Bulletproof Bombers vs Toxic Chains
SV - blunder vs feen: 2 shogun brothers, blunder's a great player and feen has the sauce, and has been playing well lately too. I still think I rate blunder with ajna / feli support higher.
SV - tko vs xavgb: tough draw for the memshow, there's probably like 1 person in this whole tour i'd bold against stresh.
SV - Skarpherim vs Xiri: assuming this is skarph? honestly i have no idea, still think xiri is a great player tho.
SS - Meru vs Mac3: probably wins if he doesn't recycle teams from his scl team dump, meru is great tho so could go either way, especially if mac3 decides to recycle public teams again
SM - ima vs xXcrossbowXx: probably the biggest steal of the draft, 3k gima shouldn't be allowed
ORAS - Ajna vs eifo: great mu but as my dear friend pepeduce said, when in doubt or in orass, bold ajna
BW - lax vs devin: locked in
BO3 - Feliburn vs EviGaro: nice tl showdown, evi's teams are always sick and i'd probably give her the edge in sv, but i rate feli's ss higher and sm is a tossup, so i'm bolding the slightly less unlucky player.

Iron Fisters vs Crunchwrap Supreme Overlord Juniors
SV - Mana vs hjkhj: rate mana higher as a player, and I didn't really like what hjk cooked last week, feeling like mana's got better support too.
SV - Master Chief vs hellom: hellom is probably the best player in the tour or at least one of the best if we're talking pure skill, but the juniors teams have been a bit lackluster, mc is also a great player and has brought a better team making me more confident in bolding him. if hellom gets a good teams he can take this without a doubt.
SV - atomicllamas vs Kushalos: the chef has chef'd last week and has cooked something only he knows the secrets of to get a great win, i expect it to continue
SS - dunoks vs Fogbound Lake: dunoks is kinda silent but deadly, and i'm not really sure how much gogbound cares
SM - cyanize vs Denial: better player and i liked their bring week 1.
ORAS - robjr vs avarice: better venusaur user
BW - Feaniix vs ninjadog: ninja's goated but this is bw so anything can happen, especially since feaniix is also pretty good
BO3 - sensei axew vs mncmt: ryan had one of the most impressive end games i've seen in a while last week, i think he'll win again if he doesn't overcook

Rocky Mountain's Payloaders vs Noble Guardians
SV - Danny vs umbry: highlight of this series with the bo3 game, umbry is also someone i wouldn't bold against unless it was like stresh then i'd probably bold the vs? idk. danny's very good but i think umbry's the better player
SV - Leni vs hariyana grande: loved frankjosh's team last week, and i think he's pretty good
SV - Bouff vs Cielau: i rate bouff higher as a player
SS - BluBirD vs Attribute: attribute's the goat at ss, the man's mastered the gen, blubird's no slouch but i think attribute is a free bold every week from me
SM - Hurtadoo vs Gondra: as long as he doesn't nerf himself with mons like servine and clefairy i think he wins this.
ORAS - Chaitanya vs Piyush25: he practically gave birth to venusaur so that's that
BW - GoldCat vs Lily: um honestly that was a tossup i guess i'll just go with the one that won last week '-'. may the luckiest of the two win.
BO3 - Star vs Punny: again that's pretty much a 50-50, i honestly flipped a coin and star won that coinflip. big highlight

Bulletproof Bombers (6) vs (2) Toxic Chains
SV - blunder vs feen - I think feen is in a good win streak lately, and beating Floss last week was huge. However, blunder is very strong and I don't think he will make the same mistake of using Chansey. Interesting one, but I will favor the player with 4 trophies etc etc etc
SV - tko vs xavgb - better player, nothing much too add here
SV - Skarpherim vs Xiri - I liked their last week's game more, and they beat one of the strongest players in the pool, so I don't think I have any reason to bold xiri here
SS - Meru vs Mac3 - mace lost but he's still p good at this metagame, meru is also good but id say mace is favored in every way
SM - ima vs xXcrossbowXx - I think it will be hard for crossbow to get this one. Not impossible, though
ORAS - Ajna vs eifo - convincing win last week hes the goat etc
BW - lax vs devin - he knows the truth of this metagame
BO3 - Feliburn vs EviGaro - better player, I wouldn't really favor evi in any meta

Iron Fisters (5) vs (3) Crunchwrap Supreme Overlord Juniors
SV - Mana vs hjkhj - better player and hjkhj's game last week was very uninspiring
SV - Master Chief vs hellom - hellom is having a tough schedule so far. Rabbit has way more experience in the tier and is as good as a player than hellom, even though rabbit lost against a weaker opponent. Should be an interesting watch but I will give the edge for the mainer here
SV - atomicllamas vs Kushalos - both are coming from good wins but I think kush is a better player atm
SS - dunoks vs Fogbound Lake - dunoks is good at this tier, lake has little to no experience on it and is coming from a loss so yeah
SM - cyanize vs Denial - tough opp for cyan, could go either way but denial got a nice win last week, should be an interesting game to watch anyway
ORAS - robjr vs avarice - better player and more experienced in the tier, but ava is solid so I can see it going his way too
BW - Feaniix vs ninjadog - better player
BO3 - sensei axew vs mncmt - ryan should be favored in all gens

Rocky Mountain's Payloaders (4) vs (4) Noble Guardians
SV - Danny vs umbry - umbry is umbry
SV - Leni vs hariyana grande - I think the guardians have a p good understanding of the current meta, and hari is coming from a win, so I will bold him
SV - Bouff vs Cielau - I don't know a lot about cielau, I think bouff is the better player
SS - BluBirD vs Attribute - both fire players in this tier but I like blubird's ideas more
SM - Hurtadoo vs Gondra - better player, but hurta can always surprise everyone, so let's see how it goes
ORAS - Chaitanya vs Piyush25 - it's chaitanya in oras ru, idt i need to explain
BW - GoldCat vs Lily - gk is addicted
BO3 - Star vs Punny - Punny is the goat
 
Bulletproof Bombers (4) vs (4) Toxic Chains
SV - blunder vs feen - feen has been on a tear lately with success in both rupl, ssnl, and amongst the dozen other tours he's participating in. personally i didnt really understand team selection from blunder last week, i feel like it was a big step away from the type of builds youd expect from a feli/ajna led core but his play with it was still solid. overall i think its not unbelievable to expect an upset here but i think feen is definitely to be favored
SV - tko vs xavgb - still not super familiar with either of these dudes but im gonna be bolding xavgb here. i think both of these guys are in a similar position after week 1 of working through the motions shaking off the rust and trying to find their footing in the tier which means I think itll come back to the support they can get from their teams in terms of building and testing. in that regard i think the toxic chains are edging out the bombers in terms of support so I will give it to them.
SV - Skarpherim vs Xiri - skarph had a very impressive win over mc last week who i believe is the strongest cg player bar none, he undoubtably had some big luck on his side with the double crit into mc's milo but also pulled out some impressive tech with the fpunch zoro so I'm expecting very promising things this week. i was personally not very inspired by xiris play last week, I thought they were definitely favored matchup wise vs zS but unfortunately could not convert the win, a bit of bad luck also certainly tipped the scales but nothing egregious.
SS - Meru vs Mac3 - both these guys are coming off very very tough week 1 losses. espeically in mac's case as ik he is one of SS's strongest soldiers and its a tier he really enjoys. With that being said I will give it to Mac as someone who i think is still very in touch with SS meta which is bolstered by the Chain's previously mentioned very strong support system.
SM - ima vs xXcrossbowXx - i threw for sure in that week one matchup into ima lol but overall he did a beautiful job navigating the early and middle game and positioning himself facing a disadvantageous matchup. some of the endgame left things to be desired but overall quite a solid job on his part and an impressive must win to secure the tie on the week for his team. on the flip side I wasnt really a big fan of crossbows team, like no bug resist in SM? idk, his dedication to the tier is unquestionable as is the strength of his sm support system tho so I will not be shocked if he does walk with it this week
ORAS - Ajna vs eifo - eifo had a strong showing last week with a statement at least to me his mental was doing fine and he is in rupl form. but this is also ajna and he is showing no type of dropoff sooo yeah
BW - lax vs devin - in my experience as a bw gaming fan, i have learned to never really take predictions in this tier the most serious, they be volatile af lol, everything is one miss, crit, para away from flipping a mu so im going with vibes here heh
BO3 - Feliburn vs EviGaro - unfortunate week 1 from both our fabulous current TLs. however i will give the edge to feli here as he feels a little more in tune with bo3 backed by very impressive showings in lt as well as the throwback cups as well as I think being a somewhat more grounded builder. that being said evi loading some super hot fire could very well be the feli kryptonite, idk it'll be super fun to watch this play out regardless

Tenacious Technicians (5) vs (3) Deranged Hustlers
SV- Floss vs Lime - this'll be a fantastic mu i think, both of these guys have shown great results and brought interesting builds week 1. i think I'll give the edge to lime thus far just because I think he's more comfortable bringing some offmeta stuff to the table which I think is for sure valuable in these types of matchups
SV - zS vs LpZ - i was really impressed with how zS navigated a less than ideal matchup last week and I'm excited to see what he brings to the table this week. lpz is sooo fire tho so idk he could take it, the matchup will be a banger
SV - ishtar vs Thiago Nunes - ishtar played admirably last week and almost clutched out an insane game against stall which i thought had like a thousand 0 mu into her team. i expect to see a strong bounce back this week. tnunes i still believe ur goated but that team was not the hotness. love the rebranding to sqwak overall for hustlers tho
SS - QWILY vs Metallica126 - I'm a big meta believer after seeing what he was doing during LT but I was just really impressed with qwilys showing last week and am eager to see what stuff he brings to the table
SM - odr vs Santu - since i was typing this odr won so uhhh, yeah i had this chalked from that start tho trust :x
ORAS - etern vs DugZa - again im not the most familiar with these players so this'll be alot of vibes lol, i thought that dugza had a really strong performance last week even considering the last minute chungler sub into a very unfamiliar tier. etern had a rough matchup vs eifo last week and is looking to bounce back which very well could happen though
BW - BlazingDark vs Guille - said it before said it again, bw is a gambling mans tier and i personally am not good at gambling lol
BO3 - TheFranklin vs Beraldo - they really had to put two goats up against each other like this. franklin been on a tear in the throwbacks and showed up and showed out week 1. beraldo is gunning for that back to back still though and ik is on the warpath after week 1

Rocky Mountain's Payloaders (5) vs (3) Noble Guardians
SV - Danny vs umbry - umbry had a really nice win over hellom week 1 and it was nice seeing some underutilized stuff like chandy be brought meanwhile danny ran up against a tough contender in lpz. i wasnt super blown away or taken aback by either of these two last week so i look forward to seeing more play from both of them and seeing how they develop
SV - Leni vs hariyana grande - hariyana had a good showing over hjk week 1 which got a little sketchy vs a dd mence but they ultimately navigated it properly to secure the dub. i still havent seen anything from leni on acc of subs so il go with the known option here lol
SV - Bouff vs Cielau - im ngl, bouff did walk with the w week one but it was like heeeeeeella sketch at a lot of points lol. ciel lost in a close one vs kush who got the drop on them with scarf volc. i still have confidence in ciel both building and playwise and look forward to seeing how this mu plays out
SS - BluBirD vs Attribute - blubird is another one of SS's strongest soldiers and ran a NASTY lick with vikavolt week 1. really great stuff ive seen with them and while attribute also had a big w week 1 i feel like blubird deserves the favorite in this slot
SM - Hurtadoo vs Gondra - hurtadoo had a strong week showing and again, is comanning perhaps the most fire named rugl squad in the history of all squad names, and for that, i give the nod lol
ORAS - Chaitanya vs Piyush25 - chait gets the ajna nod of approval for goat status so who am i to say any different lol
BW - GoldCat vs Lily - i am again not much for gambling but i actually do kinda feel confident with gk, theyre just like that
BO3 - Star vs Punny - again not the most familiar with these two but after week one I am definitely seeing what all the hype is about with regards to star specifically. I thought they had a really strong series vs beraldo , really not leaving anything to be desired. punny is obviously also a more than capable player tho so this will be a great one to watch for
