you know what time it is

i need no introduction

lfgi

Sjneiders Sneasels (5) vs The Vibrant Vivillons (2)
SS NU: Sjneider vs Expulso sjneider is a better player
SS NU: Jrdn vs gorex perhaps the name gorex being so similar to Gondra is why I always call against him
USUM NU: yeezyknows vs Gefährlicher Random yo... this man KNOWS
ORAS NU: Skelos vs Eternally only way Skelos wins is by tilting eternally by being hard to schedule with
BW NU: Insult vs rozes rozes in a tier older than ORAS? perdemos
DPP NU: brewfasa vs DnB I know who brewfasa is, whereas I do not know who DnB is
ADV NU: Triangles vs Hogg triangles has been better than expected but I trust hogg more here
Bo3: ict vs Star i do not want to vote for either of these players

The Moneymaker Musharnas (4) vs The Pablo Zolts (4)
SS NU: ggggd vs snaga pablo
SS NU: Real FV13 vs TDK not rly sure who real fv is so im just going with the name i recognize lol
USUM NU: quziel vs Santu i trust quz to randomly matchup santu with something he didnt know was a possibility
ORAS NU: Luck O' the Irish vs lax yes.
BW NU: Raseri vs SPACE FORCE meeps meeps has looked better so far? idk man ras almost got mono psychicd :[
DPP NU: Heysup vs ima heysup can be 0-6 at week 7 and i will still predict him to win.
ADV NU: neomon vs Earthworm thief arbok won last week so honestly anything is possible from neomon at this point
Bo3: Feliburn vs FLCL fooly is better + has better oras knowledge than feli imo

The Pile of Swines (3) vs The Sacred Samurotts (5)
SS NU: Ajna vs Tricking i will not predict the random ru player ever.
SS NU: Gondra vs Averardo except here because he's against Gondra who is an established no predict.
USUM NU: Eternal Spirit vs blarghlfarghl read: no random ruer rule
ORAS NU: Jarii vs Ren-chon just don't bring weak to teddeh balance and you will win.
BW NU: HSA vs HJAD hsa has been better than expected but i think hjad is strictly a better bwer
DPP NU: crayon pop vs Bughouse lol
ADV NU: Kushalos vs Watchog i think kush is 1000% the better overall player but the man brought lead diglett last week LMAO
Bo3: Garay oak vs Osh slightly leaning garay but should be overall close

I should be studying but fuc it

Sjneiders Sneasels (7) vs The Vibrant Vivillons (1)
SS NU: Sjneider 65 vs 35 Expulso - expulso is my cpl protege but neider definitely knows what to abuse in this tier so ima have to give it to the guy who copies my shtick...
SS NU: Jrdn 70 vs 30 gorex - jrdn plays WACK but collected dubs in nu in snake and coronapl so I think he'll beat the other guy who has no ss nu experience to my knowledge
USUM NU: yeezyknows 55 vs 45 Gefährlicher Random - ah... yeezus the innovation god, I think the random is actually pretty solid tho I remember him beating godmen with a beedrill the innovated venusaur counter back in the early sm days. this'll be a close match and whoever brings the better techs will pull through but I'm going with yeezus
ORAS NU: Skelos 49 vs 51 Eternally - skelos is actually goated in oras nu but eternally has finally started winning pokemon games and he's very solid at oras nu
BW NU: Insult 51 vs 49 rozes - rozes bad meme
DPP NU: brewfasa 60 vs 40 DnB - idk DnB at all but fatty is really good at the crustgen lower tiers
ADV NU: Triangles 60 vs 45 4Hogg - triangles is AMAZING at adv ou and he absolutely farmed adv nu in coronapl, the highest basis of skill display. he was bought as an absolute steal tho wtf if I didn't want the pirate triangles was an easy buy for top adv nu record
Bo3: ict 55 vs 45 Star - ict has way more experience playing ss and sm nu but star is a better player overall. in lower tiers tho, more skill doesn't necessarily equate to more wins cuz there are many random ass mons and techs that could show up, 10 bucks star runs into a rapidash galar and mistakes it for its lc non-fairy form

seems kind of one-sided at first cuz the sneasels have a strong as fuck team wtf


The Moneymaker Musharnas (2) vs The Pablo Zolts (6)
SS NU: ggggd 99 vs 2 snaga - I can't see myself ever predicting snaga to win. he is also vs our namesake, the stolen pablo sand. no way he loses after I "snaked" him fuck u raseri
SS NU: Real FV13 40 vs 60 TDK - tdk hardly ever wins in pokemon but when he brings god teams and techs he will, he's a better player than real fv overall as long as I make sure he isn't 6-0d by a single mon like many of my ss teams are
USUM NU: quziel 45 vs 55 Santu - quziel is my long time meme tech testing partner and I think he's a lot better than most people would expect because he doesn't really join a lot of tournaments. that being said, santu is god at abusing the brokens in sm nu and I think he'll keep a winning streak
ORAS NU: Luck O' the Irish 49 vs 51 lax - I remember luck o from my first nupl when I was on the raseris (fun tour btw) he was solid I think. I'm also dogshit at oras and don't know how to build this tier so I'll finally start losing when people realize I recycle my last year teams
BW NU: Raseri 2 vs 93 SPACE FORCE meeps - I have never seen SPACE FORCE meeps lose a (non-hax) game in his life.
DPP NU: Heysup 99 vs 1 ima - I might have to sub ima out here because he's never beaten heysup in his DPP NU career, heysup is a crustgen lower tier extraordinaire and I have no doubt that he will defeat ima
ADV NU: neomon 40 vs 60 Earthworm - the godworm always starts out 0-2 then smashes everybody like in cpl (the basis of high competitive pokemon play)
Bo3: Feliburn 40 vs 60 FLCL - fooly is more versed in nu overall, oras is a bad tier though so he may be able to win there and then it'll come down to ss

this could be the worst series of the entire tournament

The Clefairy Coalition (3) vs The Krusty Krabs (5)
SS NU: TonyFlygon 45 vs 55 Adaam - chadaam... how can I ever predict against the man that ended my lower tier career in grand slam ixv... tony has been keeping up with ss lower tiers though so he is no slouch
SS NU: Enzo Gorlami 45 vs 55 Ho3nConfirm3d - I remember raging against this guy on ladder once cuz he haxed me but he builds fire techs and I think gunner is poopoo smelly
USUM NU: robjr 51 vs 49 Jytcampbell - rob is a stronger overall player but jyt played a lot more sm nu than him, comes down to teams but I have not been liking jyt's fat teams at all lately. use something more offensive bro
ORAS NU: qsns 45 vs 55 honchkrow - qsns is a fellow ruiner champion god and even a 2 time so he's obviously very solid, but I think tennis will win, u just need to bring out some fire techs bro I remember my first interactions with u were you building spicy oras and sm nu teams... do it to em
BW NU: Chill Shadow 5 vs 95 bugzinator - the goat
DPP NU: Sinkyr 55 vs 45 Staxi - sinkyr is one of the most wholesome users on this site with his matching profile pics and same-time sign-up posts. he also farms the crustgen lower tiers so I think he'll continue to bring wins
ADV NU: Disjunction 45 vs 55 M Dragon - disj is strong at adv nu but dad dragon has been playing this tier since we were all in our diapers... edging towards the big man
Bo3: soulgazer 51 vs 49 Finchinator - idk how much sg cares but he plays like a madman like in his last bo3 set, I think he's the exact person that would knock finch off guard, SM - Finch ORAS - SG SS - the dealbreaker. sg has kept up with ss ou, but I dunno about ss nu. finch brings the same thing in ss nu so he just needs to be tech'd out

a lot of close matchups so I see this going either way TBH


The Pile of Swines (4) vs The Sacred Samurotts (4)
SS NU: Ajna 45 vs 55 Tricking - fuck you for taking rajna from me but tricking is god and fire at lower tiers
SS NU: Gondra 60 vs 40 Averardo - as long as avacado doesn't bring back his cpl performance he should perform alright. I thought gondra was goated from his wcop run but then he turned it up even more during spl, he's insanely good
USUM NU: Eternal Spirit 55 vs 56 blarghlfarghl - LOooooooooooooooooooooooooool blarghFARGHl lo0l the only winners of this game are the spectators
ORAS NU: Jarii 45 vs 55 Ren-chon - I see ren chon as more of an SM nu player but I think he's more solid than jarii overall, close game though because jarii is a teambuilding genius (kind of) and knows the tier more
BW NU: HSA 51 vs 49 HJAD - hjad may be amazing at bw nu but hsa is indian
DPP NU: crayon pop 60 vs 40 Bughouse - crayong pop is really osgood at dpp
ADV NU: Kushalos 51 vs 49 Watchog - watchog has been popping off in cpl so he is no slouch. I can never root against the chef though but I can see watchog pulling through. rly close one
Bo3: Garay oak 49 vs 51 Osh - not certain about this one, but I think osh takes it in SM NU cuz he farms that tier, garay takes ORAS, and it comes down to SS. once again, whoever brings the better techs will win

close series that could go either way, really comes down to blaghlfargl vs the magician lmfaooooo

let's see some cool teams this week!
 

Sjneider

swag to the yolo
is a Tiering Contributoris a defending SCL Champion
The Moneymaker Musharnas vs The Pablo Zolts

SS NU: ggggd vs snaga - I think this game will actually be a lot closer than many people expect, prob closest of this series tbh. Snaga brings good teams and actually plays ss, pablos play is refined so this should be a good one.

SS NU: Real FV13 vs TDK - Tdk's teams are insane crack but like it worked so i cant hate. i mean drakloak is still most definitely unviable but i think just overall tdk is a better player so he should take this one.

USUM NU: quziel vs Santu - Santu just uses really solid teams and pilots them decently enough. I think quziel's play is fine, nice offensive team choice that im a fan of but the difference in tour experience can definitely be a factor in this i think.

Bo3: Feliburn vs FLCL - Flcl's gonna be favored here vs almost like everyone lmao so like ya. i think feli's knowledge of the ss metagame is probs better, not sure how much ss flcl has played but fooly's been piping up lately and his aggressive play should net him sm and oras.



The Clefairy Coalition vs The Krusty Krabs

SS NU: TonyFlygon vs Adaam - Upset pick but I think Tony brings well rounded teams w p creative twists like the spower pilo. I think both of these players' plays are really strong. I would say Adaam has a bit more outplaying potential but with the new and constantly evolving meta, i think teambuilding is a much bigger factor here.

SS NU: Enzo Gorlami vs Ho3nConfirm3d - Ho3n's play is no slouch and i think his teambuilding is even better. He would prob farm someone who doesnt know the meta well. HOWEVER, he is playing gunner who is in touch with the meta and i think plays a bit better

USUM NU: robjr vs Jytcampbell - Ah yes, another one of my picks taken from me. Jyt plays SM nu really well imo and brings eh could be better teams tbh, too fat and passive for my liking. Rob's style is ok too but i really cannot fw the teams ive seen him bring so Im giving jyt the edge here.

Bo3: soulgazer vs Finchinator - SG is INSANE. i think his series vs ict was one of the best ive seen so far from this tournament. having said that tho, i think Finch is very in touch with the SS metagame atm and should take this v comfortably. I think SG played the oras game phenomenally and can def outplay and grab the w in oras. so sm should be the decider and i think finch just edges him in this one bc of strong balance/bo teams and just overall solid play.


The Pile of Swines (4) vs The Sacred Samurotts (4)

SS NU: Ajna vs Tricking - think skill-wise, pretty tight between these two. both plays aggressive so i think itll come down to tricking's techs. so far trickings been bringing more niche stuff for sure like that cursed butterfree and i think that might catch ajna off guard.

SS NU: Gondra vs Averardo - Gondra is the better player for sure but I really have not been a fan of the teams hes been bringing. ave also has been playing more ss i think, which is a lot more important than people realize, and should abuse the brokens.

USUM NU: Eternal Spirit vs blarghlfarghl - My protege... the NUfarghl. also fuck u osh for this <3 but this ones definitely for the fans. gama vs farghl the clickfest will never disappoint.

Bo3: Garay oak vs Osh - 2 good players. I think Garay just knows ORAS better so he should take that one comfortably. I wanna say they are pretty even when it comes to SM, I have pwnd and been pwnd by both of them so. I do think that osh's builds kinda matches up nicely vs a lot of the stuff i see garay uses tho and osh also does have a tendency to farm mainers in sm. SS is gonna be close for sure as both of them build and play the tier im p sure but Im leaning garay just cuz i do like the stuff ive seen from garay a little more. Closest Bo3, a must-watch if u enjoy NU, and probs series-decider.
