Welcome to the eighth edition of the World Cup of 1v1. This year, ten teams are battling it out to see who can claim to be the 1v1 World Champions.
​
Rules
General Rules:
- General tournament rules and regulations can be found here.
- If metagame changes occur during the middle of a round, they will take effect in the subsequent round.
- Battles must take place on either Smogtours or Pokemon Showdown!
- Replays are required. Any win post without replays will not be counted

Substitutions:
- If you are unable to schedule with your opponent, please let your managers know ASAP so they can communicate that to us or the other team's managers for a potential substitute.
- When making a substitution, please the host team, the managers of the opposing team, and all of the players affected by the substitute to ensure that everyone is made aware.
- Keep in mind once a player is subbed out, they cannot be subbed back into the same round, but can be put back onto the roster for next round.
- Substitutions will not be allowed in tiebreak series unless both teams agree (or TDs enforce double sub). We will be reluctant to give activity wins to those who are clearly fishing for them.

Sportsmanship:
- Note the sportsmanship infraction may be used liberally this 1v1 WC, and any unsportsmanlike conduct on the forums, in the tours games, or 1v1 discord will be grounds for an infraction.

US West (3) vs (5) South Europe
SV 1v1 Bo7: eblurb vs RADU: I trust Radu to outclick eblurb as the building will likely be even. Radu in 6
SV 1v1: Nuxl vs Akeras: Everyone seems to be making the mistake of underrating Akeras - I think he's a lot better than people realise. Akeras in 5
SV 1v1: Blanched vs gorilaa: Gorilaa has been doing well but Blanched is a very strong player. Blanched in 4
SV 1v1: happysh vs Bomb21XD: Depends on the types of teams that Bomb will bring - I really like his style but it's often not conducive to winning. Happysh is reliably pretty good. Happysh in 5
SS 1v1: tears vs Lialiabeast: Lialiabeast fresh off their win in classic cup - I think that kind of momentum is hard to stop. Lialiabeast in 4
SM 1v1: Waylaid vs Close: Not too knowledgeable here but it seems like these players are roughly equal? Waylaid in 5
ORAS 1v1: Synonimous vs SEROO: I know nothing about ORAS. Seroo in 3
BW 1v1: SuperMemeBroz vs Corckscrew: I hadn't heard of Corckscrew before their win vs Alyssa, but that has convinced me to give them the edge over WC8 debutant(?) seasoned gamer SuperMemeBroz. Corckscrew in 4

SV 1v1 Bo7: eblurb vs RADU I think at peak performance eblurb wins this but I think exactly whats gonna happen the day he plays is that he will log 4 hours of valorant, say nothing during the hour before the match, link without saying a word, lose 4-2 and then say "yeah, i just didnt feel good about that match, slot me if tb."
SV 1v1: Nuxl vs Akeras Not a joke
SV 1v1: Blanched vs gorilaa idt blanched loses to anyone in the bo5 pool ever ngl
SV 1v1: happysh vs Bomb21XD An awe-inspiring matchup. Deathbeam pointed at the planet you are NOT calling these two. This is 100% bombs series to lose though. happysh isn't completely clueless but theres a lot of improvement to be done and no1 on the us west roster is the type to elevate a major struggler.
SS 1v1: tears vs Lialiabeast Meta knowledge diff is just too high here I think. Tears will prob load garbage and win convincingly.
SM 1v1: Waylaid vs Close sm waylaid is very beatable, I lowkey think the west prep is better though so this is actually a cool matchup.
ORAS 1v1: Synonimous vs SEROO Having fun is not a good strategy in 1v1, load some mons on the vr bucko.
BW 1v1: SuperMemeBroz vs Corckscrew Cheating is a good strategy in 1v1.
 
SV 1v1 Bo7: eblurb vs RADU (60-40)
Two players I hold in high regard for CG. Radu's run has been insane and he's clearly the more motivated of the two players, but I still give the edge to eblurb as long as riot games curse does not get to him (he will queue up valorant and peek mid on ascent). Blurb has a way better SV environment (blanched bobson nuxl happysh), and the teams he will get will likely be top notch. I have eblurb in 7 but this is the SV matchup im the most uncertain on.

SV 1v1: Nuxl vs Akeras (90-10)
Nuxl has consistently looked like one of the best SV players recently. He's coming off the high of a collective 10-1 from UMPL and pools, with both solid building and clicking. He's motivated, and I dont think his momentum is slowing down anytime soon. Nuxl in 3

SV 1v1: Blanched vs gorilaa (90-10)
I consider blanched top 5 CG players rn, while the only metric I have to judge gorilla off is his pools record. He takes it in 3.

SV 1v1: happysh vs Bomb21XD (50-50)
Happysh can get the win if he invests in it but I do have great faith in bomb21xd cooking up 1v1UU team that just randomly wins.

SS 1v1: tears vs Lialiabeast (80-20)
Lia right off the classic win but I think tears still got it by a mile. Maybe lia's motivation and momentum can carry them forward but I'm not entirely convinced.

SM 1v1: Waylaid vs Close (40-60)
I believe in the Waylaid magic but Close is a great player from what ive seen, and he has already gotten the W against waylaid once, so I'm interested to see how the rematch plays out.

ORAS 1v1: Synonimous vs SEROO (??-??)
I dont know much about Oras but synon looks like the better player to me so i'm bolding him.

BW 1v1: SuperMemeBroz vs Corckscrew (90-10)
Corkscrew's first time playing bw1v1 seems to be last week, which is not the level of experience needed to beat his opp lol. Corkscrew does seem motivated ig so that's a point in their favour.

I'm not motivated at all gotta be honest with u man, just doing radu a favor cause he couldnt find anyone else to play this joke of a tier
I do love how this comunity makes predicions and gets hyped about coinflip games tho, u guys are cute
Good luck to our opponents for the final, shellos with the cigarette is a good custom

edit. just got to know theres no custom, now I lost all the motivation I didnt have

May the better coinflip mainers win hope 2 see u next year
 
1st predictions ever, had to jump in here for the west. Don't get offended, I'm mainly just goofing around here.
SV 1v1 Bo7: eblurb vs RADU: RADU is good, ebulb is better.
SV 1v1: Nuxl vs Akeras: Akeras coming off a good win, but eblurb + blanched prep gonna pull through for Nuxl.
SV 1v1: Blanched vs gorilaa: Blanched is very good at 1v1. 'nough said.
SV 1v1: happysh vs Bomb21XD: This one could go either way, Bomb wins if they only bring mono-poison teams.
SS 1v1: tears vs Lialiabeast: Close one, but tears has the US West difference.
SM 1v1: Waylaid vs Close: Waylaid gets revenge from the pools.
ORAS 1v1: Synonimous vs SEROO: Sure, I'm not an ORAS player.
BW 1v1: SuperMemeBroz vs Corckscrew: Epic name = win.

GO US WEST!!!

Shoutout Satanic Beast Pokemh Bella bea bern for help the predicts
 
Weclome back to Podra's perfect Predictions.

US West (3) vs (5) South Europe

SV 1v1 Bo7: eblurb vs RADU: I've got no clue what eblurb plays like HOWEVER, since everyone was being rated in Pl against the cost of eblurb, imma give them this one.

SV 1v1: Nuxl vs Akeras : My boy Akeras on a hot streak. Who the fuck cares about how theyve been doing in other tournaments, this entire metagame is played on a game by game basis. Sit down everyone.

SV 1v1: Blanched vs gorilaa: Ive never played gorilla but blanched has beaten me twice, thus they get the win

SV 1v1: happysh vs Bomb21XD: Legit dont know, but my SEU boys gonna take this

SS 1v1: tears vs Lialiabeast : Lia gonna make tears tear up!

SM 1v1: Waylaid vs Close : I swear ive seen bros name on all the old gens councils, I respect that, i do think itll be CLOSE tho ;)

ORAS 1v1: Synonimous vs SEROO : See Happy vs Bomb

BW 1v1: SuperMemeBroz vs Corckscrew: Drips teammate
 
Indi's Idiotic Insights:

SV 1v1 Bo7: eblurb vs RADU
Reasoning: Radu's pixel art has been steadily improving, while eblurb's Valorant addiction has too after "dropping 4 kills on the tiebreaker round", which is honestly coincidentally cool with how they also got a 4-0 record too in pools. Haven't seen these two fight since the Barreskewdas match.

SV 1v1: Nuxl vs Akeras
Reasoning: Found out that they were in Thailand the same time I was, which means they rank high in culture stats. Unfortunate for Akeras, their Kongming custom won't ever be truly complete without a complementing Eiko Tsukimi custom (I still listen to the Be Crazy for Me and Dreamer songs)

SV 1v1: Blanched vs gorilaa
Reasoning: I got no funny reasons for either player, Blanched is just a really consistent Top 10 overall player with whom Squirtell acknowledges.

SV 1v1: happysh vs Bomb21XD
Reasoning: I trust the combo of Wyrdeer and flame orb Drifblim.

US West (0) vs (0) South Europe
SV 1v1 Bo7: eblurb vs RADU - Radu surely will tryhard to get the second 1v1 Chip in a few months, blurb won't, and I'm not sure he has to, his team should be winning this even if he misses gametime for a valorant game
SV 1v1: Nuxl vs Akeras - I'd by incredibe impressed if Nuxl managed to lose this. Its not particularly close
SV 1v1: Blanched vs gorilaa - the only one thats beating blanchy on that SEU SV is RADUOLOGY, and he is already tasked with beating blurb
SV 1v1: happysh vs Bomb21XD - this is the closest Bomb is gonna get to winning an official teamtour playoff game. I'm rooting for him. I hope both don't hold back the sauce.
SS 1v1: tears vs Lialiabeast - super washed vs super momentum, i think the West SS is just better though
SM 1v1: Waylaid vs Close - Close can't hold back and if he's rolling he's rolling
ORAS 1v1: Synonimous vs SEROO - less nonsense, better player, Sero can definetly get this too though, fairly close
BW 1v1: SuperMemeBroz vs Corckscrew - Corckscrew sounds a lot like me back when i started with 1v1. you'll get the hang of it. you'll lose a few times before then though, granted SMBz wasnt convincing one bit last week and i hope he gets a grip
