m.A.A.d. City Magmortars (5) vs (5) Pokestar Pranksters
SV: fish anemometer vs Beraldo - the x-1 started last week and i expect it to continue, baldo is no pushover but def a lot easier than asa
SV: Tuthur vs Larry - larry's got more wins and vs more impressive opponents
SV: Drud vs DripLegend - drip got his head in the game last week but i think this is another drud MU where he's behind in meta knowledge but a way better clicker
SS: Dj Breloominati♬ vs gum - bolding against gum in SS feels wrong and this is like, the one MU where i'd consider it
SM: ManOfMany vs Sylveon used calm mind - i just haven't liked what many's been cookin lately
ORAS: TheKingKarp vs Kiyo - tko losers bracket, liked tkk's win better of the two though
BW: dawn to the dusk vs triple axel blaze - i've heard good things about this guy, apparently he's cracked, altho BW seems to be a sacrifice slot this tour
DPP: BeatsBlack vs Bag of Trixx - better record and put up a better fight vs heysup
ADV: Monai vs Lily - really shitty MU vs carter, think she bounces back here but monai is def the guy to give her a run for her money
Bo3: pdt vs mncmt - he's been on fire so far, pdt is that guy but i haven't been super impressed with his run this tour so far

420 Houndstoners (4) vs (6) Haunter x Haunter
SV: sufys vs MZ - sufys got gamed a bit last week, don't think he's helpless here but mz right after a loss is a tough break, esp since mz himself said he's p high on sufys so i doubt he underestimates him. feel like this game is gonna come down to which player's weird tech finds its target
SV: tier vs Cielau - tier's loss w1 was vs ho3n so i can't really count that against him, i am high on tier acid
SV: Axrtix vs Floss - this is more even than i think most people would assume at first glance but i def still think floss has a better shot
SS: Piyu vs Tenebricite - MY GOAT ON THE LINEUP YOU LOVE TO SEE IT, this guy is super cracked
SM: maki vs PTF - ptf's been on a roll and i don't think he's stopping any time soon
ORAS: avarice vs tko - i'd like to issue a formal apology here, last pupl blinded me, was not familiar w your ORAS game, please don't lose and make me look like a jackass
BW: Feaniix vs Guille - calling the upset here, been super high on guille as of late and while he did get the roughest draw possible for his first two games feaniix is still 0-2
DPP: dunoks vs Heysup - if i ever bold against heysup that's your sign i've been kidnapped or replaced by bodysnatchers
ADV: goldmason vs TyCarter - ty did admittedly beat lily even if he rolled a pretty good matchup, this is def his moment to prove it wasn't a fluke
Bo3: Danny vs DugZa - danny's been riding the hotseat this tour and i was a little disappointed in doug last week

The Gargantuan Golurks (2) vs (8) SCREAM QUEEN LOORS
SV: Taka vs lax - taka i love you but your builds this tour have not been hitting, this game could def flip depending on if the kyuss/zS sauce hits or not tho
SV: Bouff vs nada e ninguem - coming in hot after beating best in pool, very excited to see what he does next
SV: Seraphz vs Baloor - i think the kou ban is gonna give loor motivation akin to that finnish soldier who took like fifteen doses of meth
SS: azogue vs Mada - sad to see hera get benched so soon :( this feels like another case of "is the zS sauce gonna hit?"
SM: Xiri vs robjr - think rob needs a little spice in the builder, has def shown he's mortal in these past couple weeks but i still believe in him to pull through
ORAS: crying vs teddeh - crying's tech just has not been hitting so far, i do think this is fairly even fwiw but bolding the vs is for LOSERS
BW: LpZ vs SergioRules - and on the third week of PUPL X, he beat sergio, and It Was Good. (this is more even than i'm letting on but bolding against LpZ feels dumb)
DPP: frankjosh vs Leni - iron chef frank has yet to see a real challenge i think but if anyone will match him in his ability to cook wack shit it's leni
ADV: A plague doc vs Parpar - parpar's been coming to grips with this tier fast, definitely a very scary MU esp for someone not nearly as versed in the tier as his previous opponents
Bo3: justdrew vs zS - another one that's a lot more even than i'm letting on imo, but zS has been winning and drew hasn't so if there was ever a time for drew to go stevie wonder 2 tha bullshit it'd be now

good luck all and GOOOOOO SNATCHERS!!!!

Week 2 prediction success: 21/30

Too many of this series are near-flips for me to confidently say Pranksters win, if anything this is the series I most expect to tie
m.A.A.d. City Magmortars (4) vs (6) Pokestar Pranksters
SV: fish anemometer vs Beraldo - Beraldo hasn't been bad but he is land-dwelling
SV: Tuthur vs Larry - if Tuthur doesn't make my prediction score better I'm throwing all my SMPL games
SV: Drud vs DripLegend - Drud is another player I have a lot of faith in
SS: Dj Breloominati♬ vs gum - very strong match that could go either way
SM: ManOfMany vs Sylveon used calm mind - wasn't super impressed by many's debut, but plenty of time to turn that around
ORAS: TheKingKarp vs Kiyo - better last week
BW: dawn to the dusk vs triple axel blaze - both of these teams are 0-2 in BW and I have no idea how much either of these players even knows the tier, so I'll just go with the person who has a confirmed game of it week 1
DPP: BeatsBlack vs Bag of Trixx - Trixx has had some pretty hard opponents the first 2 weeks for that 0-2 start, but also that isn't really stopping so
ADV: Monai vs Lily - just don't bring rain again
Bo3: pdt vs mncmt - looking a bit better so far but I'm not confident in this predict either

I expect this to tie less than the above series despite my prediction
Malignant Chain Snatchers (5) vs (5) Goofy Goober Goodras
SV: S1nn0hC0nfirm3d vs ishtar - highlight of the week? I think Snatchers SV overall has looked a bit stronger than Goodras but again, either way
SV: Ampha vs Bella - that 2-0 start is looking pretty strong
SV: feen vs asa - in charge of a better tier
SS: OranBerryBlissey10 vs Meru - Meru's had a real rough tour goddamn
SM: sugar ovens vs Estarossa - other potential highlight, I love SM gaming and esta's already proved me dead wrong in 2 weeks. After I beat sugar ovens in SMPL they're gonna be more motivated to win this
ORAS: Alice Kazumi vs Aberforth - better first weeks
BW: Tack vs EviGaro - wait actually maybe this one is the highlight game ngl. Tack is on fire so far, I don't wanna hold a week 1 stall mu against evi too much... idk
DPP: HSOWA vs JabbaTheGriffin - damn this whole series is really good, idk how to bold half the games
ADV: plznostep vs Slowbroth - my goat
Bo3: Suzuya vs Thiago Nunes - respectable losses for both but Thiago's already picked up a pdt win. When has induction ever gone wrong?

If either of these teams takes a loss it'll be pretty rough, but I think I rate Loors here
The Gargantuan Golurks (4) vs (6) SCREAM QUEEN LOORS
SV: Taka vs lax - I rate taka and I doubt lax has played much sv PU but he's good + kyuss building + 0-2 start on the other end
SV: Bouff vs nada e ninguem - another highlight, Bouff has the 2-0 but nada played 2 of the top 3 rated players and came out looking strong
SV: Seraphz vs Baloor - kinda 50/50 on this one but seraphz has been doing better so far?
SS: azogue vs Mada - hera fully out of rotation so fast is kinda wild, I'm not sure if azogue has ever played ss pu?
SM: Xiri vs robjr - tbh rob has not had a good start, and I stand by him needing new stuff to mix it up with
ORAS: crying vs teddeh - could be an interesting one, but crying still meditite'd week 1
BW: LpZ vs SergioRules - glad Sergio is free, could be a tough start
DPP: frankjosh vs Leni - looked stronger so far
ADV: A plague doc vs Parpar - looked stronger so far
Bo3: justdrew vs zS - I know drew is highly motivated after the danny set last week but zS has been looking like the strongest bo3 player so far

GL all but especially Haunters
