Predicts! They're late, but Predicts!

Lavender Laprases (4) vs Anistar Articunos (6)

Ubers: halaman95 vs Trade - Despite coming off a rough loss last week, Trade is still supremely goated and should win. I feel there's a 95% chance halaman loses here.
OU: henguinie vs crying - This could actually be close. Bdlol's been doing good for the most part, while inolife has had a rough time and currently has a negative record. Although, I think I'll give this to inolife, as I think they're more of an ou player, and should be the better player overall.
OU: MagicalXerneas vs lvl100Blaziken - On paper, you might think a Xerneas, and a magical one at that, would beat a blaziken, but for the followings reasons I expect the opposite. MagicalXerneas' performance in blt so far has been abysmal, and while frags may have had his ups and downs, he's been doing quite a bit better. As a player, I think frags is the better one of the two and should win. This Blaziken is level 100, while the Xerneas is probably like level 50.
UU: queso vs RoyalReloaded - This seems like a weird prediction in hindsight considering I've never seen cheese play uu, he's only been playing dou for the whole tour, and he has the worse record, but cheese still wins here. Why? Because he is the better player, his cheesiness will overwhelm the reloaded royal, who scored two wins due to hax and hasn't won since.
RU: Mac3 vs moesi - Lets ignore the fact that mac is negative for a sec so I can say he is goated. Excluding the act loss to ethey, he is 2-2, only having lost to the other 2 ru goats who have been dominating. Imo, mac's been doing good in blt so far, while moesi has been doing just ok. Mac3 has also beaten the more impressive opponents, and being the ru goat he is, I think he'll bring himself to a neutral record by winning here.
NU: Xiri vs Plas - This should be good, 2 old tours room goats and former tours staff battling it out here. I wouldn't sleep on plas here but... it's Xiri. Xiri has been dominating everyone in the nu pool with no sign of stopping, as they're currently 1 of only 3 players who are 5-0. Plas is good but Xiri has been performing better, and seems to be the better nu player, and player overall. So I think Xiri should take this.
PU: tlenit vs sirmrwhale - I am in no way sure of how this will go, and consider this an hl match. Tlenit is a great pu main with what I believe to be superior prowess, tier knowledge, and more experience and for this reason, I'm giving the slight edge to tlenit. I say slight though... since sirmrwhale is currently 4-0 against quite a few good players, even if none of them seemed to be full pu mains. Lets hope tlenit resists water, because sirmrwhale is like a specs wailord that keeps using water spout, only something that resists can quell his rain of terror. Again, I think tlenit should win but I fear sirmrwhale will once again make me regret bolding against him.
LC: Surfy vs Mikaav - I am personally looking forward to this match. While surfy is a great lc player with a fair amount of experience,I feel mikaav is the better lc player, and he has much more experience, having been known for years. This could be close but favoring mikaav due to experience.
DOU: Zoaw vs RKD - This is an interesting match. RKD hasn't had the best blt so far, and Zoaw has only played twice. For this I think I'll base it off experience and tier knowledge, and when it comes to that, RKD reigns superior, so I think RKD wins here. Note: Heard about Zoaw's hand injury, feel better and best of luck with recovery!
Monotype: ChessRobot vs PrinceOfAllTacos - Most would believe that a chess playing robot beats a prince, and one of all tacos no less, in a battle wits. But this is mons, not chess, and poat, especially when it comes to monotype, is better at that than chess robot, who's 2 wins weren't very impressive. Even if poat's record isn't great, I still think he's better here, and should finally get another win.

Ruin Valley Roserades (7) vs Bayern Munchlaxes (3)

Ubers: Reje vs 7u9i2 - If reje actually plays, then I think he should win this. 7u9i2 has been doing pretty well, despite having some good luck, and unfortunately, reje has only played twice. While 7u9i2 has proven to be solid in ubers, reje is even more solid and still has years of experience behind him.
OU: Baloor vs ToastedBunzzz02 - Toasted has had a rough blt so far while baloor has had a very good blt. Comparing the 2, Baloor is definitely the more ou oriented player, and skill wise, the two seem pretty even. With that being said, I think I'll give baloor the edge here for being more of an ou main plus having the better performances, but it could be close.
OU: Hockey1 vs Yugon - Two ou players with 3 losses apiece. Both have had underwhelming performances in blt so far, as proven by their records, but based on both performances, I think hockey1 is the better player and should win. Yugon, and I think I made this joke before, yugon-na lose.
UU: Sificon vs Expulso - I think this could be close. The two have been doing relatively good in blt, but if I had to pick one, I'll give the win to Expulso here because they've had a better showing in uu, and I think they're the better player. Plus, expulso goat is in slam semis, good luck!
RU: Kyotoshi vs yovan33321 - Unfortunately for yovan, the ru pool is stacked in this tour, and he hasn't been able to keep up with the goats. While yovan has a positive record rn, the opponents he won against weren't nearly as good as everyone kyogoatshi faced and won against. The 3 best ru players in the pool are Mac3, Arce9 and Kyotoshi himself. Yovan wasn't able to beat 2/3 of the aforementioned players so far, so I don't see him winning vs Kyotoshi either. Overall, I feel Kyogoatshi is the better player and wins here.
NU: Ninja vs roxiee - Some might consider this an upset pick, but I think I have a few reasons for this. Roxiee is good, but their blt performance hasn't been the greatest. Ninja on the other hand has surprised me by doing very well in this tier, with a current record of 4-1. With how good Ninja has been doing, I think they will win, but roxiee winning here wouldn't surprise me at all, as they seem to be more experienced in the tier.
PU: Let's Rumble Shall We vs gum - Hellray may have the better record, but his wins vs tlenit and splash were mostly due to hax. Hellray is a good player, but I think gum is favored here due to their large amount of pu experience and tier knowledge. If gum tries their best this week, I think gum should win. Hellray should be the one to find himself in a sticky situation even if he was the one who offered to rumble. Ok but fr, I wouldn't be surprised if he won here.
LC: kythr vs p4P1//0n - Hl match. Pap has been doing great so far, beating some of the best and being 4-1. Kythr has been doing good as well with a positive, though slightly less impressive record of 3-2. Despite pap's record being better, I think kythr is the better player here, and has had more success in lc overall, due to being the lc circuit winner. For these reasons I'm giving it to kythr, though I wouldn't be surprised if pap wins.
DOU: Mishimono vs Shadowmonstr7 - Another hl match. Despite his experience and prowess in doubles, Shadow has had a pretty meh blt so far, while mish seems to be a lot more consistent and dominant. Comparing the two, I think mish is better here, and should have more experience, so I think shadow's gonna get mished.
Monotype: Kaguya Lys vs Meta - Yet ANOTHER hl match, and definitely the most hype match of the week! Both are goated mono players who are currently 5-0, being 2 out of only 3 players with such an impressive record. I think Meta has the edge here, as they've had to face the more difficult opponents, and I think they win out on skill and experience. I expect this to be close, and its a shame that regardless of who wins, someone's gonna lose their perfect record.

Turffield Turtwigs (7) vs Sunyshore Snornlaxes (3)

Ubers: Blimax vs FatFighter2 - I think this is yet another hl match. While both of them are 3 wins apiece and have shown great prowess in ubers, I feel BigBellyBoxer2 had shown less consistency than blimax. Based on their blt performances, I think blimax has had the more solid wins, and if he plays to the bli-maximum, he should win here too, while the fat fighter may find himself needing to go on a diet after this match.
OU: myjava vs TectonicDestroyer - I think a lot of people would consider this an upset pick. While both players have currently positive records, myjava probably knows the tier better. However, idk if tect just preps really well or what, but whatever he's been doing, it's working. Tect is a bit of a wild card and I feel people sleep on him, but he's been seen to pull upsets plenty in the past. Now I really hope the one time I pick him to pull the upset, he doesn't lose.
OU: Harshal_08 vs Roginald - Even though rogi came off a very impressive win vs frags, harshal's been playing all 5 weeks and has won against several very impressive players. I feel rogi wins in experience, and even though I've seen more of rogi play, I'm going to base this off performances so far and pick harshal here. I can see rogi winning, as I almost bolded him here, but my gut feeling really said no.
UU: Maki vs Mygrein - This is the 4th tier Maki has been slotted in (played ru and dou, slotted in pu), and yet they're 3-0. While Maki has been on a roll, Mygrein is an uu main who has been playing uu for the whole tour, and has gotten the same number of wins in said tier. Maki is a good player but I think Mygrein should win here due to being a uu main with more experience and knowledge, plus having played it the entire tour, while Maki has only played dou and ru so far. Although, I wouldn't be surprised if Maki wins here, seeing as they're in uult semis.
RU: TeamCharm vs EternalSnowman - Hl match imo. This should be a close one. Esm is good but has been struggling against a stacked ru pool, while charm is 4-1 and, like Maki, this is the 4th tier they've been slotted into, not having previously played this tier in the tour as well. Esm may benefit from the fact he's only been slotted in ru so far, but I think charm should still have this due to being a good player with good support and a lot of versatility in both tiers, and his building.
NU: udongirl vs daniYSB - Having battled both of these guys now, I'm intrigued and very much want to see this, though I feel confident about who will win. Dani has had a very rough blt so far, despite being thought of as one of the best in the pool, like tlenit in pu. Udongirl, though only having played twice, is undefeated. I think dani still wins this due to being a nu main with a lot of experience and tier knowledge, and I feel they're the better player here. Although, I wouldn't sleep on udon, I made that mistake last week. Udon should also be receiving good support so I feel there's a decent chance they could win here.
PU: 100%GXE vs Z Strats - Hl match, both are great players who have done well so far. Gxe is a goat in all tiers, and while Z Strats has been doing pretty well in pu, I feel gxe will be extra motivated to win simply because he is facing the so-called "worst player in the whole tour".
LC: Serene Grace vs BigBoy038 - Bigboy may be positive while serene is neutral, but I think serene has had the more big-boy wins against better opponents. I feel serene is the better lc player with more prowess, experience, and tier knowledge, so I think he should win here with serenity and grace. Although, BigBoy is still pretty good so I'd say he has a 38% chance of winning.
DOU: mammalu vs LightScreener - LightScreener is good but they haven't had the best blt so far, while mammalu having gotten wins over doubles goats crunchman and ttt is no small feat. Mammalu has been picking up momentum and I don't see them slowing down here. I'm giving the edge to mamm, but wouldn't be surprised if lightscreener wins.
Monotype: Decem vs TheGreenRoman - Happened already, but the result was no surprise.

Here's a meme I thought of while doing these predicts:

Anyways, thanks for reading and see you next week.

(Apologies to anyone I may have possibly offended, please do not take these very seriously.)
