All-Star Hoopers :Hoopa: vs Time Travelers :Celebi:
Gen 9 Random Battle (Bo5): pokeblade101 vs Separation > Poor Blade got sad matchups vs Ref which gave him no chance in that series but he genuinely played well (watch g3, or don't if you feel bad for him). Separation is 4-0 but can he defeat his former manager?
Gen 9 Random Battle: Adelynn vs aim > Joey is a famous Youtuber. Joey is recording all his matches in Rbtt so he can publish videos for his channel. All of Joey's sets have gone to 3 so far. Mmh...
james-doakes-james-doakes-sus-face.gif
Gen 6 Random Battle: NoName6293 vs Tom Bus > everybody in tiers considers NoName as one of the most promising young players out there and he is doing well in rands too (hopefully he joins more events other than Rbtt and Wcor). Plop's season is going ok given the tough opponents he has played. It's also a generational clash so those are always fun to spectate
Gen 4 Random Battle: Wigglytuff vs O1V7O2X9O > I still rate Wiggly despite the not so positive season he is having. Steven is aiming to top the Gen 4 pool for the second year in a row and a win here will guarantee him a positive record for the third time in as many editions of Rbtt that he joined
Gen 9 Random Doubles: breakfast enjoyer vs srvoltmike > it's randdubs but between two DOU mainers. Mike is 2-1 and I saw him play very well vs Jake so maybe this means he has finally adapted to randdubs? Breakfast is struggling but he has the talent and I know he has been training in randdubs too. Maybe this is his time to shine?
Gen 9 BSS Factory: yone vs IcyPenguin2 > highlight match because I am sure that icy, who candidly admitted he is not playing at his best level, will be highly motivated to take on the one guy he couldn't battle last year and towards whom he has ton of respect. Hype!

Relic Song Royals :Meloetta: vs Dark Moon Lunalas :Lunala:
Gen 4 Random Battle: Casual dot exe vs Click>Think > aka CDE vs CDT. I consider Casual a a very talented but unreliable player, while Click is definitely more consistent but maybe without the same peaks of his opponent. Two different profiles facing each other in the "madhouse": let's see who comes out on top
Gen 2 Random Battle: Shadows4 vs Stories > I am quite surprised to see both of them in Gen 2 but it makes sense since Shadows is not doing too fancy in 4 and he doesn't mind 2, while the classic shuffle Amaranth does with his teams led us to see Stories here. Both are very peculiar personalities and Gen 2 could bring the best in them or... the worst
Gen 1 Random Battle: royzin vs YBW > battle number 38390527585 between these two or something like that. Opposite records and results last week for these players, so I guess Roy could really build some momentum with a win
Gen 9 Random Doubles: TheHorrorHare vs jackofspadesman > Hare's debut in Rbtt is so cool to see... but it's against his fellow ttar Jake :(
I don't know if they ever played on the ladder but this should be a fun one which I must spectate
Gen 9 BSS Factory: temp vs Amaranth > similarly to the Gen 2 series, I would have not expected these two to play BSSF this year but here we are. Temp is 2-0 and beat Luisin and icy, while Amaranth "unwashed" last week to get the first win of his season. It's a nice match to spectate to see if two non mainers approach the tier in a very different different way from those who are used to it
Gen 9 Hackmons Cup: aerobee vs Ivar57 > Ivar's matches in HC often end up being entertaining. Aerobee is having a fine debut in Rbtt but I admit I haven't really seen much of them, so this could be a perfect opportunity to start doing that (this got played before I could finish the post)

Diamond Storms :Diancie-Mega: vs Mecha Magearnas :Magearna:
Gen 9 Random Battle: Drifting vs Let's Rumble Shall We > both are 3-1, with Drifting being undefeated in Gen 9 (despite the odds?) and Inertial showing all the good things we saw from him in tiers and in Wcor. Winner gets a guaranteed positive record in this edition
Gen 8 Random Battle: teresbahji vs Aquaa > it feels like 2020 but it's actually 2026. For those who might have come here in recent times, both players were often on top of the Gen 8 ladder but Aqua returns to play the format after a long time and Teres is playing this on a broken phone so I don't know what to expect lol
Gen 5 Random Battle: TheFranklin vs Spitfire > for the reputation of both players and for what they have showed in rands across the years, this might be the best series in Gen 5 on paper. Also, Spitfire namechange :o
Gen 2 Random Battle: Stallion vs Mikon > I still expect Mikon to top this pool but her opponent this week is someone who always performed amazingly in Wcor. His season has not been bad but this is definitely the toughest opponent yet
Gen 1 Random Battle: Maris Bonibell vs Lady Writer > before the start of the tournament, I would have expect both players to finish positive. Now... I still do, which is why I think this will be a pretty good series between two talented RBYers
The two doubles sets > Sapphire vs USN and ionnss vs snorlax142857 are matchups you don't want to miss because of past history between these 4. And when some players know each other, it's inevitable to have frequent mindgames
Gen 9 Hackmons Cup: Nudepantsman vs BoRida > NPM was disappointed to not see any highlighted HC match last week so now I have to make amends by putting the spotlight on the battle of the two players with a 3-1 record. Boris has taken HC by storm, which makes sense since his AWFUL nicknames seem perfect for the wackiness of this format. I am sure NPM has studied his opponent to try and find any tendencies in his playstyle so I am eager to spectate :p

Flame Body Faction :heatran: vs Pyrite Phantoms :Marshadow:

The trio of Gen 9 sets > Michielleus vs Referrals, JJ09LIE vs paysa and Star Wheel vs Paycard are all sets between great players who know Gen 9 like their pockets. However, here is a mandatory note of disapproval for not giving us Paysa vs SW smh
Gen 5 Random Battle: Gom vs Luchik > as I said for Amaranth vs Temp, l wasn't exactly expecting these two in Gen 5 but sure, why not? I think Gom is way better than their records in Rbtt suggest so this could be the moment for their rise. Luchi is historically super solid in Rbtt so I expect an even series
Gen 4 Random Battle: mdill97 vs Damm u captcha > this has the potential to be the most chaotic series ever! They faced each other in Rbel and multiple times on the ladder. Mdill had a solid debut last week and he is technically the only undefeated player in the history of Rbtt and Wcor (source: JustOut459). Duc is chaos personified but I think he is less of a "terrorist" in the way he plays in comparison to the past. Should be fun :p
Gen 3 Random Battle: anankaios vs MasterJ007 > Master played well against Drifttrick despite the tough matchups so I'd say he is showing he belongs to this pool. After a rocky start (and tough opponents), anankaios is on a two game win streak. Battle of the brits, battle between the "old" vs the "new" guard
Gen 1 Random Battle: Kingslayer Caterpie vs virae > real brazilian vs fake brazilian
The two doubles sets > marcofiero vs soTsoT is the battle between a VGC player who entered the randbats scene vs a randbats player who entered the VGC series. In comparison to last year, soT has become a true ladder demon and he is doing better and better in VGC. I am curious to see if he'll manage to get his revenge against Marco. Freya is one of the two undefeated randdubs players left and he is confirming the good results from last year in Rbtt and Circuit. Dinis has adapted seamlessly to Rbtt and he has discovered the magic of the damage calc, so we are in for a treat
