swag to the yolo
is a Tiering Contributoris a defending SCL Champion
My first predicts for anything ever, just gonna do SM cuz that’s what I know

Osh vs Lopunny Kicks – I think this is probably the closest mu in the series despite what others may think. Osh is no stranger to NU obviously having started in all officials involving this tier iirc. However, I think Punny’s aggressive high risk high reward playstyle combined with Elodin support matches up quite well vs Osh’s more safe and calculated route, which is why I am predicting what I’d consider an upset.

Snou vs EviGaro– Snou’s just been on a tear in NU, whether its 6-1 vs a good group of players going into semis in NUPL and some other tours I’ve seen him in. Think he’s got a really solid understanding of the metagame and can also be very creative with his builds. Im really hoping for a stunfisk or something of sorts from our Italian friend over here.

Lax vs Lycans – I mean Lax is the best NUer in the game rn imo not to mention just a top player in general. Having said that, Lycans is no slouch though and he can definitely hold his own against a lot of good players. However, I feel that the sheer aidsness of having to play against Lax’s mono-tect 6 will just be too much for Lycans to overcome.

TDK vs Santu- oml a Pack mu. Both good players but I’m gonna give the edge to TDK just because he’s more involved within the tier and I think his game-planning ability is second to none. I feel like Santu’s just gonna bring standard, which is where it might cost him bc TDK has some of the most unholy techs that have yet to be unleashed and when they hit, they rly do hit.

Good luck to everyone in playoffs and may the non-plume wielders win!
