GENTLEMAN, THIS IS DEMOCRACY MANIFEST
is a Community Contributoris a Tiering Contributoris a Contributor to Smogon
note: im far more familiar with the ss & sm pool and will be basing the remainder of the oldgens primarily off manager support & playing ability.

:cherrim-sunshine: vs :butterfree:
tuthur's priorities heading into this year's zupl draft seemed to be 1. get the frenchmen 2. make playoffs. virtually nobody on this team has ever touched zu, including absolutely everyone on the bench so the builds wont be coming from there; i hope the sakuras picked up bossaru on his offer as it's their best shot at receiving at least one good ss and sm team every week. this isnt to say the sakura dont have good pilots, but every other team has better ones, on average, and one of the 8 teams has to come last. with no proven support and no particularly stand-out players i expect this team to lose 3 of the 5 ss/sm games every week minium. drud, in sharp contrast, manages a team that could very well place 2nd in this tour with a strong combination of high-level players and zu alumni. in my mind the success of this team hinges on how well drud understands the current ss zu meta, and on how much jett truly cares about this tour after hanging on the cusp of burnout for what seems like years at this point. most of the team appears to be self sufficient, but there are definite gaps here that could result in a result as disappointing as last year when a similarly strong looking team (yeah im biased) ended 5th place in a 6 team tournament. butterfrees to win 7-1

:morpeko: vs :oricorio:
while i could be way off, it seems to me that morpeekaboos drafted one of the best oldgen lineups available, particularly for oras and below. they managed to do this without sacrificing much of their ss core either, though with two reliable builders managing i don't think this should be much of a shock. this is going to be strong competition for the flamencos w1 but i am confident we will pull through.
flamencos to win 8-0 :swole:

:stunky: vs :beheeyem:
ho3n forgot you need to win 5 games a week and spent all of his money on 4 players, with him being one of them. quagg and evi are a doubtlessly strong sm core especially if ho3n decides to exist, but ss is dead in the water with, as far as i can tell, terreitor being the only one with any ss familiarity other than ho3n himself (who in my experience has 0 presence in team chats) so unless tj and lice pick up the tier fast or someone else like quagg/gglrg step up as ss support i reckon terreitor is going to burn out before playoffs, and that's if the team even makes it that far. beheeyems on the other hand may just be the easiest team to predict in the tour, with an array of consistently ok builders and consistently ok players. a lack of procrastinasian in the ss lineup is odd to me, but maybe he's unavailable this first week, or maybe the team knows something i don't. i don't think there will be any huge losing streaks in this team, but i also don't expect any of these players to pop off. i hope they can prove me wrong. 4-4 tie.

:trevenant: vs :shiinotic:
i like the trevs a lot; strong pilots, good builders across the board as long as fruits can stay motivated, and some underdog potential i expect to see brought out as the tour goes on. beauts in particular always starts team tours saying "gee i wont have much time spare..." only to have 80+ teams built by the time playoffs participants are decided, but they're also part of multiple councils and qc teams now so maybe not this year? i believe the teams chances of making playoffs comes down to how effectively they can exploit their opponents' draft; while they may have above average players in every slot i dont think they have the near-guaranteed winning slot that i think the other top 4 teams do. that wont be much of a problem this week though because they outclass the shiinotics in every single tier. much like the beheeyems, the shiinotics seem to coast on adequacy. 0 players in my mind are capable of putting out consistently strong performances, aside from lpy,,, but the guy inadvertantly CTs me in every sm tour we meet so there's a solid chance im overrating him.
