SV predicts, gooooooo MrSpeed

Tenacious Technicians (2) vs (2) Deranged Hustlers
SV: Hacker vs Quinn -> A cool match to start these predicts! Hacker was killing it in LTWC and gave it a go for SCL with a solid result in 3-3. I also remember he was getting quite unlucky. He also went 3-4 in RUCL which is decent. I'm not sure both have followed the recent trends of RU since January but I do think Hacker has a more solid base of the tier as well as clicking abilities. Quinn is a solid clicker in general and they seem to do pretty well in most tours.
SV: Lana vs seed -> Oh this is banger. Seed grew a lot in 2025 from RUGL to a potential future star of RUPL as people believe in him. However Lana is no slouch. I rate her highly and she has some RU experience to back it up. You can't forget that there's the Franklin support to back her up. Very close one!
SV: Ac1D vs DripLegend -> Drip has the midwest super nice person buff which is a big advantage. They also shown to be solid last RUPL and an ok RUCL. They do play in RU teamtours for a while which is a big plus. Ac1D is a rising star that has shown some good things in RUCL. I still think Ac1D needs to show more before I can bold them despite the Franklin help in the builder.
SV: Heatranator vs Cielau -> Two friends. Both have been around for a little while now (Cielau is here I think since the Stone Age). I do think Cielau is a better player in-game but Heatran helped hjkhj to build in SCL so not onesided at all. Will go with Cielau for the experience.

Masters of Disguise (1) vs (3) Solid Rock Wreckers
SV: feen vs hjkhj -> The SV game of the week. I expect a banger on this one between two of the people I rate high in RU. I think it's safe to say hjkhj is n1 in the pool whitout too much doubt so will go with them.
SV: Ming549 vs Txunt! -> Txunt! is my boy. He cooks some good stuff. He can overcook but I believe he helped hjkhj in SCL and are friends so they have some visions that they can make work together. He can crash and burn if he goes too much in the weird ideas which will be the Wreckers to make sure it doesn't happen. Ming had some on and off seasons between last RUPL, LTWC and RUCL. I do believe he can win as this is a close one. I do think he doesn't match the big builder quality of the Wreckers.
SV: Jojen vs MachJacob -> I'm not too familiar in Jojen but I've seen them in quite a few PLs so they must be solid. MJ is more accustomed to RU tho I think Jojen is a better clicker? Will come down to prep vs clicking and I like the building quality of the Wreckers once again.
SV: JoelXLeaf vs Tsuki -> Gen z battle. Both have something to prove, Joel wants to prove after finishing the ladder achievements that he has it in him to play at this level while Tsuki needs to prove she isn't washed after loading rain and losing twice with it in RUCL (sorry Tsuki it was too tempting to not bring it up). Both are very nice people but I think the Joel motivation will make him win!

Leaf Guard Dancers (1) vs (3) Pure Power Prizefighters
SV: Sabella vs xcx -> The people love Gum. He's the chillest guy ever, his chill will win him this game. But to be more serious both are good players but I think Gum is prob a better clicker. Idk if this is a controversial opinion or not tho. When it comes to building this is where it gets closer, on one hand you have meta support which is a great plus while the other lacks builders in SV. This makes me think it's going to be close.
SV: hi.naming is hard vs etern -> Hi.naming is hard has been in this community for a little while now and has shown some pretty good stuff. However I think etern takes this one after a great SCL. I do think that the builder option is less a problem here as the skill gap is bigger.
SV: 8truc vs Ampha -> This is a close one with the builder stuff. 8truc comes off a good LTWC as well as RUCL showing and seems to be rising as a player as I see more of him in quite a few tours. Ampha's been here for a while and had some decent showings in both RUPL and RUCL but keep in mind Ampha has been in the RU circuit playoffs every year for a little while so will bold him.
SV: Soul King0 vs DKM -> I have to apologise to Soul King last RUCL I wasn't familiar with your game. 5-2 is a great score and they've shown some good stuff in other tiers as well. I'm not familiare with DKM othr than by name so will go with my guts.

Gonna drop quick predicts, might try to give more comments later on but its hard early in the tour

Tenacious Technicians (5) vs (5) Deranged Hustlers
SV: Hacker vs Quinn
SV: Lana vs seed
SV: Ac1D vs DripLegend
SV: Heatranator vs Cielau
SS: sol vs Thiago Nunes
SM: rylon vs Bouff - i bold bouff cause I have more confidence in their consistency and higher ceiling, but I also think rylon, besides being a capable player, can be the type of guy to tilt bouff midgame. talkin from experience here
ORAS: DugZa vs Piyu - big hl for the pool.
BW: seraphz vs ninjadog
ADV: SpoiledBerries vs violet river
Bo3: TheFranklin vs Gondra

Masters of Disguise (3) vs (7) Solid Rock Wreckers
SV: feen vs hjkhj - closer than some ppl might think cause feen likes to cteam if needed and hjk is not that hard to cteam if u try
SV: Ming549 vs Txunt! - this is where my son will prove is he's got that shit on or not for this season
SV: Jojen vs MachJacob
SV: JoelXLeaf vs Tsuki
SS: Stareal vs OranBerryBlissey10
SM: Xiri vs xXcrossbowXx
ORAS: Miyami~~~ vs Fragments
BW: TyCarter vs Guille

SV: 8truc vs Ampha
SV: Soul King0 vs DKM
SS: The Strap vs Meru
SM: lza vs Master Chief
ORAS: fakenagol vs sky
BW: Raceding vs Baddy
ADV: Indulge in dreams vs JabbaTheGriffin - I do not count out Jabba here at all, just bolding out of recency and familiarity more than anything.
Bo3: Metallica126 vs robjr

Bibliotheca Blazes (5) vs (5) MrSpeed Boosters
SV: Hoops vs THE_CHUNGLER
SV: Cow vs Daharan
SV: eifo vs Slikkles
SV: Kjay500% vs kimer - This is probs the decider here, NC can very well win this but the team choices are kind of obvious. If they switch it up it's also taking them out of their comfort zone which is where I give the edge to NC. Idk team choices decide this one.
