KSG (50) vs (50) Laroxyl - i still have faith in ksg he could easily be 2-1 rn
Toadow (55) vs (45) Wail Wailord - toadows last 2 teams have been pretty good so i favour him but im predicting wail bc go wail
Luthier (55) vs (45) kythier - not too sure about this bc luthier might be washed, but at least i know hes playing a ton of practice games to shake off the rust. kythr hasnt been great

LilyAC vs daunt vs - i feel like dvs will pull it off again but have to bold lily here
dcae vs boulicrok - dcae, like, REALLY hates this meta
KSG vs Laroxyl - laro has some big wins whereas ksg is 0-3 but this mu is still prob like 51-49 or 55-45
Toadow vs Wail Wailord - go team
Luthier vs kythr - must bold against midwest but this is quite even imo hopefully it'll be a good one

Might as well put my own predictions:
LilyAC vs Toadow - Toadow brought Water resist Porygon into LO Staryu and nearly won so this might be closer than expected, but I think Lily is one of the few people that can exploit this style of building.
Luthier vs KSG - KSG has looked tilted the past two weeks, and I dont expect this to stop. Luthier had a pretty good showing with a pretty solid win over kythr and a solid team.
kythr vs dcae - I liked dcae's build and hope to see more of these unorthodox and slightly fishy builds.
Wail Wailord vs daunt vs - He's bringing my build so he can't lose
Laroxyl vs Boulicrok - I respect bringing the sun team so he gets the bold. I do think Bouli letting Mienfoo take a para against dcae's team with Fight resist Pony-G was a bit sloppy by his standards.

- More Team Diversity: This week, we saw more offensive archetype being brought, like dcae's Psychic-spam and Laroxyl's sun team.
- God Natu chan: Everyone's new favorite bird made 5 appearances this week and won in 4 of them. It takes advantage of Pawniard's lackluster usage and the rise of FerroKoff cores to wreak havoc.
- Fall of Grookey and Mudbray: Two Pokemon that were expected to dominate the metagame only made 2 total appearances combined this week.
- Variance???: Team compositions are more varied compared to the earlier weeks, showcasing that the meta might have stabilized a bit (even if Speed tie central is still prevalent).

lilyac vs toadow: lily is lily and shes looking great

Kythr vs dcae: im still a kythr believer but hes 1-3 and against dcae
Wail wailord vs daunt vs: if i get this right daunt will lose the bet and if i dont daunt will be 5-0 in scl so win/win
