Host predicts here we go

Prime Protosynthesizers (4) vs (6) Deranged Hustlers
SV: LBN vs Lime --> probably the most flippy matchup in this lineup with the BW game, Lime struggled last week using a somewhat honest offense team which makes me think that he might go for something more fishy this week and even if LBN surely expects it, I doubt a Confuse Ray will save him (although I loved the Toxtricity and tect Krook bring) / 45-55
SV: Ryu vs Ming549 --> Ming is good in SV and I'm not too familiar with Ryu outside of SS + I wasn't too impressed by his game last week / 30-70
SV: Kushalos vs TJ --> Kushalos had the best record last year so I'm not going to bold that many people against him / 70-30
SV: MachJacob vs Xrn --> I think MJ is a very solid player and I don't know how Xrn does in SV RU tbh since last week he didn't get to play the game a whole lot / 60-40
SS: The Strap vs Danny --> let me get this straight I won't be following SS that much this tour so I'm mostly going off vibes here but I'd say The Strap's ingame is more solid than Danny's / 60-40
SM: Xiri vs Gondra --> it's hard to bold against Gondra in any tier tbh but he had a great record last year in SM so he is favored here imo / 40-60
ORAS: MrAldo vs Piyu --> Aldo knows the tier more and even though Piyu is a good pilot, I don't think it will be quite enough / 60-40
BW: ninjadog vs Guille --> highlight game of course, last year Guille won this faceoff and I would say Guille got even better in game since then so I'll bold him / 45-55
ADV: Msousa vs LpZ --> LpZ is too good + council diff / 30-70
Bo3: pdt vs Thiago Nunes --> not that familiar with both of them but I remember being more impressed with pdt's games against Franklin last week / 55-45

Rockies' Defiant Payloaders (7) vs (3) Noble Guardians
SV: hjkhj vs Bouff --> I don't know if I will bold anyone against hjkhj honestly, his ingame is great and he knows the tier like no one else, while Bouff's ingame is also good, hjkhj has just way more experience in the tier / 60-40
SV: frankjosh vs umbry --> this feels like friendly fire between Noble Guardians lol, umbry's ingame is better imo and well she crushed it last year so can't bold fj / 40-60
SV: Sabella vs Lana --> I'm more familiar with Sabella in SV so bolding them / 60-40
SV: hi.naming is hard vs gum --> interesting game imo because gew is a wild builder and also good ingame when he's feeling it + he has better SV support imo, on the other hand gum's ingame is great so I really don't like bolding against him but also he lost against a fairly famous six last week which makes me lean towards gew this time / 55-45
SS: tachi vs Meru --> bolding my boy tachi because I know he has it in him and is probably more motivated than his opponent, Meru is great though so I'll keep it close / 55-45
SM: odr vs kumiko --> I won't bold anyone against odr, blunder is not here this year so this guy will be unstoppable / 60-40
ORAS: Killintime vs Tenebricite --> I don't know both of them that much since they aren't super active in RU, last week killintime had an horrible mu and Tenebricite won thanks to a well-timed crit so I don't have much to go from here. I'll bold Killintime because he has better support ig / 55-45
BW: Yay vs seraphz --> I don't really know seraphz played BW but Yay I'm pretty sure has more experience and won against Guille last week so I'll bold him / 60-40
ADV: THE_CHUNGLER vs Heysup --> great faceoff here and I'll bold the mainer despite it being very close / 55-45
EDIT- mb Heysup, didn't know you really mained adv ru now sooo 40-60 the other way around I'd say then
Bo3: lighthouses vs Punny --> both delivered great Bo last week but I think Punny is more experienced in SV and SS which gives them a big edge / 40-60

=> harsh score but a lot of these are super close so a 6-4 is def more likely

Tenacious Technicians (7) vs (3) Pressure Cookers
SV: Metallica126 vs feen --> highlight match here again, I loved feen's team last week and while I think their ingame are comparable I'll still give the edge to the TL here / 40-60
SV: zS vs FlamPoke --> interesting game, I think FP is better in RU but doesn't quite have the ingame level of zS so to me it will just be whether zS gives a shit or not, if he does he should win though / 55-45
SV: fish anemometer vs Lily --> Lily is better and more experienced in the tier/ 40-60
SV: DugZa vs Kate --> I value DugZa's ingame higher than Kate's and I think he's more motivated to win so his managers don't banish him in ORAS later / 55-45
SS: OranBerryBlissey10 vs sol --> pretty hype matchup for a SS game, I'm giving the edge to sol because he knows the tier way better and his better ingame imo / 40-60
SM: lza vs BloodAce --> Iza played well last week and I wasn't impressed by BloodAce's showing / 60-40
ORAS: Real FV13 vs shiloh --> don't really know shiloh in ORAS but he is a great pilot anyway so the game will probably be close but Real FV did well last week so I'll believe in them this week / 55-45
BW: Accel vs SBPC --> Accel showed in past team tour how good they are in BW and last week they showed they could beat the top dogs of the pool so I can't bold against them / 60-40
ADV: SpoiledBerries vs mielke --> I'm not sure mielke knows this tier while SpoiledBerries is a mainer / 55-45
Bo3: TheFranklin vs mncmt --> best series of the week to me, I can't bold against Franklin but I think mence can definitely win as well, they were the two best records last year in this slot so this will be a banger / 55-45

Party-Crashing Pranksters (7) vs (3) Toxic Chains
SV: Daharan vs xavgb --> honestly I might have bolded daha against most of the other SV player but I mean... it's stresh here and this guy is probably the best player in this pool so I can't do that, daha is a great player though so I believe he can give stresh a run for his money, his ingame is quite difficult to adapt to and he builds good teams so that's a 40-60 in my book
SV: Ajna vs tko --> tko hasn't impressed me last week and Ajna is just a great all-rounder as a player, better ingame and better building skills, tko does have great SV support though so I don't think we should count them out / 60-40
SV: 3d vs avarice --> 3d showed good piloting last week and well avarice kinda gave up after what felt like a rushed early game so I'll bold the latter / 55-45
SV: passion vs Ampha --> both are good at SV but I think passion is better ingame and the Pranksters have great support in SV so Ampha's tier knowledge probably won't save him here / 55-45
SS: dunoks vs C0nfiden1 0yster --> although I'm not a fan of this tier, this week's matchups are quite hype tbh. I'm bolding oyster because I'm pretty sure he is more motivated and will actually build, dunoks' ingame is probably slightly better but I know it will annoy him if I bold oyster so i'll stick to that / 45-55
SM: Finnick Odair vs xXcrossbowXx --> very close game here as well not too sure who to bold but I value sensei's ingame higher + he has great support compared to xbow / 55-45
ORAS: Chaitanya vs EviGaro --> I heard that if Evi actually thinks during turn 1 and loads Scrafty she actually can't lose / 45-55
BW: Finchinator vs Baddy --> better ingame and more experienced / 60-40
ADV: Amity vs SEA --> highlight ADV matchup, I'll bold Amity since she has more results if I'm not mistaken but this will be close / 55-45
Bo3: Feliburn vs robjr --> I think Feli is just made for Bo3, he has more stamina than most of the pool and can more easily keep a high level across multiple games, I would favor him in the three gens / 60-40

This is way too long to make and I can't go as in depth as I usually like but errr this will do for now ig
 
LBN predicts. If you're mad at my comments or at me bolding against feel free to prove me wrong predicts aint that serious

Rockies' Defiant Payloaders (6) vs (4) Noble Guardians
SV: hjkhj vs Bouff
Fat meister who excels in longer games and a player whos got a case of tilt problems. longer games means more luck chances and more luck chances means more tilt chance. Assuming HJK pilots his bread n butter, this is his game.
SV: frankjosh vs umbry
Frank only barely got to play the video game last week vs lime thanks to a out of control legion breakthrough. The score was close though. Umbry loaded some obesity with resttalk wo-chien so I know who has my heart...
SV: Sabella vs Lana
Lana got lucked into the stratosphere in a classic Bisharp showcase, while Sabella just didnt play the video game and got PomPom'd. Lana got to play more of the video game though, so they'll get bolded.
SV: hi.naming is hard vs gum
Gewwge begging for luck and then instant getting it followed by the fakest mb in history means he's getting bolded for that alone. IG he plays the game good too but who needs skill when you have a backdoor on showdowns rng rolls
SS: tachi vs Meru
Meru may have won his game last week but his rhyperior was slower than a gastrodon so frankly he deserves to lose.
SM: odr vs kumiko
Stealing ODR teams and loading them in classic is a past time I'll always appreciate. Full bias, no brain. (He's better at SM anyways, but hopefully kumiko forgets he hates milotic with a passion and doesnt load fire spam oh that would be TRAGIC)
ORAS: Killintime vs Tenebricite
My boy is in ORAS and if his OU skills can carry down to a tier infinitely worse than ORAS OU frankly he should take it. If you think im putting effort into ORAS predicts tell the players to put effort into ORAS building and maybe imma give a shit
BW: Yay vs seraphz
Yay loaded some quality sawk manectric heat while seraphz loaded a more generic fat, but the fat was well made. Unfortunately, seraphz got put in the Finch Blender and Yay played guille who decided his kabutops counterplay was dodging stone edge so.
ADV: THE_CHUNGLER vs Heysup
In a world without RNG, Heysup wins just about every game they play. Unfortunately that world is not this one and heysup is one of the unluckiest motherfuckers ive ever met on this site. He's the better player here by miles but god hates him and everything he stands for
Bo3: lighthouses vs Punny
Both good players but i put more stock in punny, so long as his prep doesn't veer too far into nonsense territory.

Tenacious Technicians (6) vs (4) Pressure Cookers
SV: Metallica126 vs feen
Just lucked feen in ISTT so I'm giving the pity bold. (I'd probably bold him anyways but shhhhh dont tell him)
SV: zS vs FlamPoke
Both excellent players, but zS had to play the video game last week while flam had the easiest win of his career so zS is less rusty bolding him next
SV: fish anemometer vs Lily
Fish, much like his name suggests, loaded a team just like his namesake and unfortunately got stonewalled by a jirachi all game. Considering its a minor miracle buddy loaded a ground and a steel to begin with, I'm bolding Lily.
SV: DugZa vs Kate
Kate unfortunately has a game harder than walking their dog, and I do not think DugZa will be losing that easily. (Plus he's more familiar with the tier and I cant bold against the guy who constantly beats my ass in tours lmao)
SS: OranBerryBlissey10 vs sol
I dont think I've ever been moved by OBB gameplay and while he's absolutely good, sol no-lifes this tier more than pmuch anybody on the site. As long as he actually watches his fucking timer this time he should be winning this
SM: lza vs BloodAce
Iza won his game last week and pretty much never was behind all game, while crossbow had bloodace's soul on text-to-speech and beat him with a scarf pjab queen so I know who got my vote.
ORAS: Real FV13 vs shiloh
Real FV is a chef and ORAS RU feels like a tier he'd be great in, and my confidence has yet to be betrayed. (btw pass me some DPP NU squads bro those shits are clean)
BW: Accel vs SBPC
Speaking of teams, Accel loaded a flames lineup in BW last week and with denials claim of nothing but fresh squads from BW I have full faith they will be succeeding.
ADV: SpoiledBerries vs mielke
Got nothing to say about ADV ummm dont lose to bd wrath idk
Bo3: TheFranklin vs mncmt
Franklin's Facade mence was fuckin crazy and while Im not remotely a fan of his bring in SS, the SV cheffery makes me favor him. And his record last tour was insane, summ bout going 8-0 last RUPL? Yeah he getting bolded.

Party-Crashing Pranksters (6) vs (4) Toxic Chains
SV: Daharan vs xavgb
Daharan, on top of having a godlike username has been making a quality seasonal run. On the flipside, stresh smokes nitrogen chloride in the builder and it always fucking works so its this is both a game to watch and also a game to dread.
SV: Ajna vs tko
Ajna better.
SV: 3d vs avarice
3d, on top of having the best custom avatar on the sight, loaded a lord squad and played pretty much perfectly. On the other side, avarice's game makes me genuinely surprised he didn't get instant benched. Clicking surf with legion vs ghost resist Hoodra, a baffling tera meant to cover the Shadow Ball raikous that got lost from 2022 SS, and then top top it all off.. mald into no gg forfeit with 5 mons alive. That, that is near indefensible. Hoping avarice can redeem himself this game but until he does bolding them is a meme
SV: passion vs Ampha
Passion lucked the dogshit of the lana last week, while ampha beat cieleau with the generic squad in human history. Neither pick moves me, but anybody who loads bisharp knows how to win so I'm voting passion.
SS: dunoks vs C0nfiden1 0yster
Oyster is better.
SM: Finnick Odair vs xXcrossbowXx
Such a banger username. Crossbow please nuke the X's in your name they gotta go. I actually think ur the better here in fact but the name gets you a -10% favorability, and thats how close this mu is.
ORAS: Chaitanya vs EviGaro
Chaitanya lost in monotype seasonal and his opponent called him a "washed-up goat" and frankly there's no recovering your career from that godspeed brother.
BW: Finchinator vs Baddy
He's my captain for ADPL contractually obligated to bold.
ADV: Amity vs SEA
I trust SEA in ADV tiers more than I trust most of my family. Amity is good and no-lifes this tier to an equal capacity though so 49/51 and maybe a couple speed ties.
Bo3: Feliburn vs robjr
Feli is better, while he lost to punny he played very well, SV aside since gallade didnt rlly let him play the game. Rob is an excellent player as well but he's probably my #8th place pick for a personal PR. Pool is just that strong.
 
Rockies' Defiant Payloaders (5) vs (5) Noble Guardians
SV: hjkhj vs Bouff - both these guys had some messy games last week with hjk getting a gastro freeze toc clinch his game and bouff getting just WORKED by an incineroar of all things but I think hjk's game overall is bit more even keeled so I'll give him the edge
SV: frankjosh vs umbry - classic friends to enemies trope, i really liked umbrys win over ajna last week, it looked really good while conversely frankjosh super fanged a confirmed zoroark so likeeee... yeah will be taking umbry
SV: Sabella vs Lana - both of these ppl got owned by some unfortunate hax, flinches, crits, what have you last week so a bit hard to call coming into this week. overall i rate sabella higher as a player though and I think he might be a bit extra motivated to get smth going in the win column this week so will be giving him the nod
SV: hi.naming is hard vs gum - gooooo gum, shoutouts gum
SS: tachi vs Meru - first sub in of the season for the payloaders who have taken their blub out of SS this week, i imagine this is due to irl conflicts with timing or smth of that nature, idk what tachis SS looks like ngl but Meru looked pretty good last week so working off my current info will go for him
SM: odr vs kumiko - both coming off tough Ls but i wasnt really a big fan of kumikos team or play last week and i thought odr did look pretty good still in his L so will be going with him this week
ORAS: Killintime vs Tenebricite - after inexplicably somehow loading a team with no rocks last week kt is in jail until proven otherwise... also tene pulled out a nice come from behind w vs chait last week so will be interested to see if that was a fluke or he's fr in this slot
BW: Yay vs seraphz - i said this last year i will say it again i still dont really understand bw so this will be vibes pick slot :3
ADV: THE_CHUNGLER vs Heysup - both of these guys coming off tough Ls last week, but i think i'll give chungler the edge here, if his raichu doesnt get frozen and stay frozen vs lpzs glalie last week we would've had a completely diff game meanwhile heysup got pretty thoroughly destroyed last week and dropped a one liner ab being tilted in chat afterwards?
Bo3: lighthouses vs Punny - second strongest in the pool imo and in the prs so will bold based off reputation here mostly

Tenacious Technicians (6) vs (4) Pressure Cookers
SV: Metallica126 vs feen - this is a super highlight for me, i like both of these guys games a lot and they both had pretty solid w1 w's. metallica put on a clinic w raikou last week and feen put up an absolute blowout w tpsychic hilli both very cool but I gotta pick one so will go w/ meta and the consistency pick
SV: zS vs FlamPoke - flam put on a clinic plain and simple last week and zS lost to confuse ray cress and a tough endgame where he saw ghosts of roar empo so will go with the stronger w1 showing in flam
SV: fish anemometer vs Lily - SUICUNES RAHHHHHH, lily had a tough to negotiate engame vs stresh last week but overall still looked pretty solid and fish brought an old offense only to be solod by jirachi so i will give lily the confidence vote this week
SV: DugZa vs Kate - about damn time, if ur gonna draft the suicunes rubd core you should use it... dug was one iron head flinch away from getting his bisharp body pressed into the moon and the chat popping off and kate has my faith as a competent clicker and a lil bit of suicunes bias so she will get the nod this week
SS: OranBerryBlissey10 vs sol - not even from a gaming perspective sol is just mandated to win this week, ppl can say what they want about the draft and pricing or whatever but #1 is #1, and u need to be putting up results
SM: lza vs BloodAce - last week was the first time i really had my eyes on lza gaming and i was really impressed by the prep and some of the ingame calls that were working out, conversely i thought bloodace looked a little out of place last week so lza will get the bold
ORAS: Real FV13 vs shiloh - 2nd tier in two weeks for shiloh, bit interesting to see but understandable all the same, I thought real fv did a pretty good job last week so will give him the bold for now
BW: Accel vs SBPC - fabulous showing vs the top dog from accel last week meanwhile the cookers seem to be experimenting with bw until they can get smth to stick and sbpc doesnt exactly have the most familiarity with this tier yet so will be giving the nod to accel
ADV: SpoiledBerries vs mielke - ngl i was big sleeping on mielke but he just dominated last week, pulled a fast one on the best in the pool, very very impressive stuff, but i am Berries strongest soldier so will stand by my champion
Bo3: TheFranklin vs mncmt - 12-0 is 12-0 it has been over TWO YEARS since someone has been able to beat this guy in this slot, and i will not be foolish to pick against him until proven otherwise

Party-Crashing Pranksters (7) vs (3) Toxic Chains
SV: Daharan vs xavgb - THATS MY BOY DAHARAN GETTIN THE START, unfortunately its vs stresh so... there it is
SV: Ajna vs tko - i really liked how ajna looked vs umbry last week, had a couple weird turns, i thought the rhyp getting knocked turn sticks out in my memory specifically, but he really did look really solid for a long while in a super long game so he has my confidence for this week. tko didnt look BAD last week perse but he got one guyd by hilli with the right tera so that is a bit disheartening to see
SV: 3d vs avarice - 3d was tremendous last week, pulled up with the patented focus punch feli team zoroark and had it pop off, and just overall played really strong vs gum, avarice meanwhile got a bit unlucky and then also appeared to tilt like a mf which is needless to say not a great look
SV: passion vs Ampha - both of these ppl are coming off wins last week but passion needed a bit more luck compared to ampha who just looked solid in his play. he still cant build like at all but thats like lowkey a positive in this type of tour environment lol
SS: dunoks vs C0nfiden1 0yster - 0ysters game vs sol last week was really dope to see how he converted a really dragged out endgame, dunoks did not really have a bad game by any means even if he lost last week but i am just a bit more impressed with 0yster rn
SM: Finnick Odair vs xXcrossbowXx - i liked what both
ORAS: Chaitanya vs EviGaro - i dont exactly understand how either of the games these two were involved with last week ended the way they did, but man they sure did happen! evi brought it back playing down 5 v 6 off rip but i doubt chait will let her setup to +1 billion with scrafty for no good reason. i also think chait was maybe a bit unfocused last week which i hope has tightened up so will give him the edge there
BW: Finchinator vs Baddy - bw moment
ADV: Amity vs SEA - i dont exactly expect SEA to get 6-0'd by sub BD wrath again but that is such an egregious mistake to make and Amity also played a dominating game vs heysup last week so I see no reason not to go with the momentum pick coming into this week
Bo3: Feliburn vs robjr - both coming off some tough losses last week but i was a little more impressed with feli's play bringing it back esp in the sm game the way he did so will give him the nod
 
Rarelyme just made me remember that I could put the probabilities in the predicts, so I will do it as well

Rockies' Defiant Payloaders (4) vs (6) Noble Guardians
SV: hjkhj (49.5) vs (50.5) Bouff - being honest, I would usually bold against Bouff in this matchup. They have everything to lose this game. However, something just came to me and I think the Guardians will find a way to get them a good matchup and this will lead them into a win. Let's see!
SV: frankjosh (30) vs (70) umbry - Frank got crazy unlucky in his game last week, but everyone knows umbry is 1. better in the game 2. better in the builder 3. better at RU. That's it.
SV: Sabella (55) vs (45) Lana - Despite their loss, I liked Lana's team and gameplay a lot. I think they have what is needed to win here, but I will need to say that seeing Sabella going 0-2 is much more weird than Lana, and I don't think it will happen, so I am going with Sabella here.
SV: hi.naming is hard (40) vs (60) gum - ngl gum's game last week was weird, but I liked the team idea a lot and I don't think they played bad by any means. The opponent didn't show anything too impressive to make me bold them over gum, anyway, and I don't think gum will be caught off guard by any bullshit gewge might bring.
SS: tachi (35) vs (65) Meru - Meru is very good.
SM: odr (60) vs (40) kumiko - I think the only player that might make me bold against odr in this tournament is sensei axew. Kumiko's last week game was frustrating as well, so yeah.
ORAS: Killintime (51) vs (49) Tenebricite - Tenebricite got a very good win last week. Apparently Chait is washed, but I wouldn't say he played bad during that game, in fact I would say they both played quite well. However, despite Killintime loading a terrible team and losing on the spot last week, I like the spirit of building new shit in theis tier, and I think this will be the key for Killintime's first win in the tournament.
BW: Yay (49.9) vs (50.1) seraphz - This looks like a good opportunity for seraphz. I think he played well against Finch, who is the strongest player in this pool, and despite Yay's experience in this tier, I feel like he probably doesn't know what to expect from seraphz, which is never a good indicative. Yay is still good though so I might very well be wrong here.
ADV: THE_CHUNGLER (55) vs (45) Heysup - idk why Heysup was tilted in his game against Amity. I do not know shit about ADV but it didn't look like anything crazy happened. He does not deserve to be bolded this week.
Bo3: lighthouses (40) vs (60) Punny - Punny.

Tenacious Technicians (6) vs (4) Pressure Cookers
SV: Metallica126 (60) vs (40) feen - I liked both of their games last week. Feen's team was a bit weird with the double poison/fairy mons, but there was Lilligant-Hisui and I love it. However, I think Metallica's opponent was better, mainly when you consider tko just decided his mamoswine didn't deserve to continue living its life for whatever reason. I would also say Metallica is better at the game and I trust his building capabilities more, so I don't find a reason to bold feen here. Should be a good watch if the teams are fun enough, though.
SV: zS (55) vs (45) FlamPoke - This is an interesting one. zS was a better player than his last week's opponent, but decided to lose a very weird team and proceeded to lose. Flampoke, in the other hand, was a worse player than his last week's opponent, but decided to lose a team that I liked a lot, got a very good matchup and proceeded to win. I also think Flampoke played his game just fine, while zS didn't play his game well. So, why am I bolding zS? Well, he's still superior at the game than Flamingo Pokeman, I don't think he will get 2 bad games in a row, and I think he has the edge in a neutral matchup, so that's it.
SV: fish anemometer (35) vs (65) Lily - better at the game and better at scarlet and violet rarely used. I think she played quite well against stresh, even though I disagree with some of her plays, and fish just got smoked. He does not know how to play Snow in this tier.
SV: DugZa (60) vs (40) Kate - did kate ever touch this tier
SS: OranBerryBlissey10 (40) vs (60) sol - Both of them loaded european virgin ass Reuni. Both of them deserve to lose. One loser has to win. Sol is better. Cool.
SM: lza (60) vs (40) BloodAce - I am convinced lza is the goat.
ORAS: Real FV13 (45) vs (55) shiloh - Being honest I wasn't impressed at Real FV13's game against Aldo, mainly because I think Aldo took the wrong route during that late game, and I think shiloh is a competent player and should have won his game last week if that focus blast hit. Pretty close one, though, I can see it going both ways and it would be perfectly fine.
BW: Accel (90) vs (10) SBPC - I do not know SBPC and Accel cooked last week. I am now a fan.
ADV: SpoiledBerries (30) vs (70) mielke - I don't know shit about ADV, but Mielke beat SEA. I have also heard great things about him in ADV. That man might be the goat.
Bo3: TheFranklin (55) vs (45) mncmt - Honestly, I feel like mence played very very well against rob from what I remember, but I think franklin is favored in all 3 gens so it's hard to bold against him.

Party-Crashing Pranksters (6) vs (4) Toxic Chains

SV: Daharan (5) vs (95) xavgb - nothing to say.
SV: Ajna (70) vs (30) tko - tko didn't play well imo and ajna is ajna
SV: 3d (48) vs (52) avarice - avarice is good as long as he gets a playable matchup. 3d is good too and he loaded some cool shit last week, but this will be the week where avarice will load HO and get his win.
SV: passion (55) vs (45) Ampha - I like passion a lot and I would say he beat a stronger opponent last week than Ampha, even though it was with some luck. Ampha is good, though, and is more experienced at the tier, but this game gives me the vibes of a game that he will lose, get tilted over some nonsense and not say gg.
SS: dunoks (40) vs (60) C0nfiden1 0yster - oyster, I am sorry for doubting you. You are the goat. I miss you in the Hustlers.
SM: Finnick Odair (60) vs (40) xXcrossbowXx - better at the videogame. However, this looks like the perfect opportunity for crossbow to show why he self-bought and prove that he's now one of the greatest SM RU names, if he wins. Will it happen? I don't think so.
ORAS: Chaitanya (60) vs (40) EviGaro - Chaitanya going 0-2 is insanely weird, even with the washed allegations. I can't bold against him here.
BW: Finchinator (80) vs (20) Baddy - that's the BW RU goat
ADV: Amity (40) vs (60) SEA - SEA going 0-2 is insanely weird. I can't bold against her here. Bop.
Bo3: Feliburn (60) vs (40) robjr - rob didn't play very well any of his games imo, and I would say Feli is favored both in SV and SS, so I don't see a reason not to bold him.
