SV ZU: Feliburn vs TJ - feliburns has been playing very well so far
SV ZU: Mada vs LBN - sheist game vs chungler last week
SV ZU: LustfulLice vs DripLegend - pretty close skill wise but Ive liked drip teams more
SV ZU: Django vs PlayaBeavs - django didn't play the best last week
 
Morpeek-A-Boos (4) vs (6) Shiiny Shiinotics
SV ZU: yo cho vs Emre Mor 9 -- yo cho is better, 2-0, played well last week, and although he won't stop yapping about "fire" resists in zu cord should win over mr. monday act call
SV ZU: Esteb4n vs Chaos23333 -- Chaos's gameplay has seemed better so far, Esteb4n got bailed by LBN clicking Knock for no reason in w1 and wasnt super impressive last week either.
SV ZU: Trichotomy vs THE_CHUNGLER -- 5th on PRs, did have a mild toss last week but has been very good overall in ZU
SV ZU: fish anemometer vs Metallica126 -- gonna go for the upset, Meta outplayed a bad mu and won last week, whereas fish threw a 100% win last week
SS ZU: TheFranklin vs OranBerryBlissey10 -- obb lost the last two weeks using bad teams, whereas franklin uses good teams and wins
SM ZU: btboy vs MZ -- MZ won his hardest match of the tour convincingly last week, he's going 7-0, whereas btboy is 0-2, sorry unc
ORAS ZU: Estragos vs Charles A. Theist -- Charles hasn't been great so far, whereas anonymous has won both games
BW ZU: Foolycl vs magialice -- magialice is 1-0 with a strong win over 5dots, foolycl is 1-1 with a weak haxy win over a sub with no prep
DPP ZU: Plague vs evakiyama! -- evakiyama has been really poor in the first two weeks, plague has been solid
ADV ZU: Fogbound Lake vs BP -- he's 1-0, missed last week whereas fog required insane hax to win w1 then lost last week

Ragebait Raticates (4) vs (6) The VANGUARDS
SV ZU: PTKmoekyuun vs FlamPoke -- rats sv lol + better meta knowledge + strong win last week and got haxed in his loss, though PTK did defeat feen last week
SV ZU: diegoyuhhi vs JJ09LIE -- this guy has been really impressive so far, diego could win but given his teamtour history im not so sure
SV ZU: S1nn0hC0nfirm3d vs DD Joe -- why is he still starting, we all know hes gonna lose
SV ZU: Shadow079 vs Taka -- taka has not been good so far
SS ZU: seraphz vs avarice -- vanguards have all my broken teams from last zupl, otherwise id probably predict seraphz
SM ZU: Tack vs a fruitshop owner -- tack has been unlucky, but afo has a better record and more history playing this tier than tack
ORAS ZU: Ruffles vs Tenebricite -- ruffles has been very good so far, whereas vanguards prepped tene a team 6-0d by cm duosion and got punished
BW ZU: Xrn vs Monai -- MONAI
DPP ZU: Drud vs Baddy -- Drud lost to beatsblack last week but im sure he'll make an incredible come back to go 11-1 this tour
ADV ZU: czim vs bydy -- while ive liked teaming with bydy and the effort he puts into prep, he is 0-2 whereas czim is 2-0 and czim had a really good win last week

Mossui Town Spiritombs (3) vs (7) Cramlington Cramorants
SV ZU: Feliburn vs TJ -- feli has been good and im not allowed to bold tj for personal reasons anyway
SV ZU: Mada vs LBN -- LBN had the most generational toss in modern zupl history but did just get a very good win vs THE_CHUNGLER himself
SV ZU: LustfulLice vs DripLegend -- Close, but Lice is slightly better imo
SV ZU: Django vs PlayaBeavs -- glad hes been freed, hes really good imo
SS ZU: Ninja vs Pokeslice -- Ninja hasnt played very well so far, whereas Slice played poorly vs Franklin but very well vs OBB last week
SM ZU: Oathkeeper vs Terracotta -- Oath is 0-2 with some bad matchups, and Terracotta is coming off a bad loss, but Terra is more consistent (stop loading quax + spin top on ladder though plz)
ORAS ZU: Zpice vs DugZa -- unless zpice autowins with another cringy oras sweeper dugza should win
BW ZU: Cow vs 5Dots -- cow should be motivated, as if he loses he'll probably be benched, whereas 5dots is very lucky but has loaded bad teams so far and got smoked last week
DPP ZU: Ara vs HSOWA -- this guy went for like 16k he better win
ADV ZU: mielke vs plznostep -- steppy is my goat and should be 2-0 if not robbed although they did get a bit lucky last week, whereas mielke is
 
pulled up the replay thread for these, i wish I randomly bolded cuz there are only so many weezing lax tomb float jolt whimsi mesp sandslash games one can watch, and it probably would have changed ~2 predicts

SV ZU: yo cho vs Emre Mor 9: I think it's safe to bold THE yo cho against someone who brought quaxwell last week.
SV ZU: Esteb4n vs Chaos23333: I think i like the builds that Chaos brought more
SV ZU: Trichotomy vs THE_CHUNGLER: I think what happens this game depends on what THE_CHUNGLER brings this week. I think that Trichotomy wont be ready for the Dachsbun or Flapple or Camerupt or whatever THE_CHUNGLER loads.
SV ZU: fish anemometer vs Metallica126: it's fish. we're bolding fish.

SV ZU: PTKmoekyuun vs FlamPoke: Both brough teams that are more or less meta both weeks, and I guess the Sableye FP brough excites me more. idk im sick of looking at lax + weezing/mesp + slash + lanturn balance builds
SV ZU: diegoyuhhi vs JJ09LIE: talk about fun looking builds. I'm also trying to make amends for not bolding JJ last week.
SV ZU: S1nn0hC0nfirm3d vs DD Joe: H0-3n. Jokes aside, I can't predict the 0-3 even though I trust the VANGUARD builder more, because this is the S1nn0hC0nfirm3d.
SV ZU: Shadow079 vs Taka: They are both 0-2, and although I feel like this is a toss-up, I think I'll bold the one who lost to ditto tera blast w1 over the one who lost to specs jolt.

SV ZU: zause vs kyuss: both are gonna bring heat, and I'm excited to see what comes on both sides. I just get the vibe that this is the type of game where zause gets haxxed by an unmon and randomly has beef with the guy for a month afterwards? It's also hard to predict an SV 4-0 and I am more confident abt the other 3.
SV ZU: One Last Kiss vs Career Ended: Career Ended's games were both vs HO, and it checks out that the stall v HO MU was their one win. I feel like OLK's games were a little more exciting to (re)watch and had a little more finesse, and if I'm bolding based off the replays, I'll go with it.
SV ZU: Danny vs feen: Again, cooler in the builder IMO. I'm just bolding based on how much I like the builds, which increases proportionally as sandslash usage decreases.
SV ZU: MAVERICK SHOOTERS vs sufys: 1-1 vs 0-2. Didn't like sufrys' brings, and mav won with greedant vs S1nn0h. mav def had good luck that game, but I think the 1 win can carry this predict either way.
 
Morpeek-A-Boos (0) vs (0) Shiiny Shiinotics
SV ZU: yo cho vs Emre Mor 9 - the hero will triumph
SV ZU: Esteb4n vs Chaos23333 - idk they're both fine players
SV ZU: Trichotomy vs THE_CHUNGLER - chungler will send some crazy random pick and then get goobed by snow
SV ZU: fish anemometer vs Metallica126 - hl matchup, the pekos have pretty much picked up where europe left off so I'm giving fish the edge here, though metallica's more than good enough to take a win here if he finds a way through the pekos technology
SS ZU: TheFranklin vs OranBerryBlissey10 - not obb's tour so far and i dont see him changing that against franklin who's already on his typical hot streak
SM ZU: btboy vs MZ - im not bolding against MZ in SM, especially when btboy hasn't had a good start
ORAS ZU: Havocknight vs Charles A. Theist - charles has been thoroughly underwhelming while estra's got two wins so far
BW ZU: Foolycl vs magialice
DPP ZU: Plague vs evakiyama! - i haven't been paying a ton of attention to dpp this year but plague's been solid legit every time ive seen them play
ADV ZU: Fogbound Lake vs BP

Ragebait Raticates (0) vs (0) The VANGUARDS
SV ZU: PTKmoekyuun vs FlamPoke - i legit can't decide between them, ptk's the stronger player but fp actually brings interesting teams sometimes and eventually he'll find a banger
SV ZU: diegoyuhhi vs JJ09LIE - should be pretty close, diego's the theoretical favorite due to his reigning circuit champion status but jj09lie's a great player and diego's teamtour record is infamous by this point
SV ZU: S1nn0hC0nfirm3d vs DD Joe - idt ho3n has won a single game since coming back to zu, I could easily see him making this predict wrong since he's historically been a solid player but i cant in good faith bold him at the moment
SV ZU: Shadow079 vs Taka - bias pick, I just wanna see shadow succeed
SS ZU: seraphz vs avarice - avarice will either tilt seraphz with scheduling and win the mental war or just outclick on game day
SM ZU: Tack vs a fruitshop owner - I feel like she'll find her footing this week, especially since afo usually brings some very wack stuff into this tier
ORAS ZU: Ruffles vs Tenebricite - Ruffles is on a tear and Drud's support is actually pretty good for ORAS
BW ZU: Xrn vs Monai - highlight matchup, Xrn and Monai have both started the tournament well and are both excellent players. I'd maybe give the slightest of edges to Xrn, but it really could go either way.
DPP ZU: Drud vs Baddy - baddy's a great player but when it comes to dpp drud's head and shoulders above every single player left in this pool
ADV ZU: czim vs bydy - the old dog knows new tricks

Fiery Flamencos (0) vs (0) Smeagle Wizard Money Gang
SV ZU: zause vs kyuss - iykyk, no disrespect to the zausinator but kyuss is that guy and ngl it feels like half the time zause is playing roulette trying to find a random mu fish in these tours
SV ZU: One Last Kiss vs Career Ended - idk, olk's wins weren't that convincing to me and career ran into a dream mu for his only win
SV ZU: Danny vs feen - bias pick for my 2023 ZU Circuit GOAT
SV ZU: MAVERICK SHOOTERS vs sufys - i have faith in sufys finding his footing this week and i dont love that mav used two unmons week 1, even if they ended up winning
SS ZU: kay vs PandaDoux - I think kay will find his footing here after having to face the music about machoke w1 and then franklin w2
SM ZU: Greybaum vs 5gen - Greybaum's a consistent and strong player in SM and someone who I basically can always trust to perform well, so even though they're both coming into this week undefeated I favor Greybaum overall
ORAS ZU: lighthouses vs neomon
BW ZU: SBPC vs SEA - despite her loss last week to Xrn, I feel that SEA is pretty heavily favored here compared to SBPC who had a lackluster week 1 and has typically stuck to other generations in times past
DPP ZU: missangelic vs BeatsBlack - beatspl
ADV ZU: Baoba vs Parpar
