Hey you! Yeah, YOU! I am an associate of the West Alolan Weaboos™ and as 1v1 Premier League V approaches, the West Alolan Weaboos™ seem to be dying out, very sad indeed. BUT we at the West Alolan Weaboos™ are offering YOU a chance to be apart of this great foundation. I know what you're thinking, and no this is NOT a pyramid scheme. I was told that if I get a good amount of people to join, I would get a promotion to ULTIMATE FEMBOY. THIS could be YOU (ULTIMATE FEMBOY). I hope to see YOU apart of the West Alolan Weaboos™ so we can overthrow the corrupt authority on Smogon dot com!

Power Rankings time wooooo
(not including my own team because bias)
RPS Rhyperiors
Team:
SS: HCTC/TSC/Joker/Bomb?/Aliss?
SM: HCTC/TSC/Joker?
ORAS: 187/Lancer?
BW: Joker/eblurb/Lancer
DPP: NAR?
Besides somewhat of an opening on the DPP spot, this team does a pretty solid job at covering the essentials with multiple people who can all help account for multiple slots. The main question of the matter is whether or not the morale can be kept high enough to maintain the interests of everyone since not really any of these guys have a history of being particularly active in chat, to which Alice and Charm are gonna need to put in some work, in addition to making sure that the DPP spot is covered.
Trojan Porygons
Team:
SS: smely/Potatochan/DC3/tears/G2S/Leru/Tol
SM: James/G2S/Tol/DC3?
ORAS: smely
BW: Potatochan/Yami?
DPP: Yami/James
Bases covered pretty nicely in terms of players, albeit placing a bit of pressure on SM and ORAS. The biggest issue this team faces is synergy, since roughly half of them either don't really talk, haven't met, aren't friendly yet, etc. Biggest responsibility on the managers is gonna be getting the mainstream 1v1 people to interact more with the newer/less active people.
Castelia City Catgirls
Team:
SS: Close/XSC/pqs/philisteen/Mish/Piper
SM: Close/XSC/Kentari/pqs
ORAS: XSC/Mubs
BW: Close/anyone with DEG support
DPP: Jabiru
While the move to not daft one of your managers might have raised some eyebrows, it seems to have payed off, with the extra credits allowing Mubs and Deg to afford two big name players between Close and XSTATIC COLD, alongside multiple other very competent players and builders. While there isn't necessarily a dedicated BW slot on the team, getting support from BW Council member DEG and multiple Classic playoffs qualifiers certainly doesn't hurt. What's better is that if either of this team or the Thwackeys don't make playoffs and the other does, then you know for sure the SEU support from one is gonna come in and help out the other. The biggest challenge for the managers here is just making sure someone gets trained in BW without making one of your big players have to take the slot, in addition to making sure the chat stays active in general.
Simping Slakings
Team:
SS: Bopher/Scraft/Waylaid/carpe/Blaziken/Sansho?
SM: Bopher/LBDC/Syn/ACII/Waylaid/Blaziken
ORAS: carpe
BW: Sansho
DPP: Syn
While Sansho's original comanager is unfortunately nowhere to be seen in this lineup, they more than make up for it with a powerhouse of coverage on SS and SM, with very solid individual performances in BW and DPP, leaving ORAS as somewhat of the weakest link, though not necessarily a dead slot. Biggest obstacle for these guys is making sure the chat stays active and reinforcing that ORAS.

Pyramid of Poliwrath
Team:
SS: dogknees/Murman0064/Krytocon?/Itchyfoot?
SM: Akumajou/Elo Bandit/Boat
ORAS: OM
BW: ???
DPP: Euphonos
Bit of an oddball team to say the least. A lot of the pressure is being put on players who probably went a bit higher than they realistically should have to not only win their slots, but provide for others as well, especially in the SS department. Someone's gonna super duper need to pick up BW, especially with the new Kyubless meta afoot. Synergy's all over the place ranging from people in a loving relationship to people who've never spoken to each other. Never say never ig, but Euphonos (and QT if he exists) is gonna need to do some heavy duty managering in order to make it to playoffs, let alone win the whole thing.
Team:
| Euphonos | 10500 |
| Quantum Tesseract | 4000 |

Godspeed Scolipedes
Team:

ORAS: LRXC/SoulWind/Maki?
BW: LRXC/SoulWind/Maki?
DPP: LRXC/SoulWind/Maki?
A handful of solid players, though the big question is the matter of synergy. Realistically, it looks like the managers are gonna be doing most of the talking while D2 loads up the same dad joke every time someone says "I'm [X]". Additionally, there's not much building coverage in the way of the oldgens, so all of DPP, BW, and ORAS really do fall on LRXC's head to account for them. While crucify and LRXC are a combo equipped to carry, they're certainly gonna need to do a lot of it in order to make it, I feel.

While STABLE and zio are a very solid pair of players and builders, they might have bitten off more than they can chew here. There's a pretty glaring ORAS weakness right there, in addition to a questionable SM core with only one player of recent acclaim. It very well could be the support of banned users that makes or breaks this team's chance at playoffs, if they so choose to lend that support.

Besides somewhat of an opening on the DPP spot, this team does a pretty solid job at covering the essentials with multiple people who can all help account for multiple slots. The main question of the matter is whether or not the morale can be kept high enough to maintain the interests of everyone since not really any of these guys have a history of being particularly active in chat, to which Alice and Charm are gonna need to put in some work, in addition to making sure that the DPP spot is covered.

Bases covered pretty nicely in terms of players, albeit placing a bit of pressure on SM and ORAS.

While the move to not daft one of your managers might have raised some eyebrows, it seems to have payed off, with the extra credits allowing Mubs and Deg to afford two big name players between Close and XSTATIC COLD, alongside multiple other very competent players and builders. While there isn't necessarily a dedicated BW slot on the team, getting support from BW Council member DEG and multiple Classic playoffs qualifiers certainly doesn't hurt. What's better is that if either of this team or the Thwackeys don't make playoffs and the other does, then you know for sure the SEU support from one is gonna come in and help out the other. The biggest challenge for the managers here is just making sure someone gets trained in BW without making one of your big players have to take the slot, in addition to making sure the chat stays active in general.

Biggest obstacle for these guys is making sure the chat stays active and reinforcing that ORAS.

Bit of an oddball team to say the least. A lot of the pressure is being put on players who probably went a bit higher than they realistically should have to not only win their slots, but provide for others as well, especially in the SS department. Someone's gonna super duper need to pick up BW, especially with the new Kyubless meta afoot. Synergy's all over the place ranging from people in a loving relationship to people who've never spoken to each other. Never say never ig, but Euphonos (and QT if he exists) is gonna need to do some heavy duty managering in order to make it to playoffs, let alone win the whole thing.Godspeed Scolipedes

A handful of solid players, though the big question is the matter of synergy. Realistically, it looks like the managers are gonna be doing most of the talking while D2 loads up the same dad joke every time someone says "I'm [X]". Additionally, there's not much building coverage in the way of the oldgens, so all of DPP, BW, and ORAS really do fall on LRXC's head to account for them. While crucify and LRXC are a combo equipped to carry, they're certainly gonna need to do a lot of it in order to make it, I feel.Trigger-Happy Thwackeys

Rosa has graced us with the most atrocious attempt at a power rankings that any of us have ever seen. The fact that I had to read it with my own two eyeballs annoyed me immensely, so me and my partner Allah have decided to do something about it. This is our Power Rankings.
How it works: I put the 8 team names in this randomiser and left it in the capable hands of my mans Allah.
This is legit a thousand times better than the other one and it was goddamn rng. Also, I swear on the I'm D2 joke that I didn't rig this so pedes were top, it genuinely came out like that. In conclusion, Allah knows best.

yo. So zoomers had a post-draft vc with LRXC, crucify, Ink, Fan, Mishlef, Denis, bopher, stable, mubs, dom, myself, and some muted people like smely/sansho/rellia/deg (server muted for meowing.) Unfortunately, the recording got corrupted but I'm gonna try and transcribe what was said. Managers muted during the discussion of their own team so I will still be including everyone. Some of these teams are super neck and neck and every team has a fair shot, this post is purely for fun don't let it discourage you.
Bold means likely to start in said tier, ittalic means fringe option to start in said tier
Well, I hope you all enjoyed the read. This is squaring up to be a pretty fun PL and I hope everyone has fun. Mubs out.

Pyramid of Poliwrath

SM options: Akumajou, Elo Bandit, Boat, Krytocon
ORAS options: OM, Elo Bandit
BW options: ? maybe Krytocon/QT
DPP options: Euphonos
This team is incredibly awkward. Both the expensive players need at least decent support but SS support is super questionable with Murman having to carry like all 3 slots and Akuma will be fed by slightly inactive Boat/Elo while Elo still has to build for himself. OM's activity is also questionable there is a fair chance he flops due to lack of sufficient support. BW is hella perdemos while Krytocon did make BW cup finals they have very limited showings outside of that tour which makes their ability to stand up with the more experienced BW players questionable. Another huge issue is that there's basically 0 star power. This team is gonna have to fight hard as hell to get consistent wins. Unfourtanetly, seemingly the most likely result for the Poliwraths is early burnout.

SM options: James, Downcoming3, Grain2Sel, Tol
ORAS options: ? maybe smely socks
BW options: Potatochan, Yami, James
DPP options: Yami, James
This team has massive slotting issues. Both OG zoomers smely and Potato are more likely than not gonna have to play an old gen which leaves SS in a very strange spot. The hope is that Leru gets fed each week or even plays, Aurodian is a gamble, DC3 is probably better in SM especially considering wcup, and there are no French speakers on the team for G2S which is potentially gonna cause communication issues. Tears is basically the only SS lock who will probably do fine with his zoomers cohorts supporting assuming he cares. SM is gonna have to be swapped around a bunch asw. Old gens are a massive question mark, they bought Finchinator but where is his support. This team has the same issue as Poliwraths, it's gonna have to work incredibly hard each week to put up a fight.
The general consensus was that Poliwraths is the worse team but the difference isn't that large.

Jirachi Regalia

SM options: UBERLandon21, Rosa, Inkreativ, Rellia, Tom842, frostyicelad
ORAS options: bea, Rosa
BW options: ? maybe Tom842
DPP options: Inkreativ, Tom842, alive
This team had an incredibly strong start with Nalei, Inkreativ, and UBERLandon21. All 3 of these players are properly supported as well as being self-sufficient. These 3 are basically locked positive slots and some of the strongest players in their respective tier. Then Rosa decided one DPP wasn't enough. alive has been incredibly inactive outside of DPP for a while now so his capability to cover BW is questionable especially with minimal support. Adela is a good player but doesn't really make sense for this team as they already have a sufficient amount of SS. bea is another good player that doesn't really fit, the guess is that Rosa is deadset on playing SS/SM instead of ORAS. Tom842 similar to alive has not really played any tier outside of DPP in a long while so I don't really see where you put him here, he's a fine bench but a cheap BW/ORAS sub would've been better here. frosty is a solid 3k pickup but I don't really see the scenario where he plays, like half the players in SS/SM have to shit the bed in which case the team is already boned. This team has a scary SS/DPP and solid SM/ORAS but this team has pretty significant slotting issues and questionable sub activity. This is by no means a bad team but it's gonna be an uphill battle to get the team in proper shape.

BW options: eblurb
DPP options: 187 Fan, 413X, eblurb
The managers already give this team a solid leg up from others as Alice/HCTC is a pretty scary SS core. There are some pretty sizeable issues from there though. Fan and blurb will probably lock down their respective gens assuming they can get sufficient ursa support, however, factoring in this team's history with ursas and that ursas is dead as fuck getting ursa support is by no means a lock. Third SS is somewhat of a gamble especially considering this team probably needs TSC to SM. Bomb is not very active and not very good at piloting which is not a great combo. not a racist and Seo. click decently but are also kind of a gamble with minimal tour results. Joker TSC SM sounds solid but potentially leaves a hole in SS and ORAS if you plan on slotting Fan in DPP. This is another team that needs to get slotting right and hope that the maybes pop off. Potential to be a really solid team they just need everybody to put in 110%.
Zoomers is very 50/50 on which is the better team here. The initial impression was that Regalia is better, however, upon further discussion, some people are leaning towards RPS.

Slakings drafted an incredibly strong SS that has the potential to be the best in the tour. They don't really have slotting issues even if the team is pretty new-gen heavy which means that if an old gen goes south up it's pretty problematic. Bopher is one of the better SS builders at the moment and he picked up some of the best pickers in Waylaid and Scraft so their inactivity shouldn't be that large a concern. Fragments(lvl100blaz) and BlanchedAlmond are hella sleeper picks that I'm very happy got drafted. Fragments did incredibly well in the Summer Seasonal and BlanchedAlmond consistently has accounts in the 1700s. SM is also pretty potent with LBDC and ACII assuming their activity is solid. ORAS is one of the more strange slots since magicarpe doesn't really have support but it's very far from unsalvageable. BW Sansho returns off an incredibly strong wcup performance and is definitely one of the better players in the pool. DPP can be problematic if Syno gets out-prepped due to his low activity but Syno is still one of the better DPP players. While activity and burnout is a concern this team is a solid playoff contender. If they can get into the swing of things this team is incredibly scary

zio + stable have made a very solid draft. Very good SS core, perhaps the best one with zio + stable + denis + Gym Socks. Obviously not all of them can't play these slots at the same time so I'd expect Gym Socks to BW and either zio or stable to pick something else up. Don't know much about Tricking but they seem to be one of those "talents" that can pick up 1v1 quite easily and do well if they start, considering the team support around them. Edgar + Freddy as an sm is nice though I do have my reservations on Freddy in 2021. Also BW is great here with STABLE assisting Gym Socks. My question here is on who the ORAS slot is. Dez? I wouldn't be surprised to see zio pick up oras depending on if Tricking starts ss. Definitely a playoff team for sure, wouldn't be surprised to see them in the finals.

SS options: crucify, SiceXV, Maki, parr0t, D2TheW
SM options: Squirtell 1v1, lmni 1v1, Felucia
ORAS options: LRXC
BW options: Maki apparently, LRXC, SoulWind
DPP options: SoulWind, LRXC
LRXC crucify is easily the best support core in the entire tour. Both build every single gen barring SM at a pretty solid level as well as being proficient players. Sice crucify SS is incredibly scary with both having really good showings in tours and assuming they can properly support SS3 this is easily one of the best SS in the tour. The double 1v1 in name SM core is pretty heat and mitagates the lack of SM support as both players are self-sufficient, having a good SM team checker would be really nice but this SM will still trump most others. ORAS LRXC is pretty good when he does not bring triple Mew. BW is kinda a massive question mark but LRXC+crucify should be able to feed Maki pretty well, albeit Maki BW leaves SS3 to parr0t or D2 which both have minimal tour experience, however, they have been around for a fair amount of time and have good intuition. Assuming SoulWind isn't crust he's one of the better DPP in the pool especially considering the support he has behind him. While this team potentially has slotting issues LRXC crucify provides pretty insane flexibility which leaves the team in an incredibly good spot with potential growth. Pretty much a lock for playoffs.
A 50/50 split more or less on who has the better team, really depends on who you ask.

SS options: XSTATIC COLD, Close, pqs, Mishlef, LuckyPiper, philisteen, Urfgurgle, ExplodingDonkey, Metony
SM options: Close, Kentari, pqs, Mishlef
ORAS options: Mubs, XSTATIC COLD, Kentari, Jabiru
BW options: DEG support slot, so probably philisteen
DPP options: Jabiru, Close
This team has both Close+XSC with DEG support while still having the most players in the tour. You'd have to be smoking something to not think this is the most frightening team in the tour. This team is absurdly flexible with Close and XSC being able to play any spot if needed with the amount of SS/SM subs allowing that to happen. pqs+Mishlef+Close+DEG+XSC+LuckyPiper are gonna be able to keep SS incredibly well oiled. Close Kentari SM is absolutely terrifying with both players being some of the best to ever do it and Mishlef+pqs is great support. ORAS is Mubs fresh off a ORAS Cup win with DEG support, should be able to go positive easily. BW is a slot DEG will have to gamble with but considering philisteen's aptitude for learning a tier with DEG's help BW shouldn't be that large a concern, that being said it's not very promising as a top contender either. DPP Jabiru is one of the more veteran players in the tier who still builds his own stuff. This team is gonna have an incredibly active and motivated chat with some very good players. Easily the favorite to win the tour.
