Welcome to Smogon! Take a moment to read the Introduction to Smogon for a run-down on everything Smogon, and make sure you take some time to read the global rules.
Semi-serious Predicts 2: The Sequel (a.k.a how did I go 1/7 in predicts)
false vs Xiri - Xiri has a ton of momentum after beating TJ with what looked like Ktu teams, but I still think the winner of the extension match has a better chance at winning. false ended up beating my initial prediction of who would win the extension match so I think false wins here. Sqaush vs termi - Both of these players kinda got bailed out during games they should've lost, but regardless I thought both were impressive. Going Sqaush here because he won in 2 as opposed to 3. Vulpix03 vs Sensei Axew - LET'S GO NORTHEAST!
mushamu vs Lockjaw - My mind says Mushamu, but my gut is seriously impressed by how Lockjaw was able to take advantage of Wingless' building habits and win both games quite convincingly imo. Probably a cool set regardless.
Lockjaw vs Wingless:
Choice Scarf Poliwrath (Wingless, twice)
eifo vs termi:
None lol (unless you count NP Mesprit, which termi used)
Squash vs zoowi:
Choice Band Tsareena (zoowi)
NP Cofagrigus (zoowi)
Defensive Noctowl (zoowi)
Sub SD Drednaw (zoowi)
CM Beheeyem (zoowi)
NP Skuntank (Squash)
Semi-serious Predicts 3: I Can't Root For Northeast Anymore (2/11 :( )
lockjaw vs Xiri - Last round all but confirmed my suspicions that Xiri getting teams from Ktu. With that being said, I am rooting for lockjaw to win the tour from here. He has been consistently impressive, with a mix of creative building and great game play, and I absolutely hope he wins this match. termi vs sensei axew - She chose the objectively worse admin as her avatar, but from watching her play these last couple of playoffs sets as well as PUWC, she seems to have finally shaken off some of that rust. Her builds are consistent, her playstyle is great at punishing small mistakes and playing the long game, and she can come back from solid deficits. Hoping for a lockjaw vs termi finals.
Round 1:
Lockjaw vs Wingless:
Choice Scarf Poliwrath (Wingless, twice)
eifo vs termi:
None lol (unless you count NP Mesprit, which termi used)
Squash vs zoowi:
Choice Band Tsareena (zoowi)
NP Cofagrigus (zoowi)
Defensive Noctowl (zoowi)
Sub SD Drednaw (zoowi)
CM Beheeyem (zoowi)
NP Skuntank (Squash)
Fun fact: Defog Groundvally and Kee Berry Uxie have been seeing rises lately, mainly in playoffs. It's quite outstanding how such a small group of people can popularize generally unseen options.
