  • Follow all rules listed here.
  • Schedule via Smogon VMs. It's easier for me 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 so they can communicate that to me or the other team's managers for a potential substitute.
  • 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, they contribute to usage stats and allow the people who couldn't watch the games live to watch them later.
  • Managers: Please send me your lineups in the same format that I used to post pairings. It makes it much easier to post future rounds more quickly.

SV DOU: CodeVG vs SEA - I really hope Code isn't as scared of SEA as I am (yes this bit is still alive)
SV DOU: sundays vs Ann - sundays has really impressed me this season
SV DOU: breakfast enjoyer vs veti - both very impressive players but I'm leaning veti off experience
SV DUU: MADARAAAA vs churrojr - I really hope both players can pull out something cool for this game, it has a lot of potential
SS DOU: Paraplegic vs Xrn
SM DOU: Akaru Kokuyo vs Mako - it hurts to predict against either of these players but I am leaning akaru

Predictions time. Last week an amazing 13/15, cumulative 93/182=51%.
Final week! My team (go ducks!) is in finals, so I can't do predictions. Not alone. That's why I am here with Ferrari450 and bello figo. They agree on same boldings, but the reasons are different. I Interviewed them, I leave here the content.

M: Hey, I'd like to know your thoughts about final pairings. Ready?
F: Ah?
B: Let's start!

M: First of all, SV DOU parings.
CodeVG vs SEA
F: SEA's only chance of winning is using mono bug to hack the code.
B: I'll reply later.

M: Ah, okay. That is the deep analysis I asked for (GRRR).
Sundays vs Ann
F
: Sunday is one weekday only, Ann on the other and exists every day of the week so she will have more time to prep.
B: I really like sundays teams and how he has been playing, but I see Ann slightly favored in this matchup.

M: Last SV match.
Breakfast enjoyer vs veti
F: "Breakfast kick-starts your metabolism, helping you burn with scald throughout the game. It also gives you the energy you need to get things done and helps you focus on ps or at work. Those are just a few reasons why it's the most important meal of the day". He's so focused I can't vote against him omg.
B: The rookies (Code and breakfast) breakout seasons will continue heading into the finals? We believe in them, and if they manage to hold out with the pressure, with the level of play they demonstrate thus far, they will win.

M: Perfect. Now SV DUU.
MADARAAAA vs churrojr
F: He got a new pair of sunglasses this week so he can see into the future better.
B: Can't pick against Duu swiss champ, MADARAAAA after a rocky start got back to his level thanks to bello figo's help.

M: I don't know why I did not use a fire style jutsu in your face yet.
Only oldgens remaining, I want to hear your thoughts, we start with SS DOU.
Paraplegic vs Xrn
F
: Unless X(e)rn(eas) forgets his Power herb home he'll win.
B: Xrn's experience and level of play will bring him to victory this time, I can't see him losing with the stakes this high.

M: Perfect, and now SM DOU. We have...
Akaru Kokuyo vs Mako
F: Akarui means bright in Japanese so he'll play in a splendid way.
B: I think Akaru Kokuyo as a manager/player will do everything in his power to win the match and with his experience will be able to.

M: Only two matchups left! XY DOU...
SingleThunder vs Arcticblast
F: Electric vs Ice is neutral but ice is made of water so single thunder should win.
B: Arcticblast is doing really well but his fire season will stop.

M: Last pairing. BW DOU.
Idyll vs Monai
F
:

Mo(n)ai.
B: Monai will win, single player for the win. He's stepped up as a sub and demonstrated incredible versatility and decision making. I favor him in the finals.

M: Thank you! So this is your finals predictions:
:psyduck: Milwakee ducks :psyduck: (5) vs :tinkaton: Paldea Cratemakers :tinkaton: (3)

M: I have another ques... wait! Where is Ferrari?
B: He is laddering probably like a nerd, or just disappeared until an incredible tournament will start.
M: Mmm... reasonable, is not a tragedy. His predictions are so irrational.
Okay bello figo, I have a last important question: are you following dpl?

(Bello figo burger left.)

M: I'm not sure I'll do mixed predictions again!
