Welcome to Smogon! Take a moment to read the Introduction to Smogon for a run-down on everything Smogon, and make sure you take some time to read the global rules.
Tatsutonys (2) vs (1) Searing Slugmas
SV PU: MZ vs MichaelderBeste2 - I was correct in bolding MZ last week and tbh he's always brought really interesting stuff whenever I watch him play SVPU. This is not really me doubting Michael but rather me glazing MZ for seemingly being usually one step ahead of the meta (assuming he's the one building his teams). MZ is no slouch as a player either obviously, but when both players are pretty even in my eyes I gotta evaluate something else.
SM PU: Thiago Nunes vs Drud - Drud is kinda him in PU right now, I was pretty surprised to see he lost last week then I opened the replay and was surprised to see him bring that team. Kingler claimed in PU cord he got lucked last week (I didn't look at the conversation that deeply so I could be misinterpreting) but I don't think any luck occurred, the team just looked pretty not good/fishy. I think Drud will stick to what he knows and correct his mistake from last week. Thiago is still a strong opponent for sure, but he's only got 4 games in this season in a tier he's not always up to date with. While Drud has 6 wins this season and has had more time to hone his SM.
ADV PU: evakiyama! vs Leni - My predict last week was a meme obviously I just didn't know who to pick between Django and Leni. I think Leni is pretty decent in general. Here though I think I'll again give it to his opponent SORRY. Like I said before Eva has been performing really well everywhere and this tour is no exception. I haven't seen Leni play ADV / he hasn't played it this tour so I have no reason to bold against Eva. ADV moment is likely to happen however as this tier is kinda fish central #fishies
