Making my predictions for the least predictable group in the WCOP.
I can easialy seen anyone go 0-3 in this group (not empo tho) hoping for great matchups!
GL TO ALL.
 
I will revive this by posting my teams if anyone care.

Vs Skypenguin
:tapu-koko: :serperior: :gyarados: :landorus-therian: :magearna: :tyranitar-mega:

I don't really remember ever using screens in SM, and with my comeback after two years, I wanted to open myself up to new things. Skypenguin was someone I felt I could see coming anything, so I didn't really want to care too much about the scout.

This ended up being very funny, as we built and optimized it pretty quickly in just one day alongside Samuel Norton. I really wanted to use Ninetales-Alola at first, but I wasn't satisfied with what i ended up it in the end. I'm not even sure Ninetales is really viable, to be honest - so I just went with Koko instead.

The team was heavily inspired by the craing ;_; dump screens teams. Also, I think this six was actually an old Skype team that I didn't know about lol, except it had no screens.

Proud to have won my return game, especially against Skype that is a big rival and someone that I value as the best SM player.

Vs Aso
:hippowdon: :latias-mega: :magearna: :reuniclus: :tornadus-therian: :toxapex:

Aso isn't an SM main, so I just wanted to load some comfy teams. I picked this team way too early before the game, around mid Week 1, and I didn't get enough practice with it, which ended up showing during the game.

I played really badly around Victini and couldn't recover from it. It's okay though, lesson learned.

I'm not dropping the paste since it's not my team and I didn't change anything. I did heavily consider RH Reuniclus, though, and I regret not bringing it.

Vs Zaza
:dragonite: :serperior: :landorus-therian: :victini: :diancie-mega: :magnezone:
I just threw those six together knowing it probably wouldn't be that solid, but somehow it ended up smashing everyone on ladder and in tests, so I decided to go with it.

Thunder Punch Dnite was the idea, since Zaza is a big Tapu Fini enjoyer.

Zaza is one of the geniuses of this game, and I'm always impressed whenever I see him talk about mons, so I was really pissed about how the game went. I felt like I didn't give him a good fight, especially with my team being really weak to rain.

I had this other option featuring the goat Bisharp, made with Diyusi, but it wasn't any better into rain, so no regrets. I did use it successfully in SMPL, though.

Rough tournament for both me and Team France, but we’ll bounce back. I’m still happy I got to play again after two years away, and it reminded me how much I still enjoy this game and this tier.
