an amazing win over Giannis r1 so I have to give them my money.
This will be peak.

Dragonite4242 vs Ewin (30-70)
Dragonite is very much a wildcard and a lot less consistent then Ewin.
Ewin is practically a veteran at this point and had a great r1 win against vk.
Rooting to see how dragonite can win this.

JJ09LIE vs Fabriisse (45-55)
Another super close game.
Both players got a good upset r1 and are on good momentum.
I think Fabriisse can get another upset here and stay undefeated.

Skarpherim vs hellom (35-65)
Skarpherim a solid player but mr. hellomonster is a demon.
I expect hellom to make at least top 8 and easily go farther.

SupaGmoney vs Baddy (55-45)
After a great showing from both r1 I expect supa to win. Baddy beat bea who is excellent, but supa proved to us they can play multiple different styles and even shitters to catch baddy off guard. I expect a good set.


0-1
JojoOui vs Let's Rumble Shall We (45-55)
Another crazy exciting game that'll be awesome to watch.
Hoping to see Rumble bring out the jolteon, would be dope.


bbeeaa vs JustFranco (53-47)
Wow what a crazy game for r2 losers.
Bea coming off a very strong wcop win being one of the best players on team LA.
JustFranco placed n2 in this years ost losing only too MBD2
Easily a tossup but I'll give it to Bea as they had a better showing r1.

vk vs zugubu royale (40-60)
Vk is a much more experienced player and a veteran of the game
Zugu had a rough w1 losing with Serp twice but taking a game.
With better prep, zugu can take this as an early upset.

Giannis Antetokommo-o vs MinoGod54 (72-28)
Giannis is an amazing player with a lot more experience then Mino does.
Mino has a lot more riding on this game and will have a very difficult uphill climb.

Pkel SweeTforU vs MemphisDepay
I was too late for this one, forgot to update so I got it wrong on purpose

sire clod vs LB (56-44)
Gendercord vs gendercord matchup. This ones gonna be super funny.
Sire has proved to have a bigger range of teams that they can load compared to LB's style a bit more linear
Very exciting game that could go either way possibly.

Vincent727 vs qways (60-40)
Swily is not only my goat, but just a goat overall. R1 was a super difficult matchup and this will put them against someone with a similar level of experience. I think they learned a lot from last week and will be locked.

Dasmer vs Storm Zone (25-75)
Storm has showed us that no matter who your opponent is, its still possible to lose with hax.
Storm is a top 3 sv player in my opinion and extremely consistent
Dasmer had a not great showing in week 1, losing an interesting set against dnite42.

Last week was entertaining, the french definitely let me know there should be some respect put on their name, my bad guys.

Let's see what this week's got for us.

1-0
Empo vs heileone - Wanna see some great gaming here
Stareal vs Axzel - I dont think stareal gets the job done
NoName6293 vs Sanesa8724 - Good win for sanesa last week but storm has a tendency to let his guard down like that for no reason I ain't seen noname do that. Would be crazy if sanesa shows us it wasn't a fluke tho.
Welli0u vs Tace - welli0u did excellent vs pkel but tbh those weren't the type of teams I was hoping to see from him. I think tace will prob go 3-0 into playoffs, it's not personal welli0u.
Dragonite4242 vs Ewin - yh on a normal day ewin not going for all that
JJ09LIE vs Fabriisse - I'm gonna be honest I sold fabrisse short last week, in all these years this guy is the 1st player to ever get me to want to try out stall. But I'm still more impressed by JJ.

Skarpherim vs hellom - Hmm I gonna go with hellom here, a household ou name who should be able to show you can't just click your way out here.
SupaGmoney vs vs Baddy - Knew supa had it vs memphis, but baddy is still a few sizes too big for him imo.

0-1
JojoOui vs Let's Rumble Shall We - This should be a closer mu. Like I said, we could see last week there wasn't much evolution in rumble's style but I do think he'll pick himself up from last week.
bbeeaa vs JustFranco - gonna have 2 put bea on fraudwatch if he lets me down here
vk vs zugubu royale - ehhh, zugubu will probably try to clock vk just like ewin did but I trust vk to snap back this set
Giannis Antetokommo-o vs MinoGod54 - not familiar w mino
sire clod vs LB - allright allright these 2 lil fellas meet once more, sire clod already showed us he's able to peak higher than lb during wcop, will he do it again?
Dasmer vs Storm Zone - classic matchup here. I think storm has more variety while dasmer is probably playing more consistent right now. Still think storm will beat him tho cause I doubt dasmer can pullup with something surprising.

Pkel SweeTforU vs MemphisDepay - If you end up in the loser's bracket I'm p sure you wouldn't be 2 happy with getting either names for r2. Have to lean pkel here tho since I'm betting on it coming down to the plays. Memphis could get the upper hand through team selection.
Swily vs qways - Swilytour for real now. Last game was Swily's 1st tour game gotta get the nerves out first.

in the past few years of playing competitive pokemon on smogon, no player has moved me more than JustFranco. Ever since that act fish situation I knew he was destined for greatness. JustFranco is so good that in future SCL tournaments, if I was a manager I would bid up to 75,000 points out of free will because that is how good he is.

All I ask of JustFranco is to show everyone why he’s the GOAT!
 
As ego said, im a cheater, and i came from the future, so i came here to spill the gospel
I get some wrong for fun so its not too suspicious, i like to keep my WR at around 70%

1-0​


Empo vs heileone - heileone can perfectly win but ill never bet against the goat even if its not his main tier
Stareal vs Axzel - game should be close (i havent watched the games) but axzel beat sire clod
NoName6293 vs Sanesa8724 - as i said in my previous predict, i love me a good upset. but i wont go with the underdog in a predict
Welli0u vs Tace - hes looking good
Dragonite4242 vs Ewin - bolding ewin as everyone else. but still cheering for those ladder warriors. if i predicted these i woulda been 16/16 instead of 10/16 smh
JJ09LIE vs Fabriisse - he beat justfranco
Skarpherim vs hellom - i dont think clicking will be enough here for skarp
SupaGmoney vs Baddy - tour spammer baddy will know the tier better


0-1​


JojoOui vs Let's Rumble Shall We - i very much trust my boy jojo to get a win in OLT
bbeeaa vs JustFranco - why is this a 0-1 MU
vk vs zugubu royale - zugubu can take but i dont think he plays a lot of SV OU
Giannis Antetokommo-o vs MinoGod54 - no way in hell bro goes 0-2. Right? RIGHT?
Pkel SweeTforU vs MemphisDepay - the Brasil representative should be looking good to take one
sire clod vs LB - i kinda hate to do this but ill have to give this to the SPL SV OU player
Vincent727 vs qways - predicting ladder warrior that made it close vs hellom
Dasmer vs Storm Zone - same as giannis, no way bro goes 0-2.
 
I forgot to predict w1 so lets predict the rest (i just thought i predicted but no...)
Empo vs heileone , empo played good last week but i can see heileone win this one he have the momentum and i trust him
Stareal vs Axzel , wasnt fan of the match of axzel last week , stareal was solid
NoName6293 vs Sanesa8724 , noname got this after his classic win and his last week of olt he have the momentum
Welli0u vs Tace , Welli0u was sheist last week i think he do the same against tace as he did to pkel
Dragonite4242 vs Ewin , Experience.
JJ09LIEvs Fabriisse , french friend but very close like 51/49
Skarpherim vs hellom , more impressed from last week
SupaGmoney vs Baddy , Baddy is pretty solid rn cant see him to lose nothing against supa ofc

0-1
JojoOui vs Let's Rumble Shall We , jojo will bounce back after his choke of last week
bbeeaa vs JustFranco , not easy to bold against bea but franco is typically the player bea can struggle
vk vs zugubu royale , vk was sheist last week can see here a solid W
Giannis Antetokommo-o vs MinoGod54 , just Ant
Pkel SweeTforU vs MemphisDepay , the offense enjoyer will win here , wasnt fan of mdp bo against supa
sire clod vs LB , sire clod was pretty unlucky against axzel he will bounce back i can see a pretty close serie
Vincent727 vs qways , Swily have to win for the fans !
Dasmer vs Storm Zone , Just storm , dasmer load boring teams...
 
we're not late dw. we got 10/16 matchups right which is only slightly better than a coinflip and we plan on getting them all right this time actually.

1-0
Empo vs heileone (55-45)
- clod wouldn't let us go any higher on Empo here but heileone is very good player and it could really go either way.
- Empo brought some very powerful teams last round and you really can never count him out.
Stareal vs Axzel (40-60)
- Axzel had a great win last week and we right him very highly as a player and a builder.
- Stareal is a very proven player and 40-60 might be a little too harsh but I think Axzel will be able to punish Stareal's brings and play in game.
NoName6293 vs Sanesa8724 (75-25)
- sire clod did fulfill his promise to chug a bottle of mustard, we have no proof tho.
- Sanesa did upset Storm Zone last week but tbh it wasn't super convincing, he got pretty lucky.
- NoName had a pretty convincing victory against Rumble last week, too.
Welli0u vs Tace (48-52)
- Out of all of Tace's OLT swiss qualifications, this is the first time they've won round 1 of swiss in sv!
- Well looked really good in his games vs Pkel last week.
- I could easily see this going either way, definitely a highlight MU.
Dragonite4242 vs Ewin (40-60)
- Ewin is a very experienced player, it'll be an uphill battle to outprep and outplay him in game.
- That being said, it'll be really hard for Ewin to cteam Dnite.
- Dnite's the goat tho we wanna see him win this.
JJ09LIE vs Fabriisse (60-40)
- just a hunch.
Skarpherim vs hellom (55-45)
- There will be a minimum of 6 gliscors in this series.
- Skarph's gliscor will be SD and hellom's will not be, so we think Skarph wins here.
SupaGmoney vs Baddy (52-48)
- These players had pretty convincing round 1s but we're leaning Supa because we think his prep will give him the edge here.

0-1
JojoOui vs Let's Rumble Shall We (40-60)
- Jojo's brings last week did not look good and it didn't really give him a chance vs Empo.
- sire clod says "those ru mons are in ru for a reason" (ignore that we're bolding Rumble here).
- Rumble lost round 1 but we rate him pretty highly.
bbeeaa vs JustFranco (54-46)
- beas prep into baddy wasn't the best last week and he got sniped by an ice beam dnite with his lando.
- Franco brought some teams that looked very exploitable and ended up losing to an overgrow rillaboom which is not what you want to see.
- bea has more volatility in his brings that we think gets him a win here.
vk vs zugubu royale (65-35)
- vk has way more high level experience in this tier and we rate his play higher.
- We weren't huge fans of zugubu's performance last week.
Giannis Antetokommo-o vs MinoGod54 (60-40)
- It's hard to bold against individuals-mode Giannis and we think he'll bounce back after last week.
- It is also very hard to count out the dark horse MinoGod54 which is why this MU looks a little closer than you'd probably expect.
Pkel SweeTforU vs MemphisDepay (60-40)
- Pkel has a lot of experience at this level and even with his below-expected performance vs Well last round, we still have him winning this MU.
- While I do think Memphis has a good chance at an upset here, we weren't huge fans of his play vs SupaG last week.
- oh they already played. Mb.
sire clod vs LB (99-1)
- Would be around 50-50 but clod actually showed up to the gendercast sooooo
Vincent727 vs qways (53-47)
- After swily's first ever tour game and tour loss last week we have high expectations for them to bounce back with something to fight for.
- qways had a pretty unfortunate round 1 pull but they have a good chance here.
Dasmer vs Storm Zone (20-80)
- Storm Zone was a little unlucky last week but I'm sure he wont have to worry about any haunters this time around.
- Storm Zone is a great player but he has a tendency to play out a game like its ladder.
- We're pretty convinced Storm Zone quals for top 16 and that he wins here.
