Got 3/4 RU right and 2/4 NU right, so I'm improving in my predicts slowly. Lots of shakeups this week so lets do this.

SV RU: lighthouses vs DugZa
Both won last match last week. Lighthouse ran a very boring specs yan team (boooo) while dug ran a somewhat basic team with SD drain punch gallade (yayyyy). If you can't tell, I'm leaning dug LOL. Being serious for a moment, I think this is honestly one of the hypest matches of this week, feel like theres a lot of potential cooking and outplay potential in this match.
SV RU: zS vs TheFranklin
Zs is in and robjr is out. I will not lie, I did not like the islanders team last week, felt a bit overcooked even if the ideas were good on there own. Frank dominated his game though against gary so I think he's got this in the bag. Zs is def a tough opponent and with slik supporting there wont be as easy meta knowledge checks for frank to abuse. Fun match.
SV RU: zugubu royale vs THE_CHUNGLER
Zugu has been using recycled teams, but they admittingly have been working LOL. Chungler loaded a not so great MU into gallade which I think left him too far behind to catch up even if he tried hard. Both seem to have loaded teams that look on the older side, but I'm leaning zugu here cause he's 2-0 but chung can def chungle it.
SV RU: xavgb vs Spitfire
Both have had rough starts but IDT either have been playing bad. Xav loaded a solid team last week that just didn't have the wallbreaking tools to beat stall, while Spitfire loaded a HO that got unluckily crit on the last turn to lose the game. I think I'm leaning xav though, I think better player but honestly, I think I've liked spitfires teams more and my confidence in xav is waning a bit so I think spitfire does have a chance.

SV NU: Shengineer vs Danny
Shen loaded a shiest team that kinda lost to bird+sylv+arc, while danny loaded a weirdish BO that pulled through. I'm leaning shen for this time, but SHEN FOR THE LOVE OF GOD LOAD A STEEL! I WILL TAKE ALOLAN DUGTRIO AT THIS POINT GOD DAMMIT.
SV NU: GeniusX vs Ruffles
Genius won against shen with a solid BO team, while Ruffles decided to cheese. (I will be referring to ruffles as the cheeser in the rest of this post, per last weeks predicts). I've liked genius's builds/plays a lot so I'm bolding him. I think the cheeser can definetely pull through, but genius should load something that does well into the cheeser's usual loads.
SV NU: big tony 2014 vs HAVOCKNIGHT
Double subs. Diamonds and elias were subbed out for big tony and havoc. It seems like they have decided to move things around to get some wins in NU. I think I'm trusting tony on this one. I think as long as he doesn't overcook (i know thats prob an impossible task but shhh), he should have this game. Havoc will do well with elias support, but I just trust tony to do better.
SV NU: Nat vs Shadow079
Well done shadow for going 2-0 so far! Now you can go 2-1 :D I think nat should win this but shadow is super commited to this tour so I bet he will cook something up that makes for an entertaining match.

You thought I wouldn't do predicts? Sorry, fat chance. While going undrafted did curb the motivation, I've got an urge to talk mad recklessly after a coworker pissed me off at work today. So, old rules apply. No hard feelings, if i dunk on your head i don't dislike you as a person, I just think your going to lose. Feel free to prove me wrong blah blah blah. These predicts are less about being serious and more about cracking jokes.

Hacker vs hjkhj
So far HJK is 2-0 Week 1 he basically won the first turn with a confusion proc on a crawdaunt. He tried farming helmet on entei and it aint work. Unecessary but fair, no negatives. Last week he curbstomped for reasons I'll be very rude about later, but suffice to say he's good. Hacker is stepping into a better tier after LC was fuckin him i guess. Idk I didn't watch LC games because I value my fucking time. Free Monotype :joy:
Regardless, Hacker is a good player, though HJK is a demon. As long as he doesn't make the mistakes of gary and listen to the french inquisition telling him boots comfey is a good pokemon hacker'll put up a good fight. Though, with heatranator stowing back his crack addiction, so long as he doesn't Fake out an Inner Focus Entei I'm sure he'll be fine. Hacker if you load some shit that loses to fat or generic HO slop I'm breaking ur fuckin neck. GL to both I like both these guys.

lighthouses vs DugZa
Two players I'm very high on and two players I'd almost always bold individually, but unfortunately I'm leaning for diogoat here. 2-0 for starters vs Dugza's 1-1. After lighthouses actually put the hands on gary with boomburst bug buzz flygon and it took all 6 kills despite me talkin shit on it, I've giving full reign. Apparently diogo has been building all his teams and feliburn has been trying to make sp def breloom with his life on the line, but I trust their end results toute suite. DugZa i also trust his loads. Last week vs Chungie he loaded an SD Drain Gallade, which is some BW shit I ain't ever expect to see here, but it did cook. This is a highlight mu assuming they don't load LAME and load some HO. Please. A crispy BO mirror will be an all timer.

zS vs TheFranklin
Robjr out, zS in. Rob had a weird run. Week 2 he loaded Espeon Chandelure and the chandelure was leftovers but also fire blast so idrk. I'd say this is the worst mon we've seen this RUPL but I haven't gotten to the breakers yet so. I liked the team and then I saw AV Krookodile and lost all joy. Game 1 his team was way better looking, but also he was quite literally losing all game. Tough stuff. zS is a homeboy though, but you won't catch me betting against Franklin I'm not stupid lmao. Last week Franklin put the hands on gary, but I'm not moved. Not moved because by turn 11 the sun was gone for the entire game on a sun team because gary decided by turn 5 ninetales wasn't cool or something. By all accounts frank should be 2-0 if he didn't get the turn 1 misfortune against hjk. By all means I expect him to clutch up here and dominate the pool a 2nd year in a row.

zugubu royale vs THE_CHUNGLER
Now remember when I said I was going to talk recklessly? Yeah this is where that starts. Zugu, getting drafted off the backend of winning a tour he shoulda lost in the top 8 if god wasn't sitting under his desk unzipping the belt, has a 2-0 performance consisting of a timeout on turn 11 and lucking my goat spitfire into oblivion with a last turn crit. Not moved. I am satisfied with his loads, and zugu isn't a bad player or anything I vouched for him after all, but I think a real discussion needs to be had about the value of slam in these PRs cuz zugu 5th over diogo off of literally nothin but slam was wild stuff lmao.

As for Big mr Chungies, he's good. Big sleeper pick in this tournament, after beating the FUCK out of rob he moved to losing to DugZa. Idk what happened, watching 30+ turns of wo-chien fighting for its life isn't exactly my idea of entertainment but I trust that he put a good fight! I like his loads alot, I trust him to win so long as god doesn't intervene as fuckin usual.

xavgb vs Spitfire
And here is where my takes go from hot to fucking mean. Bombirdier. Fucking Bombirdier. Man I remember shitting on Kushalos for cacturne and somehow we've fallen even further down the pecking order. Who's next on the E- tier adventures? Is it Greedent? It might be. Stresh, after loading complete unfettered dogshit week 1 (by the way it really funny seeing heatranator say Bombirdier puts in work against Alolan Ninetales Toxtricity snow and seeing it die turn 3 to Crawdaunt. poetic stuff) he turned around and was faced up with HJK. After losing week 1 to a shameful turn 11 timeout on a game he would've lost anyways because he loaded bombirdier. Back against the wall to justify the 33k (33000) spent, what does he do into famed obese loader HJKHJ?

Man being the shoguns must be fucking amazing. You open team preview with hope. You load a team gored so badly by Taunt Krookodile that the replay would belong on liveleak instead, and then you watch in amazement as your Deoxys-Defense knocks off a fucking Choice scarf. Because I too put rocks on my registeel for the express privilege of scarfing my fucking Krookodile. Scarf Krookodile, who hits about as hard as my 6 year old niece with her fucking teddy bear. Naw naw naw, specs Gardevoir was what was great. Into the cheese guy who loads honesty about as often as my dementiac grandmother remembers what she had for breakfast that morning. Why make the weather mu free with 1 easy step when you can snort lines of cocaine in the builder oh that just sounds WONDERFUL. It's funny too. Well played Specs Gardevoir coulda been crazy. If only it was actually well played.

I love you breakers. Teaming w yall last year was the greatest shit ever. Please, please step in and intervene on these loads. I want ya'll to win. More than the others.

Oh and Spitfire is cool ig. My goat managed to make regieleki not look like garbage. Only ABR can do that. Big ups.
 
SV DOU: DubiousBulb1033 vs KCric
kcric 2-0 now, which a little astonished me. it proved that kcric have ability to adjust scl and do well! dub also good but kcric more strong imo.

SV DOU: bagel vs qsns highlight
us central war. 1-1 vs 2-0. bagel active in svdou for a very very very long time and he had gotten 2nd in ssnl recently. qsns seems old but his results tell me we cant undervalue qsns. and qsns always carry some cool sets(scl 2023 kommo man) and surprise me. so i predict qsns win.

SV DOU: Xrn vs EternalSnowman
esm cool dnu mon help him won last w. and xrn won the last 2 weeks by his great skills, i assumed that it is a skill vs cool sets battle. maybe xrn has a prediction vs cool dnu mons so i predict xrn win.

SV DOU: zee vs eragon
eragon be careful about u sets. dont play 0 atk move sini again :haha: . imo i cant believe one of zee/eragon will get 0-3. it is a honor battle with them. hard to chose so i rolled.

SV DOU: Ann vs Nails
ann vs nails is an interesting game maybe. nails also played some cool sets in tournaments. im a fun for these cool sets so i guess he will win. however ann is still a big star, having high opportunity to win undoubtedly.
