:squawkabilly: (5) vs (3) :bisharp:

SV - Lime vs hjkhj --> I like this pairing and while I find hjkhj's performances really impressive at the moment, I think Lime has the upper hand here because his preferred team styles seem to have a great matchup into hjkhj's. Although I must say that hjkhj showed they were capable of playing a wide variety of archetypes, they will probably need to step out of their comfort zone once again on this one. Really looking forward to this game. 60-40

SV - LpZ vs Kushalos --> I must admit, I had no idea who Kushalos was before this tournament and oh boy I will make sure to remember their name now. They have one of the top records at the moment with an impressive 6-1 and even if I know LpZ is an amazing player I just can't see who can stop a guy who won with Frosmoth and Curse Snorlax. 40-60

SV - Thiago Nunes vs avarice --> Second week of avarice in SV and the first did not go so well so I'll bold Thiago Nunes here. Maybe without Gallade or Golurk this could be a close match. 60-40

SS - Metallica126 vs Fogbound Lake --> I'm bolding my guy here, not only does he have a better record in SS but I also value his ingame very high. On the other hand, I don't know a lot about Fogbound Lake but I still struggle to understand how they managed to win their game last week so I'll go with the player I know. 70-30

SM - Santu vs Denial --> Cool OG matchup in SM we love to see it, their records are pretty close but one of them beat le Doo and the other didn't so it surely means Denial will win this. Listen, I don't follow SM a whole lot so I had to find a metric here. 45-55

ORAS - DugZa vs Yay --> If you don't have the Felidiff I don't see anyone taking a game from DugZa in ORAS. 80-20

BW - Guille vs ninjadog --> Great matchup here with the top 2 of the BW pool. I really like Guille and they were one of the players I followed last RUPL despite knowing close to nothing about BW but... ninjadog beat Astro... so I'm bolding them. 45-55

BO3 - Beraldo vs mncmt --> We did not see Beraldo in Bo3 last week so it's the first time we will have this promising matchup. Mence is definitely an incredible player but I think Beraldo is extremely motivated by the idea of achieving the back to back so he will give 100% in the serie and I'm honestly not sure if I would bold anyone against a motivated Beraldo. 60-40


:golurk: (2) vs (6) :Maushold:
SV - umbry vs zS --> I'm leaving the statistics behind here and will just follow my guts and they tell me to take this zS guy seriously because he keeps showing how good he is at this game. I also think playing one of the top dogs of this RUPL is going to be a great motivation for him and not unlike Beraldo, a motivated zS is very very scary. 45-55

SV - Lily vs ishtar --> The battle of the TLs is here, I'm not quite sure how comfortable they both are with the tier so I will bold ishtar because I value her quality as a builder a lot and I think it might make a big difference in this particular matchup. 45-55

SV - frankjosh vs PokemonCestDur --> PCD is just that guy and while he's not having the best season, I still played too much with him to bold frankjosh here. 40-60

SS - Attribute vs QWILY --> Great matchup with the top 2 of the SS pool and they actually both are top 1 with a 5-2 record. However, Attribute won the previous head to head so I'm giving them the edge. 60-40

SM - Gondra vs odr --> Cool matchup here as well, I'm bolding odr because they seems to have more tricks up their sleeves and it shows in their great record. Close one tho. 40-60

ORAS - Cielau vs Floss --> Sorry for my boy but I have to bold Floss, he is more experienced in this tier which doesn't leave much room to cheese to get this w. 35-65

BW - Piyu vs etern --> Don't know much about them and Piyu has a perfect record in BW which they played the last two weeks so I'm guessing they feel quite confident. 60-40

BO3 - Punny vs TheFranklin --> I would not bold anyone against Franklin other than Feli or Beraldo and while I believe Punny can take this one, I still think Franklin is way too on point since the start of the tour. He also won the last head to head. 40-60

TIEBREAK PREDICTS

:bisharp: Crunchwrap Supreme Overlord Juniors (0) vs (0) Deranged Hustlers :combee:

SV: Kushalos vs Lime Both fantastic players with similar SV records. While I don’t know if Lime will cheese, I think certain setup sweepers have a good matchup into Kushalos’ offensive teams, and Lime can cook something devious enough to win.
SV: hjkhj vs DugZa I’ve always been an hjkhj believer ever since I started facing him on ladder. He will always pilot stall perfectly and has proven he’s just as good with balance/BO. DugZa’s an amazing player based off the ORAS games ive seen and will surely be no less threatening in SV.
ORAS: mncmt vs Santu No idea, both players are cracked but I will pick Mence since he’s played some great ORAS games in RUGL and has played very well in the Bo3 pool.
 
Haven't done predictions for quite a while so I guess my time has come.

SV: Kushalos vs Lime - Kush has impressed me this season and Lime is going on a flawless run yet, definitely a matchup that I'm looking forward to catch live. Despite the fact that I'm a fan of Lime's teams (yeah even the grassy :stare:) and I don't doubt his capacity to flip the table, I think the situation where both teams are in right now is more favorable for Kush than it is for Lime. Considering his longevity and experience, I'm guessing he may have a key for these situations that Lime doesn't have yet. Still would it be cool if I'm proven wrong.

SV: hjkhj vs DugZa - I don't know what to think about this ngl. On a hand, it's difficult to bold against DugZa, moreover since he's able to bring his own fire stuff and is by far one of the most consistent lower tiers player on the site, but on another... dude, high jump kick hej japp is one of the craziest players around rn, it just seems very hard to beat him in SV currently. Consistency, stalls with no sauce, skill, franklin's no.1 enemy... idk I feel like Hector Joseph Kevin Harold Justin has a complete recipe for clutch here. (sorry to anybody I doxxed)

ORAS: mncmt vs Santu - non può perdere signore Santuz. For some reason I feel like Santu has some sort of a weird ORAS energy that makes him dangerous no matter where and what's he playing. Here again that's a stacked matchup, but I think Santuz is most likely to take this one, not by much though but yeah.

Interesting matchups over here, hope we will get some good g4ming!
