Usage Stats and Replays​

• Follow all rules listed here.
• Schedule via Smogon VMs. It's easier for us to make decisions for activity calls when I can actually see what went down with scheduling.
• If you are unable to schedule with your opponent, please let your managers know ASAP. Managers, please ping the opposing team's pingable role to inform them.
• Substitutions may be made after a week has started. When making a substitution, please tag myself, the managers of the opposing team, and all of the players affected by the substitute to ensure that everyone is made aware. Players who have already played in the week or were subbed out in the same week cannot be subbed back in.
• If a match remains incomplete by the time of the deadline, it will be subject to an activity call.
• Replays are mandatory. Not only are they useful for confirming wins, but they also contribute to usage stats and allow the people who couldn't watch the games live to watch them later.

Metallica126 Where is the match SM:Metallica126 vs lza I want to see the most, and where is my favorite player Lza?Why didn't you pick ADV last week?
I am lza goons,u can attack me now

we did not pick adv last week because it is Bad and none of our players want to play it, i had to put chungler in a saw trap-esque situation to get him to do it

SV: Nat vs Taka

Cool pairings. The ORAS game between Feli and DugZa is a highlight fs. Think a lot of the mu are close and could go either way.

Magic Guardians (3) vs (7) Zui Zoruas
SV: Evie vs Hacker
SV: Sabella vs Ampha
SV: Ac1D vs Drud
SV: hi.naming is hard vs MemphisDepay
SM: Leni vs xXcrossbowXx

SS: sol vs The Strap
SM: TyCarter vs Dugtrio Is Broken
ADV: Sneakyplanner vs Heysup
I don't believe it will be 3-7. Lots of the mu are close and I can see some upsets as well.

Gooooo Virizions

 

[Ming549]

Rising Sandstorm (4) vs (6) 20/20 Virizion
SV: Daharan vs feen - feen has long proclaimed himself as the french kryptonite and his evergoing crusade against the frenchies has been well documented, we will see if daharan can vanquish the scourge of his countrymen
SV: Paprikaflow vs Hoops - been kinda an up and down szn for both these guys esp since both lost last week, but going with hoops since he brought one of the worst kilowattrel sets of all time that ALMOST won with some better charge beam luck and paprika decided a t4 tghost with choiced houndstone vs a hippowdon/cyclizar team was somehow worthwhile
SV: musashi109 vs seed - 1/2 of the last undefeated SVs left in this tour and coming off absolute domination last week matching up vs musashi who should not be slept on with the metallica buff but cmon, yallready know the drill, tis the season
SV: Kitoothe vs DripLegend - another one where both guys lost last week, but ive liked how kitoothe has been moving more this szn and hes had a bit more consistent results so will go with him
ORAS: lighthouses vs NoName6293 - the extra experience in oras means a lot and diogo DEFINITELY has the edge on experience as well as just playing more games this szn so feel like he def deserves the bold
BW: Guille vs Txunt! - up and down szn for both these guys, both coming off wins last week, i think txunt is gonna take schooling old man feli in stride and carry momentum to another w, guille did bring disgusting stall tho so yknow... hard to say what happens lol
ADV: THE_CHUNGLER vs FastCarVroom!!! - yeah im ngl taking undefeated vroom OUT of bw is honestly insane, like yeah yall need two ppl to tango in adv this week but hes UNDEFEATED IN BW, its chungler on principle who has also had an incredible szn and put on a clinic last week in adv
SS: Metallica126 vs C0nfiden1 0yster - this the highlight of the entire week idgaf if its ss, ppl need to learn to appreciate ss for what it is, metallica is putting on an mvp performance for the tour overall flexing into 1000 tiers and staying undefeated while 0yster has stuck true to his guns in SS and ALSO remained undefeated, i like seeing the metallica storyline continue so will give him the bold but realistically this is SO tough to call...
ORAS: dragonitenb vs Horii - i have exactly 0 idea what dnitenbs experience with oras is if anything at all so will go with horrii who I have personally worked with a couple times before and have seen put up pretty respectable results
ADV: Hubriz vs DD Joe - off the back of dd joe just getting more reps in the tier im going with him as the bold, hubriz has been on the bench since his L to muks w1 and the sandstorms look like theyve kinda just been trying to dodge adv in general since

Tsareena Bisexual Divas (5) vs (5) The Feraliburn
SV: Nat vs Taka - both coming off wins last week with nats being her first this tour and i just like how it looked more than taka who was like lowkeyyy a scald burn away from getting turned into a suicune statistic... which nat also brought last week!
SV: Lana vs Quinn - its kinda funny both these guys brought basically the same team last week but lana was puttin on a show with sets i cant pronounce (the gatr was tera WHAT) so i give her the aura bold
SV: Plague vs zause - zause was actively finding ways to lose to stockpile kilowattrel last week which is interesting but w is w and i think he did still play pretty ok overall, meanwhile plague decided to HO and got sauced by a lilligant so like... yeah
SV: seraphz vs Kingler - feraliburns have had a lot of trouble filling out this last slot with a consistent guy so while seraphz hasnt had the BEST szn esp if we look at just sv i think he should still have the edge
ORAS: DugZa vs Feliburn - both these guys need to be locked in for their scl teams this week ngl but i think feli will be a little more favored as far as activity goes? ill give him the edge bc of that but i would remind everyone he DID get sonned by the young gun txunt last week so who knows if that will have inflicted any lasting psychic damage...
BW: Accel vs GoldCat - bw ru
ADV: muks vs Zcarlett - alright muks listen. u got the win last week. the agenda can be pushed here... at the same time zcar has actually looked pretty good in adv so far so it might be tough
SS: Sirwings vs OranBerryBlissey10 - i dont KNOW if sirwings has been grinding ss ru on the low or smth but I think obbs had more results in the tier even if it a relatively newer one for them too so I feel like they should get the edge
SM: Lyna vs Master Chief - yeah ok so the slurpuff team lost last week and now i uhhhh yeah, lyna u have like some cosmic disturbance in the feliburns camp buffing you this week
ORAS: crow crumbs vs Fragments - frag coming off a win and i want to say more experience than crow in this tier? i feel like that should be enough to give him the edge

Magic Guardians (4) vs (6) Zui Zoruas
SV: Evie vs Hacker - evie employed illegal jedi mindtricks on tsuki to walk with the game last week... and i do not believe that will work on hacker but at the same time she's had a tremendous season thus far and has continued to look strong so i see no reason to believe why she shouldnt be favored here vs hacker who has had some bad luck getting his feet under him this tour
SV: Sabella vs Ampha - yeah ok so it was my team that the sabella team played last week but i like just watched the replay and like... yeah idk WHAT all that was but its an ampha bold for sure
SV: Ac1D vs Drud - both coming off tough losses last week but drud got walked down by daha and ac1d honestly had a pretty good position but then like... idk like lost his mind for a few turns? he did a pretty good job pulling it back after and got unlucky later to ultimately lose which i think overall is easier to bounce back from
SV: hi.naming is hard vs MemphisDepay - both coming off big wins last week but i think i give edge to memphis, he just played a really solid good looking game meanwhile gew like... also pulled off some jedi mind tricks to snag the w last week
SM: Leni vs xXcrossbowXx - leni undefeated and has looked pretty solid in all his Ws meanwhile xbow coming off a tough L vs metallica last week where he kinda just got walked down without being able to do a ton
ORAS: Ruffles vs MrAldo - guardians oras slot has been a bit spotty with ruffles himself putting up really solid performances but their slot in general being 2-3, meanwhile aldo has just been mr consistent undefeated in the slot so i have to give the edge to him
BW: Mister McLovin vs Baddy - bw ru
SS: sol vs The Strap - considering the price tag the guardians dropped on sol im pretty surprised we havent seen them pick ss more this tour but this should be a great game, sol one of the last true ss mains and the strap the hottest ss ru player for like the past two years or smth, gonna give the edge to strap since hes still undefeated and is a big time performer
SM: TyCarter vs Dugtrio Is Broken - tycarter and dib have both had real tough tours up until this point but i think dib SHOULD be favored bc of some of the support he has in the back
ADV: Sneakyplanner vs Heysup - heysup once again having a bit of a hot/cold tour but i think he is still a high quality player and should have the edge over sneaky?

 

[GoldCat]

BW: Accel vs GoldCat - bw ru

At this point, I'll just cry sad tears

 

[Astro]

I still can't believe that the guy who literally played BW every week for the last 6 months justifies most of his predictions by "bw ru"
