Week 6 Predictions:
LilyAC vs Luthier - Lily got low timerd in her game, while Luthier got a decisive victory against zeefable. Both have brought relatively safe builds, and I don't really expect that to change, which definitely favors Luthier.
kythr vs Toadow - Kythr brought a no-Steel team (in a Zig meta) and got punished. Toadow isn't exactly a master builder, seeing as how he brought water resist Porygon in his week 4 game and Shellder + Wynaut in week 1, but he seems to have more momentum.
Wail Wailord vs lax - Wail's teams have improved from his week 1 showing so I feel comfortable bolding him. Lax has a high playing ceiling, but I haven't seen him play LC since last lcpl and dont know if he knows the metagame at all.
Laroxyl vs dcae - Both brought HO last week and met two different endings. Dcae looked more comfortable piloting HO, which is a huge bonus for him in this Zig meta.
boulicrok vs daunt vs - If he loses twice in a row, he's getting memed.

- Mienfoo: This is the first week in SCL where Mienfoo saw below 90% usage.
- Zigzagoon: This week's featured pick was Zigzagoon, which saw 3 uses and managed 2 victories. It showcased how deadly it can be in the balance vs HO matchup and vice versa, exploiting teams that choose to forgo Steel-types or let their Steel-types get weakened a bit.
- Hyper Offense in the Current Meta: Week 5 saw multiple iterations of hyper offense, ranging from Laro's Spikes stack Carv HO and Wail's traditional Spikes stack to dcae's setup spam w/ Sinistea. Sign of a good meta????

Wail Wailord vs lax - Wail's teams have improved from his week 1 showing so I feel comfortable bolding him. Lax has a high playing ceiling, but I haven't seen him play LC since last lcpl and dont know if he knows the metagame at all.
Laroxyl vs dcae - Both brought HO last week and met two different endings. Dcae looked more comfortable piloting HO, which is a huge bonus for him in this Zig meta.
boulicrok vs daunt vs - If he loses twice in a row, he's getting memed.
Lilyac vs luthier: both look good i truly have no idea who to bold
Kythr vs toadow: i will never stop bolding kythr
Wail wailord vs lax: wail knows lc while i dont think lax does
Laroxyl vs dcae: dcae has been playing well, i think helm take this one, although it wont be easy
boulicrok vs daunt vs: daunt is winning but i bold bouli just in case he loses
Kythr vs toadow: i will never stop bolding kythr
Wail wailord vs lax: wail knows lc while i dont think lax does
