Morpeek-A-Boos (5) vs (5) Smeargle Wizard Money Gang
SV ZU: fish anemometer vs Dead By Daylight -- no way fish goes 1-3 right...
SV ZU: Esteb4n vs Kyuss -- i have faith kyuss will bounce back
SV ZU: Trichotomy vs Career Ended -- seemed slightly better to me so far
SV ZU: yo cho vs Feen -- 3-0 vs 0-3 and feen used a pupitar last week
SS ZU: TheFranklin vs sinnabyss -- Franklin is obviously a heavy favorite but sinnabyss isnt bad in this tier
SM ZU: btboy vs 5gen -- sorry unc i might never bold you but you did have a good win last week, 5gen just on fire though
ORAS ZU: Havocknight vs Neomon -- Havoc is cooking
BW ZU: Foolycl vs SEA -- see fish
DPP ZU: Plague vs Beatsblack -- i believe both are 3-0, but beatsblack is an "old gens savant" so he'll win
ADV ZU: Fogbound Lake vs Parpar -- both have been okish but fog seems slightly better rn

Shiiny Shiinotics (4) vs (6) Mossui Town Spiritombs
SV ZU: Metallica126 vs Mada -- mada came in last week and i believe won but meta has been doing well all tour with 3 really strong wins so gotta go with him
SV ZU: THE_CHUNGLER vs LustfulLice -- Both have been solid so far, but Chungler is really consistent in these ZU tours
SV ZU: Chaos23333 vs Feliburn -- feli has been really good and iirc got a bit unlucky last week with a costly discharge para
SV ZU: Leni vs 5MGMatthew5 -- i havent heard of the guy outside of some lurking hes done in zu cord
SS ZU: OranBerryBlissey10 vs Ninja -- i think that while ninja's wins havent been exactly convincing, his builds have been so much better than OBB's that he should win as his record indicates
SM ZU: MZ vs Oathkeeper -- MZ had his one loss of the tour last week
ORAS ZU: Zcarlett vs Zpice -- "Polar Bear in Arlington Texas" ahh
BW ZU: magialice vs Tizio -- he shouldve won last week but got incredibly unlucky
DPP ZU: BP vs Django -- see zpice but its both of them but since django is a better player he gets bolded
ADV ZU: evakiyama! vs Mielke -- evakiyama has been really poor so far and is now playing a new tier again

Cramlington Cramorants (5) vs (5) Ragebait Raticates
SV ZU: TJ vs PTKmoekyuun -- cant bold tj for personal reasons but when hes not facing cheesy ahh hail he wins
SV ZU: LBN vs S1nn0hC0nfirm3d -- maybe hes not tossing
SV ZU: BaitWiz vs diegoyuhhi -- diego's teamtour record is much worse than baitwiz's, and baitwiz got really unlucky vs diego w1
SV ZU: PlayaBeavs vs TakingNotesKinda -- Beavs came really close but got stoned by Acid Spray Bellossom which beat his bello in the endgame, TNK isn't bad though I just am really high on Beavs
SS ZU: Pokeslice vs seraphz -- It's about even but I think slice has more experience playing the tier so he should be able to cook up
SM ZU: Terracotta vs Tack
ORAS ZU: DugZa vs Ruffles -- ruffles has been very convincing all tour
BW ZU: 5Dots vs Xrn -- Xrn has been excellent so far, but never underestimate hax
DPP ZU: HSOWA vs Drud -- clanker tinskin wireback
ADV ZU: plznostep vs czim -- sorry steppy but unc has some magical aura to his current zupl run

Also Tuthur breh free me from ZU even its just for my game vs FlamPoke

We're going back to random* bolding. Checking the replays took too long last week.

Morpeek-A-Boos (5) vs (5) Smeargle Wizard Money Gang
SV ZU: fish anemometer vs Dead By Daylight (we still bold fish)
SV ZU: Esteb4n vs Kyuss (I think last week was an overcook, swanna kinda sucks imo. Surely Kyuss hones it in a little and doesn't bring swanna again)
SV ZU: Trichotomy vs Career Ended (Trich is going to load a better team.)
SV ZU: yo cho vs Feen (yo cho good)
SS ZU: TheFranklin vs sinnabyss (i've heard TheFranklin is good)
SM ZU: btboy vs 5gen (I've heard 5gen is good, and btboy did beat MZ last week, but 5gen appears to have been overall more consistent.)
ORAS ZU: Havocknight vs Neomon (idk)
BW ZU: Foolycl vs SEA
DPP ZU: Plague vs Beatsblack
ADV ZU: Fogbound Lake vs Parpar

Shiiny Shiinotics (4.5) vs (5.5) Mossui Town Spiritombs
SV ZU: Metallica126 vs Mada
SV ZU: The_chungler vs LustfulLice (no idea, this feels like one of the many HL MU's this week. )
SV ZU: Chaos23333 vs Feliburn (yeah feli is doing good)
SV ZU: Leni vs 5MGMatthew5 (no idea if matthew ever played zu)
SS ZU: OranBerryBlissey10 vs Ninja (OBB is not an 0-4 player but Ninja isnt 0-x)
SM ZU: MZ vs Oathkeeper
ORAS ZU: Zcarlett vs Zpice (im copying someone else's predict here i have no idea how either of these are gonna play)
BW ZU: magialice vs Tizio
DPP ZU: BP vs Django
ADV ZU: evakiyama! vs Mielke

Fiery Flamencos (3) vs (7) The VANGUARDS
SV ZU: MAVERICK SHOOTERS vs Tuthur
SV ZU: Danny vs JJ09LIE (kinda trust vanguard builder more? )
SV ZU: zause vs FlamPoke (feel like zause is gonna cook smth diabolical for THE hl mu)
SV ZU: One Last Kiss vs Taka
SS ZU: kay vs avarice
SM ZU: Greybaum vs a fruitshop owner (it would be really helpful if I knew abt this tier because I genuniely have no idea which way this is going to go and recognize both names as good, but fortunately since I don't, im actually picking a side)
ORAS ZU: lighthouses vs Tenebricite (feel like i predicted too many for vanguards and frankly wasnt sure who to bold otherwise)
BW ZU: SBPC vs Monai
DPP ZU: Procrastinasian vs Baddy
ADV ZU: Baoba vs bydy (not too up to date on adv but i think this is a good mu to watch)
 
The predicts, explicitly not a reflection of who is the "better player", just who will be the winner...no commentary needed

Lower effort post this week. I didn't feel like doing a big write up and made a post anyway.

Shiiny Shiinotics vs Mossui Town Spiritombs
SS ZU: OranBerryBlissey10 vs Ninja - The Shiinotics got hammered last week and OBB's been on a slide so far. OBB lost another close one vs Franklin last week. Compared to Ninja, OBB brought a much more standard team. Speaking of Ninja, he brought a wild team with Flareon, Accelgor, and SD Rest Talk Silv-Water. By turn 18, Ninja was up 6-2 but his team was mostly chipped away. But in the turns that followed, it looked like Ninja was about to make a huge toss. Long story short, the game turned ugly for Ninja and he almost got reverse swept by slice's CM Rap-G. Luckily, Flareon clutched it (maybe slice would've won anyway if he clicked Morning Sun and Rap-G lived Flare Blitz). Anyway, OBB has to start winning cuz it's not looking good for last year's champs.
SM ZU: MZ vs Oathkeeper - Both players lost last week, which makes it one loss for MZ and three for Oath. I think both MZ and Oath brought some flawed teams last week. I think MZ is better at building and picking teams than Oath and the Tombs. MZ is also a better player so this matchup is as lopsided as it gets. That being said, it's SM so Oath can always bring something that gets a good matchup.
ORAS ZU: Zcarlett vs Zpice - Sad to see Charles go 0-3. On the bright side, Zcarlett is a perfectly capable player and has experience in ORAS ZU. After he got an auto-win mu week 2, Zpice got an auto-lose one to BU Gogoat. I feel like OBB will have more of a say of what gets used here. This makes me think Zcarlett will load something relatively standard and safe. Meanwhile, I think Zpice is still figuring things out here.

Fiery Flamencos vs The VANGUARDS
SM ZU: Greybaum vs a fruitshop owner - HL matchup for me. I have a gut feeling afo will win here. On paper, Greybaum has played better so far and has more reps in SM ZU in team tours. afo hasn't been performing as well as I thought he'd be (granted he lost to two good players in MZ and Tack). fruits made a couple misplays last week and was caught by Custap Muk, a set Tack used before to beat me in SMPL. On the other hand, Greybaum was caught by Gknot Raichu and AV Wishi. I think Greybaum's style is easier to exploit than afo's, so I'm leaning towards afo.
ORAS ZU: lighthouses vs Tenebricite - Both players have been solid pilots. I think Tene's teams have been more polished, and that the Vanguards' ORAS support is better than the Flamencos'.

Cramlington Cramorants vs Ragebait Raticates
SS ZU: Pokeslice vs seraphz - Pokeslice has more experience in the tier and comes off as the more creative player. Both are solid pilots so this should be a fun one. I feel like seraphz's structures have been similar to one another so far. I think slice and the Crams will pull a good mu here.
SM ZU: Terracotta vs Tack - Tack has been on an impressive run ever since SMPL started. Similarly, Terra has put up good records in SM ZU. i'm leaning towards Terra because I think he'll be able to figure out Tack's style and prep accordingly.
ORAS ZU: DugZa vs Ruffles - Ruffles brought an insane pick last week in Roost Acro Mothim. His teams have been quite creative and his games have been pretty entertaining. Dugza tends to bring more standard builds. I don't know if Dugza's style works here because Ruffles is a wild card to prep for. I can see this going either way though because sometimes those wild picks don't pan out.
