Khaetis vs OB - I believe Khaetis' offensive play is solid enough to bring home the W here
Enigami vs Koalacance - Koala comes with dangerous playing ability, the question is if his NU is solid enough to put Enigami into difficult spots
Lord Thorx vs pac - tough one, pac hasn't won yet but on a good week I think he can pull a win here

hf Ika, let's see who goes 3-0!​
 
wk1: 14/29
wk2: 15/27 or 28 (do we count games where 1 player is subbed? unclear)
1 ahead of ape, epic

ggs duckletts fun games, the dpp series decider was particularly exciting.
go team, hf braviaries

(5) Rabioots vs Neo Siphylis Sigilyphs (5)
SS: Kushalos vs mncmt - definitely a highlight, favoring kush who seems to be on fire right now
SS: xavgb vs Meri Berry - the brit vs the person i thought was a brit for like a year. rly liked xavgb's team last wk -- looked better than his week 1 to me, i really liked the scrafty pick. cool mon. should be a good game for sure but favoring stresh
SS: freezai vs ProDigeZz - he owned me in nu last chance with eterrain and trick room, think hes also generally good overall so glad to see him playing here
SM: banks vs Askov - apparently rabia thinks they have clinched playoffs and subbed out quziel... bold move. jk (probably) but askov has been good in this tier
ORAS: Luck O' the Irish vs Spl4sh - irish (w/ quziel support, too, but also a strong ORASer in his own right) is doing great, the brs have struggled in oras
BW: Nalorium vs Monai - Nalo won last wk off timer :smogduck: not that that's a point against him rofl but i think i had him near the bottom of my PR so if Monai will get it going any week this is the week
DPP: Heysup vs Beraldinho - with wins over fatty and HSOWA beraldinho is killing it, very happy to see it. gonna bold him against Heysup because sure why not
ADV: Wamr vs Hyogafodex - big fan of hyoga, we've tested a bunch in adv uu / dpp ou and i think hes a very solid player
GSC: vani vs Siatam - sheet (sry dont know this tier)
RBY: Enigami vs Koalacance - consensus better rbyer


(3) Lullaby Vullabies vs Dewford Duckletts (7)
SS: EternalSnowman vs sensei axew - sensei is so cool and good at pokemon
SS: Ark vs OnArceus - onarceus is even cooler and about as good as pokemon
SS: Sabella vs daniYSB - dani's coolness and pokemon skill are still up in the air, but he has done well in side tours like TLT and probably cares more about SS NU than almost anyone. had a rough mu + some tilting turns last week, hopefully he can change his style and come up w something cool (or receive a nice tech from sensei, onarceus, aawin, etc)
USUM: QWILY vs poh - QWILY is a very solid player, see him putting up good records in a lot of these. think poh took himself out of the game last wk w/ a team that sigilyph walked over so trust qwily more here
ORAS: Abejas vs Kiyo - not dead?? he brought camel last wk and it looked sick
BW: atomicllamas vs Togkey - llamas is a very solid player that I like a lot and often try to get in these subforum tours but togkey has insane momentum right now and is 100% the protagonist of the neverused snake draft
DPP: fatty vs HSOWA - huge highlight, like em both, fairly arbitrary bold but ik fatty's on a roll lately with a crazy record in DPP this UUSD.
ADV: shiloh vs Jisoo - jisoo's killing it this tour just like he did last tour, will that continue if i finally bold him? unsure but he deserves it
GSC: Earthworm vs Lunala - :psywoke: jk luna won lol
RBY: Lord Thorx vs pac - i dont rby, i thought pac was bad ngl but apparently hes like 4-1 in uusd so nevermind. he is 0-2 here but ik he tries hard so ill give him the "upset"

(5) Pablominables vs Shiny Charizards (5)
SS: Raptor vs Star - repeat of a ru matchup where raptor won w/ luck, rate star super highly and think he'll get revenge here. he might even post it in the ru thread for good measure
SS: GW vs S1nn0hC0nfirm3d - fuck it. gw is back, the curse is over, time for another W. ho3n might fuck around a bit too much in the builder for this mu
SS: Davon vs GoldCat - i /pick -ed this one ngl - think both are a little bit above average
SM: HSA vs Xiri - didnt like hsa's game vs ava that much tho his wk1 win was impressive, gonna go w xiri who generally seems more solid
ORAS: Garay oak vs Highways - garays def motivated to put wins on the board at 0-2 in a pool he's expected to dominate (and after being lucked last week), think highways is still tryna get a handle on the tier
BW: Lily vs NHelioX7 - i was gonna pick lily last week but then changed it before posting :/ i was then gonna pick lily this week but the game already happened. next week is your week dw
DPP: Staxi vs Void - their team last week was kinda a miss but i'll stick w the staxi bold in the hopes they get the build right this wk
ADV: Raichy vs Roseybear - rosey is rly good at adv in these tours
GSC: d0nut vs Diophantine - pretty arbitrary
RBY: Serpi vs Ika Ika Musume - top rbyer
 
Expulso quz would've played but he's busy!!! ik we don't clinch playoffs until we beat your team :puff:


Surfin' Servines (6) vs (4) Bulk Up Braviarys
SS: Confide vs TJ - strong pilots, favor confide because I think his SS support is better than TJ's
SS: Thiago Nunes vs avarice - I just wanna forget the avarice v HSA game from last week..
SS: zS vs Elias PSY - it is rapidly appearing that Elias's wack teams aren't cutting it in this tour; I'm just predicting against the cold streak rly
SM: Feliburn vs EviGaro - the queen is back in her tier and has likely tested 5733 different Mismagius teams already. this is the highest SM match of the week between two of the most proficient players in the pool. Feli's been pretty solid so far, narrowly losing w1 and loading a really strong mu w/ the Sigil last week. I think Evi will be motivated to get things going right this week, especially given she's in a more familiar setting
ORAS: robjr vs gorex - slain by kid kiyo, robjr will look to make up for that this week
BW: INSULT vs cb aaron judge
DPP: LpZ vs Bughouse - the inedible crust is less stale than imagined
ADV: ArcticBreeze vs neomon - genuinely just don't know too much about Monsareeasy :x just favoring the guy whose experience in the tier I'm more in tune with
GSC: Estarossa vs Holly - that's it, I'm officially a blind cult follower. I've drunken the kool aid and will never again question Holly's position in this meta. she is simply put the ceo of gsc nu
RBY: Khaetis vs Oiseau Bleu - something about top-3 player vs middle-of-the-pack player. it's rby, so there's really no winner here.

Lullaby Vullabies (2) vs Dewford Duckletts (8)
SS: EternalSnowman vs sensei axew - my 2nd highest rated ss nu player, gonna just assume he wins this
SS: Ark vs OnArceus - idt i can bold against onarc ever again idgaf if he loads 5 nfes with a kangaskhan he'll somehow make it work. ark isnt an nu player by any stretch and is gonna be rly reliant on his team support here to pass him something good; the problem is prepping for onarc is just rly hard LOL
SS: Sabella vs daniYSB - sabella's sole game so far was kinda dreadful i cant lie. tough outing last week for dani but this is a good rebound chance for him imo
SM: QWILY vs poh - idt poh gets as shitty a mu as he did last week, dont really know qwily that much either rip
ORAS: Abejas vs Kiyo - highlight match of the entire tour as we aim to find out which rusty ass oras player is less not-bad than the other
BW: atomicllamas vs Togkey - turns out togkey cares about these random ass metas more than anyone else LMAO like i said last week bro will put a lot of effort into prepwork, and it worked wonders as he defeated insult. expecting something similar here against someone a bit less highly rated albeit still strong
DPP: fatty vs HSOWA - i need brew to lose this week so that he gets tilted in fantasy football ahah.. idt either player has played up to their expectations thus far, but i still rate this as an insanely hype mu
ADV: shiloh vs Jisoo - bolding jisoo every week, ESPECIALLY against shiloh...
GSC: Earthworm vs Lunala
RBY: Lord Thorx vs pac - rby nu lets fucking GOOOOOOOOOOOO

Pablominables (7) vs (3) Shiny Charizards
SS: Raptor vs Star - i really dont have much to say here other than i think star is a top-3 overall player in the pool and so long as he remembers that this is nu and not ru, he should be good to win this week
SS: GW vs S1nn0hC0nfirm3d - i've predicted against gw too many times in the recent few weeks. he does seem motivated to show people he isnt trash now tho and i think ho3n is a volatile enough opp to where he could slam this mu hard
SS: Davon vs GoldCat - did not like goldcat's performance last week (sike i loved it cuz he lost vs my team), agree w/ expulso that these are p similar playing caliber players so im just going with the dude known for nu (despite goldcat being number 1 seed in circuit playoffs LMAO)
SM: HSA vs Xiri - i have fewer problems w/ xiri's last week performance than i do hsa's, and i rate xiri super highly in sm.
ORAS: Garay oak vs Highways - highways is a great player but idt he's very adept at this meta. there's a very good chance we see yama / lix / xatu / plume / liepard / clef out of him and that would upset me greatly
BW: Lily vs NHelioX7
DPP: Staxi vs Void - i like staxi
ADV: Raichy vs Roseybear - i also like raichy
GSC: d0nut vs Diophantine - im ass at this tier but dio has looked quite poor
RBY: Serpi vs Ika Ika Musume - rby roulette moment, but serpi has looked rly strong so far
 
My SS predicts for the week. I have no clue how I did last week, but because I predicted the same as Expulso, I probably got them all wrong.

Surfin' Servines vs Bulk Up Braviarys
SS: Confide vs TJ - Let's
SS: Thiago Nunes vs avarice - Go
SS: zS vs Elias PSY - Servines :)

Rabioots vs Neo Siphylis Sigilyphs
SS: Kushalos vs mncmt - I have no clue who will win, but in general I've liked Kush's teams more this tour, so I'm gonna bold the 16th highest rated player here.
SS: xavgb vs Meri Berry - Please never ever use mono EQ Gunfisk ever again tyty. I blame you Rabia.
SS: freezai vs ProDigeZz - I have no clue how well ProDigezz will play, but freezai has been solid so far. I wouldn't be surprised if I'm wrong here.

Lullaby Vullabies vs Dewford Duckletts
SS: EternalSnowman vs sensei axew - Sensei Axew is just the better NU player here, but EternalSnowman doesn't seem to be a slouch at all from the replays I watched. I think if he preps well, this could be an upset.
SS: Ark vs OnArceus - This man brought Eggy-A twice. That's it. That's all that matters.
SS: Sabella vs daniYSB - Dani will bring something solid and is overall a good player. Meanwhile, I haven't been too impressed with Sabella's teams or play off their hiatus. EDIT: While writing this I saw that Sabella v dani isn't happening, so ig DANI v corthiass.

Pablominables vs Shiny Charizards
SS: Raptor vs Star - I've been really liking Star's teams this tour more than I've liked Raptor's. Just solid balances that I could see myself using, so I'm going to pick them.
SS: GW vs S1nn0hC0nfirm3d - I think this could be the GW bounceback week, but I'm not so sure it'll be an easy one. Ho3n will prep and build something cool for this mu.
SS: Davon vs GoldCat - I think Davon is probably more consistent than Goldcat, but I don't think this is close to free. Both are good players that I see as evenly matched. It'll be a good one.
