I gotta do predicts now to honor my deal with spoo, apologies if any of these takes are atrocious I wouldnt know

Heart Attack Hemogoblins (3) vs Noble Naviathans (5)
SV: Potatochan vs avarice - more sv cap experience and success
SV: Baloor vs lax - loor has the experience edge but lax is the stronger player
SV: Kaif vs Darek - first actual mainer !!
SS: fade vs snaga - fade was the better retain
SS: DetroitLolCat vs The Number Man - if we get prime tnm he should be bolded every week
SM: QWILY vs Lily - HAH that rhymes, idk tbh but Lily has played more cap
ORAS: Seasons vs Steam Buns - spl player vs one of the best old gen mainers, this is a hl match for sure gonna bold buns just cause seasons hasnt had a chance to adjust to the meta yet
BW: Feaniix vs Splash - if Im not mistaken feaniix plays more bw but I could be trippin balls and Im too lazy to fact check myself

Dave's Dedennes (3) vs No Fucks Great Tusks (5)
SV: Sylveon used calm mind vs RaJ.Shoot - very lopsided matchup, just dont lose to ho raj
SV: Fc vs Piyush25 - has had better sv cap results
SV: Monai vs myjava - very surprised to not see monai in bw, heavy favorite for myjava on sv
SS: shiloh vs arn.av136 - shiloh has less support but is an elite player and can pull through for sure
SS: Mimikyu Stardust vs Atha - same reasoning as above
SM: Kenix vs pannu - the inexplicable 13k upbid on pannu was the hl of draft ngl
ORAS: Lasen vs DJ Breloominati - another surprising placement from tusks didnt expect to see spitfire here, lasen is gonna kick my ass for always bolding against him but spitfire is an incredibly strong player
BW: tier vs Wait2Seconds - bro cost me my upbid by dm'ing me mid bid-war LOL but wishing you all the best man

Dave's Dedennes (3) vs No Fucks Great Tusks (5)
SV: Sylveon used calm mind vs RaJ.Shoot - raj does not lose in sv cap i fear
SV: Fc vs Piyush25 - absolute banger match, however i rate piyu v highly
SV: Monai vs myjava - think mj is the stronger sv pilot in general + has previous cap exp and better support
SS: shiloh vs arn.av136 - rly excited to see shiloh play more of this tier after his strong money tour run, arnav always surprised me with the wins he pulls out but i imagine he's a bit rusty atm
SS: Mimikyu Stardust vs Atha - this looks roughly even to me, atha could easily steal it but i trust mimis skills more
SM: Kenix vs pannu - idk but i bet this game will be a mess
ORAS: Lasen vs Dj Breloominati♬ - this will also be a mess but an extremely enjoyable one. spectators are the real winners here
BW: tier vs Wait2Seconds - p confident about this, i place tier in the higher end of this pool

Vengeful Venomicons (5) vs Mollux Stocks (3)
SV: Joeshh vs The Strap - joe gap
SV: Trogba Trogba vs Elfuseon - predicting an upset here, i think trogba has a ton of potential w the support on this team
SV: Beraldo vs Inder - uhh not really sure what to make of this mu, just going with gut
SS: clean vs Kate - 6 cap gap
SS: Fogbound Lake vs ChrisPBacon - mildly salty that clem snagged chris but sadly he will get cooked by specs naviathan or some bullshit
SM: SHSP vs Clementine - SomeHow Still Playing
ORAS: Sylvi vs JayHeaven - i respect sylvi a lot as a pilot and i think they will do well this tour, but not sure he will be able to overcome jay this early
BW: TGA vs Fakee - genuinely cant remember if fakee has played bw cap before but i think he edges out tga either way. close game
