1v1 Predicts

Mentality vs NTG: Mentality is super active in SV + likely has more shadow backers helping him + Recti support
Kala Chasmah vs Sufys: Haven't seen Sufys for a while, but Kala is back from his break and I expect he'll be as good as ever
TGK vs Liimpy: Possibly the most interesting match. TGK is just coming off their amazing 6-2 breakout season in PL, but the question now is if they can build independently. Slip support is nice, but he's got his own match too. Liimpy I haven't seen much of, so I'm going to bet on TGK staying afloat as he swims into slightly deeper teamtour waters.
Call Me PK vs Mcthelegit: Close one, I think this will go 3-2. Both players seem to be independent builders so I also predict this is the most boring match :totodiLUL:

i literally have the same support + slip - frailty LOL
 
low effort 1v1 predicts
Mentality vs NTG: Valin will have a slight edge in builder but NTG will outclick anyway
kala vs sufys: OhioGengar support will prevail because it would be funny
TGK vs Liimpy: that PL run was pretty sick
cmpk vs Big Mac the legit: good player vs good player, I’m not gonna pretend any of these predicts are based on anything except vibes
also sorry for bolding against both my barras you’re still goats
 
Hii some predicts for OU

OU1: clean v. J0RIS - One of the best SV players right now, clean should take this pretty easily
OU2: KeshBa54 v. Baddy - Both had good showings from WCOP and solid players, I'll give this one to Baddy cuz he has cool teams and I've seen better performances from him

OU1: Pinecoishot v. MAVERICK SHOOTERS pineco should win 100-0 the other dude is washed and bad

OU1: Suzuya v. JJ09LIE - Highlight this week. Both very established players and have had a great year so far in both officials and side tours, very 50/50 imo though JJ is coming off a great OLT qualification
OU2: Amaske v. fatBatman Idk much about either of these players but I played Amaske in olt so ig he has the edge from being more active in the meta

OU1: Fusien v. SirPeanutCronch - Fusien is having a great year and he does not look like he is stopping anytime soon after his WCOP run and qualifying for OLT in cycle 1, should be a very dominant matchup
OU2: LB v. kDCA - kdca is more proven and has showed great results this olt so gonna bold him

gl all go ppap
 
OU1:  clean v. J0RIS
Clean is in great form rn, qualifying for olt and having a string of good ou tours recently, I think he's quite tapped into SV right now and expect him to have a great showing this tour. I have no idea what to expect from the enigmatic J0RIS but he's certainly a very capable player when he's active, though SV is a tier where you need to constantly be on top of things and ahead of the meta to succeed. I think clean should take this one handily but I expect J0RIS will power up in the following weeks as he plays more SV and familiarizes himself more with the tier.

OU2: KeshBa54 v. Baddy
I thought Baddy was an impressive player last year when I drafted him and I think he has improved a lot since then. Not sure if he's been focusing in SV OU in particular but mons is mons yknow. Keshba on the other hand has gone a long way from being free ladder points as DCT1 Staller, I've seen some of his OLT runs and he's def become a solid player in SV now. While I think keshba is more of the SV main, I'm favoring Baddy since he has a lot more experience with smogon tours in general and has shown he can perform many times. Wouldn't be surprised if keshba takes it tho.

OU1: Pinecoishot v. MAVERICK SHOOTERS
Mav has been in a bit of a slump with SV OU rn, but I expect (hope) he will make his grand return to form this tour. Depending on how seriously he takes it I think his season can go either way. If he cooks some new heat like the boulder team in wcop then I think he will have a great season. Pineco on the other hand is an even crazier builder, I think he's in good form rn sniping everyone in OLT, and I'm excited to see what he brings this tour. I'm not sure what to expect from this game honestly but both players have high ceilings. Slightly favoring pineco but it's close.

OU2: Arc v. Mada
Closest mu of the ou series imo. Vk payed a fuk ton for Arc which makes me confident that he's coming into this tour motivated and ready (right?) and I think he can do really with some innovative teams. Mada is obv a very seasoned SV OU player and I think he will do great too. 49/51 kinda mu imo, wouldn't be surprised if either wins.

OU1: Suzuya v. JJ09LIE
Another close game, JJ is definitely the more accomplished SV OU player of the two, with an impressive OLT qual to show he's in good form, but Suzuya is no slouch either, he had a great WCOP showing playing sv, showing he's very capable in this tier as well. JJ has been too consistent here for me to not bold, but if Suzuya brings his HPL4 super saiyan mode he can def take it.

OU2: Amaske v. fatBatman
Like with J0RIS, fbm is a solid player but he's been very inactive up until just recently, I actually was expecting him to play rands, but he's shown good results in OU in the past so maybe that'll show for this game. Amaske has been an active SV OU player for some time and SV has always shown that those who are active will succeed, expecting him to take this one, tho fbm should improve as the weeks pass.

Good luck to everyone, except when you're playing Kochi ;)
