120 / 200, i completely forgot about the gsc sub but thats probably for the better because i wouldve bolded kaori LMAO whoops! i told killintime i wasnt going to do predictions cause i'm still pretty bummed and bitter about our season ending and how it ended, but it'd probably be shitty to not finish this off.

ORAS UU: Xrn vs
Killintime - this is really, really counterintuitive if i'm following my superstition, coupled with my bet it could fuck me out of some money. hopefully not! that game last week might've been fucked for killintime if pak managed to get rocks up, and i feel like that end game was somehow close to being losable for him but i don't really know how to articulate why nor do i really feel like it. but with that being said it'd be disingenuous to predict against him here - while i do think xrns a really good player and his building is p neat, missavs aside (i think absol was an insane progress maker even with that infernape in the fray), kt is better at applying the hurt if he positions himself well, and i'm not sure how xrn will be able to react to any incoming headassery.
BW UU:
Finchinator vs Shiba - im not gonna lie, i am really close to bolding shiba here. did not like finchs team last week, at all. feel like your progress maker is getting up hazards and then getting good future sight rolls with slowking, but that doesnt even work that well because stoise spins on half of that team and future sight barely does any damage this gen in the first place....like i mean i get it kind of but really i don't. i was going to bold shiba, but honestly i am hoping me mentioning this will kind of give some sort of initiative to finch to not bring a team like that again. there are like 5 s ranks in the tier (there's also a s+ (hint: its togekiss)) so i'm hoping he makes something work. shiba also brought a team that is kind of do nothing because bu scrafty requires a lot of support and honestly he probably did the whole slowking build worse than finch, but not by a whole lot. very generic to say that finchs experience will give him the favorability but whatever idc.
DPP UU: mael vs
Micciu - i had to leave like a quarter way through miccius game but my understanding is that it was kind of a wash. what i do know is that, like seldanna, he brought the stupidest clefable set vs a less stupid but still stupid clef set and ended up winning through it. similarly, mael also brought the less stupid clef set, and ended up losing to the stupid clef set. or well, he shouldve, but then uhhh things happened....but like, it shouldve won LOL basically, knock encore is basically a fat killer to end all fat killers imo. that's pretty much the main reason i'm picking micciu here, but he knows what he's doing and 6-2 is hard as hell to pull off for your first season.
ADV UU:
shiloh vs eden - shiloh has the best record in the tour, really making me eat shit in the power rankings. team choices have been on point despite the source...a real pop of the crayon if you will. i don't really have much else to say here about him. sunny should not have lost that game last week and if i was noah i wouldve punched a hole the size of a coconut through my wall. i think theres a good shot he ends up with a favorable mu but that game last week is enough to make me bold rozes, even if he also has the skill overall that could match with his opponent.
GSC UU: Estarossa vs
kaori - i was not watching shit about kaoris game last week because i was focusing on our own which was happening at the same time, but noah was gassing up the team in call and i know a pilo moment occured. that's enough knowledge for me, but even if i wanted to dig deep enough to learn more, which i don't really feel like at all, the show seems to have been down bad this season. real fv13's a genius tho so i won't hold semis against him.
don't have a big preference for who wins - i should be bitter enough to root against the idols and that feeling is there kind of but it might be a little bad faith to root against my former manager,
Lily i can tell you've probably worked really hard this season and after teaming with you in both tours last year i can confidently say you deserve it more than most despite not being around as much as a good chunk of us. please don't call yourself a boomer though, you are like three years away from that and that's being generous. on the other hand
Thisbemyalt the way you talk about your team from calling with you i can a) relate to you in your anxiety and b) tell that you give way too much of a fuck about this tour for someone who has kind of sat on the sidelines for a long time. hoping for a good series here, glhf all.

just want to say a few words, again, to my team...my beloved vtubers.....i really did feel like this year was the year. we had a really high raw skill level, our draft was really really fucking good, and we worked really really really fucking hard. like dude we had more activity than pretty much any team here, and more than pretty much 99% of teams in subforum tours. i feel really hoed and i feel really bummed, because it's been literally 9 years since my first uupl (i'm sure if you've heard me bitch this past week you know that by now though) and it's depressing that i haven't been able to make finals, let alone win, since after that first one. despite our loss i know for a fact we deserved this tour. we were better than everyone else, but "things just didnt shake out" as i always say when i don't know what else to say. not going to do individual shoutouts for everyone but this season meant a lot to me so i'm glad and honored to team with yall.
umbry Lyssa you know this already from my constant moaning mixed with copium over the past 48 hours, but i'm grateful you let me take this on with you two. i think we did everything right and did everything as good as we could possibly have done, and if i do this again i hope you'll be willing to team with me again.
sorry if this is too annoying or corny or self serving, just wanted to get it out. i'll cyall in the next uu team tour probably whenever that is because i'm too brain wormed to quit here evidently
