Putting ADV predicts here since I forgot to do it last week

ADV: Queen of Bean vs Cbass97

Queen of Bean is simply the better pilot and I feel like despite Stantler's giant support here QoB can load any mon into Cbass making her unpredictable and with Cbass having to climb uphill here.

ADV: BigFatMantis vs zS

Both of the Rapidashers one on one, but I feel like BFM has a groove going ever since he made a Sun team win, but zS can definitely make magic happen with the right team too.

ADV: SEA vs Medeia

SEA's game last week was a lil bit of a blunder on the account of Toxic misses and booming on Toed, but I feel after that game she'll know her way around a little bit more in practice. I haven't liked Medeia's team too much last week and I feel like there's a bit more holes in her building SEA might know how to exploit.

ADV: SpoiledBerries vs avarice

Berries simply knows the tier a bit better, but this seems about evenly matched as long as both pilot good teams well.
 
Week 1: 18/32
Overall: 18/32

Team Liquidation (3) vs (5) Sassy Stantlers

SV: toinha vs Shaymin Sky - being honest, neither of these had a really convincing debut. While Shaymin Sky got swept by a necrozma, toinha almost threw his game in a winning position. However, I still don't see a reason to bold Shaymin Sky since I don't know them and their game was ungreat, so I am going with toinha.
SV: TyCarter vs Eternal Spirit - Both lost in week 1 and TyCarter got unlucky in his game, but I would also say Gama's team was quite bad and it landed in a bad matchup. I think it's more likely to see TyCarter losing 2 games in a row than Gama, though.
SV: FlamingoPokeman vs Corperate n - This time we have a matchup with both players who won last week, which is interesting. I gotta say that Flamingo didn't play his game very well, though, and got damn lucky with those flinches, while Corp had a clean and convincing win against hoops who is also a good player. This is probably one of the best mus of this week, so I am excited to see how it will go, but Flamingo will need to prove me wrong once more.
SS: xXcrossbowXx vs HaxxSel - Crossbow fucked up on timer and ended up losing, but I would say he played a good game since he was in a winning position when he timed out. In the other hand, Haxxsel won against a better player and I have already said that I think he's one of the most underrated RU players, so I don't see a reason not to bold him again.
SM: roxie vs LpZ - lpz is the goat.
ORAS: Oathkeeper vs Miyami~~~ - Miyami is way more experienced in the tier and played a close game against Aldo, who is the 2nd best player in this ORAS pool. Despite Miyami's team being kinda weird, Oath decided to bring the worst venusaur set of all time, so I don't think his team was any better really.
BW: neomon vs Tack - Tack's game last week was not the best and they only won due to a lucky superpower dodge and I am still excited to see what neomon will cook in this tour.
ADV: Queen of Bean vs Cbass97 - Even though I understand nothing about this tier, I would say cbass's team was kinda weird, but in all fairness it also seems to have landed in a bad matchup. In the other hand, QoB got hella lucky, but it doesn't mean she didn't play a good against against one of the best ADV players in the world. There is no reason not to bold her.

Fullmetal Alcremies (4) vs (4) Fino Fennekins

SV: LBN vs myjava - U never know what the hell LBN is cooking and his unpredictability might lead him to one more win, however, myjava is the better player and has Lime's support, who will take LBN's building into consideration and will probably find a way to give him player a good matchup.
SV: Seraphz vs justdrew - drew commited not one, but TWO insane crimes in his game: 1- he tera'd his bike; 2- he let his conkeldurr get knocked. Seraphz won against one of the strongest players in the tournament. I have nothing else to say.
SV: HoopsspooH vs sufys - Hoops is probably ladder experienced enough to have his ways to beat HO.
SS: SOMALIA vs Ryuji - Ryuji didn't play particularly well, but he still beat the strongest player in the pool.
SM: FadedCharm vs RaJ.Shoot - fadedcharm seems to be playing 2028 SM RU, but sometimes thinking too much about the future isn't a great thing. Raj didn't play last week but he's a solid player so I am expecting a RaJ.Shoot win in 2024. Maybe in 2028 things would be different.
ORAS: MrAldo vs Fragments - Aldo is really good at this tier and fragments lucked his way into a win.
BW: Mister McLovin vs TDR - That mclovin game was bad, but he should've won with neutral luck. TDR, however, fucked his game up and ended up losing, even though losing to Franklin is nothing to be ashamed of. I hope this is a good watch and not only one more HO vs HO.
ADV: BigFatMantis vs zS - I liked the way zs played his game a lot and I also loved the team he used. BFM's team was also very cool but it seems to be kinda fishy, and I don't think something like that is gonna work against zS.

The Snow Warners (5) vs (3) The Canadiancies

SV: hi.naming is hard vs Yaily - Gew is very good and found a winpath against toinha despite being in an ungood position, but toinha's moltres was very well trained and Gew lost anyways. Yaily loaded a very cool team which makes me excited to see what he will cook for this week, but I am bolding Gew here cuz I liked the way he played his game a lot. Should be a great watch so good luck to both.
SV: yovan33321 vs BeTheShadow - yovan loaded a very weird team, almost threw his game for no reason and I think betheshadow played well last week, but I still think yovan is the better player here and this should be one more win for him.
SV: Drud vs Ming549 - 0-2 Drud in this pool is very weird, but I think ming is the type of guy to make this happen. This is probably one of the highlights of the week for me so I really hope this will be a cool watch.
SS: RyuSnowシ vs feen - Feen played a good game against cielau even though he had some lucky breaks, while Snow brought a team that I am not particularly a fan of and didn't play very well, so I think the FRUTL will collect one more win here.
SM: wangyu vs yedla - This is certainly an RUGL matchup. I know little to nothing about both of them but yedla managed to throw his game somehow and I think wangyu played mostly fine.
ORAS: Dlanyer vs LegendarySerperior - Even though Dlanyer's team was weird as hell I also think it was kinda fire. I am sensing he will be the underdog of this pool.
BW: mad dawg vs EviGaro - better player etc
ADV: SEA vs Medeia - This is also one of the highlights of this week. SEA is the better player and should have won her game last week, so I am bolding her once again, but I liked Medeia's team a lot and I also think she played very well, so I am expecting a great game.

The Regenehaters (4) vs (4) Mashallah Mausholds

SV: Hacker vs Kiyo - Stall won't work again, but this also means we once again don't know what Hacker will bring and I would say he's also the better player here, so this is very good for him and is probably gonna lead him into one more win. However, Kiyo also won't rain again and despite not being a better player than Hacker imo he's still great, so it will be an interesting one.
SV: MachJacob vs THE_CHUNGLER - This is my personal highlight of the week. Both are great players and brought some good teams last week. However, as I said last week, Chungler is probably top 5 of this pool - if not above - and has been in a good streak lately, so I will say he's favored here.
SV: Forest Guardian vs sasha - Sasha is more experienced at the game and has gum support, so I am bolding her.
SS: GoldCat vs Cielau - Goldcat won't lose 2 in a row. Trust me.
SM: dunoks vs DripLegend - dunoks' game last week was very cool to watch and he probably has more experience in the tier than DripLegend, so I think he's gonna get one more win.
ORAS: fran17 vs mncmt - better player etc etc etc
BW: TheFranklin vs Monai - better player etc etc etc
ADV: SpoiledBerries vs avarice - Avarice won't lose 2 in a row. Trust me.

I am sorry but I forgot to write the PRs and I ain't doing it anymore. However, I will make one more post probably tomorrow with some other things that I want to comment about the last week :thumbsup:
 
we support our rugl brothas out here, gonna throw up some SV predicts for the culture

Team Liquidation (2) vs (1) Sassy Stantlers
SV: toinha vs Shaymin Sky - toinha got lucky last week with a clutch molt burn body on a bish poised to countersweep but besides that I think it was a very solidly played game from him as well as a solid team. Meanwhile skymin unfortunately got blown out by a cm necrozma which while i doubt we see happen twice, still is not a great look from the week 1 debut.
SV: TyCarter vs Eternal Spirit - both of these players are coming off of getting handled in kinda unfavorable week 1 mus so big week for both looking to bounce back and go even for the season. I think TyCarter put up a somewhat more competitive match though and ik he's somewhat more familiar with the tier than eternal spirit at this point so i will slightly give him the edge
SV: FlamingoPokeman vs Corperate n - both these players coming off of week 1 wins but i think id have to give corp the edge here. I thought corp made some funny plays during his game but ultimately fought back from a scuffed position and managed to turn it into a convincing win which is impressive to me for someone who i really havent seen much from. Meanwhile I am a big flam fan but that week one didnt really show what hes capable of, managed to eek out the win off the back of some really unfortunate luck from drud which culminated in a double yanmega air slash flinch onto bike which sealed the game, hoping to see a statement game this week from him where hopefully luck doesn't need to be a wincon he leans into

Fullmetal Alcremies (2) vs (1) Fino Fennekins
SV: LBN vs myjava - LBN has more experience with the tier and has kept up with meta moreso than java so that by itself would be enough for me to give him the edge here. However java has still been impressive, lost a backbreaker vs stall last week but it felt like he was still competitive in a kinda unfavorable matchup. LBN also has been known to get very in his bag with his picks, volatile choices like frosmoth or oricorio are all options for him which could both be his greatest asset and biggest achilles heel
SV: Seraphz vs justdrew - both players relatively new to the tier who are coming off of big week 1 wins. I'm gonna bold seraphz here tho just because I thought he showed more confidence and had a somewhat more dominant week 1 win. drew played a very solid game in his own right from what I thought was an unfavorable matchup though so i think he should come into this week with a lot of confidence though
SV: HoopsspooH vs sufys - classic iron leaves moment last week from sufys who will not have that option to play through this week so looking forward to seeing how he adapts after the first week. I think hoops had a strong position for a fair bit of his game week 1 but even so it ended up in a loss for him. Hoops is a quality player so i certainly think hes looking to bounce back, this is one of the more interesting matches for me this week

The Regenehaters (1) vs (2) Mashallah Mausholds
SV: Hacker vs Kiyo - i really dont know what to say ab this matchup lol, hacker loaded stall last week and kiyo brought rain, really two opposite ends of the spectrum as far as RU goes. if we were to see those two brough again i think id favor hacker but really this is a tossup for me
SV: MachJacob vs THE_CHUNGLER - mj got iron leaves momented last which I really cant blame him for, leaves is gone for a reason lol. However I would say chungler is one of the strongest players in the pool and is coming off a pretty convincing really methodical win week 1 so I see no reason not to bold him
SV: Forest Guardian vs sasha - i played sasha last week and their inexperience with the tier definitely led to some maybe questionable exchanges which culminated in an armor sweep. But the play felt logical overall and im sure they'll definitely be looking to bounce back for the team. meanwhile i thought forest guardian had a really solid mu last week but just could not find a way to convert so while I do look forward to maybe some big things coming from then, I haven't seen proof of concept quite yet
 
Fullmetal Alcremies (2) vs (1) Fino Fennekins
SV: LBN vs myjava - LBN turned to the dark side after his RU Open run ended to GTerrain, copy-pasting the team he bashed publicly. While that works against lesser experienced players, I think he'll have to load something much more solid here to win, which I think he's capable of. 55/45
SV: Seraphz vs justdrew - Seraphz has looked good lately and justdrew made a few blunders last week that cost the game. 60/40
SV: HoopsspooH vs sufys - Both very solid players but I think sufys manages to overwhelm Hoops usual Balance structures, though maybe this game ends up with some new techs on both sides? 45/55

The Snow Warners (1) vs (2) The Canadiancies
SV: hi.naming is hard vs Yaily - Sneaky highlight of the week? Both are players I've enjoyed watching recently and I think they are both capable of winning in a likely close game. 48/52
SV: yovan33321 vs BeTheShadow - yovan feels generally better but that showing last week left me whelmed. Could very much go either way but I expect it to be lopsided for the winner. 49/51
SV: Drud vs Ming549 - Two of the top players in the SV pool face off. Drud coming off a loss last week and Ming having lost in RUPL makes this feel like a heavy game on both sides, but I think Drud is generally better as a player while Ming benefits most from his building. 55/45

The Regenehaters (2) vs (1) Mashallah Mausholds
SV: Hacker vs Kiyo - I think Hacker has more of a surprise factor here given what they both loaded last week - stall and rain, respectively. Both probably bring Balance and I give Hacker the edge in an even matchup team-wise. 55/45
SV: MachJacob vs THE_CHUNGLER - Actual highlight of the week? MJ is coming off several recent disappointing losses in Open and RUGL, but he's still a great builder and player. Chungler, meanwhile, has to be feeling good about his recent play (Open aside) and has been grinding in the builder and on ladder for RUPL. Two of my favorite members of the RU community, I could totally see this being one of the best games this tour. 45/55
SV: Forest Guardian vs sasha - Honestly, not sure if Forest is getting much support from MC or others in the builder, but their teams are definitely unique to them and their playstyle. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't, this week I think it does against a generally good player who will load something more traditional. 60/40
 
*PREDICTIONS COMPLETELY VIBES BASED. I ALSO WANT TO GET MORE RIGHT THAN BERALDO*

Team Liquidation (0) vs (0) Sassy Stantlers
SV: toinha vs Shaymin Sky Toinha is a really good player and played well last week, Shaymin Sky had a pretty terrible matchup in their game, I think they can come back this week but will bold the person with more experience here.
SV: TyCarter vs Eternal Spirit gotta bold the Boys
SV: FlamingoPokeman vs Corperate n FlamingoPokemon will either load cheese that absolutely dominates, load a real team, or load some cheese that gets absolutely mopped
SS: xXcrossbowXx vs HaxxSel
SM: roxie vs LpZ
ORAS: Oathkeeper vs Miyami~~~
BW: neomon vs Tack
ADV: Queen of Bean vs Cbass97

Fullmetal Alcremies (0) vs (0) Fino Fennekins
SV: LBN vs myjava I don’t know myjava at all, he played well last week. If LBN doesn’t get lost in the sauce he’ll play a good game
SV: Seraphz vs justdrew both played very well who knows
SV: HoopsspooH vs sufys Both good players, but I know hoops will bring some heat
SS: SOMALIA vs Ryuji
SM: FadedCharm vs RaJ.Shoot
ORAS: MrAldo vs Fragments
BW: Mister McLovin vs TDR
ADV: BigFatMantis vs zS

The Snow Warners (0) vs (0) The Canadiancies
SV: hi.naming is hard vs Yaily still a criminal offense he wasn’t drafted in RUPL, very strong performance in RULT. Yaily also seems like a very strong player so this will be fun to watch. Match of the week
SV: yovan33321 vs BeTheShadow Yovan played well last week, BeTheShadow was a very competent opponent who I definitely could’ve lost to had things gone differently.
SV: Drud vs Ming549 Ming is a scary opponent to go up against but so is Drud
SS: RyuSnowシ vs feen
SM: wangyu vs yedla
ORAS: Dlanyer vs LegendarySerperior
BW: mad dawg vs EviGaro
ADV: SEA vs Medeia
