[Boomenheimer]

Let’s give this weekly predicts a go (only doing matchups where I recognize at least one player) and identifying the matchup of the week.

Predictions of the week:

Shucklegigas vs pheonix_gaming67: experienced player
Illouri vs shuzoku: think Illouri will have good pastes
YaBoyZae vs JeoZ: experienced/good player
Tempo di anguria vs Clawed Winter: two goats I’m not picking sides it’s a coin toss imo
ThauanXBB vs Airi: experienced player
awyp vs slopcat: experienced player
MirrorSaMa vs Ineros: both good players but Ineros has goat SS support (US South)
jawsome274 vs yogo896: experienced player
BEASTADARSH vs HoodedZack: experienced/good player, dark horse of the tour as usual
luuanfps vs Oculars: luuanfps will be getting served the ocky way
Redgoop115 vs Darkness 789: I think Darkness cheese will befuddle the Redgoop but good prep may say otherwise
GOATED im_m0rtal. vs Pokemonrainer: experienced player
Luffy_213 vs thebestever543: good player with strong support
Santouss vs Xurkiyee: cakewalk
veti vs Aso: both solid but I give Aso the edge via PRC support
Octperlover vs eldids: good player
Devious flamigo vs MemphisDepay: went to losers finals last ssnl I expect a strong performance this time as well
Clem vs Dota: Clem the goat

Matchup of the week:
Tempo di anguria vs Clawed Winter: SS Cup Winner vs SS Money Tour Finalist

This is a banger matchup of titans in the first week of this tour. I said I wasn’t picking sides in the predictions but I give Clawed Winter the slight edge because of his experience in the tier, his teams, and his god-tier support. I still expect Tempo to push him to the brink. Stay tuned for this matchup!

Once you reach out to your opponent and have given them time a fair amount of time to respond, if they haven't responded back you may claim an activity win.
