Time n Trace (8) vs Goldenrod City Suicunes (2)
SV: Kushalos vs Kate - same records so pretty close game on paper but I think kush should still win this one since he knows more about the tier and is a talented builder - 60/40
SV: Lana vs asa - they fought w1 and it was a pretty close game with similar teams and Lana won. However asa showed good adaptation by using the same necrozma set who made the difference in that game later in the tour against JustFranco and won with it quite easily showing they are serious in learning the tier and make good game preparations. Close game but Lana showed less honest teams than asa so I'll give them the edge. 55-45
SV: FlamPoke vs Tsuki - Of course that mu had to happen in finals. Probably the hypest match this week (close with sm and oras imo) but fp is having a way better tournament than Tsuki so I will bold him. I think he is better in game, partly because he practices more and is less prone to stress (at least from what I can see). Tsuki can definitely win this one with good prep, fp's teambuilding arsenal is quite large but there are some holes that can be taken advantage of. 60-40
SV: feen vs Lily - I'm making this post mainly with Lily's tiebreak game in mind which was, well unoptimized let's say so I'm bolding feen. I think he knows the tier more and takes this tour a little more seriously. 60-40
SV: SPHZ vs Cielau - the saving grace of the Goldenrod's SV linup, I don't know a whole lot about SPHZ tbh but I think it's the first time I'll see them play SV so naturally I think Cielau is more comfortable in that matchup. 35-65
SS: OranBerryBlissey10 vs The Strap - I don't know much about SS so I'm inclined to bold the best record with is OBB so far, plus he won their last face-off in w1. 55-45
SM: DugZa vs EviGaro - Both are undoubtably very good but I'll bold DugZa because I believe he is more consistent. 55-45
ORAS: MrAldo vs fran17 - Cool mu in a tier that has kinda been losing its reputation of being boring lately thanks to a bunch of great games we've seen in this tour. Both are good in ORAS and have proved it in the past, I think Aldo is more likely to win this game because he looks more motivated by the tier. 55-45
BW: SBPC vs TyCarter - I haven't been following BW that much but this slot feels like the weakest in terms of tier knowledge for both linups. I'll bold TyCarter because I've seen more of them in the RU community. 45-55
ADV: BigFatMantis vs SpoiledBerries - Great matchup with two mainers so that's always interesting. Unfortunately, I'm not super knowledgeable when it comes to ADV but I'd say BFM is more solid in general. 55-45
Lots of close matchups but TnTs are heavily favored here in my opinion, altho by essence SV is very flippy at the moment so I could see the Goldenrods winning because their SVs used this to their advantage.
