is it me or is it fakes?

[Fiend]

Fatty [55] vs [45] Sken -- Fatty has been doing well thus far, though Sken hasn't been doing bad really. Though this should be be close and could go either way, but both will be trying v hard and I think fatty is just a bit better overall.
Ice Tea [40] vs [60] Star -- ict has been doing great all things considered, but last week he got lucky and during Slam he was getting teams from starmaster. If star stops trying to be cool with weird teams and ict isn't lucky then it shouldn't really be that close.
Heysup [30] vs [70] zf -- zf is going 11-0, but if anyone as a chance at stopping him it is heysup.
Corporal Levi [55] vs [45] OP -- I feel like I never support OP. Levi is the man and simply better, but OP isn't bad per say.
ZoroDark [45] vs [55] mad0ka -- Zoro has impressed me far more than doka has, yet I think with how consistent her luck is in SPL, she has the edge.

 

[Lusa]

SM OU: Geemick vs Snowy. - unsure about Snowy after 2 meh weeks and i think Geemick is very good
SM OU: ABR vs FlamingVictini - ABR is really really good but i think fv knows his style and will come up with a way to win
SM OU: Blunder vs Gingy - Gingy is a solid player but blunder is one of the best at this tier
ORAS OU: Rodriblutar vs ChillShadow - Rodri has his game on point rn but ChillShadow is a good player overall and can also play oras ou at a high enough level to win
SM OU: psychicmewtwo vs Hector Hard Mode - i know psychicmewtwo is a lot better than people think and can def win this, will be close tho
SM OU: mencemeat vs Sabella - if he plays and doesnt get lucked theres no stopping to him
SM OU: Zamrock vs TheThorn - TheThorn has played his games well while Zamrocks win was more to bad playing from the opp than from his good playing
ORAS OU: njnp vs Axel10 - Axel has been playing super well and njnp can do better than what weve seen, i might be wrong on this one but think Axel takes it

SM OU: Adam vs Leftiez - Leftiez is very solid player and is more used to tour playing recently than Adam is
SM OU: Lysergic vs Get This Money - Lysergic is good but hasnt been playing well at all and i havent seen gtm play sumo either so cant really tell
SM OU: Lcans vs Cicada - havent seen anything from Cicada besides inconsistency and Lcans may not be at his main tier but is still a solid player
ORAS OU: High Impulse vs xray - High Impulse has been playing a lot better than xray has, maybe this week will be diferent but going with hi for now

SM OU: dragonuser vs p2 - dont really know much about dragonuser while ik p2 is a good player so going for him
SM OU: reiku vs Steve Angello - still think reiku might be a bit rusty and Steve Angello played very well both games
SM OU: PDC vs Mazar - PDC has been playing really well and i havent seen anything from the other guy
ORAS OU: Trosko vs Nintendi - close game cause Trosko has been playing very well but Nintendi has the advantage on skill

SM OU: Ciele vs TDK - one of the best games (as it usually happens with Ciele) so its hard to tell but i think TDK has been playing better than Ciele has atm
SM OU: Obliviate vs kratosmana - kratosmana has been on point these 2 weeks and although Obliviate migh surprise him i still give km the advantage
SM OU: mael vs reyscarface - havent seen much of mael in sumo so giving reyscarface the advantage
ORAS OU: Posho vs Nedor - Nedor didnt play well his last game and i think Posho really wants to bounce back this week

[blunder]

Cryonicles (0) vs Indie Scooters (1)

SM OU: psychicmewtwo vs Hector Hard Mode: val forgot to buy an ubers player so psychicmew2 became his player so now val must have forgotten an sm ou 1 so now psychicmewtwos in here to patch up yet another hole on the cryonicles, both these dudes play aggresive as fuck to where it can go badly so goin with the heart and soul of canada cuz if he starts doin bad canada is fucked in 5 months
SM OU: mencemeat vs Sabella - second best player in spl history, turned stours to twitch chat yesterday so cant go against him. sabella is decent but has been playin pretty nervously while my AlakaFAM :joy: :joy: the mencemeat is all about that calm mind.
SM OU: Zamrock vs TheThorn - zamrock a wild card in these games and lost in a foolish 1 last week after comin off the fastest win of all time while thethorn got wrapped up in 14 turns vs god pdc. that bein said thethorn played an excellent game vs xray so id consider this rather even
SM Ubers: Poek97 vs Gunner Rohan - ggunner
SM LC: Ice Tea vs Star - both are decidedly average but scooters retains lookin like a clean 0-27, ict gonna win
SM DOU: KyleCole vs Biosci
ORAS OU: njnp vs Axel10 - famed smogon outlaw njnp tries to take on the sheriff himself. axel10 has been nothin short of impressive in the last year of tournaments so i think he will win this one as he is the strongest spaniard of all time. both are 2-0 tho so shud be fun
BW OU: SoulWind vs Jirachee - cant root against some1 so consistent, scooters retains are hot ass
ADV OU: Fakes vs Ojama - ojama is a sly dog and knows fakes will b there to fight come sunday, he told me hes starting spl fr this week but if he loses again hes gonna say, "lol i said that after midseason is when ill try" expectin him 2 win bc realistically how many times can this 26k team cancer lose.
GSC OU: Colchonero vs Mr.378 - easiest 6-0 of dude's life


Congregation of the Classiest (0) vs Firebot Falcons (0)

SM OU: Adam vs Leftiez - adam is the greatest player to ever come from po while leftiez been bulkin up as of late playin smogtours friendlies. if leftiez starts winning adam will just buy smogon and make sure he loses.
SM OU: Lysergic vs Get This Money - mob barley had a bisharp and should have lost yday, hes but a shell of his former self. gtm been in command of the olt goons but also donated his game yday
SM OU: Lcans vs Cicada - cicada has the trend of bringing bulky offense do nothing teams every single week of every tournament ever while lcans beat me in a tournament once so statistics dont lie, lcans will win
SM Ubers: sin and victimization vs Lacus Clyne - dude didnt say gg when the psychicmew2 thrashed him with carefully excogitated plays, so rootin for lacusclyne
ORAS OU: High Impulse vs xray - would put both of these dudes even in playing ability. amir came off a good win and played well in both his games while xray misplayed his g1 and ran into shit ass matchup in his w2 game. despite this xray went 0-2 last yr and then won w3 so no way he loses
BW OU: Eo Ut Mortus vs Shoka - mcmeghan isn't good enough to think of giga drain tentacruel so im assuming shokas team was leaked and thus his carefully crafted seismitoad shit was counterteamed. eo been sayin on the low that classiest is nothin short of shambolic but if he goes 0-3 omfuga finna sell that ass back at mids



SM OU: dragonuser vs p2 - last time these 2 fought p2 washed dragonuser and yesterday p2 followed up the worst bluff of all time with the greatest bluff of all time so impossible to not predict him to win. me and du friends on discord tho
SM OU: reiku vs Steve Angello - spl7 shark bffs, reiku shuda won last wk while steve angello put leftiez in cardiac arrest with litios, expecting reiku to win regardless cuz hes second strongest spaniard of all time after axel10 while steve angello is probably 3rd on german pr
SM OU: PDC vs Mazar - one of the magic 5 best players of all time, pdcs brand is 2007 rocawear he should win this game no doubt
SM Ubers: Lord Outrage vs Edgar - lord outrage sent the entirety of the scooters on tilt last wk but was also free points back on the po ladder, id think from the way he talks he'd be the mencemeat of ubers but hes shown an average performance, edgar up in dis mom
SM DOU: I Am a Rookie vs MajorBowman - now this is the mencemeat of doubles, no hes better. easily the most entertaining dubs player of all time, expecting another 6-0 to be added to his collection
ORAS OU: Trosko vs Nintendi - ranked third on the spaniard power rankings, troskos style is impetuous and defense impregnable. nintendi came swinging with the worst oras stall ive ever seen last week but luckily for him all of xrays stallbreakers got haxd, troskemon gonna stunt
BW OU: dice vs McMeghan - wish both could lose but hav to give the edge to dice. he dealt a devastating blow to jirachee last week while mcmeghan won with a counterteam and even then had to hax so its pretty clear who wins this matchup. ive seen beached whales make a better comeback to pokemon u feel me


SM OU: Ciele vs TDK - tdk bragged about being creative this week and then brought stall with a different water type, this is like me bringing hyper offense with dragonite over salamence. ciele been usin the same shit weekly however and i think tdk will bring smth weird and catch him off guard. despite this tdk is without a doubt the biggest (BAN ME PLEASE) and matched up twice with friends in 2 spls and stalled both so my heart rootin for ciele
SM OU: Obliviate vs kratosmana - as cbb said, raiders got the strongest sm in the game and anti is no exception. hes been playin great thus far and i xpect him to win this. that bein said obliviate hasn't been playin amazin this season but i consider him 2 be some wild threat under wraps so i think this will be close
SM OU: mael vs reyscarface - easily the hardest thug in SM OU, i said mencemeat was the 2nd best of all time, well thats bc this guy is #1. waits til the week doesnt matter then plays opponents at 6am their time and farms free wins with toxapex. easily the player to beat this spl, expecting 11-0 from him
SM Ubers: Level 56 vs Hack - lvl56 been consistent forever but impossible to root against idm hack
ORAS OU: Posho vs Nedor - nedor been playing great so far and posho def hasn't been playin bad but goin wit nedor cuz i think hes better
BW OU: Finchinator vs Jayde - last week jayde played the best game of bw this world has seen while finchinator played a victini missing 256 evs, expecting this to be a blowout, finch is nowhere near the ability of jayde

 

[MajorBowman]

the show continues vs I Am A Rookie at 5 eastern/10 gmt thursday night

 

[Sken]

playing against fatty somewhen on sunday

awoo!

ps: star, heysup, op and zorodark to win

[Updated Kanto]

Hide

SM OU: Geemick vs Snowy. - Geemick was impressive last week and Snowy probably got over spl jitters, if snowy brings a concrete team this could go either way.
SM OU: ABR vs FlamingVictini - ABR is on a roll and FV is solid so this will be a good match, I'm leaning towards ABR for now
SM OU: Blunder vs Gingy - If Gingy doesn't watch zamrock's prediction video and learns about what blunder will bring then blunder should win
ORAS OU: Rodriblutar vs ChillShadow - Rodri is on fire while I don't really know much about CS except that he qualified for a stour i think


SM OU: psychicmewtwo vs Hector Hard Mode - psychicmewtwo owning in ubers and now sun and moon whats next ? LC?
SM OU: mencemeat vs Sabella - Mencemeat still got it in sun and moon, if he doesn't get lucked he should win
SM OU: Zamrock vs TheThorn - both concrete players, despite being PDC Food last week TheThorn is still a solid player, but I'll lean more towards Zam's creativity
ORAS OU: njnp vs Axel10 - Axel10 is amazing but it'll be more entertaining if njnp wins


SM OU: Adam vs Leftiez - Another good match, I expect Leftiez to win if Adam keeps bringing rmts (there's only so many good ones)
SM OU: Lysergic vs Get This Money - Mob didn't have his best performance last week but the other guy lost to p2 and fell for the gosh dang this pokemon bluff.
SM OU: Lcans vs Cicada - Cicada hasn't been that impressive lately so I'll give Lcans the edge.
ORAS OU: High Impulse vs xray - Xray really is unlucky I'll give it 1 more week before he starts going on a killstreak though.


SM OU: dragonuser vs p2 - p2 has steve for help and his opponents always fall for his strategic bluffs
SM OU: reiku vs Steve Angello - Good match reiku got lucked in his debut but I expect Steve to take this via unexpected set
SM OU: PDC vs Mazar - PDC with the help of ben gay is a strong force
ORAS OU: Trosko vs Nintendi - some1 said nintendi is underrated and I have to agree, but it should be a good match unless nintendi brings some weird stall caus I know trosko aint losing to no stall

SM OU: Ciele vs TDK - I feel like if Ciele wants to win he needs to move out of his comfort zone with 'standard mons' and experiment and have some fun with the new things introduced in sm
SM OU: Obliviate vs kratosmana - He's been on fire lately, don't see him losing this week
SM OU: mael vs reyscarface - I don't know what type of player mael is but reyscarface has sum momentum going for him
ORAS OU: Posho vs Nedor - Posho has been playing solidly, I expect him to pick up his first W this week

Predictions

Alpha Ruiners (7) vs Wifi Wolfpack (5)

SM OU: Geemick [65] vs Snowy. [35] - Snowy. just seems kinda mediocre while Geemick is solid
SM OU: ABR [65] vs FlamingVictini [35] - Hard to predict against ABR rn
SM OU: Blunder [57.5] vs Gingy [42.5] - Both good players, but Blunder has been more successful overall
SM Ubers: Astounded [55] vs aim [45] - Interesting line-up change by Wolf that could end up working wonders if CS does well in ORAS or could end up screwing them out of multiple wins if CS doesn't work out and Astounded keeps playing well
SM LC: Fatty [40] vs Sken [60] - Better LCer rn imo, but Fatty can always surprise, so should be good
SM DOU: Memoric [49] vs SamVGC [51] - This is going to be close imo, these two are both middle of the pack in doubles
ORAS OU: Rodriblutar [55] vs ChillShadow [45] - Rodri has all the support in the world and while he isn't playing amazingly, he's playing fairly well and CS is going to be under some pressure here
BW OU: Sugarhigh [45] vs Luck>Skill [55] - More interested in the teams brought than the game, tbh, but should be close. I feel like both of these guys have something to really prove here as they each have a chance to break into starting line-ups on a consistent basis, but neither of them has proven too much as of late, so we'll see who ends up coming out on top in a game that probably means a lot more than one would think.
DPP OU: Smurf. [47.5] vs Void [52.5] - I just don't think Smurf. has the capacity to mix it up while playing at a high level and Void has solid support and could be versatile (!? hope so, for his own sake)
ADV OU: Golden Sun [40] vs Astamatitos [60] - better player right now and more into the tour
GSC OU: Idiotfrommars [65] vs Fear [35] - Fear has been disappointing so far in terms of level of play, imo
RBY OU: MetalGro$$ [60] vs Nails [40] - Think he's just the better player in this tier

Cryonicles (3) vs Indie Scooters (9) - it'll end up closer than this, imo, but still Scooters series

SM OU: psychicmewtwo [45] vs Hector Hard Mode [55] - close game and psymew2 looked solid in WCOP, but HHH is good and he has better support than his opponent
SM OU: mencemeat [62.5] vs Sabella [37.5] - Jamvad's the best player of all time while Sabella's just solid, so it's unfortunately going to be a snack for the man who nearly broke SmogTours bop
SM OU: Zamrock [42.5] vs TheThorn [57.5] - Zamrock looked mediocre last week and Thorn is doing well, so leaning his way, but Zamrock could bring out something sinister and take this one away from CBB's hype child, without a doubt
SM Ubers: Poek97 [49] vs Gunner Rohan [51] - Poek is an outstanding player, but I have no clue how good he is in Ubers and Gunner is really good, imo, so it will be tough, but I certainly think he has a good shot
SM LC: Ice Tea [45] vs Star [55] - Despite a rocky start, Star's still solid as fuck and more experienced in the tier, but should be close
SM DOU: KyleCole vs Biosci
ORAS OU: njnp [37.5] vs Axel10 [62.5] - This guy's unstoppable - and just to clarify, that was not direct at NJNP at all, not in the slightest, not even remotely close, nope
BW OU: SoulWind [60] vs Jirachee [40] - Soulwind's incredibly solid when it comes to play and prep while Jirachee has gotten off to a slow start, so we shall have to see if Jirachee can pull off the upset or if Soulwind will continue to hold strong. I think Soulwind's evolution, of sorts, from a player who predominantly plays Sands, like most other BWers hahaha, to a diverse player who isn't afraid to bring anything will help him in a game against someone like Jirachee, who has struggled to gain traction so far and might struggle when it comes to preparing for Soulwind this week due to his aforementioned versatility. This game is probably the second most hype BW game I'd like to personally see behind the game I will discuss later, Dice vs McMeghan.
DPP OU: SUPER MARSHALL [35] vs Philip7086 [65] - Marshall's inconsistent and gimmicky while Phil's consistently solid. If anyone where to upset Phil, however, it'd probably be Marshall with some surprise sets/mons, so he has a fighting chance if he plays his cards right
ADV OU: New Breed Fakes [45] vs Ojama [55] - Ojama's really good, but Fakes has been playing some of his best lately, so it could go either way
GSC OU: Colchonero [47.5] vs Mr.3-078 [52.5] - Could go either way really because Colcho is probably better when he's at his peak, but he seems to be far from it, so I'm going to favor Mr.378 due to his recent success and motivation to continue to do well
RBY OU: Peasounay [51] vs Crystal_ [49] - Lots of high praise for peasounay so far, especially from the RBY crowd, but Crystal is 2-0 and has played well while Peas suffered a loss last week, so I think it's going to be incredibly tight and I'm going to ever-so-slightly favor Peas due to the hype surrounding him oo

Congregation of the Classiest (6) vs Firebot Falcons (6)

SM OU: Adam [47.5] vs Leftiez [52.5] - Adam seems to be a good player, but his RMT meme'ing probably has to stop if he wishes to take down a solid, knowledgeable player like Leftiez, assuming that Leftiez doesn't fall into his old SPL tilt
SM OU: Lysergic [55] vs Get This Money [45] - Interesting game and I'm looking forward to this, but Lysergic is going to play with a chip on his shoulder now that he wants to prove he can win without haxing out Mr. Mence, so I'm looking forward to seeing him play (especially if he stops using SD Fightzium Bulu oo)
SM OU: Lcans [45] vs Cicada [55] - Cicada's due for a W and Lcans hasn't ever really stood out to me, but perhaps I'm wrong as I do not know him all too well
SM Ubers: sin and victimization [42.5] vs Lacus Clyne [57.5] - Fomer strikes me as mediocre while ladder strikes me as relatively solid despite a rough start
SM LC: Heysup [52.5] vs zf [47.5] - #1 player who is cold vs #3 player who is hot, going to stick w/ the 'best lc player' here, but zf taking it wouldn't surprise me whatsoever. Also, starmaster's dicksucking appears to bring heysup bad luck and zf lucked star, so...you never know n_n
SM DOU: Braverius [65] vs kamikaze [35] - Braverius is really fucking good while Kami has some work to do, imo
ORAS OU: High Impulse [47.5] vs xray [52.5] - Amir w/out ABR in ORAS is always questionable to me while xray is usually solid, esp. when he's not haxed to shit or tilted
BW OU: Eo Ut Mortus [52.5] vs Shoka [47.5] - I like this roster change from the Classiest. Eo is solid in BW and I am not sure if Shoka will know what to expect or show up too well, especially after last week's match against McMeghan. I think that team selection is going to be crucial in this game as I am sure Eo can bring out anything from Sun to stall (or even sun stall, for fucks sake) while Shoka has been leaning on his Moltres stuff or standard (bulky) offensive teams for a majority of his time in the tournament scene. I think that a player like Eo tends to match up well with someone like Shoka, especialy if he does his homework, but Shoka is entirely capable of changing things up well enough and playing at a high level that this game really can go either way, to be quite honest.
DPP OU: 6A9 Ace Matador [45] vs Sauga [55] - Sauga impressed me both weeks while AM appears to be a shadow of his former self. Had I picked this game knowing both would be at their best, I'd pick AM everytime, but I think one's on a different level of familiarity and competence than the other rn, hence my prediction
ADV OU: Danilo [57.5] vs Triangles [42.5] - Triangles disappointed me week one while Nilo is sorta hit or miss nowadays, I guess, but I think his odds here are solid enough
GSC OU: Earthworm [55] vs Mr.E [45] - Worms is hard to predict against, but Mr.E is solid, so it should be close
RBY OU: Lusch [55] vs Bedschibaer [45] - Lusch is apparently the best fucking RBYer out there after pretty much being nonexistent in the SPL / WCOP scene until a few months ago, but his play so far has shown that he's legit, so ya

Stark Sharks (10) vs Circus Maximus Tigers (2) - Will be a bit closer, but not too much

SM OU: dragonuser [57.5] vs p2 [42.5] - dragonuser is going to turn some heads when he shows people he's better at SM than he was in ORAS back when he made a kinda lazy showing in WCOP, I think he's going to be in the starting line-up for a while with a solid level of success while p2 is kinda just average in this pool of players and probably has some work to do when it comes to prep..at least he's not afraid to bring some ballsy stuff, which is respectable, but I think dragonuser is going to do well here
SM OU: reiku [55] vs Steve Angello [45] - reiku's really good and he sorta showed that last week, but the random number generator wasn't particularly friendly with him, unfortunately
SM OU: PDC [70] vs Mazar [30] - Young Palkia Dialga Clash has shown that he can abandon his trusty Hippowdon and Clefable in exchange for a truly threatening Tyranitar and Tapu Lele, which is the first step in become slightly less one-dimmensional fuck. Pair that with the fact that he has been playing well so far and Mazar is kinda an oddball in this pool (not that he's a bad player, but more that I don't think he's the most capable in the SM OU tier) and I think PDC is the clear favorite.
SM Ubers: Lord Outrage [62.5] vs Edgar [37.5] - [TR]Executive Archer won't get his team 'leaked' this week and he won't get 'counterteamed', so he should win, right?
SM LC: Corporal Levi [60] vs OP [40] - Really like what I've seen out of Levi so far, this guy is an incredibly capable player who preps well
SM DOU: I Am a Rookie [40] vs MajorBowman [60] - Still don't have too much faith in Rookie while Bowman has been incredibly in his SPL games so far
ORAS OU: Trosko [55] vs Nintendi [45] - Just think Trosko's the better of the two players, but I'm honestly not too sure about this one
BW OU: dice [55] vs McMeghan [45] - I reckon this is going to be among my favorite games this week and it's certainly for good reason. Dice and McMeghan are very..different players, presences, etc. and they're both playing well so far (1-1 records that really should probably be 2-0). McMeghan is the better player of the two and I think he's one of the best overall talents in the tournament scene, but he seems set on essentially handicapping himself through odd team choices, memes, and simply not putting in the effort that most of his opponents likely will put in when it comes to building, scouting, etc. On the contrary, dice has been building some very strong teams and he also has been bringing things that tend to do well vs his opponent that can sway the game in his favor. Normally, I'd favor McMeghan here regardless if he at least put in minimal effort with team selection and he was playing at his peak, but the thing that turns the tables is the way that dice has played so far, which has been very good. I think that any edge that McMeghan normally would have is kinda diminished, if it still even exists, due to how well dice is playing lately and I also think that the momentum dice has when it comes to prepping well so far and winning last week against a solid opponent will help him beat roro in a close game, a highlight for sure.
DPP OU: ToF [52.5] vs Tamahome [47.5] - ToF has looked better the first two weeks, but I think Tama is the better overall player, so it should be close. Slight edge to ToF due to how well he has seemed to perform so far.
ADV OU: undisputed [55] vs JabbaTheGriffin [45] - Another close one, but I think Undi is a bit more motivated, active, etc., so leaning his way.
GSC OU: Veteran In Love [49] vs giara [51] - Man I haven't been entirely impressed by Giara in GSC tbh, but ViL just isn't meant to be in this tier and this line-up sorta needs him in GSC, so that's gonna pan out awkwardly for them although the rest of the Sharks are hella solid and they always have MDrag, Conflict, etc. to help, so I guess this could be close if ViL tries his hardest (hell, I'd even favor him if he played his best w/ a legit team, but I don't know if either of those conditions will be met)
RBY OU: The_Chaser [60] vs Golden Gyarados [40] - Chaser's really good, so favoring him
