[Ruffles]

Ruffles are you going to take this disrepect

Appreciate your ping! I would have had no idea week 2 was up otherwise

Back to my succulent Chinese meal

 

[LettuceLeaf07]

I thought about taking the oldgens out since i know not that much about the tiers, but eh, its more fun if im baselessly wrong

Morpeek-A-Boos (4) vs (6) Fiery Flamencos
SV ZU: Esteb4n vs MAVERICK SHOOTERS (beat Ho3n)
SV ZU: yo cho vs Danny (I like danny's odds here but I like peko's builder better)
SV ZU: fish anemometer vs zause (i believe)
SV ZU: Trichotomy vs One Last Kiss (peko builder buff)
SS ZU: TheFranklin vs kay
SM ZU: btboy vs Greybaum
ORAS ZU: Havocknight vs lighthouses
BW ZU: Foolycl vs SBPC
DPP ZU: Plague vs missangelic
ADV ZU: Fogbound Lake vs Baoba

Ragebait Raticates (5) vs (5) Smeargle Wizard Money Gang
SV ZU: PTKmoekyuun vs Feen (I actually have no idea im banking on Feen loading something stronger)
SV ZU: S1nn0hC0nfirm3d vs Kyuss (was their only win last week, no reason why it can't happen again)
SV ZU: Shadow079 vs career ended (i think Shadow has more tier experience)
SV ZU: diegoyuhhi vs Sufys (goated)

SV ZU: JJ09LIE vs Django (i promised i opened the replays once, but i dont remember what JJ won with, and surely the tombs have enough people to cook something good with)
SV ZU: Taka vs Feliburn (I dont expect the tomb's SV to go 4-0 this week and I predicted for tombs in the other 3)
SV ZU: DD Joe vs Michael Jordan (I wont be caught losing to camerupt again)
SS ZU: avarice vs Ninja (feels like a tossup here but i bolded the guy I've teamed with)

[Toto]

Cramlington Cramorants vs Shiiny Shiinotics
SS ZU: Pokeslice vs OranBerryBlissey10 - Both lost last week but Slice brought a cool team with solid sets in restalk darkvally and rest rhydon with heal bell support. Also had some heat in ninetales which he should bring again as obb refuses to use thick fat miltank. obb is better ingame so could win but prob sabotages in the builder.

ORAS ZU: DugZa vs Charles A. Theist - Both lost last week after having a better mu than their opps and kinda threw ingame. Dugza played solid but made questionable lines due to a knowledge gap that cost them the game. Charles used stall and had really solid counters his for his opps stallbreakers but made some errors ingame. Charles should go full wack in the builder and knowledge check dugza if he wants to win.

Ragebait Raticates vs Smeargle Wizard Money Gang
SS ZU: seraphz vs pandadoux - This is a bit of a weird one. Seraphz won and played really solid last week but they also won on preview with subplot rotom so can't read too much into it. Panda on the other hand lost on preview to cofa but outplayed their opp and made it as close as they could. Going with panda here just cause they are more proven in the tier but seraphz could just as easily win, nothing against them.

ORAS ZU: RufflesPro vs Neomon - Both won and brought cool teams/sets last week. I'm really impressed with ruffles team if he built on his own, would def use it myself. Neomon spikes ho team on the other hand while cool was alot less solid and could have benefitted from a spinblocker and or defog deterrent and got lucky his opp didn't bring any. Neomon played well and didn't misplay but I think the combo of good team & play from ruffles give them the edge here

The VANGUARDS vs Mossui Town Spiritombs
SS ZU: avarice vs Ninja - Avarice won convincingly vs obb last week allthough they used cheese so cant carry too much weight. I think they will be able to outplay ninja here though. SS ZU has many forms of ho so they should be good for a few more weeks. Ninja should bring persian-alola to give them good outs for most ho/cheese to have a chance.

ORAS ZU: Tenebricite vs Zpice - better play + team combo too strong here.

5gen here you go. I've loved reading your predicts over the years. Hope mine are half as good at yours
Tuthur yours are also really good and informative. Keep them coming both of you!
