Tb predict time
SV: Ajna vs TheFranklin Def the highlight match of the tb. I am barely meaning Frankin but I would not be surprised if Ajna wins. Both technically have a 6-2 record, so yeah, incredibly close.
ORAS: Chaitanya vs DugZa I think this match is pretty even. Both have a X-1 record, though Chait has more games played compared to Dugza. Still, pretty exciting match.
ADV: Finchinator vs SpoiledBerries Sorry finch, I love you bro, but SpoiledBerries has been doing amazingly in this tour and is more of an ADV RU mainer. I mean, this could be an insane upset, but I heavily doubt it.
 
SV: Ajna vs TheFranklin - realest highlight of this tb and I liked the teams Ajna brought so far so I might as well have no dignity and bold this extremely scary dictator that dont even laugh when I appeal for boycotting RUGL hosting just so I can speedrun forums ban quicker than planned. Why are people so cold man fr
ORAS: Chaitanya vs DugZa - I will maybe be gifting 5 euros ($5.66 / 1701 LKR) to whoever wins using Gurdurr or Scrafty (basically my wallet is safe)
ADV: Finchinator vs SpoiledBerries - I'm not sorry Finch, I love you Berries, you have been doing amazingly in your whole career and are more of a Hitmonchan mainer. This could not be an insane upset, I do not lightly doubt it.

I hope we all lose
 
SV: Ajna vs TheFranklin - both have been having great tours, and i would say franklin's has been more impressive considering he's in bo3, but ajna is at his best in situations where he absolutely has to win. the technicians seemed pretty comfortable with just spamming wo-chien spikes last week, and it did work very well for them up until the ajna vs sufys game; to me this shows the pranksters have what it takes to adapt to a very rapidly changing metagame and punish their opponents if they ever feel too comfortable, which is very important here. however, i think the pranksters also have a tendency to overcook at times (hecid), or instead fall into very similar building patterns (pads gapdos + scarf fez, still using leechtect chien in may 2025), which is kinda how they got punished pretty badly last week. i still trust ajna more as a player though, as long as he doesn't get too wild in the builder and franklin doesn't get too lucky

ORAS: Chaitanya vs DugZa - i honestly don't think oras was the correct pick from the pranksters, but maybe they have a reason i'm unaware of. chaitanya's very good at this tier, but i'd say dugza is overall slightly better while having played more than enough oras ru. i think where chaitanya has the edge is the builder, as he's backed by feli and ajna whereas dugza has less support. he's still a good builder though, and i feel like there's only so much you can do to punish certain building patterns in this tier. but idk i don't play or build this tier much so i might be making shit up

ADV: Finchinator vs SpoiledBerries - this one reminds me of the uupl semis tb, with attribute getting slotted in adv against 7-1 xrn and funnily enough, he won. berries is currently 7-1, and finch (much like attribute in uu) has never played this tier before. also, both the uupl tb adv game and this one were scheduled to be the last game. i honestly don't have a real rational reason to be bolding finch here but there are a few parallels so, sure why not!

overall a very close tb, i'm predicting the pranksters to win but i wouldn't be surprised at any of these games going the other way. let's all just make sure we get 3 games please :))
