84% correct on my predictions. not going to bother to dive into dotabuffs of games until about week 4 or 5 when reffing has slowed down so here we go.  the ones i got incorrect were;
smack vs cesario: i predicted a smack 2-0 and they went 1-1.
rabbi vs ion: i predicted a 2-0 for rabbi believing rabbi wasn't absolute garbage in the off lane. i was proven wrong.
amane vs doomcow: ??? idk what the fuck happened here. predicted 2-0 for kidz boppers they 1-1???
potato vs h: 1-1 instead of the 0-1 i had for h. i dont even remember who's on H's team so that proves how much i've researched.
crap vs inquis: coinflip again i predict 1-1 crap goes 2-0 what a god...
bloodnibba vs [r]e[d]ground: i predict 1-1... 0-2 for red ground idk what blood's doing.

THIS WEEK(not really in any sort of order lmao sorry):
as i was almost 100% correct on my predictions you can imagine most of these arent going to change. so im only providing comments on the ones that did change.
Solid:
Danny, Smack, Ripley, Amane, Korea Claire, Waifu, Ploopy07, GSKW
GSKW: So looking at this team I was unsure, and they crushed a team i predicted would be absolute dog shit. Putting them in solid doesn't exactly feel right, but I think they'll be here the rest of the season. Torn is a wild animal and cannot be put down by anyone but his own father. Gachi safe lane is still kind of suspect but I believe this team will be a playoff lock.
as the jury will still be out on some teams, that will be the only team i'm adding to the solid tier. more tiers will be added as the season goes on.
mid: crap, redground, big fella, polo, lillith, noah, mantis, inquisitor, cesario, ion(i actually can't find you on last weeks rankings im sorry), bloodninja
Ion: idk where you were on last weeks rankings but you smoked a team i predicted would be solid because of atran. more comments on this below
bloodninja: dropped because i expected the new eladerboard player to get at least one win. he didnt.
trash tier: rb, skaterx7, doomcow33, rabbi, potato farmer
potato farmer: i think ill be moving the spud up next week if he 1-1 or 2-0s, i think he can carry this somehow
rabbi: rabbi offlane is way too heavy for atran to carry. unless he shapes up they'll be a bottom tier team the rest of the season.
UNSURE: these teams are still here because this is the only way i can properly rank them.
sasq, clare, happyhobo, bruni
so to comment on this, i believe sasq's team will be moving into mid or solid tier soon. i jsut don't know if they fluked with an easy match up week one. clare went 0-2 to what i consider one of the best teams in the division so i dont want to rank them anywhere yet.

Tree first round: 2-0 over skater still gives them their own tier. thats all

WEEK 2 PREDICTIONS:
https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/349994269064298498/448562179306815508/image.jpg here are the half ass ones i did at work. after looking and some thought (rare) these are my true predictions.
Sasquatch vs Redground: this is the real proving ground for the natnap first round team. both teams coming off a 2-0 one with an easier match up in week one than the other. i would like to see me friendos pull out a 2-0 but i think redground and his band of [RD] goons will pull out at least one win. 1-1
Ripley vs Noah: ultra is currently in mexico. i believe he will be slightly rusty coming back so i am going to give this a 1-1 strictly becasue they seem to struggle drafting for fiery and ultra will have to shed some rust.
polo vs truckwaffle: 2-0 polo. et chance polo will prove too much for the small brained truckwaffle to overcome.
GSKW vs Amane: my son against my friends... i don't know why i predicted 2-0 amane at work. i think amane's team still has some kinks to work out and won't be able to handle torn. they might be able to pull out a win though. 1-1
ion vs crap: i don't really know what will happen so in order to have a good chance at getting it right im sticking with a 1-1.
danny vs inquisitor: total stomp for danny who the fuck will stop tswift LMFAO 2-0
bofu vs big fella: 109 vs luke is a super good match up. satan is probably a worse carry than smack. i know my drawing says 2-0 but i really think it'll be 1-1 based off the two core match ups i mentioned.
weeb lord vs ploopy: i think this is a 1-1 strictly based off ferris's good looks and dad jokes and waifu will absolutely solo carry a game. ploopy and benny boy will stomp the other one though.
cesario vs gofu: ellen pudge is a hot teacher who will dominate cesario's team into oblivion. 0-2
potato farmer vs doomcow: tbh 2-0 potato because murs is washed up and fulcrums econd pick :xd:
korea claire vs H: i think 2-0 for korea claire. assuming waves can afford cigarettes they will 2-0.
clare vs the mantis: i think clare will get his shit together and win 2-0 this week. they really need the bounceback week and it would be embarrassing for him to go 1-3 or 0-4.
rabbi vs rb: fuck man this si actually supe rhard to call. well not really, atran will destroy middle. 659 will probably free farm. i wanna say 1-1 because 659 with free farm is kinda terrifying, but atran with a free lane? it's tough to say.
skaterx7 vs happyhobo: so i think skater ... has a good match up here against one of the weaker teams in the league. assuming he gets the space he needs, burrahobbit gets a hero he's comfortable on and procarbine does the usual they should be able to 2-0. im going to have some faith in skater here and call it a 2-0 for them. pls don't prove me wrong
bruni vs bloodninja: so this should be a 2-0 for bloodninja cuz fuck bruni i dont like that guy
