Week 5 is here!

Week 4: 58.33% (14/24) Better than last week.
In total average = 54.16%


Inebriated Incineroars (3) vs. Circhester Centiskorchers (5)

SS: MetaRiolu7 vs King Choco = The King had a tough matchup last week, but I think he might take it this week.
SS: Conflux vs Shiba = Flux should take this. Shiba won't be a pushover though.
Bo3: zugubu royale vs Trichotomy = Good match this week, but Trich should win if he doesn't get surprised by Zugu's sets.
Threat: Bouff vs Nailec = Unsure if Nailec has played threat in past MWPs. Bouff has shown some experience in this tier.
AAA: aesf vs Fissure = Probably the strongest AAA player this tour outside of Lycan.
STAB: Plas vs Quantum Tesseract = QT is on a roll. I'd expect QT to win this week and then lose next week.
LC: Confide vs Eternal Spirit = Both good players, but I think Confide is the better player.
NatDex: Feliburn vs Skysolo = Very well played from Skysolo. I don't think Feliburn has any experience, but he can win if he uses a team from Zugu.


Po Town Pandas (6) vs. Milk Bagged Miltanks (2)

SS: Splash vs TJ = Ah... Splash wants to show who's the better black. Splash will win.
SS: Sensei Axew vs col49 = Fall Monotype SSNL winner! I think Sensei Axew will beat col49 from his experience.
Bo3: Floss vs dahli = Very impressive performance by peachy this tour. I think peachy should win this, but Floss can surprise and win.
Threat: Kev vs Chaitanya = Kev is going to smash Chaitanya, but I think Chait wins cuz I bolded against him this week.
AAA: Catalystic vs Zap = Both have lost and won. Close match, but I think Catalystic will win with the better team that week.
STAB: Sae vs Hys = Sae will win. Sae is the better player.
LC: Riku Sakuraba vs Izaya = Izaya will win now! He's just going to keep winning until the end of Week 7.
NatDex: Attribute vs Harpp = Attribute should win. Harpp's been struggling, but I think Harpp can make this close.


Weaboo Wartortles (4) vs. Mossdeep Murkrows (4)

SS: Kaguya Lys vs Sabella = I think Sabella should win. Sabella is the better player.
SS: Dieu Amphibien vs Maki = Sorry Frog God, the furry is going to win.
Bo3: yedla vs Star = Star is a cheatcode. He's going to win another Bo3.
Threat: taide vs TonyFlygon = Undefeated Taide will not lose with the prep he has.
AAA: Feitan the steam vs Yami = Feitan is a heat player, so he will make a heat team and win.
STAB: vivalospride vs Betathunder = Vivalos is going to win this week. I think Vivalos is the better player.
LC: Crashy vs Leru = Leru is probably going to win this. For some reason, I think Crashy is going to get haxed.
NatDex: adjustments vs Gondra = I think Gondra is the better player.

Week 1: 37,5 (12/32*) I realised I put 36 games on Week II post, see I hate maths... And yeah for all the haters, I predicted a lot of 50/50s this week so if I didn't take that in count for the % it would be actually higher :))))))
Week 2: 40,62% (13/32) Tough. I suck
Week 3: 43,75% (14/32) Blame the guys who subbed out, Leru was a win win...
Week 4: 43,75% (14/32) At least we didn't decay
In total average = 41,40%
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

First of all I'd like to give a big s/o to Fissure, trash, taide and Shiba. All four were cheap (14K total) and accumulate an astonishing 15-0 record atm.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Inebriated Incineroars (3) vs. Circhester Centiskorchers (5)

The Incines seem to have recovered from their bad start with two overwhelming victories: 6-2 and 6-1. However, the Centiskorchers are still above them on the table by 3 points. Which team will take the win this week?

SS: MetaRiolu7 vs King Choco - Both players are 2-2 atm. I don't see a clear winner, however I know Choco can perform better than before so I'm giving him the W here.
SS: Conflux vs Shiba - It hasn't been the best tour for Flux so far. He's 2-2 and probably more worried about his borderline ilegal businesses in Vice City while Shiba has been pretty solid with an undefeated 3-0 record.
Bo3: zugubu royale vs Trichotomy - Despite being 2-2, I think Trich is a more consistent Monotype player in general compared to Zugu. However, the german has been performing well lately with a solid 3-1. His unorthodox sets might take down Trich's confidence in the game,
don't understimate ლ(~•̀︿•́~)つ Berrytime (◠ω◠✿)
Threat: Bouff vs Nailec - Both hold a 1-2 record atm. I know Bouff can play, but I'm more familiar with Nailec in general and I know he's better than what the records tell.
AAA: aesf vs Fissure - Fissure has prooved so far he's the best AAA player in the tournament, no discussion here.
STAB: Plas vs Quantum Tesseract - I barely know either so I'm betting for the better record.
LC: Confide vs Eternal Spirit - Confide also has a solid 3-1 compared to ES's 1-2. I can see him ending the tour at the top
NatDex: Feliburn vs Skysolo - Despite Solo beating RAP Yogurt last week, he had an insane matchup and still was close to throwing against one of the weaker guys in the tour. I gotta give it to Feli.

Po Town Pandas (5) vs. Milk Bagged Miltanks (3)

The Pandas are fighting for Playoffs while the Miltanks are drowning into oblivion. They still have a very good squad and the surprise could happen anytime.

SS: Splash vs TJ - Splash Splash, you are trash. You lost to the furry and you're gonna lose the next one in a hurry.
SS: Sensei Axew vs col49 - First game for col49 in the tour. I haven't seen anything from him still, so I'll give it to SA this time.
Bo3: Floss vs dahli - The mexican is one of the few undefeated players so far, while Floss is carrying a mediocre but still decent 2-2 record.
Threat: Kev vs Chaitanya - Oh man Chait... I know Seo and Zap might have been annoying asf to you and this is why u can't perform at your real level, amirite? I gotta go with Kev since hes been more solid so far, but you can never leave Chait for dead...
AAA: Catalystic vs Zap - Zap stop being annoying to Chait and work on your shit man. 2-2 for both players, going with Cata because at least his team is still alive.
STAB: Sae vs Hys - Hys is not on his best moment: He's 0-3 while Sae holds that juicy 3-1 atm.
LC: Riku Sakuraba vs Izaya - Izaya is far better than Riku as a player, still both have a negative record.
NatDex: Attribute vs Harpp - 3-1 vs 1-3. Not sure why most of the good players on the Miltanks are having a bad tour so far, I still think they are positive guys tbh... they like to just chill and vibe and do whatever, especially on mons... Giving it to Attribute because he has prooved to know what he's doing.

Weaboo Wartortles (3) vs. Mossdeep Murkrows (5)

Just right above the Miltanks we got the Wartortles. They ain't drowning into oblivion (yet), but their ship is facing an iceberg this week: the Murkrows. Murkrows are tied for 1st right now and prooving everyone they are a threat to take into count. Still I gotta give some respect to Piper and Perish this week, because benching himself and RAP Yogurt might be the best decision they've done so far (apart from getting Taide).

SS: Kaguya Lys vs Sabella - KL beat Choco last week which is surprising, but Sabella is the better player and I still can't bet against him.
SS: Dieu Amphibien vs Maki - Memer vs Furry. Maki got an insane matchup last week and it seems even RNG was on his side. Can't beat hax... neither does Dieu.
Bo3: yedla vs Star - Star is prooving why he's worth at least 20.5K (if not more). Can't say the same about Yedla, tho he's only played one game so let's see if he can recover from that L.
Threat: taide vs TonyFlygon - Sorry to bet against you again Tony, but Taide is on fire right now and nobody should sleep on him.
AAA: Feitan the steam vs Yami - Free Points.
STAB: vivalospride vs Betathunder - Both are negative, but vivalos has played one less game than Beta and comparing 1-2 to 1-3 his confidence might be bigger and therefore more helpful to win.
LC: Crashy vs Leru - Closing the 3-1 records we got Crashy. Pretty surprising considering how tough is for this team to farm wins. Leru however is a better player in my opinion, hence why I'm betting for him. Stil I think this will be a close and interesting game.
NatDex: adjustments vs Gondra - adjustments debut wasn't great, while Gondra is 3-1 atm and being useful for the Murkrows.

Tsundere Tsareenas (4) vs. Viridian Vivillons (4)

Arite. I know I'm a Tsareena hoe, but I wanna see this week if I can get this team's preditions right.

SS: North vs gorex - North is making his debut for the double T's. Gorex has a good 3-1 record, so Imma bet for him. However, North is not someone to sleep on and this game could go either way. LET'S GO NORTH!
SS: Bushtush vs kythr - Bush is stuck with the 0-4 guys down there so I can't really bet for him winning this one. Hope I'm wrong. LET'S GO BUSH!
Bo3: Isza vs Decem - Both hold a 3-1 record, so I can finally bet for a Tsareena winning WOOO!! Still this game will be close and the better prep will win. LET'S GO ISZA!
Threat: K3ppr vs ToxaNex - Not the best tour for K3ppr while Nex has a solid 3-1 so far. I hope you don't KEEP losing. HAHAHA SEE WHAT I DID THERE?? Tho... LET'S GO K3PPR!
AAA: 1 True Lycan vs The Number Man - Not sure how good Lycan is in AAA but he's easily the better player here. LET'S GO LYCAN!
STAB: power vs trash - trash has been completely the opposite to his name so far. With an undefeated 4-0 record and being only 3K hes prooving that money can't buy W's. LET'S GO POWER!
LC: tko vs dcae - dcae about to play their second game for the tour, while tko has a decent 2-2 record right now and he's had a better taste of what Monotype is about. LET'S GO TKO!
NatDex: Maskun vs maroon - Both are 3-1, but Maskun comes from two wins in a row while Maroon only won one of his last two games. LET'S GO MOOSKOON!!

GL to everyone and I hope you provide us some quality games to watch!

Week 5 Predicts:

Inebriated Incineroars (4) vs. Circhester Centiskorchers (4)

SS: MetaRiolu7 vs King Choco - close game, but gonna just bold meta based on how he's been on a streak
SS: Conflux vs Shiba - Though Shiba has a better record, Conflux seems to have wins over a slighty more convincing pool but this could go either way
Bo3: zugubu royale vs Trichotomy - not that sure about this one.
Threat: Bouff vs Nailec - Bouff has being doing decent in the threat pool, while Nailec is going fresh into it
AAA: aesf vs Fissure - Fissure still stands undefeated and has been using some cool builds, could definitely see aesf find his way out though
STAB: Plas vs Quantum Tesseract - QT just has been having a much better time
LC: Confide vs Eternal Spirit - Confide has been doing great in the LC pool but not going to count ES out since it seems he might have found his touch here?
NatDex: Feliburn vs Skysolo - just have a feeling with this one


Po Town Pandas (6) vs. Milk Bagged Miltanks (2)

SS: Splash vs TJ - Splash deserves some sort of salvation after my game with him
SS: Sensei Axew vs col49 - seasonal winner vs someone i don't think has touched dlc 2 mono?
Bo3: Floss vs dahli - peachy has just been on fire though floss might pull through with insane builds
Threat: Kev vs Chaitanya - kev just seems more experienced here
AAA: Catalystic vs Zap - no idea about this one, but I think Cata is feel better over this game with miltanks being winless still
STAB: Sae vs Hys - Sae is off with a great start in the STAB pool while hys has been struggling
LC: Riku Sakuraba vs Izaya - izzy seems to be fresh off her win while Riku just got dropped into the LC pool
NatDex: Attribute vs Harpp - unfortunately Attribute just seems like a better pick here based on the games I've seen so far


Tsundere Tsareenas (1) vs. Viridian Vivillons (7)

SS: North vs gorex - never seen north play and gorex seems to be doing good after escaping slot two
SS: Bushtush vs kythr - bush has been having a rough season whether it be from matchup, rolls, or something else while kythr seems to be doing decent; think player moral is going to be the factor?
Bo3: Isza vs Decem - a playing skills vs building prowess game; a highlight imo that could go either way, going with Decem though cause he'll bring some headassery that gets the one matchup it works in
Threat: K3ppr vs ToxaNex - K3ppr seems to be struggling in the threat pool, while ToxaNex has scored quite a few wins with some unique builds
AAA: 1 True Lycan vs The Number Man - I have no clue about this meta, but TNM just seems to have a better record with a win against a stronger player?
STAB: power vs trash - not much to comment on could go either way, both seem to be doing well
LC: tko vs dcae - tko seems to have found his place in mono LC while dcae is fresh off the bench; this could definitely end up coming close just due to dcae's LC prowess
NatDex: Maskun vs maroon - Though both are 3-1, I am convinced Maskun has to be trolling in every game he plays; only your mans finds a way to turn a 100-0 matchup into a fucking 50/50?!?

I feel some people have felt offended by my predictions/memes. This wasn't by any means my intention, I saw some people enjoyed them so I just continued doing them. At the end of the day when you ain't playing a tour the funniest thing to do is just laugh and joke about missplays, bad records but out of making things personal. I don't know if I crossed the line at some point, you know it's a tough time for all of us and our IRL problems can result in hate or just bad behaviour. So if any of you felt offended by my posts, I sincerely apologize. I won't be doing predicts for the rest of the tour. GL to all teams.

vs.
circhester centiskorchers.png



Inebriated Incineroars (6) vs. Circhester Centiskorchers (2)

SS: MetaRiolu7 vs King Choco - Both players have the same record, but I'm going with Mr7 because I think he is better and is gaining momentum after his rough start. I said this last week as well, but a lot of Choco's wins in tours are often due to to his opponents being bad or things being in his favour. This doesn't mean he's bad of course, he's definitely good and this will be one of the more interesting SS games of the week. Nonetheless, I think Mr7 has showcased more as a player throughout his tour performances. He will also have a lot of motivation I assume, since the Incineroars are having a great comeback after a terrible first 2 weeks.
SS: Conflux vs Shiba - Shiba has a better record, but siding with Conflux because he has had interesting builds and the better quality of games thus far, whereas a lot of Shiba's didn't necessarily come down to him outplaying. Similar to Mr7, Conflux is gonna be very motivated to turn things around, and will probably try hard to keep the momentum going.
Bo3: zugubu royale vs Trichotomy - This might be the most interesting matchup this week. Similar to their matches last week, we have a clash between very confident players. I didn't give zugu enough credit last week by saying that kaiser would be able to easily prep for him. Instead, he managed to get a good edge prep wise and won his series pretty easily. Prep is one of my main reasons to lean towards zugu; he has had more inspiring team choices. Zugu has also had a better performance in the tournament so far. For perspective, zugu beat kaiser last week, who was looking like the best in the bo3 pool while trich's game was against piper and he struggled to take it in 3. Jokes aside, both of them are solid and this will hopefully be an entertaining and close series.
Threat: Bouff vs Nailec - Nailec's actually pretty decent in threat, and I totally forgot about that until I saw him in the slot. I suppose he must be the builder for the team, since I was wondering that in last weeks predicts. He has some good creativity when it comes to sets which could be pretty useful. I mentioned their team having eh builds last week but they had a lot of improvements last week. The Magnet Rise on Excadrill was cool and might've won the game if not for the falling for the counter. Although, some of his sets have a "wow that's cool, but what does it really achieve" vibe at times, like the Role Play Landorus-T (again not even sure those are his ideas, but applies to the team in general). Nonetheless, the Incineroars have a really strong threat builder in torkoal and a great player in Bouff. When it comes to playing ability, he definitely has the edge here overall, but also in terms of feats in this metagame. He was a bit tilted from an unfortunate start to the tour, but seems to be collected again; a motivated Bouff definitely has the edge here. It should be noted however that Steel monothreat is a pretty lame type imo, lots of room for BS occurring and building is annoying so that could cause on issue. Bouff might be put in another frustrating situation that could throw off his game.
AAA: aesf vs Fissure - Here we have a match between the top two records in AAA in the tournament. I've personally enjoyed both of their performances thus far, despite not really knowing much about Monotype AAA or being that big on the tier itself. I'll give this one to Fissure because he's the only undefeated one right now. I think this is gonna be a really interesting game tho as both players really manage to keep the viewers interested during their matches with the surprising things they bring. I'm looking forward to this and hope they keep it up!
STAB: Plas vs Quantum Tesseract - Giving this to QT because he has done better in the tournament so far and has a lot more experience in Monotype STABmons.
LC: Confide vs Eternal Spirit - Confide has been doing well in this slot, and I believe he is more familiar with the metagame than ES. ES is a great player overall, but his debut in this slot consisted of an incredibly lucky victory so its hard to say he's found his footing here.
NatDex: Feliburn vs Skysolo - I think Feliburn is great in both SM and SS Monotype, so he should adapt to NatDex Monotype without much difficulty. Also, he has done better in his monotype tournament performances than solo has, and solo's game last week was pretty weird iirc. Both these teams have struggled in this slot, however the Incineroars might have the disadvantage in terms of team building. A lot of people complained about that weird rain lanturn team they had last week, and I honestly have no idea who is building here. Personally, I'd say just copy a team some other team used in a past week instead of risking giving a good player a bad team and losing. Overall, Feliburn is the better player and with the right team should manage this game comfortably.

Weaboo Wartortles (2) vs. Mossdeep Murkrows (6)

SS: Kaguya Lys vs Sabella - I don't think either had a really remarkable game this tour so far, but Sab is generally the better player and Aya brought infestation Toxapex last week.
SS: Dieu Amphibien vs Maki - Here we have the match between monotype's resident quirky zoomers; the memer vs the furry. Both of them got incorporated into the community around the similar time. Since then, Maki has made a much bigger impact in the scene; he had a more impressive MPL and is doing better in MWP. Maki is also more likely to have a better team, as Dieu Amphibien had bad sets like DD Dragon Claw Dragonite in his past appearances. Maki's also a pretty big try hard so he'll most likely be pretty prepared. It also helps that the dudes lucky af.
Bo3: yedla vs Star - Star is one of the best Pokemon players on the site so he naturally has an edge in most matchups. Moreover, he's put up a great performance so far with a comfortable 4-0 vs some tough opponents. His games were well played with him always being very in control of the situation. On the other hand, yedla has yet to make his presence felt.
Threat: taide vs TonyFlygon - In terms of playing ability, Tony has a strong edge. In the first week, the main concern for the krows in terms of Monothreat was the team building. However, they picked it up after that week either by figuring it out themselves, or by talking to the right people. Steel monothreat is one of the more annoying types, as it is similar to ground in the sense that building is very constrained because of how overwhelming certain Pokemon are. This makes it so you often need to accept the loss vs a certain playstyle, pokemon, set because of the limitations. Therefore, a really big part of Monothreat is determining what your opponent is going to opt for and breaking that down. If taide manages to do that, he might be able to get the win. However, if it comes down to just playing then Tony definitely has the advantage.
AAA: Feitan the steam vs Yami - Both these teams have failed to get a single win in AAA and seem to have taken different approaches on what to do with the slot. The wartortles put in the strongest player on the team to try and salvage it, while the Murkrows put in possibly their weakest player. This isn't really an insult, because the Murkrows have a team full of competent players. I do not know the experience of either in AAA, neither have shown much in the metagame. Without there being an apparent, significant metagame knowledge back, Feitan definitely has a strong edge as he is the better player by far. Moreover, he has his manager on a leash and decides his slots himself, so he must have a solid grasp of AAA and be confident in his ability to perform in it if he decided to play it.
STAB: vivalospride vs Betathunder - I've said this before, but I don't really know STABmons much so I talked to people more experienced in the metagame. The two players have similar records, and are both competent in the real STABmons so there really isn't much of a defining edge there. I didn't wanna predict a total wash and people complained about Betathunder using AV Toxapex last week so thats why I picked vivalospride.
LC: Crashy vs Leru - Crashy is doing solid in the tournament so far, but I'm picking Leru because of him being a very good Pokemon player and he has expressed a lot of interest in LC. I don't think Monotype LC knowledge and experience will really be a factor in this match because Leru does put in effort to learn a metagame and become comfortable with it. Without that advantage, it mainly comes down to playing in which Leru is favoured. Where I can see Crashy getting advantage is in terms of the surprise factor. He is a unique builder in this slot, almost always pulling out things that you would not see on another team. He could catch Leru off guard with something like that. Leru himself was well regarded as a unique builder in SM Monotype, but I doubt he will experiment a great deal in this slot. I see him just using solid teams that he is comfortable with.
NatDex: adjustments vs Gondra - Luckypiper decided to escape Dieu Amphibien updating the meme about him, and instead chose to cannon fodder his mini-me instead of himself. Gondra is by far the better player here; he's just really good and unlike a lot of tournament players puts a huge amount of effort in preparing for him games. The Murkrows picked up their team building after bringing a Drednaw week 1, so that's not going to be an issue either. The hope for the weebs here is to cheese him or extremely fish.

Tsundere Tsareenas (4) vs. Viridian Vivillons (4)

SS: North vs gorex - North was one of the best Monotype players in BW, but there isn't much information, if any, of him when it comes to a singles format in SS. He is a really good VGC player I here though, so he is familiar with mechanics and the moves, so he wouldn't be in a situation wondering what a Pokemon is, or how a move works like his managers could be. I don't know how much he's been watching SS Monotype, so not sure if he knows what things run. I think he is a good player, but it's hard to predict him when we haven't seen anything yet. On the other hand, gorex has been doing pretty well in the tournament and has become pretty familiar with the metagame.
SS: Bushtush vs kythr - Bush is a good player but things are really just not going his way this tournament. I've heard he's been annoyed about how things are going so far, but I also don't think he's the type to really "lose motivation". I can't see him giving up on his team despite how things are going; he should still be focused on his game. kythr's pretty good too and is more familiar with SS Monotype, but Bush is a better overall Pokemon player and think he'd do well if there wasn't as many unfortunate circumstances.
Bo3: Isza vs Decem - Both these players are very motivated to do well in this tournament and put in a lot of effort in terms of prepping. Also, they have the same record. Despite these similarities, I think Isza's the better player by a decent margin. Decem's advantage here is that he can build things that often don't make sense to others, and can catch his opponent off guard. He can overwhelm Isza like this, or just prep really well for him. This should be a fairly interesting series.
Threat: K3ppr vs ToxaNex - Both these sides are really familiar with Monothreat, but I gotta give it to Nex because he is more knowledgeable of the metagame, builds better teams and tends to play better. Similar to what I said in the Tony vs taide prediction, this game can come down to how they decide to build their team. K3ppr has interesting ideas sometimes, but they are at times too idealistic. They depend on specific scenarios and might not actually occur in the game. This is similar to what I said about the Centiskorchers Monothreat.
AAA: 1 True Lycan vs The Number Man - Lycan has only lost like 4 games in AAA across 4 tournaments and 27 games prior to this tournament. Him having already lost 2 games this tournament is really surprising. The games he lost weren't about playing skill, but just really unfortunate matchups so he can't be really blamed for those. The Number Man has been doing decent as well, but going for Lycan because of his long history of dominance in this metagame.
STAB: power vs trash - trash has been doing really well in STAB so far and does a lot of prep from what I heard, so I'm leaning towards him.
LC: tko vs dcae - This should be an interesting LC game since both players are actual LC players. I am picking tko because I've seen him do Monotype LC. However, I'm sure dcae would do very well here since he's very good at regular LC and Toadow was doing fine before so teams shouldn't be a problem.
NatDex: Maskun vs maroon - Both these players have had a solid performance so far. I'm picking maroon because he is the better player and is much more knowledgeable about Monotype NatDex. I heard that the Tsareenas apparently learned that Hoopa-U was banned in this tier right before the weekend on a Friday so...
 
I feel some people have felt offended by my predictions/memes. This wasn't by any means my intention, I saw some people enjoyed them so I just continued doing them. At the end of the day when you ain't playing a tour the funniest thing to do is just laugh and joke about missplays, bad records but out of making things personal. I don't know if I crossed the line at some point, you know it's a tough time for all of us and our IRL problems can result in hate or just bad behaviour. So if any of you felt offended by my posts, I sincerely apologize. I won't be doing predicts for the rest of the tour. GL to all teams.
Not saying this to change your mind or anything, but in my opinion your predicts are just you having fun. Never been a fan of posting things to appeal to people on here and I don't think you should either. If people don't like it let them complain/make fun of you and waste their own time, not like any other predicts are any better to read. Keep doing you dude

Dont fret bro. If snowflakes are offended by your predix they need to get over it. At the end of the day the only thing that matters is if they win or not.
