Had my worse record so far with 14/32 last week, s/o miniors mu in which I only got 1 right
Littleroot Lotads (4) vs Sunyshore Surskits (4)
USUM: double switches vs
Eien - please
USUM: Shiba vs
Feliburn - has a better record so far ig, but they have similar experience levels so it should be a fun one
USUM:
col49 vs Decem - col dealt with Harpp comfortably, he should easily outplay Decem if he gets a matchup that doesn't require too much meta knowledge
USUM: Charmflash vs
Bouff - I swear Charmflash uses like 3-4 teams since last MPL, and Eien was involved in the building of those (I think) so Bouff should get a good mu
ORAS:
Ridley vs Eternally - rozes vs Eternally could've been fun here instead, Ridley gets the edge even tho he lost to maroon last week
ORAS: Ashaury vs
Corporal Levi - Apparently Ashaury's team from last week was literally made in like 2013-2014?
BW:
Insult vs trace - Insult has been doing pretty well in BW so far, while trace has been having a bad tour
BO3:
Zukushiku vs Raichy - I need to see a Zuku win omg, definitely the more experience of the 2 in all 3 gens
Wish we got zuku vs eien for a HL match that will also finally give 1 of them a win. Some kinda cool pairings nonetheless
most interesting game: Zukushiku vs Raichy
I'm a biased fan
----------
Cherrygrove Cherubis (3) vs
Cinnabar Charizards (5)
USUM:
Wincon vs martha - Wincon ruined the 8-0 for his team last week and got his first loss of the tour, but can't really bet against him here
USUM: DugZa vs
Vodoom - Vodoom sure likes complaining about how his teammates performance, so let's see if he can put his money where his mouth is
USUM: Brisked vs
Alpha Rabbit - both 2-2, but will edge Rabbit over "I should be 3-2" Brisked because he's a better pokemon player in general
USUM: banks vs
Harpp - the usual edge because of experience+past performances, but if you lose without major hax say gg this time. Also notice how far he is from Wincon who is always slot 1
ORAS:
Arifeen vs Izaya - Battle between Asia's ORAS options during Mono WC, bolding feen so that Izaya wins
ORAS:
Vid vs maroon - Vid is the better player and hasn't lost in ORAS during the tour so far, except maybe in the bo3
BW: Jyph vs
North - North's had a very good tour so far, this one is gonna be really fun
BO3: Cam vs
Trichotomy - Better player
The Cherubis surprised us last week with a huge win over the then 1st place team, so can't count them out. Will be interesting to see what both sides pull out as this week is crucial for both of them.
most interesting game: Jyph vs North
Same as usual, two of the best in the tier.
------
Goldenrod Gengars (6) vs Two Island Tapus(2)
USUM: Toadow vs
Pak - Toadow played decently despite an unwinnable mu last week, but Pak has been super dominant so far
USUM:
ArkenCiel vs MetaRiolu7 - Despite his records, I think Arken is the better player and hope he finally gets a win
USUM:
dahli vs LuckyPiper - peachy has been talking a lot lately, hopefully this isn't where he gets snatched up after once again avoiding his fellow x-0 player
USUM:
London13 vs trash - trash completely threw his game last week which caused his team to tie.
ORAS: Dak Prescott vs
Cell - while Cell has been slipping up a lot, haven't seen personally much of Dak in ORAS, so will give him the benefit of the doubt
ORAS:
Megazard vs Catalystic - Cata is coming back from a bad start, winning a pretty awful mu last week but I feel like Megazard has the edge in ORAS
BW:
KuraiTenshi26 vs dcae - He has been doing better
BO3:
Feitan the steam vs FLCL - Feitan is super fire oml
Gengars are coming in with what some people are calling the "B-team" as half the starters are not present, however I think this line-up is still pretty competent. Tho, I think a lot of my predictions could go the complete opposite way.
most interesting game: Feitan vs FLCL
Both good players, and when there isnt anything particularly exciting Bo3 usually gets the edge.
-----
Hearthome Honchkrows (4) vs Meteor Falls Miniors (4)
USUM: TheArchitect_ vs
Twilight Solace - cringe win speech in battle chat vs controversial winpost. Abby hasn't lost yet so think he can do it
USUM:
Clearly vs Xiri - It looks like his hiatus really did him some good as the Clearly curse has not shown it's face so far. With him basically being guaranteed to play in his first playoffs, I think he'll be even more motivated to win.
USUM:
Star vs MJ - Better player, tho MJ had a great win last week to not only end Wincon's streak but to save his team from the embarrassing 8-0
USUM:
Bitana vs Real FV13 - Again, better monotype player on paper
ORAS: Jase The World vs
Paleo - Assuming he shows up to the game, should be interesting. Picking Paleo because he's been coming back from his rut and from what I hear Attribute is really familiar with Honchkrows ORAS prep
ORAS: Crashy vs
Alkione - Better player
BW: Sabella vs
Freeroamer - DM pretty much always gets picked over whoever he faces in BW, tho this should be another really interesting game because Sabella is strong in the gen as well.
BO3:
1 True Lycan vs Attribute - Lycan gets the edge because of his more successful performance across the gens. However, this will probably come down to better prep as Attribute is definitely a good player (just don't bring Heatran less steel in BW) Also, Attribute can easily gain the psychological advantage by constantly calling Lycan washed.
most interesting game: 1 True Lycan vs Attribute
Both players didn't start the tournament as their teams Bo3, but think they are both the best fit for the slot for their respective teams. Should be a great series, looking forward to some exciting games.

In theory, playoffs are still possible for every team. Good luck to all of you!
