What a time
is a Contributor Alumnus
Might as well do predicts for the first time


Circhester Centiskorchers (4) vs. Po Town Pandas (4)

SS: King Choco vs Splash - The booty melo can't lose with my blessing
SS: Shiba vs Sensei Axew - Swear shiba has popped off this tour while sensei axew hasn't looked too spicy
Bo3: Trichotomy vs Floss - Playoffs floss hits different
Threat: Nailec vs Kev - Kev got saved by timer last time while apparently nailecs an lc main. Edging Kev rn
AAA: Fissure vs Catalystic - I love cata but fissures a different breed
STAB: Quantum Tesseract vs Sae - Sae sae the bae bae. Should be a close one and I believe both only have 1 loss each the whole tour?
LC: Eternal Spirit vs EviGaro - ES has looked kinda nice in lc ngl
NatDex: Skysolo vs Attribute - Attribute has finally unlocked his true potential after his glow up playoffs clutch performance from mpl to mwp

Edging Pandas in a tiebreaker

Mossdeep Murkrows (5) vs. Viridian Vivillons (3)

SS: Maki vs Mateeus - I trust the furry here
SS: Sabella vs kythr - Both are fire but booty's experience is gonna come in clutch here
Bo3: Star vs Decem - Decems had a great tour but stars done even better. Can't see him losing a set all tour honestly
Threat: TonyFlygon vs Toxanex - Toxanex had wild techs in that grass threat and I expect him to bring some more insane shit
AAA: smub vs The Number Man - In lycans words, "The number man is the big danger this tour"
STAB: Leru vs trash - Didn't expect to see leru here but he has always shown to be capable of playing any meta the team needs. Should be a good game though since trash has held up good performances in mwp every year.
LC: Yami vs Toadow - Toadows an lc main
NatDex: Gondra vs maroon - Gondra is one of the best players in this entire tournament. Unfort for the excadrill.

Rooting for krows / pandas to take it all. Good luck lads~

Figured I'd do my coin flip predicts. I really only know aaa and stab so those will be the only games I give my two cents on. This week's quarter will be a 2004-P Wisconsin State Quarter (No extra leaf). As always, left is heads and right is tails.

Circhester Centiskorchers (3) vs. Po Town Pandas (5)

SS: King Choco vs Splash
SS: Shiba vs Sensei Axew
Bo3: Trichotomy vs Floss
Threat: Nailec vs Kev
AAA: Fissure vs Catalystic - Cata is the better aaa player so I can't argue with the 2004-P Wisconsin State Quarter (No extra leaf). Grats on no hax this week Cata.
STAB: Quantum Tesseract vs Sae - Sae will probably bring something broken or pull a Power and bring 6 anchor shot mons and QT dies from old age before he depletes all his pp and loses to timer.
LC: Eternal Spirit vs EviGaro
NatDex: Skysolo vs Attribute

Mossdeep Murkrows (5) vs. Viridian Vivillons (3)

SS: Maki vs Mateeus
SS: Sabella vs kythr
Bo3: Star vs Decem
Threat: TonyFlygon vs Toxanex
AAA: smub vs The Number Man - If these were my own predicts and not the 2004-P Wisconsin State Quarter (No extra leaf)'s predicts, I would give it to TNM as they actually play aaa...but these are not my predicts. Grats on the first win smub.
STAB: Leru vs trash - Once again the 2004-P Wisconsin State Quarter (No extra leaf) goes against my own personal predict. Trash has been playing pretty well and us 3k picks have to stick together. However, it appears Leru's one stab game was enough to curry favor with the 2004-P Wisconsin State Quarter (No extra leaf).
LC: Yami vs Toadow
NatDex: Gondra vs maroon

didn't do predicts all tour but right now couldn't be a more perfect time to do them, right?
pretty cool that we have a double tiebreaker tho!

Circhester Centiskorchers (2) vs. Po Town Pandas (1)

SS: Shiba vs Floss - both have had pretty good tours but i've experienced what its like to work with Floss in a tiebreaker and he is def gonna bring something cool here and win it.
Bo3: Trichotomy vs Attribute - Trich is just way too solid in SS, i find it really hard to bet against him. Attribute's builds are certainly interesting but Trich is just really well rounded in both building and playstyle which will make him come out on top.
AAA: Fissure vs Sae - i think Fissure's record can be credited to the amount of work he has been putting in all tour. i've heard the centi's AAA channel has the most lines out of any in their cord, and it seems like he's got other teammates interested in the tier too. Sae has been playing mostly STAB this tour so its hard to say what he'll come up with here but he is a pretty good player so it will be a good game nonetheless.


Mossdeep Murkrows (2) vs. Viridian Vivillons (1)

SS: Star vs kythr - as leru likes to say, star has been the krow's cheatcode all tour long and will continue to provide for them.
Threat: TonyFlygon vs ToxaNex - Tony has won their last 2 encounters but both teams put immense prep into this slot and i think this time will be different when Nex pulls through to win it.
AAA: Sabella vs The Number Man - i'm not sure who to pick here, while TNM has played AAA all tour and is very familiar with it, word around is that Sabella knows it pretty well too. its going to be a battle of the brains and i feel like the winner will just overall have a better team than the other.

good luck to both teams, looking forward to those i picked against to prove me wrong!
 
These predictions are 100% unbias for those who take these things to heart.

Circhester Centiskorchers (2) vs. Po Town Pandas (1)

SS: Shiba vs Floss - The UU veteran has been playing our mono tours for a bit and I have to say he's really popped off this time around. Atm he has a 6-1 record with solid teams and great play all around. On the other side you have Floss who was considered one of the best builders of the last DLC. However I don't think he's in the best form at the moment, last week he rushed his team choices vs someone who is known for being very linear in the builder. If prep took more time, I think those team choices and game play would be more solid. If we can say some MPL6 Floss energy he can take this (especially in the builder) but right now consistancy matters more so my pick is Shiba.

Bo3: Trichotomy vs Attribute - The highlight for sure. Attribute has had an impressive tour so far after always coming short years prior. He even beat me last week with some ballsy team choices that ended up working out for him. However his opponent is nobody to underestimate. While I admit Trich has very linear team choices that can be taken advantage of, he is the better player here. The last time they played Trich came out on top winning in 2 games.(Mono seeded finals) He's also not a very passive player and isn't afraid to pull the trigger when needed to secure wins. Attribute is more crafty in the builder at least which is a positive here. Its worth considering that when he likes something, he tends to use it alot as well without realising it. I think Trich takes this in 3, especially with him taking his time with prep. I expect to see some crazy heat from attribute who can for sure win here, but trich is favored for me.

Fissure vs Sae - Ngl bro Fissures been farming this entire pool LMAO i haven't seen him not pull up with a solid team and solid prep. I believe in an upset here however seeing his opponent. Sae is one of the better OM players and his creativity across the MONO OMS over the years speak for themselves. Realistically Fissure should be favored just off his dominant performance but I got faith in Sae here. Idk much about OMS to speak about team choices so just a gut feeling here.

Mossdeep Murkrows (2) vs. Viridian Vivillons (1)
SS: Star vs Kythr - Ngl I don't get this pick from the vivillons, imo you put trash in here whos a great player no matter the tier but this will do. Kythr has had some sloppy endgames in the first couple of weeks which can be troubling. He's decent for sure, but little slip ups like that can't happen in high pressure situations. His opponent is on the top of the Monotype sheet despite not even maining the tier or keeping up with meta shifts ect, and has basically farmed this entire pool besides getting lucked one week. Nothing much to say here, expect another fish from kythr into a terrible match up.

Threat: Tony vs Toxanex - Sometimes I believe we give the mainers a little too much credit, and the tournament players not enough. Going into this tour nex was known as one of the better monothreat players, being able to build and play it at a decent level. Despite never being bolded at all, Tony has went 5-3 with some dominant play. Also hes going positive with Monothreat Support from... Star leru and himself? I couldn't be more shocked looking at the krows threat channel every week to see him have so many lines, while also managing 2 other team tours. All that aside though, Tony has smashed nex not only on the battlefield but in the builder as well, despite having no threat experience ever. I predict a lavos situation where Tony goes 3-0 vs nex. This was 100% a flex pick btw because no way you pick threat for a tiebreak. Will see how this goes but gotta favor the better player.

AAA: Sabella vs The Number Man - The dude on the left is my mans but theres no way he plays this tier. Metagame experience comes best here especially in the jungle that is AAA, and while Sabellas the better player I expect some crazy BS from TNM that wins like turn 20.

S/O to all the tournament players that came out to play this tour with us, you guys have been impressive. Hope to see you guys in MPL.
