[Rabia]

New Moon Absols (5) vs (5) Diancies are Forever
SV: Drud vs robjr drud teams have given me emotional damage
SV: Thiago Nunes vs fish anemometer have to bold against the bad survey answers, sorry fish thermometer
SV: Mada vs Diamonds_realm
SV: mj vs Kiyo kiyo is 1-0 in games he doesnt lose to timer
SS: FadedCharm vs Master Chief coinflip :]
SM: Xiri vs ishtar xiri's got great history in sm so this is kinda just me going w/ the natural favor. ishtar's been great so far this tour tho so my predict isnt as clear as it wouldve been if you asked me three weeks ago
ORAS: Gondra vs innovamania
BW: Finchinator vs Bughouse knicks just lost so finch will channel all of his frustration into beating bughouse
DPP: avarice vs HSOWA
ADV: Medeia vs heysup heysup usually puts in a lot of work in adv and this seemed like one of medeia's weaker tiers, might be speaking out of my ass tho

Fabled Nine-Tailed Foxes (3) vs (7) Taunting Talonflames
SV: Kushalos vs Axrtix
SV: asa vs tier
SV: Floss vs xavgb stresh is ALSO 1-0 when he doesnt lose to timer
SV: GXE vs Elias PSY
SS: damien the genius vs OranBerryBlissey10 literally cannot bold against obb
SM: lax vs LpZ
ORAS: Xrn vs quziel
BW: Tack vs Fogbound Lake
DPP: hariyana grande vs Monai
ADV: Real FV13 vs goldmason fv is one of the best current adv nuers and sorry goldmason but this is the first tour ive seen you in :[

The Rare Bone Cubones (3) vs (7) Big Back Snorlaxes
SV: mncmt vs TheFranklin
SV: Ninja vs freezai
SV: Be13costa vs Stories
SV: Lilo vs twinkay
SS: TDNT vs roxie
SM: HANTSUKI vs watashi
ORAS: havocknight vs poh
BW: Rewer vs SBPC
DPP: A plague doc vs JabbaTheGriffin
ADV: Shitrock enjoyer vs ima same reasoning re: fv game

 

[etern]

New Moon Absols vs Diancies are Forever
SV: Drud vs robjr - drud teams gave rabia emotional damage
SV: Thiago Nunes vs fish anemometer - fish actually played a nice game vs bj last week, but tnunes is the cream of the crop
SV: Mada vs Diamonds_realm - have to show my support to diamonds here who will def be hungry to get a win and build his rep
SV: mj vs Kiyo - kid kiyo
SM: Xiri vs ishtar - xiri's w2 team got 6-0d by pretty much every meta defining mon in the tier, ishtar chan has a better grasp of the tier in 2024 and should get the better matchup, personally id recommend she bring some battle armor mons for good measure.
ORAS: Gondra vs innovamania - i liked gondras w2 team and think they'll finish w a strong record this season.
BW: Finchinator vs Bughouse - highlight match, could go either way but ill give the edge to finch because he's the goat of consistency.


Fabled Nine-Tailed Foxes vs Taunting Talonflames
SV: Kushalos vs Axrtix - the chef is about to cook ax with sun for the 20th time this week, and ax is gonna go undefeated from next week onwards with av goodra balances.
SV: asa vs tier - tier yaps a lot but they're also winning a lot so imma go with them, asa is no slouch though.
SV: Floss vs xavgb - 50/50, bolding floss bc i think he's a bit more in tune with sv nu.
SV: GXE vs Elias PSY - another hl, should be a great match, but i think gxe has a slight edge unless elias catches him off guard.
SM: lax vs LpZ - LpZ is going insane right now and winning every match I see him play, I think he's on a hot streak and a massive threat.
ORAS: Xrn vs quziel - bring kecleon already quz, i know you want to.
BW: Tack vs Fogbound Lake - just a hunch


The Rare Bone Cubones vs Big Back Snorlaxes
SV: mncmt vs TheFranklin - not sure how invested mncmt is right now but i trust the snorlaxes building support a bit more than the cubones for the time being.
SV: Ninja vs freezai - ninja is good and will win the slowbro creep war in the builder.
SV: Be13costa vs Stories - the cubones shouldn't bother mentioning sun as an option here because stories wants nothing to do with being cheesed, she'll be more than prepared for it.
SV: Lilo vs twinkay - young lilo!
SM: HANTSUKI vs watashi - fooly won w klinklang so it might be over for everyone if he brings viable mons from here on out.
ORAS: havocknight vs poh - poh is underrated and has been quietly picking up wins the past few teamtours, i expect him to take this
