SS: Accelgor vs umbry - really hate predicting against accel but he doesnt seem as strong as he's been before. i'll attribute that to the poggaroo shit which is undoubtedly what makes my boomer rage flare up, i can tell that such things have bad juju for him. umbrys been p solid on the other hand and ill expect her to stand a chance against anyone in this pool. record makes this one but well accel could obv take it
SS: Cynde vs Ajna - not sure how into it ajna is rn, and if hes unmotivated then it might be hard to cop a win here. honestly i don't really remember much of cynde's game other than that it was closer than it needed to be or something idk. while cyndes got more drive ajnas playing is still really good
SS: Juno vs SoulWind - juno played what was by far the most boring game of the tour and probably the most boring game i've seen in months. sw won in a close one against god clark, figure hes gonna put up a similar performance here since reading him is hard especially for someone fresh like juno
SM: Xiri vs suapah - both suffered from some p tough losses last week. view both players a bit equally here after that bit but suapah is more likely to bring a solid team
ORAS: Killintime vs obii - obii got subbed out last week so i dont really have a good frame of reference aside from week 1. kt's gonna bring some nonsense despite his loss last week that'll give him an edge probably
BW: Finchinator vs choolio - ngl i didn't really pay that much attention to finch's game cause some other game was going on at that time but looking back at it he brought some no nonsense stuff that you'd expect. my gut is telling me choolio brought a team from bw ladder days just because it had a darmanitan. i do think this game will be fun to watch tho
DPP: Heysup vs Eternal Spirit - heysup brought a fun team with sub endeavor sceptile which is a neat choice. triple starter too so points for aesthetics. gama fought valiantly against leru's monstrosity of a team so not gonna count him out entirely here but heysup probably takes it off of experience. however his goat comment in last weeks adv game is bad karma
ADV: Expulso vs Star - expulso has had the luck of the gods and might be the dingbat of the tour. like its actually fucking ridiculous. his teams are p alright so ill give him an advantage here but jesus dude. stars team gave me the impression that it was hella old, you dont rly see sharpedo / cb kanga a lot these days, let alone together. he'll be better at getting himself out of a bad spot than expulso probably

SS: CBU vs Camarade Papadov - he has 20 posts but their name gives me an incredibly ominous feeling. whoever this is they are probably gonna bring out the powerhouses. just a gut feeling so despite cbu's vastly higher experience i gotta pick papadov whoever they are
SS: basaninho vs Chuerk - the namesake has a worse record but i really like the mew set he brought last week, wanted to build a thing with that set as well. basa didnt have to exert a whole lot especially after the freeze in a game already in his favor which isnt a bad thing but i think chuerk still has potential to turn it around
SS: Moutemoute vs Estarossa - two weeks ago i def wuda hled moute here but idk i think esta has been playing marginally better. moutes game last week was....something. esta will probably bring a better team so even tho historically moute has been better gonna go with an upset here ig
SM: Santu vs Adaam - santu is always solid but adaam is one of the best sm uuers of all time so its kinda hard to not pick him here
ORAS: Kink vs Wanka - kink brought his classic snore sylveon against the god fighting spam. thats not very fair :( wanka is better in preparation tho and i do like that he bounced back last week
BW: watashi vs r0ady - idk both are 0-2 but r0ady definitely cares more rn and he has a good mind for preparation so
DPP: atomicllamas vs esche - looking forward to the teams both bring this week but esche's style probably matches up better here than vice versa, though llamas is more tenured in this pool than almost anyone here soo yeah it'll be pretty close.
ADV: Finding True Love vs xJoelituh - joel got dicked by some bad rng last week unfortunately but i have way more faith in him than ftl. dunno why he thought he got unlucky that game cus he didnt have a flying resist in the first place against cb scyther @_@ jesus i really predicted an 8-0

SS: Sabella vs LNumbers - i was honestly pretty impressed with lnumbers's game last week, despite the roost at the end that like 95% didnt matter i liked what i saw for sure. sab is a powerhouse though and is good at pouncing on newer players usually. bolded vs here at first but itd probably be a bit eh to not go with sab
SS: Highways vs Kushalos - kush has been goin nuts this tour and i dont really think he'll stop here, even though highways is good competition he just has the mind for the game rn
SS: odr vs Feliburn - not bolding either because i refuse to take sides in this rurk matchup. odr brought a zydog which i can respect tho it didnt work out last week but yea not doing it.
SM: avarice vs PinkDragonTamer - pdt brought the smackdown last week like damn dude. pretty eye opening performance there, he didn't really miss a beat. probably expecting avarice to bring ho this week because he brought stall last time so it's time for the classic flip but i trust pdt way more
ORAS: Bobby Dagen vs Pak - i mentioned expulso as a lucky motherfucker above but pak's luck was really, really, really, really bad last week to the point where it makes expulsos games look clean. he got absolutely nothing which is depressing cause he had a really solid chance of winning right from the get go. i remember when i predicted this game in 2018 i got it wrong but im going to predict wrong presumably again because i have a lot more faith in pak and he's more in touch
BW: Amukamara vs Chill Shadow - not much to say here cause i still think this is chill shadow's tier. i also like it when i talk to him about old gen games in this tour cause the knowledge he has on these tiers is pretty sizable compared to most others
DPP: MrAldo vs Leru - leru brought an absolutely disgusting team last week which kind of fits his style. looking to see what is cooked up here, dont rly have a reason to bold also cus idt ive ever seen him play a dpp tier ever
ADV: Gilbert arenas vs brewfasa - marcop brought a team last week that was like literally an elec spam from 2016. i truly dont know whether he happened to remember that team or if it was just some coincidence but that team is a blast to the past for sure. fatty showed up last week tho and i still hold him in high regard

i really dont know why these are so lopsided, my prediction rate these past two weeks has been like not great so itll probably maintain here. go chuerk as always

The greatest story of them all.
is a Community Contributoris a Top Tiering Contributor
SS: Accelgor vs umbry - Very much going against the form book here, with Accel 0-2 and umbry the reverse. However when you look at Accel's 0-2, I don't really think there's a huge amount to worry about. He got a pretty unworkable matchup against Kushalos which he did well to stretch out and even make a contest, and he lost a tight game against arguably the strongest player in the whole tour. I think he will be fine and get back to winning ways here, but it won't come easy because umbry has been great so far, bringing some cool teams and playing them well so should be a highlight game.
SS: Cynde vs Ajna - Cynde's game was quite a ride last week, I thought he looked disadvantaged at one point, then a series of aggro plays brought him back in front and then in the endgame he switched Victini out of a Hippo when V-Create seemed like an easy win. It was entertaining viewing for sure!! I think he probably cares more than Ajna does tho, who's had a weird start with that game against bush then losing last week so I'll back Cynde here.
SS: Juno vs SoulWind - SW took home a tight one last week where he showed the clinical touch you'd expect from one of the best to play the game, he seems in really strong form right now even by his standards while Juno's game last week was pretty weird, her snake games so far have been a little less impressive than some of her majors highlights so maybe there's some extra nerves playing a part here or something? idk, I'm sure if she finds what's been working for her in majors she can have a really strong uusd but hard not to go for SW here.

SS: CBU vs Camarade Papadov - CBU has been having a tough time of it lately, stating his dissatisfaction for how his snake went into starting out winless here. I'm still a huge fan though, and as epic as Camarade Papadov's name is, I have absolutely 0 to work off here from him so I'm gonna go for CBU to start rolling in the wins again.
SS: basaninho vs Chuerk - It's been really hard to make a judgment on where basa is atm, he somehow managed to get the absolute worst matchup in the tour week 1 then get one of the best in week 2, and both games went exactly the way the matchup would dictate so yeah, not easy to evaluate. I thought Chuerk looked really strong for the first half of his game vs Askov, but then some mismanagement let his opp back into the game and it kinda felt like last week's game was mismanaged too. Gonna go for basa just cos he's a bit more proven.
SS: Moutemoute vs Estarossa - Esta has come in as a sub the last two weeks and played pretty assured games both times, so it's nice to see him get a well earned chance to start here. Moute's games have somewhat been less assured with a fair amount of hax, which I know is frustrating for him because he wants to prove that he's a strong player, and those games don't really help with that. That said, I just don't really buy into the teams he uses as they always seem so all in on one idea and kinda ignore any flaws, which seems an inconsistent way to go in the long run so I'll back esta to take this one.

SS: Bushtush vs Nat - Very strong looking game actually, bush has looked pretty good while Nat is obviously a great player when she keeps her cool as she showed last week. I couldn't really call this one so I'll give the edge to Nat based on the chance of bush playing among us during the game, plus he told me that he was going to try and win my tour solely through coinflips after getting them r1 and r2 :psyangry:
SS: Gondra vs Lyss - Gondra has looked pretty good so far, I'm not sure if he's building his own teams or being passed them but as you'd expect, if he uses solid enough teams he'll bring the wins in. Lyss has had a tough start to the tour so far, Adaam week 1 then an impossible mu week 2. Unfortunately this is a really tough spot to bounce back in, hoping she does it and has a good tour but I have to favour Gondra here.
SS: col49 vs Askov - I was pretty impressed by col last week, I would have tilted off the face off the earth with how much shit went against him but he kept in the game and ultimately made it quite close so yeah, big fan of that. Askov was also unlucky as shit last week, but I thought there were some things he could've done better even before the Draco miss so I'll bold 49 here.

low effort dicts pls like comment subscribe fuck you Expulso

Dreamyard Diancies (5) vs (3) TDK Today at 22:01 lily my team has decided we will not have a team name
SS: Accelgor vs umbry - I've become an umbry stan in a very short amount of time so seeing her win wouldn't displease me but seeing Accel at 0-3 would make me cry myself to sleep and he recently told me I was handsome so i must support him.
SS: Cynde vs Ajna - Ajna will probably win but I am a Cynde believer as I've made clear. I would like to see him win every game except last week but he won last week :///
SS: Juno vs SoulWind - Juno is underrated I think now which is pretty nuts. I'd like to continue seeing her win.
SM: Xiri vs sjneider - neider is p dece at sm iirc, xiri has the ribbon but I like neider and would like to bold him so I will bold him.
ORAS: Killintime vs obii - I really like obii however kt is my good friend and will probably out maneuver this man in the builder by default.
BW: Finchinator vs choolio - Big finch fan, would prolly bold him every week except vs us bc we have finch slayer.
DPP: Heysup vs Eternal Spirit - Heysup typed "goat" after expulso unleashed dingbat-like hax upon his opponent and seems to be 0-2 so I will bold his opponent here.
ADV: Expulso vs Star - Expulso is the ADV version of dingbat/alkione and will probably continue to luck his way to a positive record however I will still bold Star here bc star is p good and I feel like I've bolded too many pog team guys.

Union Cave Dunsparce (3.5) vs (4.5) Brave Mew World
SS: CBU vs Camarade Papadov - idk who this guy on the right is, I'm gonna assume it's ramo on an alt and ramo is trashcan mcgee at pocket monsters so CBU will surely clean.
SS: basaninho vs Chuerk - I'd like to see basa succeed but I think it's a better storyline if chuerk wins as many games as possible
SS: Moutemoute vs Estarossa - Oh boy
SM: Santu vs Adaam - Only person I'd bold against adam is me assuming he doesn't hax me and I have an iq above 4, basically I'm saying I wouldn't bold anybody against adaam in sun and moon uranus used
ORAS: Kink vs Wanka - christopher fucking wankerson holy fuck man I love him
BW: watashi vs r0ady - I love roady but 0-3 fooly is surely not happening, seeing a dub would make me smile tho from roady
DPP: atomicllamas vs esche - big bad esche aka wang fire aka the yugioh man, nothing else has to be said
ADV: Finding True Love vs xJoelituh - just assuming ftl is better? drk tho

Lake of Outrage Sandacondas (4) vs (4) Dragon's Den Dragonairs
SS: Sabella vs LNumbers - booty fan, dunno who this guy on the right is
SS: Highways vs Kushalos - I'd like to see highways succeed and live up to a r2 buy
SS: odr vs Feliburn - I believe in ODR more than most RU goombas and ODR has the friends plot armor as well, not to mention more UU results in general. I love feli tho.
SM: avarice vs PinkDragonTamer - peterdickboy will prolly pull this one out I have faith in him to not succumb to cheese bc he uses fat prim on every team. He also liked my ig photo so I have bias
ORAS: Bobby Dagen vs Pak - Pak will see a defensive sylveon on his screen and use all his inner rage as motivation to outplay his opponent at every turn.
BW: Amukamara vs Chill Shadow - I believe it's difficult to bold against CS in uu old gens
DPP: MrAldo vs Leru - MrAldo has been unleashed, Leru has looked really good tho so far with the donny penis tier support he has in the back as well as his own prowess in the tier, he's a big fan of dpp uu and will probably continue murdering everybody. However he will probably time out and lose so I'm bolding against him.
ADV: Gilbert arenas vs brewfasa - fatman

Bebo Brand Barboaches (0) vs (1) Los Cherno Bouffalants
ORAS: Pearl vs Garay oak - Let's be honest this pearl guy is a complete dickhead, he also has to lose to make the rest of his team feel better about themselves bc he'd be carrying too much weight. Who'da thunk this guy was such an asshole!!!!
