I hope a gen is picked that can result in a tie
Camphrier Town Ladies (1) vs (2) Moomoo Farm Mysterious Sisters
SV: Bouff vs passion - fuckkkkk not the midwesties... i think it will be a beautiful game that goes back and forth as both players are skilled and care about the tournament :). Bolding passion as I trust them and Askov to stonewall any potential BS squad Bouff might try to cheese with.
SM: vivalospride vs Santu - Santu has the comfort of not having to prep for stall, and has brought some neat squads this season. However, SM UU is easily viv's best tier and I think he'll rise up and perform better here compared to some of his SV this season.
ADV: Heysup vs fatty - I believe the last time they faced Heysup won, so I'll give it to fatty this time. They have played each other so many times I doubt he'll be thrown off by a signature Roselia or Altaria. While fatty hasn't been in ADV this season, he has been doing well in the other domain these two excel at (DPP) and surely is eager to keep his own momentum
Celestial Tower Tycoons (1) vs (2) Iki Town Idols
SV: umbry vs Finchinator - Definitely will be an intense match. The Sheet has them at the same record, it's just hard to bold against umbry given how well she has had a pulse on UU. Nat (lol) was also one of Finch's two losses so the Tycoons may get themselves a strong matchup alone again.
SV: Punny vs etern - Both have been running interesting teams in SV and I'm inclined to think that this match will be mostly decided in the builder. Very excited to see what each of them come up with. It's pretty likely that whoever wins this game takes the series imo
ADV: Attribute vs Xrn - I fear Attribute is going to load Lapras thinking it's as good as Suicune (admittingly annoying as shit) and get bullied.. but genuinely Xrn has had a very strong season and is more than capable of executing in high pressure matches.
double tiebreak hype wooooo
