Apparently my SPL9 showing was "really strong" while my SPL10 was only "solid". I went 5-5 both times

Whoever wrote these RBY PRs probably lost their sanity watching this tier because a lot of stuff is not very accurate. I appreciate the effort though

 

[Bedschibaer]

I wrote them and nobody quality checks this shit. I didn't lose my sanity yet, I just didn't bother checking any records. The writeups are literally "player x is known for y and played in z" or dice getting gigatriggered by sulcata. The quality is about as high as you get for dudes writing this shit for no compensation.

I'm just wondering how I can simultaneously have "questionable team compositions when he's trying to express creativity" but also "be a bit predictable."

 

[sulcata]

Except Lycans, his family's life savings are currently worth half of what they were worth when I generated this low effort meme so they won't even be enough.

They're great and all but let's face it, I'd say that 49 euros is a tad bit too much.

Thanks to this message and a few others on discord, we've discovered that the prices set in the store were not what was originally intended. That's quite expensive!

The store items have been temporarily removed and will return as soon as possible. I am sorry for the inconvenience, and appreciate your understanding!

Can I get a refund then?

Returning for another year are the team avatars, all made possible thanks to Zarel once again and created by myself, rozes, and a few others who I don't know exactly.

The avatars should be available for use on both main PS and the Smogtours server. If you were submitted on your team's roster you just log on to the account submitted, usually the one you're voiced on the Smogtours server, and use the command /avatar splxi[teamname], with the full command list as follows:

Hide

/avatar splxibigs
/avatar splxiclassiest
/avatar splxicryonicles
/avatar splxiraiders
/avatar splxiruiners
/avatar splxiscooters
/avatar splxisharks
/avatar splxitigers
/avatar splxityrants
/avatar splxiwolfpack

Also here's each of the avatars separated in their original size:

Enjoy!​

Can I get a refund then?

If you open the confirmation e-mail you got from Teespring and then click on the "Track My Order" button you should find a "Cancel My Order" option. It takes a few days for orders to actually be printed, so if you're quick you can cancel the order and order a new one once the store is updated (which is being done as I'm writing this post). For example, this is what my order now looks like:

Once the store is back up Zracknel will update his thread so you can order your merch again at a cheaper price. We're getting some extra stuff too so stay tuned!

EDIT: The store is back up!

Will Smogon Gameday be returning for SPL?

RE: Prediction Tour

I'm confused on the incentive to predict each week for the banner; you're penalized on wrong guesses, while the goal is to remain as close to a clean slate as possible, so wouldn't that reward just predicting the final week to earn the least amount of points possible?

Only people that predict each week are eligible to win

Do you think you're an expert on the SPL rosters?

https://www.sporcle.com/games/darkravenn12/bigs-roster

Test your knowledge here, by seeing how many members of the legendary 27-man BIGS roster (including managers) you can recall in 2 minutes.
High score is currently 26 by TonyFlygon and, to LITERALLY NO ONE'S SURPRISE, Finchinator.
edit: luthier and tace got 27.

 

[rsicard]

It is.

However, here's the official tournament calendar : https://www.smogon.com/forums/threads/official-tournament-schedule-2020.3656262/ so you know when would be the next tour, and here's the page for all tournaments : https://www.smogon.com/forums/forums/tournaments.34/ , the official tournaments are pinned, and you can see what they consist in and what happened in previous editions by opening their respective sections.

Of course you have to signup before the tour starts, all you gotta do for that is signing in the thread which has "signups" in it's title, like this one : https://www.smogon.com/forums/threads/adv-cup-v-signups.3648787/ (I took this one randomly but you get the idea)

I suggest reading the rules of the tournament before doing shit.

For example, the next official tournament is "Official Smogon Tournament" which is a pretty straightforward tournament consisting in first-to-two-win in Gen8OU, i dont know when the signups for this one will open but for this one you have several days to sign in, so if you look at it's subsection once every day or every two days, you wont miss the signup thread.

Oh and by the way, if you scroll down you'll find a lot of unofficial tournaments, which can be equally fun as official ones. Or even more if they involve DPP OU !

Thank you!

it is actually a punishment to win that god awful banner so they're dissuading anyone from participating
