Metagame SCL I LC Discussion

LilyAC vs KSG
Toadow vs dcae
teal6 vs daunt vs
kythr vs boulicrok - this ones a 50/50 to me, honestly not sure
Wail Wailord vs Laroxyl
 
LilyAC vs KSG - I think everyone is favoring lil yac in the mu
Toadow vs dcae - both are coming off wins; dcae's win was shaky to say the least but i think he has the higher ceiling
teal6 vs daunt vs - he said he's going 6-3 or better so im bolding him
kythr vs boulicrok - gut pick tbh; I think this is the week for kythr to rebound from his bad start and live up to the hype
Wail Wailord vs Laroxyl - gotta go with the guy that is 2-0; he drew a good matchup against one of the best builders in the tier, and I don't expect that to change against a volatile builder

Week 1: 5/5 Week 2: 2/5
 
LilyAC vs KSG
Toadow vs dcae - go foxes
teal6 vs daunt vs - if he wins i do well in the contest, if he loses i dont have to live in a world where dvs is 3-0. win-win
kythr vs boulicrok - pretty likely i'll get burned for this, but i havent seen a kythr team that i liked so far this meta. hope he turns that around though
Wail Wailord vs Laroxyl

if im not lazy ill do an actual post

Interesting Trends from Week 2:
  1. Mienfoo reaches 100% usage: More High Jump Kick misses to come!
  2. A story of two Steel-types: Pawniard, the star of last week, went 1/6 this week, while Ferroseed returned from the grave for a 4/4 showing. Its high usage can be attributed to the prevalence of Staryu in the metagame, whose Analytic-boosted attacks basically shred anything that isn't Ferroseed.
  3. Grassy Seed Grookey went 0/3 this week: Is this set overrated? (s/o Merritt for finding this fact first)
  4. Foongus sucks: It went 0/2 in week 2 and sits at an abysmal 1/5 overall. It takes up an important Grass- and Poison-type slot and doesn't offer the same amount of defensive utility as Ferroseed or Koffing.
  5. Entry hazard control in LC is super bleak: With Timburr seeing basically no usage and Staryu forgoing Rapid Spin on many sets in favor of 3 Attacks + Recover, it has become apparent that having a traditional hazard remover is not longer a necessity.
 
Lilyac vs ksg: not much to say here. I can see ksg winning tho
Toadow vs dcae: toadow did great last week but dcae is dcae
teal6 vs daunt vs: incoming daunt vs (9-0 in scl)
Kythr vs boulicrok: im still a kythr believer hes just had a rough start
Wail wailord vs laroxyl: daunt believes in wail so i gotta bold him
