Rules
  • Follow all rules listed here.​
  • Schedule via Smogon VMs. It's easier for us to make decisions for activity calls when we 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 us or the other team's managers for a potential substitute.​
  • Substitutions may be made after a week as 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.​
  • NEW YOU MUST PING THE OPPOSING TEAM ROLE IN ORAS DISCORD TO MAKE AN ACTIVITY CLAIM.​
  • If a match remains incomplete by the time of the deadline, it will be subject to an activity call.​
  • Post replays. 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. They're also required.​

Predictions! With explanations this time

:lucario: Forest Hills Lucarios (6) vs (6) Sky Striker Genesect :genesect:
ORAS Ubers: The Strap vs Fardin - Strong boi
ORAS OU: Destro16 vs Luigi - Destro will come w/ vengence
ORAS OU: Stories vs avarice - stories really impressed me last week, but I still give this to greed
ORAS OU Bo3: Savouras vs Gtcha - Sav did luck his last opponent, but I do think in Bo3 people who main the tier are favored
ORAS DOU: laptops vs sir jelloton - Even tho Laptops lost, i suspect he wont lose twice in a row
ORAS UU: Xiri vs Pak - Pak nerf when
ORAS RU: Lacks vs feen - now that i know who is supporting feen ... yeah he's not gonna be easy to beat
ORAS NU: Gondra vs Ninja - Not sure if Gondra cooked that team or he was given it, but it was good for an NU debut. I will bet on him
ORAS PU: LpZ vs ManOfMany - That ursaring was goated. No beginner to PU can pull something that deep. He's the man to beat
ORAS ZU: sleid vs Havocknight - Estra the 2nd best ORAS ZU player after that guy ruffles
ORAS LC: Onraider vs Extinct! - Extinct is the LC man of the hour for me
ORAS Monotype: terrors vs twinkay - ngl no clue just bolding terrors to get to 6-6

:rhyperior: Ruin Valley Rhyperiors (7) vs (5) Raging Reshirams :reshiram:
ORAS Ubers: skimmythegod vs keys - He has the keys to victory
ORAS OU: entrocefalo vs Always! - It's tough for me to vote against Always unless it's someone very consistent. Entrocefalo is an italian warrior so maybe he pulls some santu magic
ORAS OU: awyp vs Django - I give this to the offense fiend awyp, esp with Devin support
ORAS OU Bo3: devin vs lighthouses - Devin is slightly favored in my head, but Lighthouses will def put up a good fight
ORAS DOU: bagel vs Akaru Kokuyo - huge potential for DOU botw here, Bagel pulled a nice upset but I think i'll give it to Akaru
ORAS UU: Baddy vs BP - BP came out swining, winning w1 and first blood of the entire tour. He has impressed me
ORAS RU: Oathkeeper vs MrAldo - This is really funny to me cuz they used to be co-managers and both are oras lower tier veterans, but I really like what Aldo cooks. He's a man after my heart
ORAS NU: Kiyo vs crow crumbs - hard to pick here because both of them had bad mu last week and lost. I did some friendlies vs. Kiyo and he seemed like a good player with a lot of passion, plus Etern at his helm. I give it to him
ORAS PU: ishtar vs asa - I know asa will bounce back after last week, she will make sure of it. Ishtar is no easy opponent tho
ORAS ZU: 5gen vs neomon - my underground bestie
ORAS LC: gali vs bleahey - yeah this guy bleeds oras LC
ORAS Monotype: Cielau vs purbaj - this is a very interesting one for me. Purbaj had a strong showing but Cielau is the one who mains this tier and history favors him. Purbaj buddy i'm rooting for the upset

:cofagrigus: Tomb Raiders (5) vs (7) Candice Strikers :zapdos:
ORAS Ubers: orch vs squinn - squinting hard
ORAS OU: cloud and book vs Hacker - he beat someone as good as Luigi and made it look effortless. This guy can really play any tier
ORAS OU: Magician vs White Atoq - A 2-0 win vs. Gtcha was very impressive, surprised he was switched to OU
ORAS OU Bo3: ACR1 vs Seasons - I do think Seasons does better in Bo3, so I can see the vision here. I'd prob bold him against anybody not Enzo
ORAS DOU: Chris32156 vs SingleThunder - might be botw for DOU as well. Chris was underrated coming into this but had a very strong w1 showing
ORAS UU: col49 vs Jay - I still want to believe col49 is top 3 UU in this pool, but Jay might prove me wrong.
ORAS RU: LBN vs GoldCat - I mean an ORAS RU enthusiast vs. someone who hates the tier. GoldCat do not disappoint me
ORAS NU: Terracotta vs kiru - Roxie is the ORAS NU goat
ORAS PU: BluBirD vs TJ - Huge potential for botw right here. TJ is my westie bestie and he's genuinely a great player. I prob rate him as the #1 PU player in this very very stacked tier. BluBird is also my friend and is very talented, but I'll give it to TJ considering he's newer.
ORAS ZU: fish anemometer vs OranBerryBlissey10 - OBB wont lose twice. #sandshrew>vibrava4life
ORAS LC: Lazuli vs Raichy - Lazuli looked better to me but I'm sure Raichy can clutch it too
ORAS Monotype: Foolycl vs zIcarus - This is actually very very interesting. I might give it Zlcarus here but foolycl I'm sure is no slouch.

Let's see if the predictions for this week are more on point than the last. I still believe Gengar's is the most stacked team of them all but we shall see how this plays out.

:lucario: Forest Hills Lucarios (7) vs (5) Sky Striker Genesect :genesect:

ORAS OU: Destro16 vs Luigi - It's time for Destro to show his skill.
ORAS OU: Stories vs avarice - very close one to really choose confidently, Stories will do it this time though.
ORAS OU Bo3: Savouras vs Gtcha - Main > not
ORAS DOU: laptops vs sir jelloton - I liked Laptops last week, bolded.
ORAS UU: Xiri vs Pak - I love Xiri's teams, but Pak is the goat.
ORAS RU: Lacks vs feen - feenino.
ORAS NU: Gondra vs Ninja - Gondra is a solid player, and he showed he could win last week.

ORAS Ubers: skimmythegod vs keys - ubers goat himself.
ORAS OU: entrocefalo vs Always! - my goat Always will prevail.
ORAS OU: awyp vs Django - Django is a great person and a solid player. However, I think I have to give this to Awyp.

ORAS DOU: bagel vs Akaru Kokuyo - Akaru has been great so far, and always puts in the effort.
ORAS UU: Baddy vs BP - I liked both their showings last week, but I have to give this to Baddy.
ORAS RU: Oathkeeper vs MrAldo - stacked matchup, but I'll bold Aldo this time.
ORAS NU: Kiyo vs crow crumbs - I'm bolding Kiyo because I've seen him more. However, crow crumbs might surprise me and get a nice w.
ORAS PU: ishtar vs asa - Though Asa lost last week, I believe she can get it back and pull it off this week and then some.
ORAS ZU: 5gen vs neomon - last week I didn't bold you, but I trust you can win this one.
ORAS LC: gali vs bleahey - quite impressed with both, but I'm bolding bleahey.

ORAS OU: Tenebricite vs kingofking - I have to bold Kingofking.
ORAS OU Bo3: Metallica126 vs NoName6293 - this one is hard, but I believe noname can run it back after the loss last week.
ORAS DOU: Nakano Nino vs eragon - regardless of the upset last week, I think Eragon is the best douer in the pool.
ORAS UU: dunoks vs Ainzcrad - dunoks is a UU goat.
ORAS RU: xXcrossbowXx vs Horii - get it friend.
ORAS NU: Ampha vs Feaniix - impressed by Feaniix last week, bolded once more.
