i know literally nothing about anyone or any of these metas so here are my random guesses
 
Predictions.
Tropius Incorporated (3) vs (5) Slugma Haxballs
Megas for All OU: Tempo di anguria vs dex
Hoenn Gaiden OU: violet river vs goldmason
Fusion Evolution SV OU: Orangesodapop vs Zpice
Fakemon Frontier OU: BloodAce vs Copen
Megas Revisited OU: Exotic64 vs tier
Multiverse OU: Mimilucha vs TDNT
Vaporemons OU: Fragments vs Nashrock
Teramax OU: Irene vs Baddy

Comment: I don't know Tempo di anguria, but I know dex has some experiences from last pmpl. This should give them a initial, good advantage. The rest is just a wild guess as I'm not familiar with most of these players and their skill levels in their respective formats.

Fast and Furret (3) vs (5) Dave's Dachsbuns
Megas for All OU: TPP vs hidin
Hoenn Gaiden OU: LustfulLice vs SEA
Fusion Evolution SV OU: Lasen vs clean
Fakemon Frontier OU: TTTech vs Monai
Megas Revisited OU: Tanny89k vs hellom
Multiverse OU: Rei vs Lostmemories
Vaporemons OU: HydreigonTheChild vs Xrn
Teramax OU: RoFnA vs scionicle

Comment: Huh, I don't think I've ever seen TPP and hidin playing M4A OU in a tournament. This should be fairly interesting because of how they might approach teambuilding and how different that might be from the typical stuff you would normally see in M4A OU. I'm a little bit more aware of TPP's skills due to personal experiences, so, I'm inclined to favour them. SEA, Lasen, Monai, and Xrn--I already know, and I expect to see some good or even remarkable tournament performances for some of them. As for the rest, I don't know most of these players. So, it's a wild guess.

Hoenn Gaiden OU: TyCarter vs xXBootyPopperXx
Fusion Evolution SV OU: anaconja vs earl

Multiverse OU: Runo vs feen
Vaporemons OU: Beaf Cultist vs Baloor
Teramax OU: Clas vs Tack

Comment: M4A OU seems pretty interesting in this match; I'm looking forward to seeing what kind of team a Doubles player will come up with against someone like IsoCon. Not much to say about the rest of the players; I'm familiar with most of them and wouldn't be surprised if they were to win, and the few rest is just a wild.
 
Lets get it.
Tropius Incorporated vs Slugma Haxballs
Fusion Evolution SV OU: Orangesodapop vs Zpice - My goals are beyond your understanding.

Fast and Furret (3) vs (5) Dave's Dachsbuns
Megas for All OU: TPP vs hidin - One of these guys is gonna load the rain sample I just know it.
Hoenn Gaiden OU: LustfulLice vs SEA - Not know enough about lustful lice, but SEA is probably top 3 strongest players in the pool.
Fusion Evolution SV OU: Lasen vs clean - The daves are the only players who have played FE before, even if the enviroment has changed.
Fakemon Frontier OU: TTTech vs Monai - Good matchup. Both strong but Monai has a goat run in restrinct.
Megas Revisited OU: Tanny89k vs hellom - Tanny has metagame knowledge but the meta isn't hard to learn and hellom looks like the classic "Pet mods player that becomes the strongest in the tournament then gets permabanned" archetype.
Multiverse OU: Rei vs Lostmemories - Rei won't have the option to use their kill token im afraid.
Vaporemons OU: HydreigonTheChild vs Xrn - Peak matchup. As strong as Xrn was in joltemons, Hydreigon has put the most hours into the tier and is generally a good player.
Teramax OU: RoFnA vs scionicle -Don't know any of these guys, Furrets at least get tanny support.

Gensokyo Gourgeists (4) vs (3) Close Combat Comrades
Megas for All OU: Smudge vs IsoCon - If they play past Isocon's bedtime he is cooked. Otherwise giving it to him.
Hoenn Gaiden OU: TyCarter vs xXBootyPopperXx - Comrades have the better HG support.
Fusion Evolution SV OU: anaconja vs earl - Conja isn't cursed I think.
Fakemon Frontier OU: zxgzxg vs Mossy Sandwich - Peak vs Peak. Refuse to pick a winner out of two goats.
Megas Revisited OU: 1yr vs bynum -I only know bynum, even though its weird he is going for rev.
Multiverse OU: Runo vs feen - Runo had a goat run in solopl for my team, going with him.
Vaporemons OU: Beaf Cultist vs Baloor - Baloor is strong as hell, but we all know that Beaf puts hours into all sylvemons tiers.
Teramax OU: Clas vs Tack - Strong players all around, Clas has carried his pet mods team in the past so going with him.
 
Tropius Incorporated (2) vs (5) Slugma Haxballs
Megas for All OU: Tempo di anguria vs dex - PMPL newbie vs PMPL legend. easy pick
Hoenn Gaiden OU: violet river vs goldmason - both of these guys do actually play ADV, but i'm gonna give goldmason the edge here
Fusion Evolution SV OU: Orangesodapop vs Zpice - neither one of these guys have touched the tier before, but osp has better support and also beat copen in mg1 and therefore must go 7-0 here.
Fakemon Frontier OU: BloodAce vs Copen - im a hater
Megas Revisited OU: Exotic64 vs tier - tier is goated
Multiverse OU: Mimilucha vs TDNT - kind of a toss-up cause neither of these guys know the tier. in a vacuum i'd say TDNT (and i'll go with them here so i only have one unknown per team), but once again tropius has better support which might give them the edge here.
Vaporemons OU: Fragments vs Nashrock - both are newbies but nashrock is goated
Teramax OU: Irene vs Baddy - two very strong players in a wacky new meta. both players seem equally matched so this could really go either way, but one thing i can say for sure is that this match will set the stage for how teramax will play out in this tour.

Fast and Furret (3) vs (5) Dave's Dachsbuns
Megas for All OU: TPP vs hidin - crazy matchup - the player quality this year is honestly through the roof. gonna give this one to TPP cause hidin has historically underperformed in PMPL
Hoenn Gaiden OU: LustfulLice vs SEA - i don't see SEA dropping a game this year (except against gourgs ofc)
Fusion Evolution SV OU: Lasen vs clean - this game will be funny. gonna give it to clean cause i like their playstyle
Fakemon Frontier OU: TTTech vs Monai - the streets are saying monai is goated
Megas Revisited OU: Tanny89k vs hellom - Pet Modder vs Goated Player. this match is gonna be fun, I think tanny can def pull through with good prep, but I'm not sure if their team can provide that so I gotta go with hellom here
Multiverse OU: Rei vs Lostmemories - idrk either of these guys but i'll go Lostmemories off of vibes
Vaporemons OU: HydreigonTheChild vs Xrn - Hydrei gotta go X-0 to prove me right
Teramax OU: RoFnA vs scionicle - both of these guys are unknowns but i think RoFnA will pull through here

Turn 7...

+1 252 SpA Heatran Magma Storm vs. 244 HP / 252+ SpD Gliscor: 211-250 (59.9 - 71%) -- guaranteed 2HKO after Poison Heal and trapping damage
(+1 represents binding band)

Collusion between beaf and baloor? As frustrating as turn 7 was this was an interesting game of how good gliscor does into non zone teams... which btw a magnezone wouldve taken a shit on baloor's team by walling not only gliscor but also fez and slowking-g.

This was also interesting in showcasing fez shitting on non zone spinners as hazardous waste does a shit load amount of dmg against anything in this hazard stack war as shown when it just nuked the crap out of iron moth (lol)

also heatran was going to put in massive work
