alright im back bros. week 2 predicts
Snowbelle Stuffuls (4)
vs Azalea Alakazams (4)
Ubers:
Plimsoll Punks (70) vs Dandaman99 (30) - dan did win his game though i think it wasnt all that great of a game. pp is a better player imo and should be able to take this pretty cleanly
OU: T0te (40) vs
Attribute (60) - neither of these players played all that great last week. however i have seen both of them play better so i wont base my pick off of it. i think attribute is a stronger player and has access to more solid builds while the legendary 0 never switches up his team selection so im going to favor attribute here.
UU:
Snofall (75) vs Sam.tan (25) - so last week snofall threw multiple times but so did surfy :( and snofall ended up on top. with that said, snofall is still much better and will favor him. sam did bring a solid team (one with strong match up in fact) but hasnt figured out how to pilot them yet. if he can figure that out, he could start taking games come playoffs
RU: arce9 (49) vs
Kingofcrimea (51) - arce9 surprised me last week with a win to clutch his team a win. crimea also played very well in the most anticipated game of last week. this should be a good one. im going to slightly favor crimea in this one as i have a bit more faith in him playing (solely from seeing him play more) but this could go either way.
NU:
Epicboost (55) vs Pokeart2004 (45) - this is a weird one. i wasnt all that impressed with either of them last week. however epicboost player the first 15 turns brilliantly...and then proceeded to throw it all in the can. with that said i will favor epic here since he has shown promise, no matter how little it was, and should take this one.
PU: 100%GXE (35) vs
Xiri (65) - personally, i think this was a smart move for the stuffuls. gxe is pretty solid at pu and they dont need to leave him in ubers for an easier win. however, i think xiri is still a stronger at pu by miles and shouldnt have too much issue but i wouldnt be surprised if he did
LC:
Raj.Shoot (55) vs The Amuse (45) - damn it raj. haxed us to lose the week
![psyangry :psyangry: :psyangry:](/forums/media/emoji/psyangry.png)
i really dont wanna pick u to win but skyzuma didnt show up at all in his game last week so raj gets lucky... again
DOU: Boyn (10) vs
SMB (90) - i was impressed with how boyn played last week but hes playing against the easiest lock of the season. i cant ser him overcoming the skill gap between them. smb gets the W
Sunyshore Snorlaxes (3) vs
Blobby Blue Blastoises (5)
Ubers:
EternalSnowman (60) vs Reje (40) - reje is clearly solid but his high risk high reward play didnt work out. esm is less rusty and should be able to take this. ill make it a bit closer than i normally would because reje could surprise us all but this should be pretty straight forward
OU:
Mysterious M (90) vs Tragoedius (10) - this a lopsided game if ive ever seen one. theres no question who im picking here. trag hasnt shown me enough.
UU: Denisthemenace (35) vs
ORAS-Mega (65) - why is dennis uu-ing? dennis isnt bad but ive never seen him touch this tier. faheata showed he might just be worth his pricetag so im going to continue to pick him. since i dont know how good dennis is at this tier, i’ll give him the benefit of the doubt but i cant pick him for that reason
RU: Harlee (35) vs
Abyssal Ruins (65) - icy is flames. im sure he’ll bring somethint cool and take it. harlee threw his game last week after playing well. this could just be from nerves so we’ll have to see this week. still have to favor icy.
NU: Sificon vs
PrinceOfAllTacos - i wouldve favored poat anyways but this already happened :/ play ur games slower. wouldve given this 65-35 odds
PU: Ronman5 (30) vs
xSkelly34 (70) - skelly played well last week and showed little rust. im much higher on skelly than ronman so i’ll favor the lord of booty milk.
LC: Sanjay (45) vs
Jack In My Box (55) - hot take! jack is 3-0ing his group. i was quite impressed with his win vs one of the best players in the tier cleanly. sanjay hasnt played lc in a bit and while i am higher on sanjay, i think jack will take this.
DOU:
I want Atago to sit on me (60) vs Havens (40) - cheese got unlucky last game so i think he’ll make an effort to bounce back. think this could be a really close game. havens did win one of the more anticipated games of last week so i could def see him take it but i dont think he will this time.
Rustboro Reshirams (3) vs
Hearthome Heatrans (5)
Ubers: Jeran (30) vs
Terracotta (70) - wasnt too impressed with jeran’s win last week while terracotta lost to rolls iirc. i trust the member of the council more to take the W here
OU: Maroon (25) vs
frisoeva (75) - fris is easily top 3 in the tour so im going to pick him regardless. his trusty pyuku stall should carry him pretty easily. maroon didnt play bad, i just cant pick him over fris
UU:
Mikaav (65) vs DJ Breloominati (35) - im a strong believer in mikaav’s abilities in uu. the fact that this team has the space to move him around makes them more threatning imo. wasnt too impressed with dj last week but i wouldnt be surprised if he pulled it out.
RU: Ptoad (49) vs
Lugia_Numair (51) - ok this one is a bit difficult for me to pick. lugia won from a choke and ive never seen ptoad play ru. i think this game will be decided in preview so i’ll pick the one with the most support
NU: Michielleus (25) vs
hamhamhamham (75) - i believe in michi, just not in nu. also hes playing ham...
PU:
Skipkan (90) vs Yoshi972 (10) - apologies to ve for not recognizing the smogon account. with that said, skip is a better player and much more meta knowledge so im picking him
LC:
London13 (90) vs RichardPepper (10) - london is fire. no way he doesnt have better luck in lc. as long as he’s prepared for classic richard cheese, he should be fine
DOU: Karalynia (49) vs
Shadowmonstr4 (51) - when was the last time gdk touched dou? oras? as much as i like gdk i have no clue how much he has played the tier in the last 3 years while i saw shadow outplay one of the best (after hax ofc). i think itll still be close since gdk is still the better player but meta knowledge should still prevail

xiri vs gxe

3.
mikaav vs dj
4.
esm vs reje
