Rules

• 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.

Tatsutonys (6) vs (3) Searing Slugmas
SV PU: MZ vs MichaelderBeste2 - MZ is hard to predict against while MDB hasn't been particularly impressive in low tiers without very specific support but Drud can save the soul society here for sure in terms of prep
SV PU: Baddy vs Colin - Baddy vs slam finalist its a tough draw but I believe in Baddy
SS PU: Bloshh vs Stareal - My series with Blosh during SS Open was probably one of my favorite series I’ve played (as in it was very competitive) and he’s a super strong opponent. I think this is pretty neck and neck but if Stareal is passed a decent team he can lock in and win.
SS PU: The Strap vs Addison - Addison has been doing pretty well for her first (?) time playing PU but I have to give it to the more tenured SSPU player
SM PU: Thiago Nunes vs Drud - 40k has to win in playoffs
ORAS PU: ishtar vs Axzel - Axzel seems to win in everything that isn’t Monotype….I’ll favor Ishtar bc mainer but this is another neck and neck MU. I think Axzel is slightly better in game tho
ORAS PU: LessThanThreeMan vs Ox the Fox - iirc Ox hasn’t been doing too hot but playoff buff also its Ox
DPP PU: Django vs Leni -

ADV PU: evakiyama! vs DD Joe - Joe is a super versatile player but I think he’s been beaten by people who have been into ADV more than he has. Eva has kinda been on a hot streak everywhere on the site I feel lmao
RBY PU: Maris Bonibell vs hammer798 - They both lose because they are playing RBY so I’m not predicting this one

 

[Maris Bonibell]

RBY PU: Maris Bonibell vs hammer798 - They both lose because they are playing RBY so I’m not predicting this one

no balls . let me help you with your predict

RBY PU: Maris Bonibell vs hammer798 - I'm the only winner in this matchup because i am lucky and because it is unacceptable to lose in semis. STRAP ON STRAPTONYS

oh i forgot about the other rby mu

RBY PU: ButtGallon vs virae

Liligants can no langer dance here

Tatsutonys (0) vs (0) Searing Slugmas
SV PU: MZ vs MichaelderBeste2 - can't bold against der beste zwei
SV PU: Baddy vs Colin - idk bro
SS PU: Bloshh vs Stareal - might be the only case where I support a Spaniard as a french
SS PU: The Strap vs Addison - idk
SM PU: Thiago Nunes vs Drud - Drud is great this season
ORAS PU: ishtar vs Axzel - Knowledge check mu
ORAS PU: LessThanThreeMan vs Ox the Fox - only because I like his username more
DPP PU: Django vs Leni - cool mu
ADV PU: evakiyama! vs DD Joe - I trust Joe
RBY PU: Maris Bonibell vs hammer798 - I still don't understand after watching it for 7 weeks

Unova Celtics (0) vs (0) Blue Lock-On
SV PU: Esteb4n vs Shiba - too strong
SV PU: Xiri vs crow crumbs - will it be linked
SS PU: turtledoggo1 vs termi
SM PU: robjr vs Gondra
ORAS PU: feen vs BluBirD
BW PU: skrimps vs LpZ
BW PU: sky vs elodin
DPP PU: Micciu vs TyCarter - Micciu getting sabotaged into an old gen ahain
ADV PU: Plague vs THE_CHUNGLER - one of the hypedt game
RBY PU: ButtGallon vs virae - what are these names

 

[Nat]

go ishtar, go tatsutonys

 

[THE_CHUNGLER]

Tatsutonys (0) vs (0) Searing Slugmas
SV PU: MZ vs MichaelderBeste2 MZ is a good player matchup into mdb2 I feel, he’s strong enough as a pilot that he won’t give Michael more than like a 30% chance to win if Michael mostly plays safely in-game.
SV PU: Baddy vs Colin fairly close, two good players, but baddy would love to crush the slugs under his heel
SS PU: Bloshh vs Stareal still can’t be tha lopsided it’s stareal, but wow, bloshh has leveled up massively since even pupl.
SS PU: The Strap vs Addison :strap: has looked great with bloshh support and I think tonys will be rewarded for securing the double SS pick.
SM PU: Thiago Nunes vs Drud this one is still close it’s Nunes, but for this series to be interesting drud needs to lead his team through dark, tony-infested waters.
ORAS PU: ishtar vs Axzel double oras is cool for these teams, I’m rooting for ishtar and she is the chalk bet, but axzel has been a success flexing around different tiers so it’s fun to pick him. Ishtar does better as the underdog anyway.
ORAS PU: LessThanThreeMan vs Ox the Fox kicking myself for not drafting the pastor, he’s been solid whenever the Timmys need him and really knows the tier. Ox will be a lot harder to beat in playoffs and SPL over now, but he’s looked beatable this tour and still will need a team passed.
DPP PU: Django vs Leni this just smells like the type of game Leni wins with something crazy
ADV PU: evakiyama! vs DD Joe if this was any other gen I could take joe here, but eva has been playing this slot all tournament and the slugs have yet to really figure it out. Playoff I LOVE EMO TWINKS is very hard to beat without very good prep.
RBY PU: Maris Bonibell vs hammer798 I see hammer win a lot recently, has hit his stride. I think he’s a top 3 rby low tiers player (yeah ok it’s like being the best basketball player at your high school but it mean something here). Maris still might even be better, but the slugs gotta get an upset here to win or tie the series
