Concerning Substitutions: At any point in time during the week, a team may make a substitution for an inactive player. In order to do this, a manager must post in the thread, tagging the hosts, the opposing managers and the opposing player stating which player is substituting out, and which player is substituting in. A player that has substituted out for a week cannot be substituted back in. In addition, in order to catch any attempts at garnering favorable matchups (where the lineup you choose affects pairings), all substitutions are subject to veto by the hosts if the substitution is suspected to be attempting to “game” the system.

Monopoke additionally does not count for Weekly Standings, its purely a for-fun slot. I'll update the players for slots when they get chosen, for those without players immediately.

Standings and Game Schedule: http://spo.ink/1v1pl5records
Deadline is Sunday, February 21st, 11:59 PM GMT -5

PL V: Week 2 Prediction Posts Ranked
With this series, I rank the accuracy of all prediction posts made for PL V. They are ranked based on the total % of correct predictions. If you are a player, predictions made for one's own team will not count (So people who say 8-0 ez can be included in this), with the total percent being tiebroken by the percent correct from what you predicted (i.e. not counting matches a person abstained from predicting on). If you changed your prediction after a player already played their series, your post will not be counted for the week.

SS Bo7: BlanchedAlmond vs Here Comes Team Charm! i dont know who blanchedalmond is
SS Bo5: Waylaid vs Aliss these are both the homies and this is super close, I think Waylaid will give this week 110% after losing to urfgurgle
SS Bo5: lvl100Blaziken vs not a racist has been doing really well recently, quite impressed
SM Bo5: AltCauseImInsecure vs TheShadowClaw I beat ACII and lost to TSC, therefore TSC will beat ACII
SM Bo5: LBDC vs Lancer Fr lancer looked good vs aku but I always bold LBDC he's too good
ORAS Bo5: magicarpe_lvl100 vs Joker 1v1 carpe.
BW Bo5: Sanshokuinsumireko vs eblurb another really close hl, slight favor Sansho cause I think he's a better clicker, and both these players can build well enough
DPP Bo5: Synonimous vs 187 Fan fan DPP is really good, and synon has been struggling

SS Bo7: tears vs DenisTheMenace denis came back hard after his week 1 loss, 4-0ing nalei. hard to argue with that kind of energy
SS Bo5: smely socks vs zio close hl, I think zio is all around slightly better, but smely could take this
SS Bo5: Aurodian vs Tricking dont know who aurodian is
SM Bo5: Grain2Sel vs Satanic Beast 2-0 vs 0-2
SM Bo5: Tol vs Freddy Kyogre if Tol brings 3 mons I think he clicks better than freddy.
ORAS Bo5: Finchinator vs DezShizzels Finch is 2-0 against opponents better than dez. dez is good though, definitely winnable
BW Bo5: Potatochan vs Gym Socks! gym will have stable teams but potatochan just outclicks I think
DPP Bo5: Yami vs STABLE idk why stable is here but I think STABLE is better in every aspect, even outside of BW

SS Bo7: SiceXV vs Close close is too good at video games to not be bolded
SS Bo5: crucify vs Trashuny trashuny beat synon in DPP last week, but I think crucify is better at SS than synon is at DPP
SS Bo5: parr0t vs Mishlef beating bopher is pretty impressive, parr0t just might be outclassed here
SM Bo5: lmni 1v1 vs Kentari I'm a big lmni fan but they have not been doing well this tour, and Kentari is coming in with some reckless energy that will work well vs lmni I think
SM Bo5: Squirtell 1v1 vs XSTATIC COLD XSC is having a tough run so far. big HL match, could go either way but I got my boy here.
ORAS Bo5: LRXC vs Mubs close match, both these guys lost to Finch, but LRXC looked pretty strong vs bea, loved that double zard team
BW Bo5: Maki vs philisteen DEG support in the week after a ban
DPP Bo5: SoulWind vs Jabiru cabb was straight robbed by Yami and was otherwise playing well, meanwhile soulwind is looking a bit out of shape.

Predictions time: reasoning = shitposts mostly, predicts are real.
SS Bo7: Nalei vs dogknees - dogs don't fly UFOs, the old conspiracy about s p a c e m a s t e r is real.
SS Bo5: Rellia vs Murman0064 - Donkey Kong 64 demonstrates that walls are optional, so not having to build against walls will give murman a significant builder edge that will be converted into a win.
SS Bo5: Adela vs Itchyfoot - When in doubt, look alphabetically.
SM Bo5: Rosa vs Boat - Rosa is an anagram of "soar" which is what planes do, and planes go above boats, so planes rosa's W-L will go above boat's in terms of change this week. tldr rosa wins.
SM Bo5: UBERLandon21 vs Akumajou - A highlight match that could go either way. However, it is hard to land on 21 every time for damage rolls, so I give it to Akumajou.
ORAS Bo5: bea vs OM - bea is trying to play two tiers at once this week and will be spread too thin.
BW Bo5: alive vs Krytocon - being alive prevents you from accidentally ghosting your opponent.
DPP Bo5: Inkreativ vs Euphonos - Euphonos has seemed particularly sharp this tour.

SS Bo7: BlanchedAlmond vs Here Comes Team Charm! - almonds are almondst there but not quite. See explanation for Close
SS Bo5: Waylaid vs Aliss - :bbfw: still exists technically
SS Bo5: lvl100Blaziken vs not a racist - racism is bad.
SM Bo5: AltCauseImInsecure vs TheShadowClaw ACII isn't in secure, they're in sun/moon. There are too many tiers beginning with the letter "S".
SM Bo5: LBDC vs Lancer Fr I always predict LBDC wrong it seems so watch this also be wrong.
ORAS Bo5: magicarpe_lvl100 vs Joker 1v1 - Joker 1v1 has much more creative freedom with adorning their PS username with nonalphanumeric characters.
BW Bo5: Sanshokuinsumireko vs eblurb - it may be a spinoff from eblurb as protagonist, but I've read enough blurbs of text to make this pick.
DPP Bo5: Synonimous vs 187 Fan - The outcome of this will be synonimous with both the user and my predictions having their fates identical for this matchup.

SS Bo7: tears vs DenisTheMenace - I'll try not to cry if I get this one wrong.
SS Bo5: smely socks vs zio - zio rhymes with dio who can stop time, therefore someone is going to lose a game on time. Since smely socks has shown mismanagement of battle commands like enabling spectators, zio wins.
SS Bo5: Aurodian vs Tricking - When in doubt, togekiss and jirachi.
SM Bo5: Grain2Sel vs Satanic Beast - When in doubt, togekiss and jirachi.
SM Bo5: Tol vs Freddy Kyogre - this matchup depends on if tol remembers to bring 3 mons in g3, I doubt they repeat last week's misadventures.
ORAS Bo5: Finchinator vs DezShizzels - Finchinator was made by Dr. Doofenshmirtz and has been proven to actually succeed in practice. They are therefore unstoppable.
BW Bo5: Potatochan vs Gym Socks! - Everyone talks about the YouTubers in the tournament but Potatochan is just a Tuber for the purposes of this tour. Getting rid of the U for Unviable makes them win.
DPP Bo5: Yami vs STABLE - stable in DPP is playing out of position

SS Bo7: SiceXV vs Close - Close, but not close enough.
SS Bo5: crucify vs Trashuny - remember last PL
SS Bo5: parr0t vs Mishlef - As far as I know, MishIef not managed, so the marauder's map is still active. Marauders are pirates which have parrots, so parr0t wins. I'm going to look really dumb if I'm wrong about this but people will probably make fun of my post anyway.
SM Bo5: lmni 1v1 vs Kentari - There's probably a pun but I'm too lazy to find it.
SM Bo5: Squirtell 1v1 vs XSTATIC COLD - Both have uncommon letters, but the Q is worth 2 more in Scrabble than the X.
ORAS Bo5: LRXC vs Mubs - There is no lazzle dazzle in oras. this will improve the quality of LRXC's teams threefold.
BW Bo5: Maki vs philisteen - Maki no mistake, this prediction is another one that my explanation is just a pun.
DPP Bo5: SoulWind vs Jabiru - Jabiru contains "Ja" which means yes.

Monopoke predicts are put on hold for this week.
 
SS Bo7: BlanchedAlmond vs Here Comes Team Charm! - odd choice-
SS Bo5: Waylaid vs Aliss - (HL) Waylaid's been running some p basic stuff thrown in with a random mon to shake it up, which basically forces a lot of 50/50 preview picks. I would say Aliss has been getting a lot better at preview picks, so I'm feeling Waylaid'll need to go back to his more lure-y building style in order to make up that difference and maybe have an edge here, since I don't think going in and hoping to win 3 50/50s is going to do well here.
SS Bo5: Fragments vs not a racist - honestly no clue here so I'm just bolding the guy who 3-0'd xsc
SM Bo5: Acii vs TheShadowClaw
SM Bo5: LBDC vs Lancer Fr - lbdc rly going up against all the seu buddies- I would say Lancer could take it if he coordinates building efforts with tsc, but if he approaches it on his own, it's gonna be a much bigger uphill battle
ORAS Bo5: magicarpe_lvl100 vs Joker 1v1
BW Bo5: Sanshokuinsumireko vs eblurb - (HL) this could really go either way, but I'm gonna say sansho since I feel he has tighter picks
DPP Bo5: Synonimous vs 187 Fan - (HL) I would bold syn here, but I'm feeling his motivation's on the lower end while 187 really seems to be taking a liking to dpp

SS Monopoke Bo5: Maple vs Seo. - no clue

SS Bo7: tears vs DenisTheMenace - (HL) Denis pick strength in Bo7 is a mighty force to attack. With Stable/zio feeding teams, tears is really kinda just outbuilt and outpicked here. The only chance I see at victory here is either coinflipping picks and getting lucky or building some insane fuego.
SS Bo5: smely socks vs zio - (HL) If I weren't forced to choose someone I'd bold neither.
SS Bo5: Aurodian vs Tricking
SM Bo5: Grain2Sel vs Satanic Beast - (HL) g2s is playing a dangerous game and just asking to get cteamed. Only way edgar loses is if he doesn't cteam and rfn's
SM Bo5: Tol vs Freddy Kyogre - it looks like jamez is busy for the week since he's not slotted, which really stinks since outbuilding freddy with cteams is the best way to beat him
ORAS Bo5: Finchinator vs Dez
BW Bo5: Potatochan vs Gym Socks! - (HL) helluva builder core on thwackeys, though a motivated potato can put in more work than those three combined. Main matter is just getting the picks right, to which I feel gym has the edge.
DPP Bo5: Yami vs STABLE - you appear to have mislocated your dpp sir

SS Monopoke Bo5: Leru vs Ryenix

SS Bo7: SiceXV vs Close - (HL) here we go. Good picks are Close's MO, so bo7's somewhere he should thrive.
SS Bo5: crucify vs Trashuny - just a gut feeling based on a growing pattern of who crucify loses to
SS Bo5: parr0t vs Mishlef
SM Bo5: lmni 1v1 vs Kentari - I can't really gauge the motivation of either, but one leaked their builder and the other didn't
SM Bo5: Squirtell 1v1 vs XSTATIC COLD - (HL) HUGE match. Very strong opponents on both sides. While I would have given a slight edge to xsc here normally, I'm feeling his motivation's tanking after the previous weeks, but we'll have to see. Massive edge in his favor if he coordinates with Close, though.
ORAS Bo5: LRXC vs Mubs - (HL) I'm feeling solo LRXC beats solo Mubs, but if Mubs does prep with DEG he'd have the edge.
BW Bo5: Maki vs philisteen - gut says phil will win but Maki will outskill with BW's busted crits
DPP Bo5: SoulWind vs Jabiru - (HL) feeling SW wins if he gets LRXC support, though a motivated Jabiru still has a very solid fighting chance

SS Monopoke Bo5: ExplodingDonkey vs D2TheW

yeah i can't predict. i had worse predicts than bea last week so i don't have it. hope i can make a comeback

wins 60% of the time (7) vs (1)
SS Bo7: Nalei vs dogknees - the successor to Mad denis will be Mad nalei
SS Bo5: Rellia vs Murman0064 - Both coming off of tough losses, however I feel rellia has better prep + picking
SS Bo5: Adela vs Itchyfoot - Adela would have beat zio 33% of the time (hax grrrr), and is far and away a better player who can definitely farm randoms and build well, albeit standard
SM Bo5: Rosa vs Boat - hardcore match | phiwings is coming off of 2 impressive performances, but they arent on the usum 1v1 vr council
SM Bo5: UBERLandon21 vs Akumajou - after the lancer 3-0, akuma looks very beatable, and the fact they don't cteam was shown in 4k ultra hd
ORAS Bo5: bea vs OM - bruh
BW Bo5: alive vs Krytocon - alive definitely has some bw builders on their team, while i've never seen kryto build 1
DPP Bo5: Inkreativ vs Euphonos - dpp match of the year - ink has dropped a grand total of 0 games this pl and he won't be 3-0d by pressure stall
SS Monopoke Bo5: bea vs Quantum Tesseract - picking the 2-1 every time vs picking the 1-2 every time, who will prevail

team tears (2) vs team zio (6)
SS Bo7: tears vs DenisTheMenace - tears' success is making it uncool to bold him, but i will be predicting him every week now (unless against us, and if the randomizer wills it). also, both of these players are very motivated but i really like tears' prep so far
SS Bo5: smely socks vs zio - smely socks got upset by sice, getting outprepped as well, making me doubt if he is as good as other 1v1 council members, while zio is carrying his team's SS
SS Bo5: Aurodian vs Tricking
SM Bo5: Grain2Sel vs Satanic Beast - quirky 2-0 vs 0-2 predict, but grain2sel's teams have some weaknesses in [REDACTED] [REDACTED] [REDACTED]
SM Bo5: Tol vs Freddy Kyogre - freddy will be more motivated after some unfortunate circumstances making them lose, plus tol brought 2 mons
ORAS Bo5: Finchinator vs DezShizzels - dez's teams have mostly been good and i think dom will be able to download finch's itchyfoot syndrome picking style
BW Bo5: Potatochan vs Gym Socks! - gym socks seems to still be coping since world cup, and i honestly think potato is more in touch with the bw 1v1 metagame as of late
DPP Bo5: Yami vs STABLE - i'm actually impressed with radu's dpp knowledge, it's definitely pretty good and i think his dpp prep won't be as bad as people think
SS Monopoke Bo5: Leru vs Ryenix - "leru likes monopoke" ~ crucify 2907 (c. 2021)

Finchinator's Property (2) vs. Finchinator's Other Real Estate (6)
SS Bo7: Close vs SiceXV - sadly sice still has something to prove this pl imo, after losing to nalei and having smely take him to 5. although my faith in scolis has been struck, i still have to bold sice
SS Bo5: Trashuny vs crucify - i am really sad that crucify 2907 lost in bo7 last week but i think he has takeaways from his loss and i think his prep will be better than close/mishlef? prep but we'll see
SS Bo5: Mishlef vs parr0t - mishlef proved himself with the prep last week, he definitely knows the ss metagame, evenmore than parr0t.
SM Bo5: Kentari vs lmni 1v1 - I'm honestly not sure if Squirtell is checking these teams. Can lmni click a 3-0? We will found out (@ lmni i am joking please)
SM Bo5: XSTATIC COLD vs Squirtell 1v1 - Squirtell has been taking care of business week 1 and 2 (although he lost), and I don't know how motivated/how good XSC's teambuilding is
ORAS Bo5: Mubs vs LRXC - honestly just a gut pick at this point idk
BW Bo5: philisteen vs Maki - some people are still sleeping on maki fox despite good, decisive wins - i'm also obligated to bold against philisteen for the same reasons as last week (if he beats me imma take the L)
DPP Bo5: Jabiru vs SoulWind - I feel like the dpp support slowly gets better after time (0-3, 1-3, a 3-2 or 2-3 next), while Jabiru has pretty much been the same since WC. Also, the more sw loses, the more motivated he seems to be
SS Monopoke Bo5: ExplodingDonkey vs Death2thewest - bruh


the real reason people read these
VICTIM OF THE WEEK: Theheheheh (tol)
yeah 30 people voted for this, this eclipsed a carracosta vs glastrier and lele vs heatran loss. he clicked a team without looking, hovered over the accept button, and went into the battle before realizing the folleys of his ways. a truly tragic tale leading him to lose in 5. if he had won this series, porygons had a chance to win the week.

lastly, here is a PSA from the xstatic and crucify slayer himself, tears (who still has people bold against him):

SS Bo5: Aurodian vs Tricking - one I know one I don’t know as much

Predicts! (not cursed I promise)

Pyramids number 1 /\ apex predators ("9") - Jirachis (0)

Slakings (4) - Rhyperiors ("5")
SS Bo7: BlanchedAlmond vs Here Comes Team Charm! - HCTC has been doing pretty well, Blanched has yet to prove themself. If they do well here, I'll bold them in the future
SS Bo5: Waylaid vs Aliss - Waylaid barely beat unviable user Itchyfoot, Aliss has been beating early season expectations
SS Bo5: lvl100Blaziken vs not a racist - Fragments 3-0'd XSC, not a racist has been doing well, but Fragments is doing better
SM Bo5: AltCauseImInsecure vs TheShadowClaw - idk how SM works, but TSC impressed me when he played the Polis where ACII did not
SM Bo5: LBDC vs Lancer Fr - bolding one side of SM just doesn't feel right
ORAS Bo5: magicarpe_lvl100 vs Joker 1v1 - Joker 3-0'd Aku, not too sure if that carries over into ORAS, but if we'll see
BW Bo5: Sanshokuinsumireko vs eblurb - Beating BW Sansho is an ordeal, the eblurb effect won't come into effect
DPP Bo5: Synonimous vs 187 Fan - This one is a toss up, I bolded Synon b/c one word is easier to bold with a double tap :]
SS Monopoke Bo5: Maple vs Seo. - Idk, Seo's ORAS Top Cut Swiss run means I know them slightly more than Maple

Porygons (4) - Thwackeys ("5")
SS Bo7: tears vs DenisTheMenace - This is a toss-up match, but I'm putting my bet on Denis
SS Bo5: smely socks vs zio - smely socks (not a fascist mode) can pull this one out
SS Bo5: Aurodian vs Tricking - I didn't know anything about Tricking before this PL, but they have certainly impressed me.
SM Bo5: Grain2Sel vs Satanic Beast - SM coinflips woooooo
SM Bo5: Tol vs Freddy Kyogre - Tol out to be victim of the week two weeks in a row?
ORAS Bo5: Finchinator vs DezShizzels - Finch is good at mons, Dez l2p
BW Bo5: Potatochan vs Gym Socks! - Gym is an old gens goon, but Potatochan is really good at BW. I'd love to see this series live ^~^
DPP Bo5: Yami vs STABLE - Yami the DPP goat versus Stable (not bw or ss mode)
SS Monopoke Bo5: Leru vs Ryenix - The Immortal retired b/c he didn't want to face Ryenix the monopoke GOAT

Catgirls (3) - Scolipedes ("6")
SS Bo7: Close vs SiceXV - Predicting against the norm, this match could go either way, it's a Close match
SS Bo5: Trashuny vs crucify - Shadowlord Crucify is here
SS Bo5: Mishlef vs parr0t - Mish
SM Bo5: Kentari vs lmni 1v1 - lmni can pull this out, even though she's had a rough PL

ORAS Bo5: Mubs vs LRXC - Wow Wow Mubsy can pull it out against resident YouTuber LRXC

Regalia 6-2 Poliwraths
SS Bo7: Nalei vs dogknees (49-51) - i have a feeling dogknees is gonna win here, hes been solid so far this tour with some nice teams. we'll see if nalei comes back w the same rage la minaccia had after he lost, they are still one of the best players in the bo7 pool. excited to watch this one
SS Bo5: Rellia vs Murman0064 (65-35) - im just gonna say watch both of the series that murman has played so far and leave it at that. rellia is solid even though they lost to tricking last week
SS Bo5: Adela vs Itchyfoot (70-30) - nolenot in his smogbanned purgatory blessed zio last week allowing him to beat adela last week. adela looked solid, itchyfoot syndrome exists so i think it'd come down to prep if they win
SM Bo5: Rosa vs Boat (60-40) - rip frosty busy this week :C, sm should be a nice change of pace for rosa escaping from bw purgatory. phiwings99 has looked good thus far but i think rosa is better
SM Bo5: UBERLandon21 vs Akumajou (55-45) - landon is super fire having a strong 2-0 record so far this tour, akumajou got 3-0'd last week ending his win streak but i expect him to come back with a vengeance making this a very interesting series
ORAS Bo5: bea vs OM (40-60) - om has much more experience and can prob recognize an av serperior so im gonna favor him here, bea has been super shaky
BW Bo5: alive vs Krytocon (55-45) - god bro why is this a mu wtf do i even say here. alive (worth more than eric blurb (classic winner)) barely plays these days but has more historical results, krytocon made bw cup finals but idk if he has even built a bw team so like god bro guess i have to bold alive
DPP Bo5: Inkreativ vs Euphonos (60-40) - the bo3 between these two from wc will finish here kek, euphonos 3-0'd ink last time, ink reverse swept euphonos the first time. however, this is all in the past, and in the present inkreativ is 6-0 and is on the top of his game so gotta bold the best player in the pool

Slakings 4-4 Rhyps
SS Bo7: BlanchedAlmond vs Here Comes Team Charm! (40-60) - this is like a ladder hero battle kek, both of these two have had hella accounts in the top 10 at various points the past month, favoring hctc bc i cannot predict how blanched will perform in a tour setting as i have not seen them play in a tour setting
SS Bo5: Waylaid vs Aliss (55-45) - this is close mu but bopher benching himself to focus on building makes me think that he will outprep legendary ss builder eric blurb and i think waylaid is a better picker anyway
SS Bo5: lvl100Blaziken vs not a racist (60-40) - fragments is turbo fire, nar is 2-0 but im not exactly convinced, like the last mu i believe the legendary eblurb ss support is outclassed by bopher focusing solely on building
SM Bo5: AltCauseImInsecure vs TheShadowClaw (55-45) - my gut says that acii wins this even though by transitive property (tsc>boat>acii) tsc should win this
SM Bo5: LBDC vs Lancer Fr (55-45) - skewdas battle, lancer had a very convincing win vs akumajou last week but i think i still have to favor lbdc bc of his past results and win over close last week
ORAS Bo5: magicarpe_lvl100 vs Joker 1v1 (40-60) - idk what to say. joker curb stomped om with entrainment durant and twave rachi last week. magicarpe has a formidable 1-0 oras sheet record with a win over deg and if he overcomes his tilt and weak mental considering some sets joker brings he def has a shot
BW Bo5: Sanshokuinsumireko vs eblurb (25-75) - sansho is 2-0 but this is eric motherfucking blurb coming off a impressive win over legendary bw player quantum tesseract idt this man can be stopped. 75-25 bc that is the chance that a sableye will o wisp misses
DPP Bo5: Synonimous vs 187 Fan (35-65) - fans been solid, syno seems like they are putting not that much effort in so far but hes still good. regardless advantage fan

Porygons 1-7 Thwackeys (porygons been defying expectations though (managers need to not shit the bed :C))
SS Bo7: tears vs DenisTheMenace (45-55) - tears bodybagged xsc and myself in b2b weeks but denis showed why he was the most expensive player in this tournament and i dont think tears is gonna be enough to stop him and the thwackeys momentum from last week. close though
SS Bo5: smely socks vs zio (30-70) - this is like 100-0 for zio ngl, zio lives hella rent free in smely's head no cap and also builds half the teams smely uses so bop. its 1v1 tho so anything can happen
SS Bo5: Aurodian vs Tricking (0-100) - god bro who is aurodian, tricking is gonna bodybag them whoever they are
SM Bo5: Grain2Sel vs Satanic Beast (10-90) - charizard mega x, aggron, donphan, electric conversion pz, gyara, gigalith. 10% is if edgar doesn't calc
SM Bo5: Tol vs Freddy Kyogre (45-55) - this seems close to me, tol needs to remember to bring 3 mons but hes def solid, femboy kyogre has been solid as well even tho he got reverse swept by frosty last week
ORAS Bo5: Finchinator vs DezShizzels (45-55) - i was gonna bold finch but i want the score to be 7-1 w radu losing LOLOL, in all seriousness finch has been impressive so far and seems to know what hes doing for the most part, but dez has also been good and still has the mexican support
BW Bo5: Potatochan vs Gym Socks! (40-60) - gym socks is def gonna be much more comfortable here than in dpp so i expect him to start winning now after starting 0-2. papi got smited by allah after bringing togekiss making him 0-2 but he still has a good handle on bw.
DPP Bo5: Yami vs STABLE (60-40) - "radu wanted to build a garchomp team in dpp last week" - pqs. radu has a decent enough handle on dpp im just predicting against him for the lolz and for what i said in the oras prdiction though yami might unironically be favored here after starting 2-0 (haxed w1)
 
5 - 3
SS Bo7: Nalei vs dogknees Nalei was not hot at all last week, to be fair. Her prep was very scarce re using mons and cores she was comfortable with. Her picking would've been decent if she was facing the sets she is used to face, but afaik dogknees is getting Bopher support so I'm expecting some heat.
SS Bo5: Rellia vs Murman0064 completed the dex challenge
SS Bo5: Adela vs Itchyfoot let's gooo itchy :3 adela started off 0-1 and regalias prep was extremely boring and lackluster in this slot as well. I hope itchy can make the comebackk
SM Bo5: Rosa vs Boat boat predicted himself to destroy TSC last week and then got FRIED by his own tech. Rosa brings mono grass move sceptile and then picks it into dragonite snorlax genesect ?_? somehow she'll still win cause this is SM and she's viable at building here and there's a 90% chance Boat doesn't even realize Rosa picks the mon with the best MU everytime even tho I just said it here
SM Bo5: UBERLandon21 vs Akumajou sust has so little team support that his shit was 3-0d by dnite last week lmao. Landon is GOD bro
ORAS Bo5: bea vs OM pls win
BW Bo5: alive vs Krytocon can't wait to see the extremely exciting MU between [9k] {benched til week 3 and doesn't team support} (3-0d by Persephone) alive vs BW CUP FINALIST KRYTOCON
DPP Bo5: Inkreativ vs Euphonos e# beats ink as well I'll cry irl

2 - 6
SS Bo7: BlanchedAlmond vs Here Comes Team Charm! viable ladder kid vs unviable ladder kid x)
SS Bo5: Waylaid vs Aliss top 3 ss player vs "have you built any teams that won?"
SS Bo5: lvl100Blaziken vs not a racist I never thought I'd see a highlight match in SS 3 but both of these players are unironically popping off
SM Bo5: AltCauseImInsecure vs TheShadowClaw acii wins everytime if anyone helps acii build (but nobody will)
SM Bo5: LBDC vs Lancer Fr lbdc is the goat I could never bold against him in SM tbh
ORAS Bo5: magicarpe_lvl100 vs Joker 1v1 joker is gonna DESTROY this man's mental spirit by bringing some dogshit, Murman mode(tm)
BW Bo5: Sanshokuinsumireko vs eblurb im not explaining this one fuck off
DPP Bo5: Synonimous vs 187 Fan the duel against manager traps, both of them are consistently high asf in price for consistent negative records kekw. Fan wins cause he seems to be even more viable this year

SS Bo7: tears vs DenisTheMenace
SS Bo5: smely socks vs zio
SS Bo5: Aurodian vs Tricking
SM Bo5: Grain2Sel vs Satanic Beast
SM Bo5: Tol vs Freddy Kyogre
ORAS Bo5: Finchinator vs DezShizzels
BW Bo5: Potatochan vs Gym Socks!
DPP Bo5: Yami vs STABLE
the winners are actually the friends we made along the way :)

3 - 5
SS Bo7: Close vs SiceXV this is super hard to bold cause Close has lost multiple times to Sice but Close is also insanely good at the game so we'll know if he'll defeat the curse (sice almost lost to SMELY SOCKS LMAO)
SS Bo5: Trashuny vs crucify hi cruc can you implement dnite ban
SS Bo5: Mishlef vs parr0t I hope Mishlef loses I'm vs him in ssnl most likely and if he's less viable I'll be happier
SM Bo5: Kentari vs lmni 1v1 please win ;w;
SM Bo5: XSTATIC COLD vs Squirtell 1v1 dude I really hope XSC doesn't start off 0-3 (although that would be super funny lmfao) but that seems likely to happen. Why are you putting him in SM again
ORAS Bo5: Mubs vs LRXC one of the two brought the extremely skillful Finchinator to 5 games and the other one got tossed. l2p LRXC
BW Bo5: philisteen vs Maki oo the deg vs crucify MU. HL for sure but palestine got owned by Sansho so idk
DPP Bo5: Jabiru vs SoulWind soulwind is unironically committing genocide if he goes 0-3 in the prestigious 1v1 Premier League V. crucify l2build

Predicts!

I don't know Jack about shit lmfao, don't take these too seriously except for the second last one.

SS Bo7: Nalei vs dogknees (51-49) - one bad loss doesn't make anyone a bad player and I expect Nalei to come back with a vengeance much like Denis. Dogknees is more than good enough to take this so I'm looking forward to this one.
SS Bo5: Rellia vs Murman0064 (60-40) - Murman needs to get out of his own head. I know that's harsh but he's more than competent enough to take wins this pl if he just sorts it out upstairs. I haven't seen any indication that he will though and Relia already has a w under his belt so he gets the bold
SS Bo5: Adela vs Itchyfoot (65-35) - Itchy was pretty unlucky vs Nar last week but Adela wasn't exactly blessed by rng last week either and looked more solid vs a better oppo.
SM Bo5: Rosa vs Boat (55-45) - Rosa has finally extricated herself from the bw slot but unfortunately it has come at the cost of 2-0 Frosty. Rosa will probably be pretty desperate not to go 0-X as a manager considering how well her name lends itself to jokes about that. Boat apparently plays tour games at 4am which I cannot abide. Frosty would have won 3000% btw free my mans.
SM Bo5: UBERLandon21 vs Akumajou (55-45) - Like Nalei, one L doesn't make Akuma bad but the questions around his support haven't gone away. I'd still bold him vs most players but this is potentially the hardest game to bounce back in. The list of people I'd bold vs Landon is very short and considering that he beat one of them week 1, it's very hard to not go for Landon here. I expect this to be close though.
ORAS Bo5: bea vs OM (40-60)- Bea has been pretty bad so far, OM has been perfectly competent.
BW Bo5: alive vs Krytocon (50-50) - neither of these teams bought a bw main when my mans THIS MACHINE was right there in the pool smdh. Anyway I have literally nothing to go on here, neither has played and the players they're replacing were both 0-2 so their support is questionable too. Fuck this, I flipped a coin.
DPP Bo5: Inkreativ vs Euphonos (55-45) - Ink has been dominant so far, euph got pretty lucky beating fan. Euph winning is by no means out of the question but I'm not betting against ink until he gives me a reason to.
Monopoke: Bea vs Quantum Tessaract (55-45) - Bea's sets were pretty meh last week but I'm not convinced qt can even win in monopoke tbh

SS Bo7: BlanchedAlmond vs Here Comes Team Charm! (40-60) - I love a good ladder goon showdown. Hctc beat an off colour Denis and then lost to Dogknees so they've had a mixed bag so far. I don't have much to go on with Blanch tho and while Bopher prep can definitely swing this in their favour I'm gonna go with the safer pick.
SS Bo5: Waylaid vs Aliss (51-49)- pure gut feeling I have no justification for this one lmfao sorry lads.
SS Bo5: lvl100Blaziken vs not a racist (65-35) - fragments has an excellent ssnl run and a w against xsc under his belt, Nar needed luck to beat itchy, tho his week 1 performance was more impressive.
SM Bo5: AltCauseImInsecure vs TheShadowClaw (45-55) - beating kentari was a nice return to form from acii but tsc has looked super solid.
SM Bo5: LBDC vs Lancer Fr (55-45)- these two know each other pretty well so this should be really interesting, leaning lbdc but it could go either way.
ORAS Bo5: magicarpe_lvl100 vs Joker 1v1 (40-60) - ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
BW Bo5: Sanshokuinsumireko vs eblurb (51-49) - 2-0 vs should be 2-0, I expect this to be very tight (or for eblurb to get completely washed) but I'm giving sansho the edge because eblurb didn't do monopoke predicts so he's a victim.
DPP Bo5: Synonimous vs 187 Fan (40-60) - syno has looked decidedly out of sorts which is a real shame. I hope he can turn it around but Fan has looked better so I'll give it to him.
Monopoke: Maple vs Seo (40-60) - monotype goons in monopoke. Seo. is my bae so I'll give it to him (maples sets have also been pretty bad lol)

SS Bo7: tears vs DenisTheMenace (49-51) - I've been super impressed by tears, especially prepwise but as he showed vs Nalei last week, betting against Denis is a fools game. Tears is definitely able to take this but Denis seems really determined to put up another outstanding team tour record after a frustrating week 1. Real HL this, looking forward to it.
SS Bo5: smely socks vs zio (45-55) - another one I'm looking forward to, these two are very familiar with each others styles and team building choices which makes for a super interesting game. Zio is the goat tho and smely keeps removing :sunglas:
SS Bo5: Aurodian vs Tricking (40-60) - better support
SM Bo5: Grain2Sel vs Satanic Beast (40-60) - this is an upset based on their records but g2s teams have been hella exploitable and while edgar only has four braincells, even he should be able to cteam this man.
SM Bo5: Tol vs Freddy Kyogre (35-65) - 9k tol, finally back in his comfort zone where he knows what mons run Aqua Jet and how many mons to bring. However he still has pretty meh support and idt James is capable of stopping him from bringing specs gyara. Freddy is competent and has played as such.
ORAS Bo5: Finchinator vs DezShizzels (45-55) - how are either of these guys 2-0 smh, dez will choke 2 games but win the other three.
BW Bo5: Potatochan vs Gym Socks! (40-60) - 0-2 vs 0-2 what a hl. Gym was pretty awful in dpp but he's back in his comfort zone while potato has been struggling. Idc if he got crit btw, bringing critbait vs Maki is like bringing a team 3-0d by rachi vs eblurb, it's just bad prep tbh.
DPP Bo5: Yami vs STABLE (99-1) - This motherfucker is unviable outside of bw and since I assume he's responsible for week 1 and 2 dpp teams, he's especially unviable here. I'd bet on my grandad to beat Stable in dpp and he's been dead for five years. 3-0 with 14 crits, you heard it here first.
Monopoke: Leru vs Ryenix (70-30) - I'm pretty sure leru has more lines in my monopoke channel than in his own teamcord so I trust him to win this as long as he doesn't let his teammates build for him (rest mareanie is not it lads). Thwackeys monopoke sets have high key sucked, sorry Rye
