Biased predictions coming through!
Team Oceania vs Team US West
SV: Aberforth vs
Frito - Aber4th hates this meta and didn't even play it in SCL what a fucking dweeb of a TL we got. Frito on the other hand? Fat ass no thoughts head empty clickity clack you're going in my sack. If Aber lucks (he will) Frito might tilt but eh.
SV: Stallion vs MAHOH - I don't think Stallion has played a lot of DLC2 Ubers so I am gonna give it to the AG main.
SV:
Trade vs waterfals - more familiar with the tier.
SV:
etern vs lepton - crickey, this motherfucker farmed my team x3 in ORASPL! Surely he can click in SV, he's got the Tier Leader badge!
SS:
baconeatinassassin vs polt - a wise man once told me to never ever bold polt so I am gonna follow his advice. The reasoning provided would get me infracted but BEA (no not that one) is an SS legend so yeah.
USM: Drifting vs
PurpleGatorade - the brown boy who cried Griselda has had a lot of success in USM... when it was current gen. Meanwhile, Drifting has to either use Durians teams (all sabotaged by Mashing) or use Tape teams (execution heavy). Easy to bold my favorite drink!
ORAS:
byronthewellwell vs Smudge - Not familiar with smudge but byron clicks well well.
BW:
March Fires vs Tbolt - 3rd best BW player OAT behind Hackbabe and Trout (inventor of mons).
DPP:
shrang vs Inspirited - gonna bold the HO main because he seems to have Inspirited's number when it comes to their exact MU. Sad!
ADV: MTB vs
BigFatMantis - I think I've seen BFM play ADV Ubers before, whereas I've never seen MTB
play. another clearcut MU.
Team US Midwest + East vs
Team China
SV: tier vs
Master Origami - Listen, I like tier, I love tier. But if you think he's gonna beat Chinese innovation? Sadly, you're mistaken. 100-0 matchup unless he crits them every turn.
SV:
robjr vs KanzakiHAria - rob unfortunately is a better overall pilot despite Kanzaki being my homie.
SV:
Expulso vs July Rain - Expulso unfortunately is a better overall pilot despite July Rain being my homie.
SV: justdrew vs
Raceding - Raceding fortunately doesn't play SS UU so he has a better mental despite drew being a homie.
SS: avarice vs
LouisIX - if you were on the last edition of the Durians and you're not named exiline I am never bolding your name dawg, sorry Avarice it's nothing personnel, kid.
USM:
Zesty43 vs Metallica126 - genuinely, the worst person on team China to put against Zesty. I love Metallica to bits but as I said on discord, he's the most standard player out of all of team China which means Zesty can play a rather standard Zesty game and come out on top, especially he's hit his stride as of late.
ORAS:
The Dovahneer vs cscl - if I see CM Ghostceus I am shooting Dovah.
BW:
Monai vs Vusty. - Monai has my teams (read: stolen teams) and he's not the worst Massachusetts native I know so surely he can't lose, right?
DPP: Nineveh
vs burstbean - if Zayele is playing, win for them. If Zayele isn't playing, win for burstbean.
ADV: FatFighter2 vs
dragonitenb - obesitydemolisher3 will get sunstalled and lose while loading Altaria trying to flex.
Team Brazil vs
Team Spain
SV: Skyiew vs
seroo - seroo has a tiny bit of Ubers prep from facing Taka in like, TPPPL or whatever the fuck those unviable tours are called. I am not familiar with Skyiew's game.
SV:
dog mendigoso vs Joya - literally bolding him cause he's got dog in his name sorry Joya.
SV:
JojenReed vs Ina fable - taka's disciple shall win if he loads standard instead of 172 HP Koraidon trying to fish. Can't say ina fable has Ubers experience or clicketyclack experience so yeah!
SV: wssi vs
Javi - on my life Brazil brought out the shooters from Sao Paulo who are these men.
SS:
zeeLitium vs Dasmer - I flipped a coin
USM:
LpZ vs Reze - LpZ clicks and clacks in a lot of lower tiers and SM favors those who have played a shitton of random metagames.
ORAS: Thiago Nunes vs
Wamr - MY FUCKING GOAT OF ORAS NO ONE COMES CLOSE NO ONE DOES IT LIKE HIM EXCEPT MZ HE'S THE GUY HE'S
MY GUY WAMR HAVE MY BABIES
BW: Beraldo vs
Eeveeto - Can't say Beraldinho soccer has been a powerhouse in Ubers! maybe BW will be his gen but being paired up against the Veto is a trial by fire for real.
DPP:
Luigi vs Sheik - she get on my back till I err on the side of caution and bold the former TD and CBB killa.
ADV:
Hyogafodex vs Lhions _ I always liked Hyoga :)
Team Benelux vs
Team Canada
SV: Michielleus vs
LBN - so close to greatness! if LBN was facing a user named "mischievous" it'd be a mirror and I'd be slapping my fatass thighs laughing like I am a caricature of an old man from the US South; alas, Billy the Kid will make quick work of this Beneluxian fella.
SV: Drud vs
King Billu - Billu en SV is a sight to behold but not a pretty one - Drud is a good pilot and I think I saw him in one of those CPLs play Ubers but I could be wrong? Still I am bolding Billu because he's in a jerk with me.
SV:
Quinn vs 3d - 3D suffered brain injuries and didn't go to the hospital because he had to "be about that grind" and the brain injuries were probably fatal considering he's stuck playing fucking SV Ubers. Quinn lost some crucial games in PTPL but he's also a Miltank feller so bolded.
SV:
Ivar57 vs Amukamara - Amukamara is a really strong player BUT every time I read his name I remember CBU exists and his fatass visage fills my cerebral cortex which disgusts me so this is my most biased prediction yet.
SS: Wesleyy vs
Fc -
View attachment 593273
SM: Kipkluif vs
Goat Heart - please do not load hyw Xurkitree ty.
ORAS: Blue YM vs
Fardin - when new players face fardin they might try and scout him; they will obviously see that he loves stall, as he does in every fucking tier he's touched, but also see some odd sets like the ID Fairyceus or the Geopass team I think I saw in his scout during ORASPL. They will try to beat a team that demolishes all those gimmicks, probably gonna have a Ditto or some shit.... then fartin will just have RestTalk GeoXern on sample HO and walk away with a 6-0. the end!
BW:
Fant'sy Beast vs Career Ended - career thought I was a viable draft pick in OMs there's no way this man is sane.
DPP: OranBerryBlissey10 vs
susciety - looking forward to another year of susciety explaining his prep after the tournament ends, how he got outplayed for 40 turns but then froze his opponent with Aurora Beam Kyogre.
ADV: Farce Of The Death vs
Heysup - my lawyers have advised me to just bold a name and keep going.
Team Latin America vs
Team Asia
SV: DAHLI vs
Manaphy - Manaphy usually has strong week 1s so he's good to go here; DAHLI could definitely take it if Manaphy sabotages himself with Corviknight or lead Iron Treads, tho.
SV:
Raptor vs realaccountami? - If raptor can carry my ass in teamballo he can win in SV Ubers.
SV:
Dark Shion vs TMM - I think TMM will go too far in prep and try to go 3 steps beyond what Shion is gonna bring and wrap himself up as a gift MU; Shion has had great showings and also ass showings, so we gotta roll a dice I guess.
SV: Ann vs
sapphiree - I like this user's name more.
SS:
ACR1 vs Mimikyu Stardust - MMQ almost sustained life threatening injuries due to dumbassery literally less than a week ago and his immediate thought was "I am gonna share this in the Davescord". A man of many talents but beating the Argentine may not be in his wheelhouse.
SM:
Gondra vs Flatemo - I love Gondra too much not to bold him in a pilot's tier.
ORAS: Akaru Kokuyo vs
malefic - malefic was playing ORAS Ubers tournaments when Akaru was literally in primary school; will he build new teams or am I gonna have Hack MALDING in Europe's chat about Absolute Control being loaded in 2014, 9 years after its inception?
BW:
Edgar vs DiannieRatson - mainer vs person I don't know, should be pretty cut n dry.
DPP:
Mashing vs gorex - gorex will definitely HO, not know the lead sequences and get clobbered by some Choice Scarf Rayquayquay that he didn't account for nor was weak to.
ADV:
Fakee vs Fluore - CAP main vs Genshin Impact main; somehow a close matchup. Fake takes it because I saw pictures of him using one of those floor polisher's on Nalorium's bald head so he's primed and ready to kick ass.
Team France vs Team US South
SV:
Shuwri vs Kate - Kate is a better pilot in my opinion but I think she cooks a bit too hard in teamtours so she's gonna lose in a Bo1 setting to preplord Shuwri. if this was a bo3 I'd always bold the other way, though.
SV:
Raph369 vs TPP - Durians curse; maybe TPP will have real builders this time so he won't suck ass into the bikes like he did in UPL but Raph is gonna bring back that Tinted Lens cockroach whose name I forget and FIMP some Miraidon from full.
SV:
RichardMillePlain vs S-Matrix - while Smarties gets his sealegs again in Ubers teamtours the super defeated Richard (self-reported he doesn't enjoy the tier too much atm) will take advantage of all the test games he plays with Raph to load some horsery and catch Matrix offguard. I fear for whoever has to face S-Matrix week 2, though....
SV: Beleth vs
PrimalKyogre - OM mainer vs UM mainer? UM Mainer wins because their bans are for funnier reasons. Also I faced the Ogre man in a roomtour once and he beat me so surely he's played more than 1 game of SV!
SS: Inder vs
crying - Inder the strongest gimmick user of today vs the strongest gimmick user of all time. Would Inder lose to choice specs Yveltal with Sucker Punch as the sole Calyrex-S answer? "Nah, I'd Astral Barrage".
cut to inder cut in half with Rotom-C standing above him.
SM:
Staxi vs pdt - Staxi hasn't played in 5 years and pdt hasn't won an Ubers game in 5 years. Highlight match!
ORAS: Royal1604 vs
The Strap - Royal had an ass ORASPL whereas the brap kept critting his way through his misplays so it's again pretty cut n dry.
BW: SiTuM
vs byulharang - the worst matchup I've ever seen. Everyone involved in this should be tried in the Hague.
DPP: Alkione vs
Stone Cold - I once showed a DPP Ubers team that Alkione had cooked to Zayele and she turned more racist than the average Boston Celtics fan after Jayson Tatum misses a buzzer beater*.
ADV: MMII vs
Xrn - genuinely rate Xrn super highly if he has someone to bounce ideas off of. MMII is obviously no slouch but I think Xrn is gonna be a kryptonite of sorts based on the playstyles I've seen out of the two of them.
*for the purposes of my friendship with this woman, this is clearly a joke I don't think she's racist despite living in New York and being sympathetic to New Jersey as a state
