yh I'm stopping whatever is going on here, the world needs my predicts so here they are (12/24 last week i'm the best)
W VIRIZZIONS (3) vs (5) Heart Takers
AAA:
shiloh vs ghostlike - i now have acquired the conviction that ghostlike is a certified fraud. Not that losing to maybca is particularly shameful - ghostlike is a better player but they both played fine overall -, but his team was uhn, questionable. Using Primarina and not having a real answer to moltres is not good and while he managed to play around it it could've been way worse, and scarf psea lando is basically a war crime. Also idk was his corv was, but it was spd so maybe it was fluffy spd (weird) or it was not fluffy and he was just losing to band zama for no reason. Shiloh had almost nothing to do last week and they made a very good call of stalling but they seem in touch with the tour so I trust them here
AAA: Betticus IV vs
Stareal - Betticus did not play very well their last games, not recognizing scarf tusk was a mistake esp when it clicked spin twice on gliscor (yea it could've been a bait but with how slow the team was you had to check) ; I did now watch Stareal games with the same dedication but they are in 2-1 and played quite well from what I've seen
BH: Quinn vs
Treeko928 - Quinn is back so I guess it was because they were unavailable last week bc I felt like teamo played nicey against quo and almost got the win ? I would've been happy to see them play again, but I'm also curious to see if Quinn is gonna get owned like W2 or get a clutch win like W1? However, Treeko has played some nice games and I'm eager to see what they got in the bag, so I'm rooting for them
STAB: Fusien vs
Sylvi - Sylvi back IN after Takers playing musical chairs with their slots, I have high expectations ; on the other hand Fusien reused a team that does not seem so good so while they won and are good in game it probably shows lack of interest in the tour / prep so I don't trust them too much
MnM: emoxu9 vs
hayedenn - hayedenn will keep farming the pool, unfortunately
GG:
pannu vs entrocefalo - fraud but pannu is still kinda good i guess
PiC: NovaFish21 vs
Frixel - Frixel = goat
Bo3:
fififlutters vs SammyCe123 - interesting pairing, both are in 2-1 but have only won against the bottom of the pool in bo3 and lost against stronger opponents (Ice and QT) so it'll decide whether they are top contenders are not. Giving the edge to fifi bc I rate her building a bit higher and feels like it could give her an edge here, but it's def close
Commanders (4) vs (4) Dazzling Diancies
AAA: RoFnA vs Kinetic - fuck you also what where those teams also what where those plays I'm not watching your games ever again
AAA: Iride vs
Mada - not the game I'm most eager to watch, Iride only played W1 and lost while Mada won last week in a good game I think ? but I still feel like they misplayed their early weeks and I'm not convinced, so I'm giving the edge cuz better support + overall better player so far I think but eh
BH:
cityscapes vs Wheaty - so now city is both the best player and the best reviewer of the pool ? this is so unfair. I still believe in wheaty for the incoming weeks, but not today sry bro
STAB:
Clem vs abriel - he is beautiful and good at the game
MnM: Maybca☆〜ゝ。∂ vs
zastra - im too lazy to scout how well zastra played last week (
Redflix do your job) but idk how in touch with MnM Maybca is, so I'm giving the edge to zastra anyway
GG:
Fc vs LBN - don't use Registeel this shit can't be good. Also LBN got ouplayed by Lily p hard last week and got lucky with their prima who had a good MU + avoided sludge bomb poison (which was their only path but they had to fish for that and p much got destroyed before), so Fc is just better here
PiC: HiZo vs yuki fuck you too
Bo3:
damflame 3 vs TTTech - losing to Mindnight, esp in BH, is a war crime. Can't bold TTTech for the rest of the tour.
Pink Ponyta Club (4) vs (4) Crazy Diamond Dialgas
AAA: violet river vs
DeepFriedMagikarp - Glory ? where are you ? DFM got out of jail and they must show that they're a top contender both in AAA and PiC
AAA: feen vs
O1V7O2X9O - the GOAT.
BH: Ballfire vs
XxLazzerpenguinxX - the washed GOAT
STAB:
xdRudi.exe vs word - word had to get a bit lucky to win and rudi is just so good
MnM: db vs
PociekMociek - I trust my boy, curious to see how db will do here though after Bonk's benching
GG:
Lily vs Nashrock - Lily got lazy and brought boring ass GG team last week and still played so well, I hope she brings more funny stuff though
PiC:
Chromate vs Fangame10 - all time PiC goat vs Fangame10 do I have to say more
Bo3:
Mindnight vs clas - Mindnight is NOT gonna lose until he faces Icemaster
