Mischievous Magearnas (3) vs Team Name TBD (2)
SSOU1:
xray vs Diophantine: i don't rly think this mu is cool, but it's very indicative of one of the biggest issues with this tournament: since all the slots are SS OU, you run the risk of having your worst player face the other team's best player. also, while the player pool in this tournament is surprisingly strong, there is a clear dropoff. combining these two factors can lead to some... interesting mus.
SSOU2:
BIHI vs Sage: i also don't rly think this mu is that cool, but i like how a lot of lower tier and old gen players are jumping into SS OU. seems to be happening more than with SM. maybe it's because dexit removed a lot of familiar OU mons, maybe it's because dynamax is so epic.
SSOU3: Erzengel vs
Eo Ut Mortus
SSOU4:
xImRaptor vs EviGaro
SSOU5: Savouras
vs Finchinator: sav is the type of player to use insane god level shit that kills some of the more well rounded top players (see: WCoP). finch is the definition of tried and true, so normally i predict an upset against him when he's matched vs players like these. however, due to the unpredictability of SS OU, i think it's just as likely that finch brings some broken dumb shit. the "standard" right now is ditto and darmanitan, two insane pokemon lol.
SSOU6: King Kdot vs
bugzinator
Lecherous Lucarios (8) vs Galarian Mannats (0)
SSOU1:
@llliolae vs maroon
SSOU2:
0NI vs Updated Kanto
SSOU3:
Eternal Spirit vs Alkione
SSOU4:
Sabella vs Cam
SSOU5:
Askov vs Twixtry
SSOU6:
1 True Lycan vs shawyu 1313
go team. this is the first tour where i just drafted all good players instead of 2 good players and a bunch of literal insane people goons, so let's hope this strategy works
Extreme Eloboosters (4) vs Gigamax Gulpins (2)
SSOU1:
Insult vs Luthier: closer than it looks tho, iirc luthier was actually tearing up ladder.
SSOU2:
Sayuze vs Raiza
SSOU3:
Hayburner vs Zesty43
SSOU4:
Descending vs Sjneider: upset pick. neider probably doesn't care about this tour at all, whereas descending has a p strong track record in unofficials. neiders the better player tho.
SSOU5: Vulpix03 vs
Jrdn: p close one. in tour player circles, both are very underrated i'd say, but in the circles that are managing this tour, vulp is probably a bit overrated. both try a moderate amount in these tours though, actually a cool one imo.
SSOU6: WhiteFerret21 vs
snaga
