GO GIBLES :GIBLE:

Heatranator · Oct 12, 2026

3/4 for RU and 1/4 for NU. Guess I reversed my predicts! (ignore if you saw me post it early cause nuh uh)

SV RU: Hacker vs zugubu royale
Hacker brought an interesting balance team that just couldn't really progress much against dugs team, but IDT was too bad of a team. Zugubu brought a team which couldn't really progress past hjks core and once migo was forced to tera to OHKO vern, scarf krook became dangerous. This is why we don't use scarf migo btw, we lose to scarf krook. Now, zugubu can win this if he doesn't commit the cardinal sin of running scarf migo :-)
SV RU: crying vs lighthouses
Yeah look, crying loaded something. When bramble, lucario and azelf are on the same team, you know its fucking cooked. Despite that, CB bramble and AV?(I was told it was this which if it is that then just fucking spin a wheel atp to guess the set) Lucario did put on some pressure, but it was vapo vs suicune MU which lol, you are never are winning that as the suicune user. Lighthouse subbed out for regiboob, but he got a pretty annoying MU against reun+suicune. I think even if boob was here, he would win. Gibles IDT will let crying get away with BS at all.
SV RU: THE_CHUNGLER vs TheFranklin
Chungler loaded a good balance team with trick barb reun and sub 2A suicune, which did pretty well against boobs team. Franklin loaded no u-turn rachi vs garde+mag team, which yeah thats about as gg's as you could get, with cb bike and torn rubbing it in. There was no progress making to be made too with technician loom facing geezing so rip. I know that franklin is best of the pool, but he's had an off season this year and chung has been doing well. Not an easy mu for chung mind you, but one that I think he wins.
SV RU: DugZa vs robjr
Dug heard people calling spitfires team "a ladder team" from the week before and decided from there that he would larp that (he brought a forretress). Jokes aside, he got a great MU into a balance team that couldn't really progress against his amuk+gastro. Rob brought a pretty standard balance team that had a few cool techs that kinda trounced cryings bs once bramble got low/burned. I'm leaning dug here, but rob has been doing well so a close match.

SV NU: Esteb4n vs big tony 2014
Esteb4n used an intelcroak team that couldn't progress past double dance keys once inteleon went down from a tera grass grass knot munki. Unfortunate but sometimes thats how MU's go. Tony loaded crack as expected which included sub p2 and custap poliwrath on webs (why bruh). I'm leaning tony here though, I think he will load something that will beat the more normal stuff esteb4n has been loading.
SV NU: Nat vs Shengineer
Nat as predicted won, with heracross+double dance gligar able to win pretty decisively. Shen loaded a shaymin team that didn't have a lot of immediate breaking power ngl, and thus couldn't really break past espeon who para'd everything. I'm leaning nat here, shen unfortunately wasn't able to do a repeat of last SCL, and nat is doing incredible.
SV NU: HAVOCKNIGHT vs Ruffles
Havoc ran a regice double removal team which lol, it did work so no complaints. Brick loaded a HO team that was interesting, with rhyperior and heattom on it which is not usually the case. Even with ruffles back, I think havoc should win this, dynamos NU hasn't been horrible, but I think havoc is much more consistent.
SV NU: Danny vs GeniusX
Danny loaded cramorant (booo) and gknot munki (wooo), which alongside double dance keys, was able to win. Genius loaded a team that honestly, didn't feel bulky enough for chansey to work while having everything else that was very fast. Kinda a bit of a mish mash of momentum ngl. I think genius has a good chance, but danny is prob winning if I had to guess. Tuthur is never leaving bench it seems.

LBN pick wisely.........

LBN · Oct 12, 2026

I think.. that's 3/20. I'm moving like an etsy witch bro, let's keep hexxing people. Disclaimer again: I'm no psychic, I don't know what truly goes in these team cords. Most of my vulgarity is for comedy, above all else.

Hacker vs zugubu royale
Last week didn't go so well for Hacker. Gastrodon kinda just ran a clinic on him, and throwing Torterra hard into a knock instead of waiting is probably why he lost that game. DugZa's team had no priority scarfer = flygon idk why we chucked Tort hard in. Beyond that, Zugu got their first loss this tournament the week i bolded him. Yeah I'm going to bold him again because I'm a hater. That said, last week was quite a horrid MU. Loaded balance into like 3 balance killers and a scarf krook for good measure. It's like bringing a baby into a room full of pitbulls. Shit got just mauled. That said, I do think zugu probably wins again, unironically. He's gonna load Brambleghast Tailwind and get like 5 kills. Speaking of Brambleghast..

crying vs lighthouses

...
...
The whole point of a team tour is working together and what not. Crying will actively refuse to do so, and I say this with full confidence because if ANYBODY with an IQ higher than their own shoe-size saw:

Assault Vest(?) Mixed Drain Punch Lucario
Scarf Trick Azelf in the tier with Jirachi
Fairy Resist Suicune
Flying Resist Wind Rider Brambleghast

It would be vetoed. Instantly. I don't know what blackmail power crying has to be fielded after loading this and being 1-4 when Thiago Nunes is on the bench, but it must some be really crazy shit. I have to apologize to stresh and Spitfire. Bombirdier and slower than Mew Cyclizar are no longer the worst things loaded this SCL.
Stresh, for all his results being disappointing for 33k, I at least felt some kinda vision with the loads and he did get robbed by a crit one of those games. No matter how ass Bombirdier was, it's genuinely better than this. The team vs HJK is very fine in isolation, but shouldn't have been loaded into HJK. It happen, I get it. He's better than this record, and I don't discount his effort.

I expected some nonsense from crying, I did. It's fucking crying. But there is a VERY fine line between bullshit, and dogshit. And crying peered so far into the valley of dogshit it may as well be called a fucking litterbox. You were 1-4 and turned to Drain Punch Lucario. Wild how I said after stresh loaded Bombirdier into Scarf Krook on HJK to intervene on the loads, and then they slotted in the one player who makes intervening on the loads for fucking miserable.

I'm not even going to cover what the gibles loaded last week. I don't think it fuckin' matters. Crying's resume is amazing, I get it. I don't even have close to the resume crying has in tours. But there has to be a limit, seriously. I want the breakers to win so bad, and thankfully every other slot besides RU (and ig PU but MZ has been gettin' hoed beyond his control) has been cooking. Cmon yall. Take it home.

hjkhj vs Spitfire

I gotchu homie.

THE_CHUNGLER vs TheFranklin
Chungler last week fought a nasty load. Cress&Suicune double CM terrorism. However, he had emergency perogative Trickybarb Reuniclus, and it saved his hide. In his own words, "If I stickybarb one of Cress or Suicune, I'll win. If I don't.. I probably lose!" And that's correct. Team itself was nice, Duskroc is a really underrated mon imo and same with Reuniclus. GWeez has already been loaded a good amount of times this tour and I suspect this will continue. Thank you, OU. For giving us removal worth a damn.

On the flipside, Franklin being 2-4 was not on my predicts at all. Admittedly, last week he fought possibly my favorite load in the whole tournament last week in CB Bike Zone BO. Spitfire on a redemption arc of clipping Diogo into Franklin is a crazy pull, by the way. Franklin honestly had a nasty matchup, though. Jirachi w no U turn into Zone is rough. Jirachi got caught slipping very quickly, and the result of it was Cyclizar going on a tear. Basically unwinnable for franklin unless Spitfire shot himself in the leg and had to leave the game. Add that to the 2nd game Franklin lost for wack reasons. That said, big Mr Chunglies is tied the 2nd best man in the pool. Hard not to vote for him.

DugZa vs robjr
Heatrantor said some shit about DugZa's team being a ladder special, and I can't say I agree, forre be damned. Team was pretty solid, all told. Some mus look dicey like Kleavor but really this tier you gotta make the boss call to be "good enough" into some guys, and DugZa's been doing that all season. Most the time he's been right. Tied for 2nd in the pool is good stuff. Can't lie, i legit fogot what rob loaded. Was too busy taking a generational shit on whatever the fuck crying loaded to pay attention! First Lucario load with real stakes for the first time in like two fucking years and its clicking Drain Punch.

I'm getting side-tracked. Back to rob. Rob is actually 4th in the pool with a 3-2 record, which I lowkey didn't even notice till typing this. I actually liked rob's team last week, even if I'm not big on Vaporeon. Taunt Gligar is a fantastic shot with GWeez down here now, and the train of Thunder Registeels is continuing. I love to see it. Still, bolding against DugZa is hard to justify. No matter how many troll nicks of his send slander my way.
