Congregation of the Classiest (7) vs Team Raiders (5)
SM OU: 1 True Lycan vs
bro fist - without any doubt, bro fist is the one that people will bet to go 8-1, 7-2 or even 9-0 he's super solid and he hardly ever misplays so beating him willl be a rough way for lycan.
SM OU:
Finchinator vs Talah - this will be a close call, both know each other pretty well, and they both are good enough to take it, but finch experience can be a factor in this battle.
SM UU: edi0n vs
Pak - i think pak is one step above from edi0n, not on in-game playing but since the edi0n have never played a big team tour, and him starting can be a factor to make it "easier" for pak, pak alsalso comes from a great snake run.
SM RU:
Nat vs Cynara - cynara is one of the biggest questions on the raiders, and her facing not other but nat week 1, will be a big deal to go throught. Nat on the othee hans is as always solid and can bring a good win. I'd still love to see cynara give a good game or even taking it home.
SM NU:
Garay oak vs SPACE FORCE meeps - garay oak has been performing better and better lately while meeps comes from the shadowrealm after him being almost disaappeared this last year.
SM DOU: EmbCPT vs
Biosci - Even that edu have been performing amazingly, i'm going to give it to biosci by 49.5/50.5, this will be a super close match that i'm excited to watch.
ORAS OU:
baddummy vs Trosko - There's no doubt that trosko building skills are amazing and he doesn't really make missplays so catching him offguard is hard, but even this baddummy is capable of take this win.
BW OU: ZoroDark vs
SoulWind - predicting against one of the best if not the best bw player that smogon had in his whole history just feels not right, soulwind is capable of going 9-0 and no one will be surprised.
DPP OU: Void vs
roscoe - this is another close match but roscoe will pull up with the right plays.
ADV OU:
thelinearcurve vs Jirachee - while jirachee is definetly good, i don't think he can win against the best player on the pool.
GSC OU:
Earthworm vs Cased - This is a big one, both players are super solid, but will cased come stronger than ever after this 2 year, or will earthworm's experience and level take it all, this will be an interesting match that will go very close, however i'm rooting for earthworm.
RBY OU:
Bedschibaer vs Hipmonlee - Beds gets to start into rby where he's super solid at after not playing as much as he could last spl, hipmonlee comes from doing a cool wcop show but beds have the win here, will be a good series anyway.
Cryonicles (6)
vs Wi-Fi Wolfpack (6)
SM OU:
ABR vs Charmflash - Does this even need any comments? possibly the man to beat (after brofist) vs ... why did i get drafted and i'm starting? charmflash isn't bad but he lacks from experience and didn't do his best since last ost, will be cool to see him pull with a good season tho.
SM OU: BHARATH_THEBEST vs
Kickasser - this will be a close one, but i think kickasser might take it.
SM UU: HT vs
bugzinator - bugzinator is overall a better player, so he definetly have more chances to win.
SM RU:
Ajna vs Welli0u - welli0u gooing back into ru is interesting, whatever he is facing not other but ajna which is arguably the only one that could steal nat his #1 spot in the tier.
SM NU: elodin vs
Eternally - This could end up being either nu.exe mirror or stall on eternally side. Whatever, even that both of them are solid, mr.duck does nothing but get even better results while the time keeps going.
SM DOU:
SMB vs Human - SMB is the favourite one here, there's nothing to really discuss
ORAS OU: Leru vs
TDK - If we check at last snake, people could say that tdk is going on bad times and leru is getting to it's peak... whatever that was on lower tiers, speaking about oras, tdk should outperform leru.
BW OU:
obii vs Sergi - At first i didn't know who sergi was, but after looking on replays and records on RoA, i could easily say that he can win this one. The only reason i'm rooting for obii is for the experience that the latter have on his back.
DPP OU:
Malekith vs DeepBlueC - tbh, i wasn't expecting to see malekith in dpp, but he can do pretty well here.
ADV OU: Veteran In Love vs
UD - It's been a long time since anyone could see VIL take it serious, will be interesting to see how can he perform, no matter what UD is the favourite option here.
GSC OU: k3nan vs
Fear - This could be the start of another season 9-1 or even better, fear is just terrific in this tier. The biggest threat by far, rooting against him seems wrong.
RBY OU:
Alexander. vs The Idiot Ninja - read fear, take off the 9-1 part and you got this. Alexander is the safest option in rby due to his solid plays.
Alpha Ruiners (7) vs Stark Sharks (5)
SM OU:
Empo vs Tamahome - this will go into a close one but empo seems the safe option here, both are pretty solid. 60/40
SM OU: imsosorrylol vs
Tricking - sorry is definetly good and his builds are even better, but tricking have the knowledge and the experience to make it possible.
SM UU:
Pearl vs Lycans - this is a heat matchup but pearl is solid as rock.
SM RU: RedEmption vs
EviGaro - evigaro is cuter so giving the win to his way. I also think that redemption ru level isn't matched to evi's.
SM NU: LAX vs
Teddeh - this could go either way since they both are with eternally and kush one or two steps above the rest of the pool, no matter what, teddeh will bring something classic but strong that will make him get solid results, while lax is a mystery box and you don't know what's going to come out when you open it, this for me is the highlight match of the week (but yet again i'm an nu main so...). 49/51.
SM DOU:
Croven vs fespy - Can't really tell when i just heard the name of croven from this 2.
ORAS OU:
Hiye vs Znain - what is this a win? hahahahaha -hiye
now for real, hiye is just too solid in oras, while znain didn't have any notorious actuation in this past year.
BW OU: Luigi vs
Posho - posho will start rediming from his past times ghost, and sending to shut all of those that think that he will not break his bad streak. luigi on the other hand comes from the supportive bench, and that makes him be one step above. Will be a good one even tho.
DPP OU:
Jimmy Turtwig vs ToF - Franchise pick vs classic dominant jimmy goatwig... i think it's pretty clear here.
ADV OU: eden's embrace vs
Kevin Garrett - this time the franchise taktakes it all.
GSC OU:
Lavos vs Conflict - while this will be a really close one, lavos will pull up with big plays and teams as always. 55/45
RBY OU:
FriendOfMrGolem120 vs Sceptross - This looks like a pretty fun one, rooting fomg bcz i honestly want him to do well this spl, will be close anyways.
Dragonspiral Tyrants (6)
vs Circus Maximus Tigers (6)
SM OU:
Poek vs Eternal Spirit - poek is at the peak of his mons career and even that es have beem doing better than ever lately it's hare to root for him.
SM OU: Mana vs
Sacri' - Hars to root for mana even i love his heat, he's been disappeared lately while sacri had a more so okish year.
SM UU:
Christo vs HarrisIsAwesome - harris can win this, but christo having the support and the fact that harris doesn't have that much experience lackscon himself to get predicted for him to win, but he can definetly do it.
SM RU: aim vs
Pohjis - and the wins goes to mr.ribbon of the year 2018.
SM NU:
ict vs Osh - ict comes from a year ban but he's definetly capable of pull up vs osh that have not only no support on builds but also have no experience.
SM DOU:
emforbes vs MajorBowman - emforbes comes from having an amazing year, while the colonel have really hard times to get farther, and even then he didn't do that well.
ORAS OU:
blunder vs reiku - big bad blunder.
BW OU: We Three Kings vs
dice - laslasse is good, but dice can take the match vs almost anyone in this pool so rooting for him.
DPP OU: GaryTheGengar vs
6A9 Ace Matador -
let me think about this one... i said myself i wouldn't post dead predictions so rooting for ace.
ADV OU: Gilbert arenas vs
zf - zf comes from a really solid wcop, should have this.
GSC OU: sulcata vs
d0nut - d0nut overall have the experience and the skill to take it over sulcata even that he comes from a good perfomance in the last times tours.
RBY OU:
Heroic Troller vs Kaz-Gasai - kaz-gasai have the people hyped for him, i actually have never seen play but troller is the man to beat in this pool.
Ever Grande BIGs (9) vs Indie Scooters (3)
SM OU:
Sabella vs FMG - One of a close game but sabella can do a good spl, and since sabella have more experience it balances for him.
SM OU:
Cdumas vs Lopunny Kicks - cdumas is one player that can do amazing this spl, being able to beat the 2 top dogs (brofist and abr), lopunny kicks is good but is hard to root against cdumas.
SM UU: Sage vs
robjr - i'd love to see sage pull out on this one but rob is definetly amazingly solid in uu. this is a pretty good match and will definetly proves things since both players are capable on going into a super positive record this spl.
SM RU:
KW vs Aeroblacktyl - MoP is good but KW is on another huge step from him.
SM NU:
Kushalos vs Realistic Waters - i hate rooting against my boy, but i can't root against the chef and i doubt that oricorio fire does it again. I'd love rw to pull up with the win. And he's even more menacing noow that he isn't under teddeh orders, so his creativity is even more free.
SM DOU:
Ezrael vs miltankmilk - ezrael is too hot too lose.
ORAS OU:
xray vs craing ;_; - biba vs ben gay, this one is a heat match, will be interesting to see whatever i love the waves of the vibes of the biba and he will take it.
BW OU: FLCL vs
Ojama - while flcl is good, the kingpin is good enough to take it home.
DPP OU:
soulgazer vs giara - isn't giara a gsc player?
ADV OU: Golden Sun vs
dekzeh - this will be close but not one of a big game tho.
GSC OU:
choolio vs Century Express - choolio just seems safer here, even his weird record the last time.
RBY OU:
Nails vs MetalGro$$ - Nails have the knowledge to take this game, but metalgross experience on the tier can make this go all into the other way.
Let the show begin!!!
