gendercast predicts we are aiming for 16/16 this week. everything we say here is based on truth and nothing but the truth.
2-0
NoName6293 vs SupaGmoney (55-45)
- NoName is starting OU in SCL now and 2-0 here, beating Sanesa and Rumble, bringing good teams and playing pretty well.
- SupaG had a good win last week vs Baddy last week. He looks locked in and like he wants to make a name for himself past the swiss stage.
- Leaning NoName I think he has better fundies.
JJ09LIE vs
hellom (47-53)
- hellom beat down Skarph last week, bringing the only gliscor in the set. Very shocking!
- JJ's brings are pretty standard outside of some non-standard abilities on some pokemon (check the pastes before you load bro).
- It's close, but we think hellom's brings will give him more of an advantage.
Ewin vs Axzel (51-49)
- There will be 6 zamazentas and at least 4 pecharunts in this three game series.
- "The most boring matchup of all time." - sire clod
- It was really hard to choose someone to favor here but we landed on Ewin
heileone vs Welli0u (56-44)
- heileone is coming off of beating empo last week (clod says "I told you so"), smoking both him and Smogon Grand Slam winner zugubu to make it here. he seems pretty locked in and ready for the single elim stage.
- Welli0u beat Tace and Pkel in pretty clean wins, he's definitely proven himself at this point.
- I think both of these players have a good chance at winning the whole tour but we're leaning towards heileone after his dominating win vs Empo.
1-1
Skarpherim vs
Let's Rumble Shall We (47-53)
- Skarph didn't look great vs hellom last week but we think he'll bounce back.
- Rumble's brings have trended more standard this year which leads us to believe he doesn't want to make the same mistakes as last year.
- Another close one, will be cool to watch.
Tace vs Baddy (60-40)
- Tace is a strong player and we think better than Baddy at SV. His brings have been pretty solid in comparison too.
- Baddy's prep round 2 vs SupaG wasn't as good as his round 1 vs bbeeaa, he'll need to find something better to land on this week to give himself a good chance here.
bbeeaa vs Vincent727 (65-35)
- Both of these two are likely to bring some weird teams and run into bad matchups, but we think bbeeaa's more likely to outplay his way out of said bad matchup
- Swily hasn't brought a slither wing yet, is she washed?
- Another fun mu to watch.
Dragonite4242 vs Stareal (55-45)
- Dnite brings way cooler shit than Stareal and I think he'll have better prep going into the game.
- Stareal's brings are all pretty standard.
- We are assuming last resort Dragapult will not be brought by Dnite again.
Empo vs Fabriisse (91-9)
- Power outage, natural disaster, etc.
- Likely will depend on the strength of Empo's internet connection.
MinoGod54 vs sire clod (82-18)
- The dark horse will ride into the sunset.
Pkel SweeTforU vs
Storm Zone (40-60)
- Pkel is 1-1 after losing to Welli0u round 1 and beating Memphis last week.
- Both of these players build their own teams with their own distinct style which will be on display here.
- We're leaning Storm Zone, who we believe will have better prep here.
vk vs Sanesa8724 (85-15)
- Pretty impossible to pick against vk here
- Will be close! A narrow 2-0!
0-2
qways vs
zugubu royale (49-51)
- Both of them are looking to bounce back after their 2 losses.
- Zugu is certainly looking for another chance to bring a serperior here (please look at the attached screenshot).
- We're bolding zugubu here but we do think that qways powerscales higher than
diddlydoo245, so it might be close! #whoremembers
MemphisDepay vs
LB (40-60)
- Memphis really wants the win here and we're excited to see how hard he tries in his prep.
- I really don't see LB losing this, he has more experience at this level and he's too tryhard to let himself go 0-3.
JojoOui vs
Giannis Antetokommo-o (40-60)
- Game was played but it was close tho!
JustFranco vs Dasmer (70-30)
- Franco is too good to go out 0-3 and we're expecting him to bounce back and qualify for the single elim stage from this position.
- Franco's been doing pretty well in SCL, currently 2-0. Even though that's in UU we think that it shows hes still in form.
- Dasmer might
