Week 1 | Week 2 | Week 3 | Week 4 | Week 5 | Week 6 | Week 7 | Semifinals | Finals
Administrative decisions | Replays and Usages | Spreadsheet

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.​
  • 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.​

Dear Santa,
For the past sixteen years, I’ve never left a stocking by my bed waiting for your gift—because I’ve always wondered if you really know what I truly want. The things I desire, I try hard to buy for myself. But some relationships aren’t something I can hold on to just by wanting them to last. If you can hear my wish, please tie me and the people I treasure together with a long, long thread, forever.
 
Fun predicts but too lazy to give detailed predictions

A lot of very close match ups, good luck everyone!
 
The Mega Launchers (6) vs (4) Sacred Sakura
SV ZU: plznostep vs Micciu (steppy)
SV ZU: PTKmoekyuun vs One Last Kiss (idk, OLK is in the 'solid but beatable' category imo, to where I'd expect OLK to go toe to toe with SV1 ppl but also be someone I could beat. PTK is the type of player who would bring smth that OLK has never seen and win with it, but I'm feeling like OLK is gonna be able to get around it)
SV ZU: brick vs Lennart (I got to this one around the time where I was asking myself 'is the team who wins on paper winning?' which saves me from having to triple-check who I think is better. Anyways, I think Lennart has more experience in the tier.)
SS ZU: crow crumbs vs Jojen (crow crumbs has been popping off)
SM ZU: MZ vs eldids (have to bold MZ)
ORAS ZU: The Strap vs DugZa (neither player is popping off record-wise, so I'm defaulting to DugZa)
BW ZU: Indulge in dreams vs SEA (Indulge is even record-wise, SEA is also even but I rate SEA higher in general)
DPP ZU: Django vs HSOWA (hype MU, I have to lean Django based off record)
ADV ZU: Fragments vs scionicle (played more games in the tier, and I have more to go off)
SmogTours Bo3 (SV, SS, SM): diego vs Shadow079 (diego lock in. Jokes aside, shadow is good. diego is good. i think it both of them are at 100% for the game that diego should win SV/SS, and I don't know how good either's SM is.)

Morpeek-A-Boos (5) vs (5) To Pimp A Butterfree (yeah this one is gonna tie)
SV ZU: DripLegend vs LogIce (Pekos SV isnt known for building, if the frees are locked in I think LogIce comes in with a good MU and can win from there)
SV ZU: MemphisDepay vs aerobee (aerobee is doing fine and Memphis is doing well)
SV ZU: Gom vs Leroipolux (I've felt like Leroipolux's teams are a little same-y, but they're facing the one team I can't use that logic to bold against someone. I still trust Gom ever so slightly more.)
SS ZU: Ninja vs clean (THIS is the HL MU. So naturally I waited to see what I wanted the final score to be before picking. I don't know ball)
SM ZU: Kasp vs hex (The thing is, we have no idea if Kasp is gonna try to get away with it again or not, and if not there's like no scout)
ORAS ZU: HAVOCKNIGHT vs NoName6293 (i called it in cord but i called wrong anyways)
BW ZU: PoseidonWrath vs Xrn (Xrn is the better player)
DPP ZU: Plague vs tier (plague still hasnt won a game in this tier yet. That's something I probably should ignore considering if it was w1 i would've said 'oh plague clears' (and did) (and was wrong) but with how well tier is doing, I think this does balance out to a fairly even enough MU to where I can use tour record to justify who I bold)
ADV ZU: BeatsBlack vs LustfulLice (if frees don't tie, they need to take ADV and SS (or another SV) to win)
SmogTours Bo3 (SV, SS, SM): Toto vs OranBerryBlissey10 (Toto has been doing better through the tour)

i might try harder in finals predicts and 'watch replays' or something like that
 
The Mega Launchers (0) vs (0) Sacred Sakura
SV ZU: plznostep vs Micciu (as long as steppy doesnt bring flittle then good odds)
SV ZU: PTKmoekyuun vs One Last Kiss
SV ZU: brick vs Lennart (i like watching brick games, he plays with swag)
SS ZU: crow crumbs vs Jojen (crow hot)
SM ZU: MZ vs eldids
ORAS ZU: The Strap vs DugZa
BW ZU: Indulge in dreams vs SEA
DPP ZU: Django vs HSOWA
ADV ZU: Fragments vs scionicle
SmogTours Bo3 (SV, SS, SM): diego vs Shadow079 (close matchup but think diego will be locked in)

Morpeek-A-Boos (0) vs (0) To Pimp A Butterfree
SV ZU: DripLegend vs LogIce
SV ZU: MemphisDepay vs aerobee
SV ZU: Gom vs Leroipolux
SS ZU: Ninja vs clean
SM ZU: Kasp vs hex
ORAS ZU: HAVOCKNIGHT vs NoName6293 (i woulda did this)
BW ZU: PoseidonWrath vs Xrn
DPP ZU: Plague vs tier
ADV ZU: BeatsBlack vs LustfulLice (racism bad)
SmogTours Bo3 (SV, SS, SM): Toto vs OranBerryBlissey10 (i like obb here if they dont bring sandslash, otherwise going toto)
 
The Mega Launchers (5) vs (5) Sacred Sakura
SV ZU: plznostep vs Micciu - french buff
SV ZU: PTKmoekyuun vs One Last Kiss - too much aura to lose
SV ZU: brick vs Lennart - slight edge
SS ZU: crow crumbs vs Jojen - haven't been following tbh but iirc he has the better record rn
SM ZU: MZ vs eldids - you gotta clutch the rematch buddy
ORAS ZU: The Strap vs DugZa - idk what to say
BW ZU: Indulge in dreams vs SEA - can't go wrong predicting SEA
DPP ZU: Django vs HSOWA - has been slaying
ADV ZU: Fragments vs scionicle - again idk bro
SmogTours Bo3 (SV, SS, SM): diego vs Shadow079 - this is a serious situation and diego doesn't have a history of clutching these

Morpeek-A-Boos (7) vs (3) To Pimp A Butterfree
SV ZU: DripLegend vs LogIce - Having Obb be the QC for your teams isn't a good thing
SV ZU: MemphisDepay vs aerobee - This is probably the closest SV of the three
SV ZU: Gom vs Leroipolux - The conclusion is that I don't like butterfree SV while peko SV has grown on me
SS ZU: Ninja vs clean - SS watchers eating so good
SM ZU: Kasp vs hex - what else can I even predict here, we all know what we want to see
ORAS ZU: HAVOCKNIGHT vs NoName6293
BW ZU: PoseidonWrath vs Xrn - Xrn
DPP ZU: Plague vs tier - doesn't really seem like this is a DPP season for Plague
ADV ZU: BeatsBlack vs LustfulLice - Beats
SmogTours Bo3 (SV, SS, SM): Toto vs OranBerryBlissey10 - Toto always takes SM and will probably luck out SV, there are stakes so he should play decent this time
