Hello, all! I'm finally back with some predicts! Sorry I took a couple of weeks off; I've unfortunately been really sick with some virus/cold. That being said, with SPL playoffs around the corner, these are exciting times! Here's to some awesome matches this week. :)
Wi-Fi Wolfpack (7) vs (5) Cryonicles
SS OU:
Star vs Sacri'
SS OU: The Hallows vs
Updated Kanto~~I'm a fan of Updated Kanto's in SS OU, and I think their good form will continue. :)
SS OU:
1 True Lycan vs soulgazer~~1 True Lycan is actually 4-1 this season, so that's pretty impressive. Picking them to win here.
SS DOU:
SMB vs Tman
SS LC: Jytcampbell vs
ggggd~~Pablo is just too good in LC this SPL. He is on his way to an undefeated regular season, and it is very impressive.
SM OU: Welli0u vs
Eo Ut Mortus
ORAS OU: Sjneider vs
Garay oak
BW OU: Pearl vs
Finchinator~~Finch has been one of the best BWers this SPL, and that's so impressive considering the incredibly tough field! Having him in that slot going into playoffs will help out the Cryonicles a lot I'm sure.
DPP OU:
BIHI vs shawyu 1313~~BIHI's a quality player. :)
ADV OU:
BKC vs z0mOG~~My highlight match of the week. :) BKC and z0mOG have both had outstanding SPL seasons. BKC of course may be the all-time best, and z0mOG I think has had one of the best individual performances this SPL! I highlight the ADV OU part of this as well because I think that the tier and greater SPL really wins from such a great match as this. :)
GSC OU:
sulcata vs Mr.E~~Really close one. Both are good GSCers. I'm giving the edge to sulcata here because I've been impressed with their good play and builds they've brought recently.
RBY OU:
rozes vs HML am~~Another exciting match! :) rozes and HML am are both quality RBYers, and I think this has the makings to be a tightly contested match.
Alpha Ruiners (5) vs (7)
Stark Sharks--Huge match! I honestly would really like both the Ruiners and Sharks to make playoffs. I think that would make for a really exciting and intriguing playoffs in SPL.
SS OU: FLCL vs
teal6
SS OU: Empo vs
bro fist
SS OU:
Twixtry vs xray
SS DOU:
qsns vs Kiichikos
SS LC: jake vs
EviGaro~~Another really high quality match! jake and EviGaro are both very quality LCers, and I'm very excited to see what results from this battle! This will be especially important since this match between the Ruiners and Sharks will be really tight I'm sure, and its implications for getting into playoffs are obviously significant.
SM OU:
Gondra vs frisoeva~~Gondra has impressed me so much this season. I thought they would do well this SPL, but I know a lot of people had their doubts. Glad to see they're excelling so much. :)
ORAS OU:
xImRaptor vs Erzengel~~Both of these players are talented and more than capable in ORAS OU, and I don't think there will be much between them here.
BW OU: Caetano93 vs
SoulWind~~SOULWIND is just astoundingly good in BW OU. I don't think there are too many players around who just instill in you as much confidence in their ability to win in this tier. They just always or almost always seem to find a way to win, and it's amazing to witness. Backs to the wall, it sure is nice to have a player like SOULWIND to count on for a win. That being said, Caetano93 is also a quality player, and upsets do happen! I don't think it will this week, but anything's possible.
DPP OU: Emeral vs
DeepBlueC
ADV OU: Alexander. vs
Blightbringer~~Should be a nice, high-quality here. :)
GSC OU:
FriendOfMrGolem120 vs Conflict~~I'm very excited for this match. FOMG is a great player and I admire him a lot, but then Conflict is also super good at GSC OU! I expect this will be a really entertaining, high-quality match, and I can't wait to watch it.
RBY OU: ErPeris vs
Genesis7~~I'm a fan of Gensis7 in RBY. :) Solid all-around. ErPeris is good as well, and RBY of course can fluctuate dramatically, so as almost always, we'll see, but I think Genesis7 has this one.
Congregation of the Classiest (6) vs (6) Ever Grande BIGS
SS OU: blarghlfarghl vs
Sabella~~Very excited for this match. :) Sabella and Blargh are great, and I think this will be a tight, high-quality battle we get to watch.
SS OU:
suapah vs Sage
SS OU:
Insult vs xtra$hine
SS DOU: stax vs
Ezrael~~It's hard to choose against any player who hasn't lost yet this far into SPL, so I won't break from that here! Ezrael has also used some pretty cool DOU teams so far.
SS LC: Serene Grace vs
idiotfrommars~~I'm more used to seeing idiotfrommars play in GSC OU, but will be interesting to see how they continue to fare in LC!
SM OU: false vs
ima
ORAS OU:
Persephone vs Santu
BW OU:
Raiza vs Frania
DPP OU:
Excal vs GaryTheGengar~~Go Excal! :)
ADV OU: Tamahome vs
CALLOUS~~This should be a great match. Both are quality players, and experienced ADV OUers. I honestly am not really sure, but I just have a feeling about CALLOUS after seeing their win last week. Overall just looking forward to a quality match. :)
GSC OU:
KratosMana vs Diophantine~~This should be sweeet. Dio and KratosMana are both very quality players, and I would not be surprised at all to see this be a well-fought and tight battle!
RBY OU: Amaranth vs
Nails
Circus Maximus Tigers (3) vs (9)
Team Raiders--Truly amazing that the Raiders--widely considered at the start of the season a team that many would cheer for but had little chance of making playoffs--are possibly on the verge of making playoffs. I think that's something to applaud, and kudos to the Raiders for putting the naysayers' remarks aside and just going to work to try and win the tournament.
SS OU:
McMeghan vs Simia~~Not super sure what to expect from McMeghan in SS OU, but he's one of the GOATs for sure, sooo, probably will fare well I'd think.
SS OU:
Steve Angello vs Lusa~~I'll be curious to see how this turns out! Steve Angello has had a bit of an up and down season, but to be fair, the BW OU group in SPL this year has been amazing, and so sporting an okay record in that tier is alright.
SS OU: Kebab mlml vs
Vulpix03
SS DOU: robjr vs
kaori~~Kaori is a good DOU player, and I think they'll continue to do well. :)
SS LC: Osh vs
LilyAC~~Lily has been close in a few recent LC battles this SPL, and I think they will get there this week! Especially with the pressure on the Raiders now to make playoffs, I think they'll get over the hump and
SM OU: Tace vs
Trosko~~Trosko has been in impressive form this SPL. Hopefully that will continue to help the Raiders
ORAS OU:
Luigi vs reiku~~Despite the Tigers being out of it, Luigi is still one of the best ORAS OUers around.
BW OU: MajorBowman vs
Posho~~I'm excited for this match. :) I don't know if I've seen MajorBowman play BW OU before, but it's cool seeing the Tigers switch up their line-up since they're out of playoff contention now.
DPP OU: Raichy vs
ToF~~ToF has been looking solid in DPP OU recently. I wouldn't pick against them often in DPP OU, and this is no exception to that.
ADV OU: Eeveeto vs
pasy_g
GSC OU: Zokuru vs
dice~~Still think it's really cool when players switch tiers partway through SPL. Certainly impressive, and dice has looked strong in GSC OU so far.
RBY OU: Kaz vs
MetalGro$$~~MetalGro$$ is sporting a very solid record in RBY OU this SPL, and I think their success will continue! Kaz is a respectable player, and anything can happen in RBY, so this could be close, but I think with MetalGro$$'s success throughout this SPL, this one will be a win for them.
Indie Scooters (4) vs (8)
Dragonspiral Tyrants
SS OU: Leo vs
TDK
SS OU:
starry blanket vs Christo
SS OU: Quaze vs
blunder~~Blunder is still one of the best SS OUers around. He'll finish off SPL with a good record.
SS DOU: talkingtree vs
marilli~~I don't know about a lot of people, but I've really enjoyed watching so many of these DOU battles during SPL. :) Some of them are very exciting, and the strategies and thought processes that go
SS LC: tazz vs
Luthier~~Luthier is one of the best LCers in this SPL group! It's been cool to see because I feel like there's a very talented group of LC players competing, and perhaps Luthier has been a bit overlooked. That being said, we'll see how this match goes and those LC matches for the rest of SPL!
SM OU:
Lopunny Kicks vs CTC
ORAS OU: Adri vs
CrashinBoomBang~~Great match! Adri and CBB are both players I enjoy watching
BW OU: zf vs
John W
DPP OU: Kevin Garrett vs
The Grand Babido~~Heist has been looking in good form with four straight wins the past four weeks. I think their success will continue. :)
ADV OU:
CyberOdin vs Gilbert arenas~~CyberOdin has been looking VERY solid and is on an incredibly hot streak, beating BKC and z0mOG
back to back the past couple of weeks in SPL!
That's quite amazing, and so I think their success will continue into this week. Also, like, 6-1 this season so far!
GSC OU:
Fear vs gorgie~~Fear has obviously had an amazing SPL campaign. I'm not sure that the Scooters will make playoffs, but it will be cool to see if he goes undefeated this season. Some prolific play
RBY OU: Bedschibaer vs
Heroic Troller~~Heroic Troller seems to be getting back into top RBY form and at a very important time for the Tyrants as they try and make playoffs. Beds is a tough opponent, though, so this one will be interesting to watch! One of the better matches of the week in my opinion.
Oh, and to the Bigs, please let Mannat play before the season is over. :( I hope you guys make playoffs, but Mannat is pretty much your Team Manager and he's really awesome.
Good luck to everyone this week and as always, have lots of fun. :) Spread the love.
