No disrespect it's just Dynamos can't fool me with this bait and switch again. They're double switching dude in like a Pokemon.

Actual ou predictions:

SV OU: Kebab mlml vs JJ09LIE
SV OU: ABR vs Fusien - extremely fire mu and a tiebreaker for best record. Going with Fusien because he played out of his fucking mind last week
SV OU: GXE vs bhkg

SV OU: TJ vs Patatexv
SV OU: Star vs Hiko
SV OU: Finchinator vs sire clod - "ninth why are you triple bolding the basically eliminated team?" This is the Machines' last chance to gatekeep a team on the cusp of qualifying, a known phenomenon, and they also randomly beat the Shoguns so they clearly have it in them. This is the only logic I'm using here

SV OU: Separation vs Lazuli - lowkey there is some upset potential here, Dynamos always come with the fire 3k records. But Sepa played very sheist in OLT and brings cool shit too, hard to argue with that
SV OU: DAHLI vs Niko
SV OU: Attribute vs Pkel SweeTforU - look on some serious shit both of these guys are better than their records suggest. I think in my form I bolded Attribute but this is a pretty good matchup

SV OU: Axzel vs TDNT
SV OU: kDCA vs oldspicemike - I'm bolding mike until Terrors make playoffs like they always do
SV OU: Ewin vs heileone

SV OU: 3d vs SoulWind
SV OU: Mako vs Stareal - despite his custom title Stareal pretty much always goes positive in SV. I guess to truly hate something you have to understand it
SV OU: Baddy vs avarice
 
SV RU predicts time. Let's get mean! Predicts are little more than an excuse to get my jokes off. Don't take em serious.

RichardMillePlain vs Dj Breloominati♬
Feli's cooking has been doing well so far. Last week he cooked some fucking anti-HO HO with a bulky tera poison crawdaunt which.. LOL. I hate chesnaught too but i dunno bout that much. Spit got subbed out by lottery ticket super jesi Tiko who lucked the dogshit out of HJK. But hjk loaded stall so hold that :woop: that being said, I rate both of their performances rather highly, so this should be a good one as long as the shit they load isnt some more fucking HO. 3/10 teams last week weren't HO or a stall im gonna hurl man.

baconeatinassassin vs Kristyl
Spartans are currently 0-7 in RU jesus christ. My poor goat Rhyperior getting its winrate sabotaged by this team while it has less loads than fucking lycanroc dawn man. I'm In The Pits of Hell. Back to the actually playing the game (unlike Avarice :worrywhirl:), frankly I've been relatively whelmed by Kristyl's play overall this tour, lots of little mistakes and plays that add up to scenarios where what should be sure-fire wins are suddenly under intense question, and almost all their wins have been games my dementia ridden grandmother could take home. But positive is positive. And throwing bacon into the cursed hounds in a desperate attempt to scour out some wins may be promising, but you're expecting me to bet against a team that's currently 5-2 in the tier. The house may be mickey, but the house always wins.

Colin vs Hacker
Yo dave. Big man. I love you, you the best. But listen to me. Whoever keeps passing these trash ass HOs to Colin? Yeah do me a solid. Take em out to applebees. Treat em to dinner. Take them out back, and do away with them. He can't use em. He fought torrent Empoleon with webs and still managed to not win man. Those bleakwind misses were unfortunate, just a shame it took 2 rest talk flops for him to get to click those as it is. This ain't me tryna hate on the two ppl who happen to have Ws vs Santu btw, that's just a coincidence lmao. Hacker's record.. i don't remember but idrc either, My Guy Gonna Win. Colin's has had relatively unfortunate luck this tournament if I recall, but I like Hacker's loads significantly more. Beyond colin's swampert cress squad that shit was flames do summ like that again.

hjkhj vs TheFranklin
We got mr. flip a coin vs Big Frank. HJK has two modes; HO or stall. He does NOT change this shit up. Hiko loaded HO into theo last week and if god didn't have a raging anger towards hjk that game he never lost that shit. HJK is realistically a two-trick pony, but he's still an incredible player. Franklin is a super solid player and he's been loading some solid stuff. If he can manage Theo's Six Paths of Pain, he should be able to put up a win. If HJK switches it up for a god damn change, well now we got a good ass fuckin game on our hands. Two 5-2 players loading Real Quality Squads? Don't Mind If I Do.
 
crying vs Sabella - I thought crying was gonna pull a rotom 6-0 last week, but the lack of pain split was a bit of an overcook, if you ask me. Her techs seem to have been largely hitting though, and sitting at 4-3 after 7 weeks in this pool is pretty fucking good. Sabella brought sun for the first time post torn and he easily won that game via venusaur having a god mu. I think this will be a pretty close game with cool techs from both sides, slightly favoring crying due to a better tour record so far.

One Last Kiss vs frankjosh - I consider both of these players very solid in general, with frank of course having more experience in UU. That being said, the main reason I'm bolding frank here, is that I hope his good friend Reina will build a nice team for him to use (PLEASE Reina PLEASE). I expect OLK to use a Mimilucha team, so it should be another nice and close game.

etern vs JustFranco - These guys share the best record of 6-1 in the pool, so it's time for one of them to claim the top to himself. Etern won their last bout during UUPL, but that's just a piece of history. I like etern's teams more on average, but Franco's managed to make his own stuff work just as well, so I'm expecting a nailbiter, definitely the highlight game for this week's UUing.

zS vs pdt - I'm looking forward to another heater game from these 2. Momo is looking to solidify one of the best records of the tour, while pdt has to keep grinding it out, to hopefully help his team get to the finish line. I'm gonna respect Momo's recent success and predict him to take this, but no doubt it's gonna be a super close game, with hopefully some interesting techs revealed.

mind gaming vs LouisIX - Another couple of new faces here, as I previously forgot to mention for OLK vs frank. I was looking forward to seeing mind gaming uuing since this tour started, so it's nice to finally get to spectate that. He had a great run in UU open, and his teams were always very unique and interesting. Admittedly I was not familliar with LuisIX, but umbry said he "clears 90% of UUcord's chatters", so he's clearly good enough to show us a good game here. Mons is mons after all, and he'll show up with a good team. I'm favoring mind gaming here because of he's one of the best players in general, but I'm hoping to see a nice and close game.

P.S: The doubters have been proven wrong, the petrosdicts are still alive and on time. Eat that, suckers.
