No one has done predicts yet so I will do mine. Only giving explanations for SV because I don't know enough about other gens:

Globogym Purple Cobras (4) vs. Rag-n-Tag Rotoms (8)
SV: Elias PSY vs. zS - zS figures out metagames very fast and I'm sure he will use that to his advantage in this game. Although Elias PSY is a very strong player himself with some cool builds, definitely a highlight game.
SV: Beraldo vs. Bouff - Beraldo has shown expertise of SV in SCL where he played RU and was decent in NUPL, should be enough to get the win.
SV: Kiyo vs. avarice - Has had experience with NU in SCL and with zS support should be much more comfortable in the tier.
SV: Felines vs. feen - feen has played in seasonal and thus more active so they get the bold.
SS: rom1x38 vs. Attribute
SM: poh vs. Meru
ORAS: Chaitanya vs. col49
BW: roxie vs. Aislinn
DPP: vivalospride vs. fatty
ADV: innovamania vs. ima
GSC: Oathkeeper vs. Estarossa
RBY: Suspensse vs. Sirwings

Full Moon Absols (5) vs. Free Snowshrew (7)
SV: Thiago Nunes vs. snaga - Nunes has played NU in SCL to a decent level and is a solid player overall, was also very impressive in NUPL despite it being a much older metagame. snaga put up an average 2-2 in NUPL and one of those wins was against Elias PSY which is impressive, but that's all I have to go off of so Nunes gets the bold.
SV: zeeLitium vs. Dr. Phd. BJ - Just don't know much of the opponent, hope they surprise me.
SV: OranBerryBlissey10 vs. skierdude101- OBB is probably a better player but skierdude has some creative builds that will probably get him the win in BO1, especially in this volatile metagame.
SV: Leni vs. Taka - Leni is a far stronger player but he needs good support and I don't know what the support is, still think he's got it in the bag.
SS: Xiri vs. S1nn0hC0nfirm3d
SM: LpZ vs. ishtar
ORAS: robjr vs. Splash
BW: Finchinator vs. shiloh
DPP: Banbadoro vs. Drud
ADV: gorex vs. Jisoo
GSC: BeeOrSomething vs. dawnbuster
RBY: Teh vs. Sabelette

Best of luck to all.

NU Leader
Globogym Purple Cobras vs. Rag-n-Tag Rotoms
SV: Elias PSY vs. zS (Both can thrive in unsolved chaotic metas but I think zS was showing an impressive level of play throughout SCL that he'll continue to build on here)
SV: Beraldo vs. Bouff
SV: Kiyo vs. avarice (ava is goated but this is a meta tailor-made for kiyo and I think he'll be able to bring some wild sets that could be tilting to face, also feel like Kiyo is coming into this tour with a lot of motivation having finally freed himself from the shackles of oldgens, I cant relate! HL match btw, big fan of both players, could honestly go either way.)
SV: Felines vs. feen
SS: rom1x38 vs. Attribute
SM: poh vs. Meru (Also looking forward to this one, I think poh has been a bit more active in SM recently and Meru might need a week to get back into the groove of things before they start popping off, should be close though and I think it'll come down to the builder rather than one outplaying the other.)
ORAS: Chaitanya vs. col49 (If col actually shows up for this game I will eat my words and bold him every week.)
BW: roxie vs. Aislinn
DPP: vivalospride vs. fatty
ADV: innovamania vs. ima
GSC: Oathkeeper vs. Estarossa (Happy to see Oath playing the game and I know he'll want this win badly, so rooting for him to do well this tour despite him declining to manage without warning.)

Full Moon Absols vs. Free Snowshrew
SV: Thiago Nunes vs. snaga (the goat of solving metas)
SV: zeeLitium vs. Dr. Phd. BJ (dr bj dr pj dr bj dr pj)
SV: OranBerryBlissey10 vs. skierdude101 (I think skie has more experience in SV to date, but OBB has more experience in tournaments, could go either way but leaning towards skie because he'll have better building support.)
SV: Leni vs. Taka
SS: Xiri vs. S1nn0hC0nfirm3d (ho3n just set scl on fire and is in god mode, he's not about to start losing in the woat tier in existence which he also happens to dominate in.)
SM: LpZ vs. ishtar (Dont Schedule for Sunday LpZ.)
ORAS: robjr vs. Splash
BW: Finchinator vs. shiloh (godinator is the goat and can easily win this but joojoo is 20-3 in BW NU in his last 4 tours after I showed him how good nature power shiftry is.)
DPP: Banbadoro vs. Drud
ADV: gorex vs. Jisoo
GSC: BeeOrSomething vs. dawnbuster (Bee is the new ceo of GSC, he knows it inside and out and has clearly been grinding it hard for a while now, so he's my pick)

Rabiascas (6) vs. Dappled Decidueyes (6)
SV: Danny vs. DugZa
SV: Phantomistix vs. Floss
SV: Ac1D_13 vs. outbackrabbit
SV: The Strap vs. mncmt
SS: Pokeslice vs. Lilo slice is lucky and bad and his luck will run out
SM: etern vs. 3d etern do be goated and he was talking up how flames his teams would be this tour, imtaking his word for it but lets be honest he could win with druddfey every week
ORAS: SEA vs. quziel i think quziel solved 1 or 2 team archetypes over the last 6 months and despite his activity concerns i dont think rust hus accumulated on quziel in over 3 years. Im interested so see how aggressively sea and team decide to prep for quz’s tendencies, this could do either way.
BW: Bughouse vs. watashi wont be a clean win, im predicting a late game blizzard freeze or critical hit to seal it for the bugresidence
DPP: Monai vs. Heysup hl for me, should be fun
ADV: Stockings vs. Colteor
GSC: Medeia vs. Real FV13 real fv bestplayer in the field doesnt matter the tier
RBY: nicole7735 vs. Tree69420 wish i could pick a user without numbers in their name but here we are

Full Moon Absols (7) vs. Free Snowshrew (5)
SV: Thiago Nunes vs. snaga
SV: zeeLitium vs. Dr. Phd. BJ
SV: OranBerryBlissey10 vs. skierdude101
SV: Leni vs. Taka
SS: Xiri vs. S1nn0hC0nfirm3d whichever player brings the more creative team wins, this meta ain't half as solved as ppl think it is y’all are just boring
SM: LpZ vs. ishtar could go either way
ORAS: robjr vs. Splash in convincing fashion
BW: Finchinator vs. shiloh apparently shitloh doesnt lose in bw
DPP: Banbadoro vs. Drud
ADV: gorex vs. Jisoo should be a hl
GSC: BeeOrSomething vs. dawnbuster dawnbusted
RBY: Teh vs. Sabelette picking teh because of the frequency at which I accidentally spell ‘the’ as ‘teh’

sv is all coinflips lets be honest at least half of us are gonna get fucked by matchup
