[TheWyvernKing]

Attribute Audinos (3) vs (4) Froakie Frog Force
SV: roxie vs rs - rs may have a history of taking souls but Roxie is gonna eat some fried chicken, listen to whatever songs Maroon has listed in his suspects playlist, and then leave no crumbs as he takes the win.
SV: Wincon vs WhiteQueen - Can't bold against WQ. WQ is a solid player, and good vibes. Will he put hypnosis on a ninetales? Yep, we love that. You do you WQ, I'm rooting for you.
SV: feen vs ArkenCiel - Arken is on the top of his game, feen is getting his name misspelled by Ken.
SV: Fírnen vs Cielau - For whatever reason I find it hard to bold against Firnen, probs cause I remember that name, that being said Cielau is also solid and well versed in this meta.
CAP: Sae vs Dj Breloominati♬ - Sae accidentally ended up in MWP in the year of 2023 and he's facing the goat, it's Cap though so idk.
LC: Felines vs anique - This is more a gut feeling thing, LC is the most 50/50 tier on this planet though so here's to speed ties.
NatDex: Suspensse vs adjustments - Yeah got no opinions here man
Threat: pas_touchao vs iLlama - More familiar with Pas_touchao, when I think pas_touchao I think of his groot picture and it puts a smile on my face.

Goldenrod Gengars (3) vs (5) Po Town Pandas
SV: Chaitanya vs Floss - Floss is a silent killer, or maybe we just have different timezones - the guy's across the planet. Both solid players though, this is moreso me believing in Floss.
SV: Leru vs The Strap - The Strap is a name that brings power that Leru can only try to replicate.
SV: pikachu<3 vs bb skarm - XYZ is what you get when you roll 0 on Charisma, that being said he's a solid player that knows what he's doing.
SV: Rinda vs Booty - I feel like both players just get passed a team, but I don't bold against Booty and he's never out of good form.
CAP: memedose46 vs TTK - Solid showing last week, idk how familiar either are in Cap Mono but TTK seems to know what he's doing
LC: lax vs Nailec - lax takes pride in a tier that is not only objectively worse than ORAS, but also a tier that absolutely nobody knows a thing about. + It's Lax.
NatDex: Splash vs Isza - Isza is a legacySplash is gonna load a trich team
Threat: Vodoom vs cpt.kraken - Vodoom and Trich had their dysfunctional parent Ikea fight in chat about Threat and now Vodoom is here to take names and prove himself. Kraken is hungry for a win, Vodoom is hungry to dish out pain. There is a motivational difference here.

Gotham City Glameows (3) vs (4) Brawl Stars Staraptors
SV: Scarfire vs Leafium Z - This is like in JJK where you create a domain expansion, but the sole rule is you fight with zero braincells. One does not simply win vs. Leaf.
SV: Shiraiki vs yedla - Shiraiki lost as divine punishment for not attempting to put the wakes back together, that being said they're both solid players, I favor Shiraiki here though.
SV: DugZa vs Taka - Dugza is goated, Taka is good but esp in a neutral I favor Dugza. That being said Dugza has type tendencies and I feel like I see him get matchupd more than anyone as a result. Learn Dugza.
SV: maroon vs Azick - Could go either way, going more with a gut feeling here.
CAP: Sificon vs Mada - Mada's team last week wasn't great but I see that more as a one time thing.
LC: rarre vs Quinn - fake tier
NatDex: style.css vs hellom - This will also be a solid set, going with my homie here.
Threat: Meta vs Gelbel3c - I can't bold against Gelbel3c after this past week, man brought Mirror Herb Iron Moth and Scarf Self Destruct Qwilfish.

[Azick]

Attribute Audinos (1) vs (3) Froakie Frog Force
SV: roxie vs rs - Coming off an extreme high of skillfully clicking icicle crash 5 times and proceeding to talk after the fact I must predict in favor of the monotype council's star player.
SV: Wincon vs WhiteQueen - WhiteQueen's the stronger player but as seen last week being known for stall and loading it regardless is very easy to punish. If they branch out a bit I think they can definitely pull it but they haven't really in the past and I think Felines support can cook here.
SV: feed vs ArkenCiel - Arken's been on a high note for a while now and I don't think anything will change here.
SV: Fírnen vs Cielau - Didn't watch the firnen game after I saw the fire mirror tbh, Cielau is one of the best in the pool and played a solid game last week despite some.. misplays from our side. Regardless I look forward to this faceoff of the old versus new french.

Goldenrod Gengars (3) vs (1) Po Town Pandas
SV: Chaitanya vs Floss - Floss almost lost last week after loading Ghost into screens Zamazenta but got bailed by genius Attribute running kasib on Gholdengo. Chait played a vry nice game and I'd favor him here.
SV: Leru vs The Strap - These two give off the exact same vibes and beyond that idrk but Leru has more experience with the tier.
SV: pikachu<3 vs bb skarm - I'm ngl I have no idea who bb skarm is but XYZ had a nice debut game earlier tonight and I think he'll continue on strong for a bit.
SV: Rinda vs Booty - I probably would of predicted Rinda if this was week 1 but Booty played a solid game vs Wincon whereas Rinda had some of the most criminal gameplay in recent memory. Regardless, if Rinda takes some time to practice and locks in I think he can definitely pull it but edge Booty.

Imouto Totodiles (2) vs (2) Snowpoint Staravias
SV: Dieu Amphibien vs Mihowk - Think these two are similar skill level and both loaded pretty unlosable mus last week so not much to go off there. Would edge Miho as I think he's stronger in prep.
SV: Fraolain vs Xiri - Frol played a solid game last week despite not pulling it out while Xiri sacked Ogerpon-Hearth t1 against a ground type team.
SV: clean vs tMoi - Both players coming off a loss last week and I don't have a ton to say but I think tMoi is going to be a bit more motivated.
SV: Tarre25 vs TheWyvernKing - Despite winning Wyvern loaded some nonsense and should be infracted for his timer nonsense but regardless I think Tarre25 is a consistent under the radar player and after a good start week 1 I think he will continue here.

 

[sapphiree]

hahaha first to drop week 2 predicts. (edit: not the first..) went 12-11 last week LOLOL so let's try to do better this time

Attribute Audinos (1) vs (7) Froakie Frog Force
SV: roxie vs rs - sorry audinos, looks like this is gonna be a rough week for y'all. shiba + sv support will dominate. looking forward to what roxie will cook for this week tho. 45/55
SV: Wincon vs WhiteQueen - didnt watch the game between wq and leaf but wq won't lose twice in a row surely (stall power) 40/60 (double sub)
SV: feen vs ArkenCiel - arken is in great form and i think it'll show in all his games. 40/60
SV: Fírnen vs Cielau - cielau is more well-versed with sv meta imo, this will be an interesting match but cielau should win this. 40/60
CAP: Sae vs Dj Breloominati♬ - rooting for spitfire as always, he won last week while sae didn't so that's the entire basis of my assumption. 40/60
LC: Felines vs anique - anique beat lc mainer quinn last week which gives me confidence that he will get the dub this week too. of course, lc is a very umm.. tier so it can go either way, the margin is small here. 45/55
NatDex: Suspensse vs adjustments - adjustments has great natdex support with anique and in general is a well-rounded player. bolding my fellow spirits member. 40/60
Threat: pas_touchao vs iLlama - pas_touchao is the better player i feel, with much experience in monotype and threat in general. 65/35

Goldenrod Gengars (4) vs (4) Po Town Pandas
SV: Chaitanya vs Floss - ex-tl vs current tl yayy. floss is definitely more well-versed in cg imo. 45/55
SV: Leru vs The Strap - while both players have amazing team support, i think leru has the edge here due to more experience. 60/40
SV: pikachu<3 vs bb skarm - xyz won last week and people have been saying he's a decent player. i know he's been around in monotype so i'll bold the mono mainer. 60/40
SV: Rinda vs Booty - unless rinda brings a torn-t that'll hax the opponent, i think sabella wins by a long shot. 40/60 (sub)
CAP: memedose46 vs TTK - so glad gengars freed memedose, but ttk has more experience with cap mono. rooting for both! 40/60
LC: lax vs Nailec - can't bold against the guy who makes 4 alts and dominates lc ladder with mono poison. 65/35
NatDex: Splash vs Isza - both players won last week and both players are credible, therefore i'll rely on my trusty gut feeling here and bold isza. it's hard to make a prediction when both teams have amazing support but isza might have a slight edge. 45/55
Threat: Vodoom vs cpt.kraken - vodoom has a higher skill ceiling so i'll bold him, although it's threat so it can go either way. 55/45

Imouto Totodiles (3) vs (5) Snowpoint Staravias
SV: Dieu Amphibien vs Mihowk - mihowk beat vodoom last week and in general dominated in last chance with samples (a point i made last week too) so i put my confidence in mihowk. 40/60
SV: Fraolain vs Xiri - after seeing last week's game, i think the margin between frao and xiri has increased even further. frao can cook and is much more well-versed with the metagame. 65/35
SV: clean vs tMoi - clean has good support and only lost last week due to that horrid mirror mu (what was that game LOL). tMoi almost had his own mirror mu had his quagsire knew spikes. 55/45
SV: Tarre25 vs TheWyvernKing - wyv is the main character this tour after witnessing him clutch the lower probabilities of 10% miss on heat wave and 12.5% chance to ohko articuno from full. i'm sure he'll get a game-changing crit and seal the win. 40/60
CAP: Fogbound Lake vs Ashbala - fogbound lake won't lose twice in a row. while i have confidence in ashbala's cap skills my gut says fogbound will win. 55/45
LC: Ronman5 vs kythr - kythr gonna come back stronger after losing last week. more experienced in lc overall which gives him a nice edge. 40/60
NatDex: schwipper vs Sunnyboi0 - sunnyboi + crossheart core doesn't disappoint. sunnyboi is also an ndm mainer so i think he should win. 45/55
Threat: mind gaming vs Toadow - bolding the mono mainer. close mu after witnessing mind gaming's game last week. 45/55

quick disclaimer: these predicts are not a comment on anyone's player skill and are just for fun. they're mostly just based on an obscure mixture of gut feeling and past records. let's have a great week 2!
