[armaldlothearmaldo]

Sure.

Stolen Spectres (3.5) vs (4.5) Sour Soul Sceptiles
SS 1v1 Bo7: bored_glitch vs crow crumbs I haven't seen bored_glitch play, but he went 6-1 in PLVII, so I'd favor him a bit.
SS 1v1: luser vs deddd
SM 1v1 Bo7: Elo Bandit vs lancert
SM 1v1: bea vs torterraxx Torterraxx lost last week and has a somewhat questionable record in past PLs.
ORAS 1v1: RTM vs zioziotrip He's still zio.
BW 1v1: autumn vs AlyssaVGC Autumn beat Taka, might as well beat Alyssa too.
DPP 1v1: Lumii vs Slip Top 6 team tournament player. This could go either way, but I like Lumii to win.
ADV 1v1: Sanshokuinsumireko vs Career Ended

NaganaDel Reys (2) vs (6) Go-Go Gogoats
SS 1v1 Bo7: bo_bobson27 vs zo I'm not super familiar with zo, but bo_bobson just beat Potatochan so I'm picking him.
SS 1v1: Nick vs bern I believe in bern.
SM 1v1 Bo7: Bopher vs Squirtell 1v1 It's Squirtell. His win last week wasn't too convincing, but Squirtell is still Squirtell.
SM 1v1: Waylaid vs Felucia Felu's good. I thought rust was going to show last week; I was wrong.
ORAS 1v1: DripLegend vs SwordIsBored Edge to Sword, but I'm not confident enough to say.
BW 1v1: SuperMemeBroz vs neomon Calling the person I recognize.
DPP 1v1: Scholar vs Euphonos Not sure. From what I've gathered, Euphonos is the king of DPP, and he's got plus scores in both his past PLs, but Scholar is pretty good too. Plus, Euphonos lost last week.
ADV 1v1: Hugo vs Robyn If Robyn goes 0-2 after all the smack talk...

Full Moon Frosmoths (7) vs (1) Seychelles Snorlaxes
SS 1v1 Bo7: Close vs Potatochan Potatochan is potatochan, but close is close. Also Potatochan lost last week.
SS 1v1: Liimpy vs Fragments Won last week.
SM 1v1 Bo7: crucify vs gorilaa It's crucify.
SM 1v1: frostyicelad vs STABLE I think FIL is going to be pretty motivated to get a win after last week, and I'm also picking the name I recognize.
ORAS 1v1: Palestine vs LittEleven
BW 1v1: Taka vs Kaif Taka's really good at the game, last week notwithstanding.
DPP 1v1: stravench vs Nuxl Experience.
ADV 1v1: Lialiabeast vs goldmason Lia's record in team tournaments isn't the greatest, but he's a solid battler from everything I've seen. goldmason might do it though. 70-30.

My opponent asked to play in SV instead of SS im not to blame for that. The only illegal move used in the set was Alluring Voice that too from my opponent

 

[DripLegend]

Stolen Spectres (0) vs (0) Sour Soul Sceptiles
SS 1v1 Bo7: bored_glitch vs crow crumbs bird lost to luck in pl D: (shoutout Armchairvgc) I believe in him to get the run back

SS 1v1: Liimpy vs Fragments fragments got dis
SM 1v1 Bo7: crucify vs gorilaa it’ll be a good series, give crucify slight edge tho
SM 1v1: frostyicelad vs STABLE radu legacy watch, I trust he succeeds
ORAS 1v1: Palestine vs LittEleven pale gets passed some good teams but litt has more overall Oras experience and brings weird Mainer techs
BW 1v1: Taka vs Kaif I am a Hubert fan
DPP 1v1: stravench vs Nuxl nuxl is solid but strav is like baby Euphonos so feels illegal to not bold. Wouldn’t be surprised to see 3 clef w’s again tho
ADV 1v1: Lialiabeast vs goldmason goldmason has like 50 adv minds in the cord he got this
