predix so bouff has to do them

Dreamyard Diancies (6) vs (2) Lake of Outrage Sandacondas
SS: Cynde vs odr - fire mu going with odr bc hes gotta be confident after his win vs smogon tour finalist sw
SS: Accelgor vs Sabella - accel is my dad
SS: Juno vs Gilbert arenas - i suppose marcops had enough of adv? no idea how he will do in ss but ill go with juno
SM: Xiri vs avarice - idk
ORAS: Killintime vs Kreme - kt is a vets supporter and im a fan of his teams
BW: Finchinator vs Amukamara - god liam
DPP: Heysup vs MrAldo - heysup finally got his first win last week and i dont see him stopping now. not too impressed with aldos play so far but he brought some neat sets last week so hopefully we can see less of the former and more of the latter.
ADV: Expulso vs Highways - highways beat me in adv cup so he must be good

Bebo Brand Barboaches (4) vs (4) Union Cave Dunsparce
SS: Notily vs CBU - cbu is my other dad
SS: Gondra vs frisoeva - idk
SS: Alpha Rabbit vs Moutemoute - i suppose one has to bold moute? hes been getting some unlosable mus but i also dont wanna discredit him so yea
SM: vivalospride vs Santu - i love viv but santu is v powerful
ORAS: Pearl vs Kink - pearl narrowly dodged a moth sweep last week whereas kink continues to roll up with unconventional setup sweepers that win him games. ill go with pearl bc of gut feeling but this could the other way too.
BW: EviGaro vs watashi - plot armor evi is apparently a force to be reckoned with
DPP: TSR vs atomicllamas - both come off a loss but i gotta bold my son ofc
ADV: Plas vs Finding True Love - oh lord this'll be a game to miss. expecting magmar vs lanturn goodness.

Los Cherno Bouffalants (5) vs (3) TDK Today at 22:01 lily my team has decided we will not have a team name
SS: Nat vs umbry - idk
SS: Ark vs SoulWind - go gc!!!
SS: Askov vs suapah - idk
SM: robjr vs Sjneider - rob only lost to pif so far and with him out of the picture i dont see anyone stopping this man ;_;
ORAS: Garay oak vs obii - garays been on a rough losing streek after w1 and obii picked up two solid wins the last two weeks so ill go with the trend
BW: Punny vs Cam - go cam!!
DPP: Tomahawk vs Eternal Spirit - big fan of toma so far
ADV: BKC vs Star - bkc will prob win

predix so bouff has to do them (me version)


Bebo Brand Barboaches (4) vs (4) Union Cave Dunsparce
SS: Notily vs CBU - u hate 2 see it
SS: Gondra vs frisoeva - LindaBealinda wormcity gl @Lindworms
Sorry didnt have much to say for those 2
SS: Alpha Rabbit vs Moutemoute - moute gets a lot of hate but he is 4-0, whereas a rabbit failed to kill a pokemon in a complete bodybag by estarossa. He could bounce back here tbh but moute builds in a similar out of the box way toesta which leads me to favor him
SM: vivalospride vs Santu - Viv comes off a very impressive win (tho a slow start until then) but Santu in lower tier PLs is scary as FUCK, definitely like a top 5 player i wouldnt want to face. Perhaps Viv will take down 2 consecutive Slam winners after the big W vs Adaam, though
ORAS: Pearl vs Kink - not gonna act like i know whats gonna happen here at all
BW: EviGaro vs watashi - dogshit tier, flcl’s a better player (due to him being super good, since evi is definitely good as well imo) and wont get tilted by evi malding in chat. Again tho literally erase this tier from existence every evi game is completely brain numbing (like 4 game changing luck turns per player, both players, it’s so bizarre) Even I only got hax in half my games LOL
DPP: TSR vs atomicllamas - I think llamas is an awesome player but dont rate him highly in this tier, whereas i rate tsr very highly in old gens uu
ADV: Plas vs Finding True Love - FTL brought vs me a team with 1) no cleric + 2) no mon over like 250 speed (fastest a ... dd altaria?). This team was genuinely horrendous, im sorry but it must be said. The lanturn meant gligar just won, if that was a walrein things look a lot better (and very little abused para on this defensive team). Havent seen plas much but hes good and beat star and/or bkc iirc?


Dragon's Den Dragonairs (5) vs (3) Brave Mew World
SS: Kushalos vs Camarade Papadov
SS: Feliburn vs Twilight
SS: LNumbers vs Estarossa
3 easy bolds here i dont trust the ladder fiends in this tour, always good to have new ppl coming in but i dont think any of them have put up a good record AND their opponents look solid. Feli > twi bc feli goat and the lily lucked twi stuff has now predisposed me to root against him, gaze upon what you’ve done and tremble vivalospride also i think i saw him lose a game in ruwc whereas latin america almost made playoffs. Some great reasoning here haha right guys
SM: PinkDragonTamer vs Adaam - PDT is a dangerous player, both to himself and to others depending on how he predicts. Trophy winner adaam is gonna be well equipped to handle aggro players like p ditty; he did win a trophy over lax, after all
ORAS: Pak vs Wanka - im too young for this stuff but i think pak = bold
BW: Chill Shadow vs r0ady - you think im gonna write something about this? Lmfao man fuck this tier
DPP: Thiago Nunes vs esche - they were both on my ru snake team hi guys!! Esche is a classy 3-0 whereas nunes hasnt played yet, and his past success came from yeezy building and passing a ton as his manager. Bebo (another teammate oml...) doesnt know dpp enough to do the same, iirc, but maybe fatty can support nunes some if he’s active. Esche wilcbe way more comfy in this tier tho, edge
ADV: brewfasa vs xJoelituh - the lucked by expulso grudge match OML bolding fatty bc i got like a 6% chance win vs him instead of a 15-30% chance win vs joelituh, plus joelituh brought boom spam vs me (and more importantly fatty is a little better overall, both in this tier + as a player)

Los Cherno Bouffalants (5.5) vs (2.5) TDK Today at 22:01 lily my team has decided we will not have a team name
SS: Nat vs umbry - nat has been extremely good, to the surprise of literally no one besides maybe me (hater) (l2p expulso??). i mean i knew she has been good, wasnt sure abt lately, but she seems to have rly gotten back into great form this tour with big wins over players like kushalos and cbu. Both are undefeated, so hype, but ive heard umby’s wins were less convincing so predicting nat. Also apparently umby lost to highways so 3-1 nvm
SS: Ark vs SoulWind - sw is one of the goats. imo dont use regieleki here tho it rly isnt good
SS: Askov vs suapah - i love askov (r9 steal) (boa morning Askov ), suapah is def danger tho. Bolding askov any time in this tour would b super biased tho because oh my god the game where he didnt overheat moute’s scizor AAAAAAH I cant get it out of my head it haunts me
SM: robjr vs Sjneider - neider is good in general + in smuu, but robjr reaches a whole other level here. Every sm robjr game ive seen ends up being a total bodybag it’s awesome to watch. I dont expect that here necessarily, but he’s so nice in the tier
ORAS: Garay oak vs obii - garays been on a rough losing streek after w1 and obii picked up two solid wins the last two weeks but ill go against the trend, garay is for sure stronger as a player so should be able to reverse it here
BW: Punny vs Cam - moving on
DPP: Tomahawk vs Eternal Spirit - toma with bouff support prob a bit better
ADV: BKC vs Star - idk man, amazing match. I sadly dont have more to say since i havent had a chance to watch bkcs games here D: star owned me here tho so that makes me predisposed to believe in him somewhat. Id prob favor bkc + bouff support by a small fraction, but bkc lost the last 2 so i’ll cancel those 2 out and call it even

gl all, hope this was an entertaining read. If you think i forgot something yeah i prob did, this isnt my main tier and i havent caught every game so sry if i misrepresented u. but hopefully this is somewhat accurate, i’ll check back after this week

woo yea go diancies we will win the week

SS: Cynde vs odr - cyndes been bringing cool teams as always but odrs def a massive chad. last weeks game was super tight and haze tenta was for sure a good call LOL. cynde seemed to have to like run into kind of an unfortunate mu last week. i think he'll keep up the good pace he's been having but odrs gotta be one of the big motivators for this team's success over the past two weeks
SS: Accelgor vs Sabella - honestly i dont have much to say about this one cause how i feel about these players is pretty obvious, sabella didn't play last week and accel had a 5/6 red team so picking him ya
SS: Juno vs Gilbert arenas - i was about to say junos been struggling and is winless but then i went back to the chuerk game and slammed my space bar 204 times to make sure i was wrong. honestly this games going to be the funniest one of this week, i cannot possibly imagine this goes without some insanity happening. marcop in ss is interesting considering garay beat him with his dlc1 team like 2 days ago LOL but im very excited for this and honestly my gut is saying marcops pulling this out of his ass but i like cant really root against juno just cause shes a massive tryhard
SM: Xiri vs avarice - both are like p similar in my eyes, i actually didnt even watch avarices game so i had to go back to that. kind of a weird team but venomoth is destined to win in sm, always. this thing really fucking did 96 unboosted to a scizor. i also learned that avarice apparently deletes his old uu subforum posts after a while or something which is kind of lame
ORAS: Killintime vs Kreme - predicting oras games always fucking sucks because it involves going against at least one close friend and there are two here so the same thing applies. idk kt has been having it weird this season but hes also like more tenured than kreme here. feel like a total dickhead writing this fuck
BW: Finchinator vs Amukamara - this ones kinda tough, because liam has the better record than finch, but like its also finch. he got toge'd hard as shit last week so i cant really fault him for that one. liam brought a real fuckin hard rain cteam last week and called it right LOL god i feel bad for choolio. idk i just gotta trust finch more tho just cause
DPP: Heysup vs MrAldo - lasts weeks game for heysup was p interesting, lot of neat techs here and there. finally on the board so theres that. aldo got p unlucky with his rhyp and stuff last week but i did find his team neat even with the f*resight blastoise. that being said the experience gaps too wide for me to not go with heysup here
ADV: Expulso vs Highways - yea idk not much to say here either LOL expulso brought a p standard but cool team, appreciate the toxic encore walrein since thats kinda not as common these days i think...maybe. i know highways has played adv before because i clicked a game of him playing it in roa olympics i think but idr how that went

SS: Notily vs CBU - cbu saved the dunsparce's season last week so theres that. i actually didnt really watch the game too closely so now that i just opened the game i closed it as soon as i saw his team cause looking at that i already know how it went LOL at the very least i think bringing webs in this meta is kinda fun. notily i dont know too much about other than that he was on the friends and uses stall in adv so picking with what i know
SS: Gondra vs frisoeva - i cant really say anything i havent already said about gondra so picking him here, hes probably gonna go like 6-1 or something. friso is someone who i enjoy seeing play though os i think this might be a closeish game depending on how much he tries
SS: Alpha Rabbit vs Moutemoute - moutes been doing pretty solid, not too much to say about his games but he is varying it up so thats good to see. rabbit kinda got doinked by reuni last week and while i do think hes a better player im not sure how he'll fare here since moute is 4-0
SM: vivalospride vs Santu - viv finally won!!!! yes!!!! the game was hella weird but im happy. santus been doing p much how he should be and i think he'll give viv a tough fight but hopefully viv is going full tryhard mode overdrive now that hes copped one
ORAS: Pearl vs Kink - i said kt wouldnt fall for kinks tricks but well thats what ended up happening. i should stop predicting against kink and maybe i will but pearl is really in the groove right now. he really clutched it out with a fuckin delphox. thats legendary for sure
BW: EviGaro vs watashi - evis been probably the luckiest player this tour LOL its actually nuts. im very happy she said gg this time though. im a big c*p in that regard. assuming it stops here tho i think she'll prob win vs flcl cause her stuff matches up generally well against whatever id think flcl would bring and she'll prob try more than flcl (pretending thats a high bar)
DPP: TSR vs atomicllamas - tsr kinda played impatiently i think? last week but i guess going against ur father that sort of thing is bound to happen. in all seriousness he seems to be more into it than llamas who like has been kinda slumping so while i think theyre both similar in skill its safer to pick tsr
ADV: Plas vs Finding True Love - plas's game last week was probably the most hair ripping adv game ive seen this season but well i trust him more than ftl

SS: Kushalos vs Camarade Papadov - papadov sent bush to the bench last week with sun so theres that. kush is very immune to bullshit and is def strong against these styles though so even though his game last week for ruwc was brain exploding he's prob more consistent
SS: Feliburn vs Twilight - idk this ones kinda w/e for me, felis good and i still dont have a strong idea of how twilight is
SS: LNumbers vs Estarossa - esta has been doing really good but fuck man clark is so fire. love watching this man play, he definitely has the heart we all need in these tours.
SM: PinkDragonTamer vs Adaam - pdts been struggling a bit this tour which sux. if he wasnt playing rob last week id root for him with all my heart with that team mu because pidgeot is so fire. adaams still consistent even though he did lose last week so i think he can handle this
ORAS: Pak vs Wanka - if evi is the luckiest player than holy fuck is pak the unluckiest, he won last week but still if i was in his position after that mien burn i wouldve cried. same thing as kt kreme applies here too so like bleh. id say pak has been bringing cooler teams but wanka brought a venomoth so that objectively cant be true. pak coming back makes me think he'll probably take this but well i cant count out wanka either
BW: Chill Shadow vs r0ady - both are havin weird seasons, r0adys game last week was something to behold and well cs didn't really fare much better in the luck department. if this was bw ru i totally wouldve expected him to goth in our prep but well its not so i didnt...not that anyone really goes out of their way to prep for goth in this tier though. ive been liking his teams more so picking him
DPP: Thiago Nunes vs esche - noooo leru dont get benched. thiago is p good at dpp and he has a really solid core of support here so while i do think he'll put up a good fight esche showed why hes the father last week. cant really not predict against him rn
ADV: brewfasa vs xJoelituh - i mentioned tht the plas game was not great and....yeah idk if i wasnt watching the game in the car id probably have groaned out loud it made me really sad. fattys been having a really strong season and while i do think joel can take it he needs to map things out a bit better.

glhf tdks, lets fuckin get this bread chuerk. this shit is ours
 
alright so Expulso begged me for this so imma do some unviable I mean unbiased predix fuck Bouff btw


Bebo Brand Barboaches (1) vs (2) Union Cave Dunsparce
SS: Notily vs CBU - cbu seems to have finally found his form again, picking up a clutch win for the dunsparces last week, using a nasty webs team. that being said, I'm still not sold he returned to his uupl shape. I wasn't very impressed by his wins at all, it doesn't take anyone more than 7 brain cells to identify that his game was very one-sided last week, and the game vs z-wrap was weirdly played by both parties, which doesn't make me confident at all in bolding his name, but also I don't have much information about notily, other than the fact he's Canadian and that he makes some really fancy teams (seriously look at his most recent replays wtf they look very danger), so I'm gonna go with cbu this time.
SS: Gondra vs frisoeva - :simp: has gondra ever lost a game btw? I don't think he has. his games have all been won in a very dominant fashion, not even nailbiters or something, and I don't really think he will stop it now.
SS: Alpha Rabbit vs Moutemoute - moute's been doing alright, he hasn't been impressive at all but his games, outside of that disaster that was the game vs Askov, haven't been bad either. however, he seriously needs to improve the team choices. he did get some good mus with some of them, but they looked very fishy and had so many weaknesses that I simply just can't understand how he's won so many games without running any ghost, ice, ground, dark, fighting or fairy resists. but anyway, props to him for not running into any of those and getting good mus I guess? can't say much on rabbit because I haven't watched his games properly, but I wouldn't totally discount him here. just can't go against the numbers.


Dragon's Den Dragonairs (3) vs (0) Brave Mew World
SS: Kushalos vs Camarade Papadov - z wrap more like z-continental fucking crushed Bushtush, jesus. I like the sun call vs bush but cheesing won't always succeed, especially in this week where he's against an even harder opponent. kush is just way more experienced vs these kinda structures and will definitely be more mozzarella-proof than ever.
SS: Feliburn vs Twilight - this one's a bit awkward because I don't know much about twi, but I would have bolded feliman either way. he's very good and I just can't see him losing this one.
SS: LNumbers vs estarossa - esta did fine last week and brought a very epic reuni team and I rate it but clark numbers is too fire, and I love watching his games, although they felt very very unfortunate. it just seems like he keeps outplaying his opponent but somehow the game doesn't really want him to win, it makes me quite unhappy. this changed last week, where due to some lack of attention he got a well-timed freeze and won. aside from that, I feel like esta is more of the type of player to not leave the comfort zone, while clark looks like the type of player to punish these safe plays. I can be wrong though.

Los Cherno Bouffalants (2) vs (1) TDK Today at 22:01 lily my team has decided we will not have a team name
SS: Nat vs umbry - umbry is a very competent player, and she was enjoying off an undefeated record until last week. she's proven to be capable of winning vs anyone, nabbing some wins against very strong players like accel. however, I can't predict against nat. even though umbry's been killing it lately, I think nat has looked a tad better. she had much less outstanding flaws in her games if there were any. her teams were very interesting, and she looked pretty good too, atm amassing a 4-0 record against some way harder competition. this battle looks promising though, so gl to both players!!!!
SS: Ark vs SoulWind - ugh I really want gc to win his game but he's unfortunately paired against one of, if not the most competent player of this site right now, and he's proved it many times in his games, so it'd foul of my part to not bold him in this matchup.
SS: Askov vs suapah - this might sound very biased, but I can't just not bold askov here. he has played the most games out of the two and has picked up the tier with ease in a very short time span. he is a very solid player in general, although not being able to calc his odds at best and sometimes losing to some bullshit that could be avoided, just like vs moute or in clark's battle, so maybe some better time management could help it :eyes:, but the way he approaches the game is fantastic and nearly free from mistakes, whereas suapah's game for week 1 was kinda... suspicious, to say the least. I still believe he's a good player tho and he's def capable of winning games as the competent player he is.

hf marthas accels, hope we can have some great games :blobthumbsup:.
