Contacted tentatively for Wednesday at 12-1PM PST. If not, then right before the deadline. In the meantime, let's do some well-researched, highly-educated, overtly-wordy, and tonally-inconsistent predictions. I'm trying to get to 100 posts, so here we go:
GarbodorIsHot vs Alfaz999 - If there's one player that knows how to consistently beat Smeargle-garb, it's Skarph. Watch as I just jinxed him.
p0lt3rg3ist vs
MDB - I honestly predict MDB is going to go far in this tournament as his last hurrah, but he's not going to win the whole thing. He's going to be playing out of his mind, so it's going to be difficult to predict against him.
Pigeons vs
Satanic Beast - I think this is going to be a lot closer than others are giving credit. Edgar has access to a LOT of resources, has some very solid builds, and is a fellow Wack-Player™. If he brings a SpDef Ho-Oh + decent breaker for the Luna-SemiStall in g2, Edgar might just eek out a win.
Dockiva~~ vs
Shivam3299 - I honestly didn't know that they weren't just the same player. Dockiva qualified EARLY with higher competition. Picking Shivam as he's a fellow SP member.
Delibird Heart vs nehtri - Both utilize some very shoddy builds, bulkier for Delibird and offensive for nehtri. The first one to bring a Sableye is going to be the victor. I picking Delibird Heart because they're a fellow -Heart.
DontStealMyPenguin vs Zakumi - Para-garb will always win. Smeargle is uncounterable. Beware.
Zenithial vs lotiasite - As much as I like loti, Zen is high-key probably the most solid player in the tour. I have a hard time predicting against him this early in the tour.
Arushi vs ice-master-523 - Para-garb will always win, unless it's versus goddess Arushi. She just needs to bring a consistent Glare Zygarde counter and she should be good.
Sitonai vs Cinza - No lie, I just looked up what a Sitonai was on the google. I'm disgusted. It's all anime stuff. All of you are degenerates, unlike my borderline furry behavior. Now even though HB only recently returned, he is really strong and can use a vast array of playstyles. I have a hard time picking against him when I don't know much about his opponent.
zugubu royale vs
SwaggerDaggerKid - idk I'm not super familiar with either player. I got super drunk once and battled SDK in either the finals or semifinals of a room tour. My Togedemaru won and Toge never picks wrong.
Tic-Tac-Toe Guru vs
ADF Test - Like everyone has said, TTTG is going to get haxed out of the tour eventually. ADF has some very suspect builds but then also some good ones. Both are definitely competent, so this could go either way. It's going to come down to g3. If TTTG brings balance, he's going to get haxed out and if he brings HO, he's going to get walled. Preemptively advising him to bring Arc-Poison BO with a decent Scarfer now. Thanos completed the infinity gauntlet, so ADF. Avengers: Endgame, out now.
Velvet Blood OwO vs LaBalladeDesCieux - My initial tourney favorite and also my favorite player <3. Dropping out of the tournament is a bold strategy, Cotton. Let's see if it pays off for her.
Fardin vs Levanos - Gay frogs will always win. Fardin is probably one of the best-ever AG players and the only way he can lose in this tournament is if someone brings counters for teams built two years ago. Or they bring a Sableye + Psystrike Ice Beam MMY counter. However, Levanos is also a fellow Wack-Player™ and he can make some plays, so we'll see how this goes.
GRNBLN vs Heaven's Breaker - Wake up, sheeple! Heaven = Holy. Breaker = Break. GRNBLN is going to lose, but the next round opponent is going to get a bye when it's revealed the new HB is an old HB alt. Yes, I know what I just wrote and what I bolded is inconsistent.
-RDKB- vs
FamousVGC - They didn't even send me a :3
PurpleGatorade vs AnythingGoesLegend - My only notable experience with PG since he's been back is me Hexing his 17% +6 EKiller. While AGL is a fellow member of the AG leftist gang and I want to stan for him, he's going to face a large uphill battle using essentially only offenses. PG can use every playstyle competently, but we'll see if he's able to wall Xerneas Psyspam. If AGL changes one of the DeoA to a Goth/Zone (hint hint) for the SpDef DM, he could overwhelm the defensive core and win this. AGL's going to try to bring BO or balance after reading this so, like MBD's ranking said, this could get ugly.
I'm bringing a Sableye if this wasn't clear. It's going to be named "I'm Fergie Ferg" after one of my favorite songs,
London Bridge by Fergie.
Good luck to all!
Edit: ↓ See? MDB is confident! He can do this!
