I think this set will actually be a 5-5 tie, one of the MUs just won't go the way I call it, but on paper Goodras look good here
m.A.A.d. City Magmortars (4) vs (6) Goofy Goober Goodras
SV: fish anemometer vs asa - realistically I'd bold the vs here but I'm trying to not do that these predictions so I'll give asa the slight edge for a better week 1
SV: Tuthur vs ishtar - Tuthur had a pretty immediate matchup win which was played perfectly well but doesn't necessarily suggest they're ready to oust ishtar yet
SV: Drud vs Bella - I liked Bella's week 1 win but I think Drud and the mags in general are mad enough to cook here and idrt they'll go 0-3 in SV overall
SS: Dj Breloominati♬ vs Meru - could go either way, Dj has better past results but not by like, that much, lucked week 1 vs owned by a crazy set idk
SM: ManOfMany vs Estarossa - I was low on Esta in the rankings but they had a very competent week 1 and I did not like what Many was cooking
ORAS: TheKingKarp vs Aberforth - owned by Stoutland vs owned by stall despite a solid matchup, again giving it to the Mags because I think they're madder (pun intended)
BW: Stories vs EviGaro - Evioat
DPP: BeatsBlack vs JabbaTheGriffin - Heysup is the hardest week 1 you can have but it still seemed like Beats choked a bit where Jabba had a pretty solid w
ADV: Monai vs Slowbroth - honestly I'm kinda 50/50 here but Broth seemed like he was cooking w1 despite a near-fought win
Bo3: pdt vs Thiago Nunes - zS cooked Thiago bad so I think he's gonna wanna come back a lot stronger, but pdt remains him

Malignant Chain Snatchers (5) vs (5) SCREAM QUEEN LOORS
SV: S1nn0hC0nfirm3d vs nada e ninguem - asa S1nn0h first 2 weeks is a tough draw, I wonder if he's regretting getting a Discord
SV: Ampha vs Baloor - both had extremely interesting teams w1 (Shaymin/Arboliva + Grimmsnarl ?_?), I liked both a lot and don't have much swaying me, gonna give it to Baloor purely because we're on the same SMPL team and they also need to justify their price more
SV: feen vs etern - I rate both pretty highly and they both had close but tough losses to solid players, another case where I'd bold vs but I think feen has better building support and a better week 1 team so yeah
SS: OranBerryBlissey10 vs Mada - Amazing Regirock win w1 but idk if OBB is gonna go out like that
SM: sugar ovens vs robjr - week 1 makes me think rob needs some new teams to spice it up or something, sugar's shown a willingness to punish the same old standard stuff
ORAS: Alice Kazumi vs teddeh - wasn't a fan of Alice's week 1 team, teddeh didn't show much but he did play that stall game pretty well so yeah
BW: Tack vs lax - honestly idk, Tack had a bit of a lucky win but I liked what both were cooking last week. once again gonna tiebreak based on currently being on the same PL team as one of them
DPP: HSOWA vs Leni - poor week 1 vs no week 1, I think HSOWA will bounce back
ADV: plznostep vs Parpar - honestly Parpar looked pretty good vs the pool's best, calling an upset here
Bo3: Suzuya vs zS - insanely better week 1 showing

I think Houndstoners win but also I think Golurks take at least one SV game despite my predictions, so even though I've bolded for a 7-3 win it'll actually end up being 6-4
420 Houndstoners (7) vs (3) The Gargantuan Golurks
SV: Axrtix vs Taka - I liked their week 1 better, Taka had a real bad matchup but I'm not convinced Encore defensive Scream Tail meaning you can drop Haze on Milotic was a good thought process in the first place
SV: sufys vs Bouff - pretty good week 1 from both but I'm very high on Sufys
SV: tier vs Seraphz - pretty poor week 1 from both but tier's my guy
SS: Piyu vs Hera - they lost to the best 2 players in the pool week 1 but I liked what Piyu showed more
SM: entrocefalo vs Xiri - entro's a great player but that wasn't a very inspiring week 1, I'll trust Xiri to bounce back
ORAS: avarice vs crying - didn't bring Meditite
BW: Feaniix vs LpZ - unfortunate loss vs strong win
DPP: dunoks vs frankjosh - cooked week 1 and I want to see more ridiculous stuff winning
ADV: goldmason vs A plague doc - don't really know either and goldmason looked a lot better week 1
Bo3: Danny vs justdrew - better week 1 but I think this'll actually be pretty close
 
m.A.A.d. City Magmortars (4) vs (6) Goofy Goober Goodras
SV: fish anemometer vs asa - highlight matchup #1, giving a slight edge to fish bc i think he's gonna be really motivated to bounce back from a pretty rough week 1
SV: Tuthur vs ishtar - tuthur's chances here go up exponentially if he isnt drafting for SMPL during his game again
SV: Drud vs Bella - sorry bestie but this is gonna be a rough climb, props to mags for the shady lineup shuffle though. i think bella has a better handle on what's going on in SV but drud is a vastly better clicker
SS: Dj Breloominati♬ vs Meru - both of these guys had really depressing w1 games, but losing to sub ironpress regirock is some foul shit. expecting more motivation out of dj here
SM: ManOfMany vs Estarossa - esta's coming off a really solid win against rob, don't really think this one is close
ORAS: TheKingKarp vs Aberforth - brother abe please do not lose to stall with specs camel again i KNOW you are goated with the sauce
BW: Stories vs EviGaro - evi got sheisted by spikes stall last week, stories got shiested in general altho there was a lil luck involved. generally think evi's gonna care more.
DPP: BeatsBlack vs JabbaTheGriffin - jabba's sick with it, although beats did fight heysup w1 so i'm not inclined to count that loss against him
ADV: Monai vs Slowbroth - highlight matchup #2, i think broth's overall knowledge of this tier can keep him afloat but monai will definitely be a challenge
Bo3: pdt vs Thiago Nunes - pdt's not playing the manager so he can't get ducked this time!! this is gonna be close and i definitely think tnunes will put up a fight but pdt's knowledge gap in SS and SM looks like a big deal.

Pokestar Pranksters (4) vs (6) Haunter x Haunter
SV: Beraldo vs MZ - mz is goated with the sauce and brought some really cool tech last week! beraldo is good though so it won't be smooth sailing. i think he won last week? not sure? could someone from his team post replay please
SV: Larry vs Floss - floss just beat #1 in sv pool and i doubt he's intending to look like a fucking idiot by dropping the ball immediately after
SV: DripLegend vs Cielau - i really did not like drip's team last week but i think he's gonna be motivated to cook with the drops and cielau's game had me crying like an italian mother who found out her daughter got a tattoo
SS: gum vs mj - very convincing win vs hera, and while i think mj's motivation is high after beating dj last week, gum is just better at the tier
SM: Sylveon used calm mind vs PTF - sylv had a really nice win against xiri last week but i think ptf's knowledge of the tier is head and shoulders above
ORAS: Kiyo vs tko - pretty even, bolding tko because kiyo did get a little lucky
BW: Hacker vs Guille - i've seen one game but this guy is cracked
DPP: Bag of Trixx vs Heysup - he's gonna force trixx to play on tuesday and win like usual
ADV: Lily vs TyCarter - this is like the video of that guy getting hit with a can of twisted tea so hard the seal on the top breaks
Bo3: mncmt vs DugZa - didn't get to see doug play last week so no data there, think he'll put up a good fight though

420 Houndstoners (4) vs (6) The Gargantuan Golurks
SV: Axrtix vs Taka - even matchup so bolding my GOAT
SV: sufys vs Bouff - young, hungry, coming off a win, cooks the tier like a mf
SV: tier vs Seraphz - brother tier please make sure that your teammates don't load the same tech when their game is after yours
SS: Piyu vs Hera - don't love either of the teams these guys brought last week, giving an edge to hera on meta knowledge and drive
SM: entrocefalo vs Xiri - another series of players coming off of some harsh losses, i think xiri will be able to bounce back but we might get another PUBD-esque run :(
ORAS: avarice vs crying - avarice played a solid game last week and The Flavor wasn't really hitting, non zero chance that crying's insane tech finds its target and we see a mald though
BW: Feaniix vs LpZ - oldgens lowtiers jesus performs second miracle of PUPL X, although this one is gonna be harder
DPP: dunoks vs frankjosh - i trust frank to cook
ADV: goldmason vs A plague doc - doc put up a decent fight against lily, think he learned his lesson to be careful around lickitung
Bo3: Danny vs justdrew - I won’t be predicting against Daniel much this tour, maybe never
 
m.A.A.d. City Magmortars (6) vs (4)Goofy Goober Goodras
SV: fish anemometer vs asa - comeback week for the goat no way he begins 0-2
SV: Tuthur vs ishtar - jjo9lie
SV: Drud vs Bella - bella is the goat but drud is a rly strong fundamental player and if he doesnt choke on dicks this week he wins
SS: Dj Breloominati♬ vs Meru - idk i just have a feeling meru will win this but wouldnt be surprised with a dj win bc he will probs actually build an ss team rather than reuse from scl ii.
SM: ManOfMany vs Estarossa - i see more esta win posts than mom winposts only basis for this predict.
ORAS: TheKingKarp vs Aberforth - the king will not lose again. he is getting back into form this tournament.
BW: Stories vs EviGaro - only time i root for evi
DPP: BeatsBlack vs JabbaTheGriffin - man i can see this go either way but jabba just has way more years experience playing this
ADV: Monai vs Slowbroth - no shade but who is slowbroth? i see monai taking this if he doesnt troll.
Bo3: pdt vs Thiago Nunes - hype mu pdt is in good form tho and i can see this going to 3 games but sv seems pdt and sm he has more experience. ss is pretty even iirc

Pokestar Pranksters (6) vs (4) Haunter x Haunter
SV: Beraldo vs MZ - faroferos dont lose often but MZ might be the reason for one. This could be the maker of this set so Beraldo rly does need to win. MZ has the edge in the builder though.
SV: Larry vs Floss - one of the hype sv mus i can see floss winning this just based on team pick. i think skill wise this is pretty even though.
SV: DripLegend vs Cielau - look drip is a g but their blt was not impressive and cielau with a good dugza team or combo team can win this i think. can see an upset tho for sure/
SS: gum vs mj - gum rarely loses in this tier and mj lost a game they shouldnt have lost in nupl which makes me rate gum much higher
SM: Sylveon used calm mind vs PTF - idk shit about either but ptf is allegedly a mainer? sylv is gas tho they brought some heat last week right.
ORAS: Kiyo vs tko - my fellow nu player vs my fellow lc player gotta give it to kiyo tho bc hes on fire rn and can fully focus on pupl over nupl.
BW: Hacker vs Guille - LOL hacker in bw is the better learn chinese meme. gl bud i have faith.
DPP: Bag of Trixx vs Heysup - predicting against heysup in dpp is sacrilegious.
ADV: Lily vs TyCarter - ditto above but for adv pu
Bo3: mncmt vs DugZa - tough one to call mnc used a dugza team last week. i rate dugza higher in ss and mncmt higher in sm. ill give it to mncmt just bc his play is rly clean and i think the prep support from gum and sasha will rly help here.

Malignant Chain Snatchers (4) vs (6) SCREAM QUEEN LOORS
SV: S1nn0hC0nfirm3d vs nada e ninguem - this seems like a no contest.
SV: Ampha vs Baloor - LOL TWO GOOBERS. Baloor is more proven but Ampha is very motivated. I’ll go with the Ampha arguable upset.
SV: feen vs etern - I like em both but etern will make sure to check the team he brings this week for a fairy resist.
SS: OranBerryBlissey10 vs Mada - obb and ss low tiers are synonymous.
SM: sugar ovens vs robjr - I didn’t like how sugar ovens played last week very close game for what was a perfect mu. Rob is rly good at the game.
ORAS: Alice Kazumi vs teddeh - Teddeh loaded stall week 1. Only true degens do that and thus he gets the bold.
BW: Tack vs lax - I like em both but lax is rly good at the video game. Idk anything about his bw pu game but if he gets a strong team I can see him win. Tack is strong tho so this one is closer than it seems.
DPP: HSOWA vs Leni - HSOWA is hot in these dpp low tiers.
ADV: plznostep vs Parpar - parpar is that guy in adv low tiers and will solve this tier asw.
Bo3: Suzuya vs zS - a great bo3 mu here. Zs is def more experienced in these tiers gonna give edge to him. Will say that Suzuya does seem to have zs’s number as of late, he can def win this. The fact that they’re good friends means this will be a fun watch regardless.
