The Nav Fan Nidoqueens (6) vs The Dreamless Drampas (2)
SS:
Pepeduce vs Sensei Axew: Both players are solid RUers, while I think sensei axew is good enough to beat anyone, he is also prone to making silly mistakes at times, I don't think the same is true of pepeduce who has been on a tear recently (65/35)
SS: Bugzinator vs
robjr: Very close game, both are very good, bolding robjr because he's nicer to me (49/51)
SS:
TonyFlygon vs mncmt: Is tonyflygon the greatest? yes (60/40)
SS:
Luthier vs EviGaro: This is maybe the SS highlight, I'm going to go with what I believe is to be considered the underdog and pick Luthier, he has been fire in these lower tier premier leagues and based on my experience playing him in RUPL he was at least vaguely familiar with the tier. Evigaro is a great RUer and this one will be close for sure. (53/47)
SM:
lighthouses vs Finchinator: I love Brazilians, they be speaking porch of geese and I be like quack quack daddy (55/45)
SM:
Jaajgko vs Gondra: Close one, picking all of my UUPL teammates but Evigaro to make her feel bad (55/45)
ORAS:
Santu vs Pinboim3: Santu is the goat of ORAS and beat me so bop (65/35)
BW: byronthewellwell vs
MZ: I honestly can't say I know enough about either of these players in BW to make a solid prediction but I think the series will be closer to a 6-2 than a 7-1, and MZ is good enough, bop (45/55)
The Solid Steelixes (4) vs The S-Rank Vileplumes (4)
SS: gorex vs
jake: Dang, this is a close one, gorex is fire, but Jake is definitely a player with a more solid base and while gorex can bring absolute heat teams sometimes they go to far. (45/55)
SS:
Garay oak vs Bouff: This will be extremely close if bouff can avoid the tilt this week (though I would maybe still slightly favor Garay in that case), bouff seems to have a better meta grasp in my experience but Garay is also one of those people that just wins in these lower tier premier leagues and I see no reason that won't continue (60/40)
SS: Spl4sh vs
Yggdrasil60: Both of these players are solid newcomers that I don't feel like I have enough information to make a prediction on, I guess I slightly favor ygg due to the fact he's seen more play in SS RU recently (45/55)
SS:
Averardo vs tko: tko in ss? in this economy? (60/40)
SM: Yay vs
rozes: rozes is fire, #1 raikou wielder, roman could never (40/60)
SM: DurzaOffTopic vs
Ark: this seems relatively toss-upy, I favor Ark cause I think his SM support is superior on the plumes but wouldn't be surprised to see this go either way (49/51)
ORAS:
TSR vs Chaitanya: after a slow start TSR seems to have caught fire in ORAS, there are rumors much of chait's success in RUPL came from col team's but the source on that was biased (60/40)
BW:
The Leprechaun vs trace: Put lep in SS jesus (55/45)
Also while I'm here, just want to thank everyone on the Sandacondas for a fun season, much like my own season it started fire and kinda collapsed at the end but if a couple things had gone a little differently we would have been in for sure. Specific shoutouts to
Amaroq for doing a ton of work in building for our SS,
GW and
HaxxSel for being extremely helpful and great chat presences, and
roman you're gay.
