Team Yveltal (1) vs. Team Zarude (1)
Damn zarude really went into Gen 8 trying to brute force they way into poffs with their monster trio! Yveltal picking bssf seems wise on paper, let's see how the thingie goes
Gen 9 Random Battle: pokeblade101 vs LoSconosciuto - Two great players who have faced each others many time on many circumstances. This time they're not dodging each others and frankly this one will come down either to match up or to nerves but that's to be expected in a tiebreaker
Gen 8 Random Battle: Glop vs Sylveon used calm mind - I said earlier that it would be suicidal for zarude to go into gen8 and have them run into glop/blade/luisin action, but hey, sylveon is a great player as well and has nothing left to prove in what is actually their best tier. I was, all joke aside, excepting gen4 with some SMB action but gen8 is our least-likely-to-be-decided-by-t1 format rn so it makes sense to try to put your best player there.
Gen 8 BSS Factory: luisin vs teresbahji - this one should in theory be the easy pick since luisin has been dominating the tier and teres, although his versatility is not to put in question here, is in the format where I think he's the least experienced here. If there is an upset, imo, this is the format where it's the least likely to happen.

Note that I'm not committing here but it's very hard for me to pick a potential winner and I look forward to see the games

Wooo finals lesgo good luck to everyone

Team Latias vs Team Yveltal
Gen 9 Random Battle: JJ09LIE vs pokeblade101 - jj is strong but so is blade, it will mostly come down to match up to blade's mindset while entering the game. Latias have been shaking their lineup a lot but i'll come back to it later
Gen 8 Random Battle: Tuthur vs Glop - Glop being one of the mvps of rbtt6 it's hard to bold against them. Tuthur back at gen8 after venturing here and there, we'll see how it goes (and still no gen8 sunsets idk what you guys were thinking but whatever)
Gen 7 Random Battle: Lalaya vs Legendary - I just want to be a party breaker and hope that lalaya don't get the 6-0 because I'm meaner than your average commentator
Gen 6 Random Battle: Sylvi vs Buhrito - Sylvi back from the dead after Leru's departure, Buhrito has proven to be good at the game and has gotten more rbtt experience so it seems reasonable to bold them here
Gen 4 Random Battle: Aquaa vs Dj Breloominati♬- Aqua back in full swing despite the weird slotting
Gen 3 Random Battle: Ereshkigal vs xGang - xGang is the best historical gen3 player vs Eresh is a lucky french player that specifically plays well when I'm not the one drafting him so I'm not supporting him anymore >:c (jk but I still think xgang has the edge here)
Gen 1 Random Battle: MichaelderBeste2 vs nicomirra123 - Leru cancered, and imo this is a slight mistake from Latias to put mdb2 here. Lady Writer has been cooking very good stuff in rby rands lately and this looks like a huge missed opportunity, while Michael would have been a perfect mbox slot with a wide variety of formats covered that LW might have yet to catch up with. Reverting the two slots would have been the thing to do. Still bolding michael as the superior rands player he's supposed to be but I can see it go wrong in a blink as nico is also quite strong
Gen 9 Hackmons Cup: sunsets vs platinumCheesecake - week 11 of not slotting sunsets on the correct slot but whatever, I know platty is cursed so I don't want that curse to ruin my predictions further
Gen 8 Battle Factory: Hacker vs kythr - kythr still in a hard time with an unfortunate season, but the match up is rather equal so can go either way
Gen 8 BSS Factory: Dragonillis vs luisin - luisin has proven even further that he's on fire
Gen 8 Random Doubles Battle: Eeveon7 vs Memoric - if we were to make a pr before r1 I would probably have expected Memoric to come on top of the rankings, while Eeveon7 was yet to prove anything. After all these weeks, despite the early forfeits and all, I don't think Eeveon has yet to catch their opponent in this format
Mystery Box: Lady Writer vs LordST - LW over Michael feels odd to me but whatever, LW is still a great player with maybe a bit more craftiness than LST but this can go either way. I really don't know what formats they may pick but I expect pick 6 bring 12 gen7 for sure from either

im washed at battling! here is the start of my career as a pundit:

Team Latias (4.5) vs Team Yveltal (7.5)
Gen 9 Random Battle: JJ09LIE vs pokeblade101
Blade has, for 3+ generations now, been one of the first to hit 90% GXE on current gen ladders. Clearly the leader at the modern randomized formats, so long as he has a decent team. As goes with all of these matchups, his opponent JJ09LIE is more intelligent enough to win on a matchup differential/rng/blade choke. The real losers are blade’s mons who he’ll work to the bone, pivoting in and out more often than the rands chat asking for a Scovillain ban

Gen 8 Random Battle: Tuthur vs Glop
Glop is genuinely intelligent. Tuthur can work a favorable matchup. Edge to Glop even if it means a cringey winpost using his name as a verb

Gen 7 Random Battle: Lalaya vs Legendary
Lalaya has been in fine form, but Legendary has been winning since RBTT2

Gen 6 Random Battle: Sylvi vs Buhrito
Buhrito is pretty funny and strikes me as one of the more chill but skilled battlers here

Gen 4 Random Battle: Aquaa vs DJ Breloominati
This is tough. Aqua has come back from a hiatus to his full power in a lower gen; Spitfire is an all-around good players that reminds me a lot of GXE. Edge to Spitfire for personal reasons (bork)

Gen 3 Random Battle: Ereshkigal vs xGang
From better performances over rbtt. Both players are specialists and top in this tier

Gen 1 Random Battle: MichaelderBeste2 vs nicomirra123
Michael’s patience and overall game sense give him an expected advantage in the rng-infamous format

Gen 9 Hackmons Cup: sunsets vs platinumCheesecake
platty’s sheer experience playing this tier for years favor him. In contrast, sunsets has had great success in gen 8 randbats and other formats etc so his skill is more than enough.

Gen 8 Battle Factory: Hacker vs kythr
I am not too familiar with either

Gen 8 BSS Factory: Dragonillis vs Luisin
Both are great. Luisin has struck me as a smart player when we’ve played gen 8 rands, enough to cross over to “tiered” formats.

Gen 8 Random Doubles Battle: Eeveon7 vs Memoric
I have no particular bias here. Solid campaigns from both with Memoric sometimes leaving games early where he sees little winpaths. Maybe Eeveon’s mental fortitude will make the difference?

Mystery Box: Lady Writer vs LordST
Gotta go with the lady rizzler here.

Gen 1 Random Battle: MichaelderBeste2 vs nicomirra123

platty is old and has played this tier for too long
