SV: Elias PSY vs GXE - Elias is good, but GXE just seemed to be on his own level at this point. Just don't see anyone being bolded over him.
SV: tier vs Kushalos - Both are good players, but Kush is just seems on another level as well. Kush is both more creative in the builder and a better clicker. tier usually wins against taking advantage of his opponents' mistakes and Kushalos just doesn't make any, so I struggle to see another outcome.
SV: Axrtix vs frankjosh - Axrtix has been cooking after an initial tough start against sun. frankjosh is not to be underestimated either, but I feel Axrtix more comfortable in this tier.
SV: xavgb vs Taka - Taka only won against team Brazil, while stresh is one of the best players on the website. I think it's by far the most one sided game there. I can see Taka cheese a win with something like Oricorio-Pompom, Rain, or Trick Room, though.
 
Writing these on mobile for DugZa and etern, welcome sirs

Taunting Talonflames (10) vs (0) Fabled Nine-Tailed Foxes
SV: Elias PSY vs GXE - I love when these guys play because the game is bound to be exciting. GXE is probably undefeated, I’m not checking the sheet, but if there’s a week he loses, it would be to Elias, who just seems to turn it up against GXE for some reason. I think GXE is favored here for obvious reasons, but I’m following my gut.
SV: tier vs Kushalos - I’m once again feeling the upset in this mu. The chef has a reputation he has for a reason, but I feel like tier might bring something interesting, get matchup, and win this one. I can’t say I’ve watched too many Kush nupl sv games to be quite honest, and he’s probably favored as well, but I believe in tier. He was a PUPL champion after all, that takes major skill.
SV: Axrtix vs frankjosh - I hope Axrtix wins because I really like Axrtix he’s the man, but I can’t see a 4-0 in SV and I have to bold stresh so, sorry Axrtix gl I think frankjosh wins here. Actually, f it, go Axrtix you’re the goat. A 4-0 is always possible.
SV: xavgb vs Taka - I think Tuthur sums up this mu quite well, go haha his predicts
SS: OranBerryBlissey10 vs Floss - I’m looking forward to this matchup. The OBB bold is pretty obvious I think simply because he’s good af at this tier and a good af player, which is a dangerous combo, but I think the most impressive part to me is his builder creativity. Somehow he wins with teams that make me want to flip a table, and that’s ok. On the other side of things we have Floss, who isn’t a lightweight by any means and has some experience in SS, but the Foxes team choice in SS has been…lacking I’d say. I think if Floss doesn’t rely on old Dugza builds that don’t have answers to Vaporeon this week and brings something strong into OBBs style then this can flip. Please GXE save this slot
SM: LpZ vs Tenebricite - Some of my fondest NU tour memories are of myself and LPZ getting clapped in DPP every week in NU Snake. He’s much better than that in SM and should win I’d say.
ORAS: quziel vs lax - Fun af mu, but this is the doctors tier through and through and lax had an awful start in SM, although he’s still a fantastic player and has done well in ORAS. But it’s quz, he’s the goat.
BW: Fogbound Lake vs Tack - A bit of a toss up match up I’d say, but I think Fogbound Lake is pretty good in all old gens, including BW, so I’ll hold them here.
DPP: Monai vs Real FV13 - Another fun matchup in DPP, and although FV13 is probably favored here, Monai is good at DPP and this is DPP, so who knows wtf will happen. I expect a Drifblim sweep.
ADV: goldmason vs Xrn - goldmason is secretly the goat at ADV and it’s wild how no one has talked about it much because it’s ADV.

Diancies are Forever (1) vs (9) Vibrant Vivillons
SV: fish anemometer vs Django - he’s the goat and loves to play deadline games with the week on the line. What more could you ask for?
SV: Soucou vs zS - Momo will lose, but that’s a good thing because he ended up 4-3 which means if he loses out we’re guaranteed to win the tour.
SV: Diamonds_realm vs Tuthur - 9k Tuthur has to have been rigged. Diamond has had a fantastic rookie tour, but Tuthur has also had a great tour as well and I think he’ll win.
SV: robjr vs Danny - If Danny has a chance to beat the washed allegations in this tier, it’s this week following off the momentum of the last one.
SS: Master Chief vs Pokeslice - I like MC’s and Meri’s teams and games a lot and I think it’ll be a lot of fun to prep and play this week.
SM: ishtar vs etern - As long as we don’t bring AV Raticate, etern will get his revenge on ishtarnally and raise the Comfey winrate this tournament.
ORAS: Kiyo vs Trade - When two boomers fight it’s always a lot of fun, and although Kiyo is back in his home tier after all these years, Trade has shown that he’s still him in ORAS and can beat anyone.
BW: Bughouse vs hellom - This week can be summarized as such. What wins? A shiloh team or an Armaldo? The answer: whoever gets spikes up first.
DPP: HSOWA vs vivalospride - the viv bounce back starts officially this week. No more hax. No more suboptimal sequences. The mindset is there, and the win will follow.
ADV: heysup vs Parpar - 3k Parpar has to have been a joke. Why do we keep letting this guy go for cheap or undrafted. heysup is great at this tier, but 3k Parpar is a different beast.
