Who will be the last to join SV’s select group of strongest ladder soldiers… and who will bite the dust?! Tune in this week to the Official Extension Ladder Tour!

Axzel vs bbeeaa - Bea how can you be one of the goat's if you can't make it to playoffs? Come on now let's go.
heileone vs Tace - I'm obligated to side with heileone here, both are strong sides but heileone doesn't seem like the type to get bested by a gliscor or cresselia in these settings.
vk vs SupaGmoney - Really, by now supa should have enough data on vk to understand how to beat him. He should also have learned from the L’s he took, cus some of them should have been W's. Let's see if he can best vk.
Storm Zone vs (Loser of Empo vs hellom) - Yoooo storm vs empo would be epic, but for story purposes, I'd rather have him not play empo YET. Let's have him duke it out with hellom first. I say if storm really wants that 3rd trophy he will come out on top vs hellom in a tough series. Otherwise empo advances.
zugubu royale vs Vincent727 - If they really wanted to end Swilytour.. last week was the moment. It can't possible stop here right?!
JustFranco vs Sanesa8724 - Man I wanted to bet on sanesa last week but I had hope for the french ( they let me down). But even if I spin this match upside down and sideways, I can't see franco losing here, I'd have preferred a different mu this guy doesn't even like SV.
 
Axzel vs bbeeaa - Idk
heileone vs Tace - Idk
vk vs SupaGmoney - Idk
Storm Zone vs (Loser of Empo vs hellom) - Idk
zugubu royale vs Vincent727 - It's funny how people outside Ontario are like oh let's check out Swily's series, pretty good, love the teams etc, when we will never know how many people she's killed, how many lives she's destroyed with her iron grip on Ontario's underworld, how many people she's silenced.
JustFranco vs Sanesa8724 - Idk
 
Haven't done predicts the last two weeks but I'm back for the finale of swiss.

Axzel vs bbeeaa 58-42
Both amazing players but bea hasn't been taking olt too seriously so I'm assuming axzel will take it because of that.

Heileone vs Tace 46-54
Both of these are amazing players and Heileone probably had the harder bracket but I don't. Feel like betting against tace. Don't sleep on either of them

vk vs SupaGmoney 45-55
Both of these are amazing players but supas gonna pull through I just have a feeling. Rooting for the general tho

Storm Zone vs (Loser of Empo vs hellom)
I think storms arrogance will be their downfall. I think storm can easily win but I think empo/hellom will have a godly scout and win every matchup on lead.

zugubu royale vs Vincent727 The Viewer
Zugubu has been the king of mickey mouse matches, and swilys game last week was ALSO a hilarious Mickey mouse ass game. Whatever happens I know it'll be hilarious. Prob even changes tho.

JustFranco vs Sanesa8724 65-35
Sanesas run has been strange to say the least. I think they will either sell for content, or just load absolute bull. Francos a lot more of a consistent player. I think sanesa won against players much more vulnerable to cheese but I don't think francos the same. We'll see though
 
my worst week right with only about 50% of my predicts right, sad. I feel off

2-2
Axzel vs bbeeaa
heileone vs Tace
vk vs SupaGmoney
Storm Zone vs (Loser of Empo vs hellom)
zugubu royale vs Vincent727
JustFranco vs Sanesa8724
 
2-2
Axzel vs bbeeaa: axzel is my underdog for this tour sorry bea
heileone vs Tace: helieone won’t go 0/3
vk vs SupaGmoney: I trust in the big stall.
Storm Zone vs (Loser of Empo vs hellom) doesn’t
Matter who goes through storm zone ain’t losing so whoever loses between empo and hellom will be eliminated from olt
zugubu royale vs Vincent727 it might be fries for Swily I have seen zugubu in every random tourney win post I check so they might win
JustFranco vs Sanesa8724 Franco best player on smogon ain’t losing

Storm Zone vs Empo - By far the most hyped matchup of this first playoff phase, I think. It’s heartbreaking, because both of them deserve to make it to the Top 16, but sadly, only one can qualify. It's relatively hard to say who will come out on top, and even though Storm seems to have the edge, I'm rooting for EMPOAT!
 
gendercast predicts

this is the last round of swiss and the remaining players have fought very hard to keep themselves in this tournament, with this as their last chance to qualify

2-2
Axzel vs bbeeaa (45-55)
- Both Axzel and bbeeaa are in x-2 for the first time and its a case where we were honestly expecting both of them to qualify for playoffs.
- Axzel is probably the better lucio player but that does not matter much here!
- bbeeaa had a messy series last week vs MinoGod with a crit freeze g1 that lost him the game and very strange endgame vs a salac rest manaphy in g2.
- That being said, going off of bbeeaa's word, he'll lock in when it matters.

heileone vs Tace (48-52)
- heileone started 2-0, beating Empo to make it there. He's been uncharacteristically unlucky these last rounds. He may be storing up the luck for this very moment.
- Tace got very lucky last round as the opponent decided to load some #AqHeat down 0-1.
- Leaning Tace here just because I think they really want to break their SV curse.

vk vs SupaGmoney (58-42)
- vk is currently 4-0 in SCL and is loading real teams that do not qualify as an archaeological exhibit.
- That being said it wouldn't be a crazy upset if SupaG won here. This is the only tournament he really plays each year and he definitely has that motivation to win here.

Storm Zone vs Empo (48-52)
- Kinda crazy that one of these players won't be qualifying for the next stage of this tournament.
- Storm Zone is looking to add a fourth effect on the top left corner of his screen this week and we support him in that :)
- Empo is owed about 3 ice beam freezes worth of luck from the last week of the tournament and that'll be the difference maker here

zugubu royale vs Vincent727 (46-54)
- I apologize to swily for not believing in her last week. That will not happening again.
- swily, as a big fan of grass types and steel types, is the natural predator of zugubu royale. I expect no serperiors in this series.
- Back against the wall, swily loaded a slither wing sun last week and matched up into water-resist raging bolt.

JustFranco vs Sanesa8724 (60-40)
- Are we really gonna let this guy qualify after bringing haunter while down in a series, twice???
- Franco is a fan of haunter-immune pokemon like garganacl, and ting lu, so we are favoring him.
- It's really about who wants it more.

OLT Swiss W5 Recap:

Biggest Upset: there was none this week! Biggest would probably be swily over zugu if I had to pick


Funniest Moment: moltres going LeBron and royally owning sanesa and staying in for around 40 turns, getting 3 kills and 2 burns before switching out.
Runner Up: empo destroying storm just to get crit last turn.

Worst Sets: sanesa brought unaware clef with lefties just to be destroyed by Moltres, and axzel brought taunt val which caused him to lose both of the games

Shitters List: tornadus incarnate, lilligant hisui, jugulis

Coolest Set: Franco sanesa
Funniest Set: Swily vs zugu
Most Haxxed Set: storm v empo

Dark Horse Runs: Swily

Stall team: zugu loaded stall into lorb ceru and woger, vk lost to supa on last turn crit lol

Players Qualified: swily, storm, Heileone, franco, bea, supa

Players Eliminated: empo, zugu, sanesa, tace, axzel, vk
