Missed the first week of the prediction tour so I'm gonna post what i think about the matchup's for SM here
Congregation of the Classiest vs
Team Raiders
SM OU: 1 True Lycan vs
bro fist | Power rankings don't lie, this guy is nuts and his username is envious
SM OU: Finchinator vs
Talah | Honestly think this is a upset in the making.
SM UU: edi0n vs
Pak | Pak proved the haters wrong showing he could pop off even without pearl's support and edi0n hasn't shown much diversity in his building even if there is only a small sample size for him.
SM RU:
Nat vs Cynara | Golisipod bout to crush souls
SM NU:
Garay oak vs SPACE FORCE meeps | meeps hasn't been active in a while, and I think people are underselling garay's versatility, especially with support from finch.
SM DOU:
EmbCPT vs Biosci | Highlight of this series IMO, two DOU goats, favoring embCPT because I think he has the teambuilding edge.
Cryonicles vs
Wi-Fi Wolfpack
SM OU:
ABR vs Charmflash | ABR is the Armada of pokemon, sad to have to predict against a user with a great taste in league champs tho
SM OU: BHARATH_THEBEST vs
Kickasser | BTB been away for a while & kickasser has been taking names.
SM UU: HT vs
bugzinator | tony and bugz have worked together before, and while ABR support is amazing, I think people are underselling how much tony brings to the table in terms of UU help.
SM RU:
Ajna vs Welli0u | Highlight imo, everyone sleeping on the Well but Ajna is fire just like his music, excited to see this one!
SM NU: elodin vs
Eternally | Haven't watched elodin play in NU so I favor eternally.
SM DOU:
SMB vs Human |
Alpha Ruiners vs Stark Sharks
SM OU:
Empo vs Tricking | Favoring empo because tricking's run in the latest individual tour didn't look very good.
SM OU: imsosorrylol vs
Tamahome | Tama is really good at putting up solid records in SPL, I don't expect much different this time around
SM UU: Pearl vs Lycans | I think this one depends on the team selection on lycans' part but its too close to call.
SM RU:
RedEmption vs EviGaro | Have a gut feeling that this one is going to break Red's way
SM NU: LAX vs Teddeh | OML. Another showdown between the #1 and #2 from the PR that is too close to pick a favorite.
SM DOU:
Croven vs fespy | Haven't heard of fespy before so favoring croven.
Dragonspiral Tyrants vs
Circus Maximus Tigers
SM OU: Poek vs
Eternal Spirit | ES has been in form while poek has been off, hoping to see a good showing from poek this SPL, but gonna favor the tigerboy this time.
SM OU: Mana vs
Sacri' | Sacri’s the better player IMO.
SM UU:
Christo vs HarrisIsAwesome | Christo is such a solid player I don't see him giving harris an opportunity to punish him.
SM RU: aim vs
Pohjis | Pohjis won the last time they played, expecting the same outcome this time.
SM NU: ict vs
Osh | Osh has looked really good in NU as of late, highlight for me cuz I always love watching ict play.
SM DOU: emforbes vs
MajorBowman | Bowman had 1 bad showing and people write him off? This dude is insane and im expecting him to come out on top of the doubles field once again this SPL.
Ever Grande BIGs vs Indie Scooters
SM OU: Sabella vs
FMG | As far as I remember Sabella has only looked impressive with rain, so bring rain counters.
SM OU:
Cdumas vs Lopunny Kicks | I think this is going to be a long one where the player with the better long term plan will end up winning, and the frenchman's longterm gameplans have seemed more thorough
SM UU: Sage vs
robjr | assuming the team matchups are even, I think rob is the better pilot then sage.
SM RU:
KW vs Aeroblacktyl | KW has been taking names in RU.
SM NU:
Kushalos vs Realistic Waters | The chef is a really good at making plays, so giving him the slight edge.
SM DOU:
Ezrael vs miltankmilk | I think ezrael should win this one.
