Vulpix03 vs Sjneider - gonna bet the upset here. neider didn't get the opportunity to look strong in the first two weeks but last week he did well, as he tends to do with fat gigaferro teams. that being said, his strong preference for those teams makes him very predictable in the builder and i figure vulpix as someone who would take advantage of that
false vs TJ - could be a very interesting match, false is 3-0 so far altho he hasn't really had to step it up in his games so far, whereas tj had a great showcase week 1 but got trounced by excal's drampa last week. im thinking tj has to step it up in the builder cuz he's been suffering from a reliance on the same kind of team structure as neider (admittedly, it's hard not to in this meta), if he struggles to make something creative and consistent i think false will win
xavgb vs termi
tlenit vs Dragon Claw - neither player has been particularly impressive in this tour so far, tlenit's random perrserker sweep accounting for the only win between these two. i think both had differing degrees of good mu last week despite (or maybe because of?) some weird choices in the builder, but neither player took full advantage of that. i think tlenit is better at winning under questionable circumstances so i'll give him the edge, but whoever wins, the audience probably loses
Raiza vs Excal - excal's been looking solid, raiza slightly less so i suppose. havent liked the latter's teams as much in the last couple of weeks either. not much else to say on this one, could be a good one tho
