I hear Feliburn loves doing test games!! What a nice guy!!!
 
Double comeback is real and now it's time to win, GOOOOOOOO SHARKS
Pure Power Prizefighters (3) vs Bibliotheca Blazes (1)
SV: Ampha vs Cow > Ngl, Ampha cooked hard last week. The plays were very nice. He knew he had to make some plays to win this one and he did it. He is also 3-0. Cow subbed out last week so I can't comment too much on that. I also liked the Ampha team it felt nice. I imagine the team Msousa brought was the prep for Cow, untfortunatly they faced a Suicune. It's def a game to watch but I think Ampha has the meta knowledge and crazy momentum.
SV: Shadow079 vs Stories > Both are coming in fresh from the bench after DKM being subbed out and Blazes trying to find the optimal SV. I may be a little biased but after what Shadow showed in RBTT I think he has what it takes to win here. Stories is not to be underestimated tho and she's clearly competent at mons and knows her stuff. It will prob come down to prep.
SV: xcx vs Kjay500% > Ok this one might sound crazy but I feel like NC has a playstyle that destroys Gum's usuall teams. Gum tried to change it with sticky last week which was a good idea but didn't work out. Nc brought Leafeon sun and cooked. I think Gum is a better player in terms of pure skill but will face one of those MU where he might lose quickly due to the sheer breaking power of NC's teams.
SV: etern vs JuninxZ9 > Etern being 1-2 is definitely a suprise. I don't think etern needs to play webs to win and outplaying everytime is possible for someone like him. I'm not familiar at all with his opponent so will also give it to him by that fact. I am curious on what JuninxZ9 could propose!

Solid Rock Wreckers (4) vs Leaf Guard Dancers (0)
SV: hjkhj vs Soul King0 > hjkhj had a bad MU last week and somehow did hjkhj things and won which is crazy and derserves respect. Soul King0 suffered their first losse last week. I don't think it was a play issue more than a team issue with having no real counterplay to Gastrodon. I'm still on the Soul King0 hype train but yeah it's hjkhj, they're 3-0. Yeah... (Game of the week)
SV: Txunt! vs Sabella > Txunt! unfortunatly brought cheese last week which disapoints me a lot as his father. I think the MU was pretty rough for him tbf but setting up with tera ground cetitan vs the mag under veil was the play (I crit so didn't matter but the idea was that). Sabella I think underutilized his Snorlax (notably switching out vs Talon when you have facade). I think that Txunt still has the 2-1 momentum while the 0-3 from Sab prob put his moral down at least a little bit.
SV: MachJacob vs Miyoko > MJ loaded the utilimate cheese (sun when you aren't NC) and lost a 50/50 to lose the game. He did get outplayed a bitbut I'm confident in the 2-2 bounce back. Miyoko had a great start vs Joel and then fumbled the mid game. I think MJ's exp and play is better in RU + the prep should be better
SV: Guille vs hi.naming is hard > Ok yes I predict the 4-0 sweep from Wreckers BUT if there's a game that's close it's this one. I really am impressed by gewwge's plays and he got a clean 6-0 last week so +1000 style points. I think he established himself a one of the most valuable SV4 this tour. Problem is that Wreckers shuffled and put Guille in and yeah I still remember 2024 Guille farming nearly everyone in this tier. It's been a while but Guille has done well in BW and with the team support I believe he got what it takes to shine here as well.

Deranged Hustlers () vs Masters of Disguise ()
SV: Cielau vs Ming549 > Ok so both these guys won last week with some good prep and one mon in particular going crazy: Gastro for Ming and Goodra-H for Cielau. I also loved the Gard set from Ming and I think it's really cool to see innovation on Gard this whole tour. I think this game is close to 50/50 but I want to go with the Ming pick and belive he put himself back in form. Cielau has been playing well so I think that he has a really good shot at winning as well. Gl to both and one of the cooler games this week.
SV: Quinn vs feen > I was in the Quinn train after the first week but it has fallen down a bit. The team against NC wasn't the best vs Sun which was a real serious option you need to consider vs them. Feen did a solid game last week despite that the future sight count bugged. I will go with feen being the more proven player in RU.
SV: seed vs JoelXLeaf > As rewatching the games to make these predicts I realized that eifo was prob busy and couldn't play this week (and no Hoops tho prob due to his personnal choice). Now that I said that seed got PZ'ed which is one the worst feelings possible in RU. Maybe keeping the AV Mag healthy was an option but yeah rough. Joel brought stall which is cheese twice in row damn. He did play well tbf to him. I still think the skill gap is there so yeah bolding seed.
SV: DripLegend vs Heni-san >Drip brought the canard hail with a Mew over Craw which is an interesting change and then did Suicune things. Heni got 6-0ed for their debute which is rough but I like the idea of giving them a second chance. Drip is more proven so bolding them.
