Dragon's Den Dragonairs (6) vs (4) L.A.P.R.A.S

SS: Sage vs Amane Misa - most hype SS mu
SS: Micciu vs Fc
SS: Lyss vs udongirl - udonudonudon
SM: etern vs Pak - etern has been super good this tour but have more faith in pak
ORAS: Chaitanya vs Ayaka - wtf was that game last week
BW: Amukamara vs Fakee - liam en bw
DPP: Seldanna vs Cubic Skunk - both pretty motivated, should see some cool sets at the very least
ADV: Parpar vs fatty - could def go either way but it's fatty
GSC: HSA vs Inder - go sisters!!
RBY: Shellnuts vs Unowndragon - the dragon

The Hydrophobic Volcanions (6) vs (4) Wild Wordle Wurmples

SS: Allen-xia vs pdt - adaam dodging shall not be rewarded
SS: Armada vs Corazan - I think corazan wins a neutral mu but think armada has the stronger ss support
SS: Adaam vs TJ - should be a fun watch, both are positive
SM: Xiri vs robjr
ORAS: Snowy vs gorex
BW: eden vs Punny - go punny!!
DPP: innovamania vs Spl4sh - go sisters!!
ADV: Heysup vs BigFatMantis - expecting interesting sets

rooting for dragonairs!!
 
Dragon's Den Dragonairs (5) vs (5) L.A.P.R.A.S
SS: Sage vs Amane Misa - amanes been surprisingly strong this tour ofc but sage has been arguably more dominant especially being able to throw herself into multiple slots and win. should be a good game

SS: Micciu vs Fc - micciu is an awesome person and i do hope they win, but while i havent watched that much of fc's game this tour, his games in uufpl impressed me that i'd bet he wins this

SS: Lyss vs udongirl - lyss definitely the more consistent, stronger player, but udongirl at this point has proved they can beat anyone with the help of their unique sets so dont be surprised if this upset happens

SM: etern vs Pak - this matchup literally just happened and it looked pretty dominant. eterns proven themselves this tour though so maybe they can get revenge
ORAS: Chaitanya vs Ayaka - both are doing a bit above average record-wise so i'll go with the stronger player
BW: Amukamara vs Fakee - looks like liam won pretty comfortably last week in this matchup, same story with the sm game
DPP: Seldanna vs Cubic Skunk - both seem pretty motivated to build and if we remove that i think seldannas the stronger player (sorry skunk)
ADV: Parpar vs fatty - seemed like one of the few people to stop par doubles reign in adv
GSC: HSA vs Inder - feel like hsa doesnt lose when he tries in this tier but idk inders prob more motivated and wants this so who knows
RBY: Shellnuts vs Unowndragon - even records but my gut says i'd trust unown to win

The Hydrophobic Volcanions (5) vs (5) Wild Wordle Wurmples

SS: Allen-xia vs pdt pdts the goat but yeah why isnt this adaam vs pdt??? booooo!! put up a good fight allen-xia for the fans plz
SS: Armada vs Corazan - bolding for the upset here bc armada is some1 who will click with no fucks given which could def throw corozan off
SS: Adaam vs TJ - tjs been doing fine this tour but adaams been too dominant
SM: Xiri vs robjr - looks like another close one but barely leaning rob cause idk
ORAS: Snowy vs gorex - barely seen these two play let alone in oras so idk
BW: eden vs Punny - punnys just quietly 7-0, and i think this matchup wasnt close last time so def bolding him. edens strong overall though so he could bounce back
DPP: innovamania vs Spl4sh - inno hasnt been doing too hot and spl4sh is solid
ADV: Heysup vs BigFatMantis - idk
GSC: vani vs Raichy - been typing these out too long
RBY: Torchic vs AM - lol

should be an epic semis !

alright u fuckin losers

Dragon's Den Dragonairs (4.5) vs (5.5) L.A.P.R.A.S

SS: Sage vs Amane Misa - Sage is an incredible player and my dear friend whom I love but I want to highlight a major issue in the community atm with this bold/mu. I'm convinced Misa has gotta be one of the most underrated UUers of all time after this tour, the disrespect and lack of awareness is fuckin NUTS. Probably has bodied every person wondering who she is dozens of times on the ladder w/o a single loss, and without them even knowing it's her. Can definitely go either way, Sage is amazing, but would like to see a punctuation on this run.
SS: Micciu vs Fc - Micciu played one of the worst games of pokemon I think i've ever seen last week, it might be the worst, honestly. Rooting for their improvement and success but I'd bold a spec of dirt here.
SS: Lyss vs udongirl - gonna bold Lyss, I was dead for the majority of the uprising of Lyss and due to that I don't actually rly know how good she is. I feel like udon can only spam mono choiced mons for so long w/o people finding a way around it, I'm sure Lyss can get an edge in prep by simply being good. I think udon is p sick tho, but ye I think Lyss is the favorite.
SM: etern vs Pak - I think eternally is another player that is underrated, at one point had an extremely strong and decently long stretch in SM, one UUPL kinda sapped his interest up I think, but he is one of my favorite non UU guys for sure and I personally believe should be respected as a top tier SM slot. Pak is like UU mount rushmore tho lol, Pak with certainty will bring something just right for him, where he knows how to get the most mileage out of the team, and will pilot it how it should be piloted in any given mu. Can't bold against.
ORAS: Chaitanya vs Ayaka - After last week I can't bold against Gondra, Chait is good and has a good track record in the tier and can probably trip up Pak prep with the type of stuff he builds so who knows, will be a good game.
BW: Amukamara vs Fakee - Liam's pretty good, in this tier he's gotta be at the tippy top of the pool w/o question. This tier confuses me so I won't pretend to know much w certainty but I think Liam has grown into a v strong slot rly anywhere and deserves to have a good tour in whatever tour he enters, should get the dub here.
DPP: Seldanna vs Cubic Skunk - dunno much abt skunk except random things ive heard, he seems green for sure but potentially threatening. Not to be underestimated though. Regardless idk much abt Seldanna, in fact ik nothing, but will bold them bc they have been winning I think and I have more faith in them maintaining their position of the starting DPPer all tour in comparison to skunk's first game in a UU subforum tour.
ADV: Parpar vs fatty - fatman, one of my favorite people that I'm not that close with, deserves all the recognition in the world for his years of dominance in whatever tier he decides to play each UU subforum tour that comes around. Idk much abt parpar but honestly there's nobody left in the tour regardless I'd bold against fatty.
GSC: HSA vs Inder - dunno much abt inder and GSC hurts my brain, HSA is p good at it though afaik
RBY: Shellnuts vs Unowndragon - dunno anything abt either of these guys and I think this tier is a complete joke

The Hydrophobic Volcanions (3) vs (7) Wild Wordle Wurmples

SS: Allen-xia vs pdt - Allen has had a great tour but I can't bet against peter dick tickle here
SS: Armada vs Corazan - cora has had a strong tour I think? haven't payed much attention but getting tf away from SM has seemed to give him some fresh air he needed in this subforum, idk shit tho, gonn abold cora bc idrk the other guy much and i think cora is p good
SS: Adaam vs TJ - TJ was picked p early and I kinda understand why, has finally blossomed into a good pilot w support to throw into whatever tier. Adam is handsome though, like so handsome and if I had a gun to my head and had to pick who the best SS UUer is, I might honestly pick Adam.
SM: Xiri vs robjr - Xiri is p good for sure but hasn't had the best tour. I like rob a lot and even though in the past 2ish years he hasn't looked omega dominant in totality like he has tended to be, I think he played his game last week pretty well and has had a good tour. Rooting for him personally and the tides are just pulling in his favor in general here, he's got the momentum while xiri does not.
ORAS: Snowy vs gorex - I like gorex but I could never pass up the opportunity to bold Snowy in a tour. My RMT brother, it makes me happy to see him still around and winning games, so I would like for that to continue happening.
BW: eden vs Punny - big eden fan but punny is basically god idek man
DPP: innovamania vs Spl4sh - Honestly I think innov is worthy of being picked up in these tours, but something doesn't seem to be clicking for him. Idk what it is but I hope he figures it out and pulls a win out here, I can't rationalize bolding him though w the past 2 tours in mind.
ADV: Heysup vs BigFatMantis - Hope Heysup gets revenge for Bouff, I do like Heysup and BFM but I can't bold against heysup here, has years of success backing him that BFM doesn't yet
GSC: vani vs Raichy - idk vani personally but seems to be truly quite the edgelord. This site is naturally filled w those but he definitely stands out which is honestly p impressive. Will be bolding Raichy cause he's p cool, could go either way.
RBY: Torchic vs AM - Torchic just seems to be god in this tier, for all we know they are literally the only person out of the whole pool that actually has any idea what they're doing. I honestly think that might be the case, this tier is such horseshit and Torchic is the golden horse created to kick the shit out of everybody else bc none of them can compare. Regardless out of bias I will be hoping for the upset, as a spectator and ex-teammate of AM during his RBY UU debut. Was vouching for him heavy as a pick pre-draft and wanna see him succeed.

I wanna say thank you Indigo Plateau and Sage for giving me a chance to play in a big team tour such as this. It's been a pleasure. I really signed up thinking I had no real chance of getting picked up due to the high ceiling of better adv uu players but hey I proved myself ig.

Thank you Accel and Shiba for team building advice and builds.

And a big thank you to Micciu for helping me with teams and testing every week. I probably wouldnt have done as well if you weren't there for the support. Also glad you got to prove yourself as a player as well. :goat: :pouss:
