Follow all rules listed here.
Schedule via Smogon VMs. It's easier for us to make decisions for activity calls when I can see the scheduling.
If you are unable to schedule with your opponent, please let your managers know ASAP. Managers, please ping the opposing team's pingable role to inform them.
Substitutions may be made after a week has started. When making a substitution, please tag hosts, 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, but they also contribute to usage stats and allow the people who couldn't watch the games live to watch them later.

Went 11-5 week one, with some disappointment over a few of my close picks not working out...

SV: Dugtrio Is Broken vs Lana - DiB collected a cheap win with snow last week over feen. I don't think feen loaded that great of a 6 tbh, definitely not what I envisioned at least, but DiB squeezed the life out of the mu. Lana looked quite good too (please read my seraphz writeup below it's so decadent), and I slightly favor her in this particular mu.
SV: HisuiHeat vs Pixie909 - Davis loaded some straight bullshit last week and got away with it, while pixie loaded some straight bullshit and didn't. Gonna favor the Aston Martin to keep justifying that price tag.
SV: lighthouses vs blittius - Diogoat in SV after only one week, bring Mikah back coward! Regardless he should be favored here in his first time up.
SV: Ampha vs NinjaCaro - Ninja did well last week, beating an atrocious fat build by Joel. Ampha generally does well being passed teams (especially from Davis from what I know about other subforum tours) so gonna favor the better player here.

SV: seraphz vs Ming549 - Last week, seraphz took to heart my comments about them being a cancer and lashed out at me in the OMCL w3 thread (below). Unfortunately, this was the full extent of their effort in either tour it looks like, as they got 6-0d in both games they played while watching me clutch the week for my team in OMCL. For this reason, you should anticipate getting bolded against in perpetuity, sphz. Also ming played fine overall so that works too.
MnM: TrainerGoldAlt vs Mareep

trainergold seems like a solid player who brings interesting teams and have notably pilot capability also seems to have better overall support (love u machamps) on the other hand, we have flampoke. he was my first ever MnM game and i won despite having absolutely no idea what any of the mons did. honestly i don't think I've ever seen him do particularly well in an OM tour but maybe i'm wrong (?) he's also been flaming myself in RUCL predicts so i genuinely hope he loses
SV: Baddy vs Drud - This is the SV RU highlight of the week, probably? Two really strong clickers who will probably just load whatever gets put in their channel and play at a really high level. Slightly favor Drud.
SV: Regiboob vs angolano06 - The boob v ango. Ango loaded some webs bs and it worked out last week, while boob loaded some fat bs and it worked out, too. Assuming this is another cheesy mu and boob is probably better.
SV: JoelXLeaf vs Hoops - Joel loaded atrocious stall while Hoops loaded solid and outplayed, gonna assume Joel goes more offensive but Hoops is still better atp.

SV: Shadow079 vs etern - This game is getting played at some deviously unviable time wtf. etern loaded grassy into sun, an insane pull, while shadow had a pretty nasty 6 too. Gonna take shadow in a very narrow mu but this is close.
SV: Kitoothe vs zugubu royale - Kitoothe looked good last week, nice shout Metallica126. zugu looked fine too, a little less divine intervention going into this tour than SCL it looks like, but I still favor zugu to rebound.
SV: DripLegend vs zmkzin - My faith in zmk is through the roof after they looked pretty solid last week. Sorry Drip.
SV: feen vs DugZa - Tough pull for feen after getting snowed in last week. Dug has 0 reason to not just pull a strong bo paste and click here.

SV: hi.naming is hard vs zause - This is the SV RU highlight of the week, probably? The drud v zause chat ended up pretty stale and gew v zugu didn't quite pop off as hoped for, so gonna take gew here in a close one.
SV: Gooberclimbton3 vs LB - GOOB.
SV: Novax vs Slikkles - Slikky loaded a gastro empo reun defensive core last week and it worked very nicely in that mu, not the biggest fan of the whole 6 but it worked as intended so no hate. Novax played fine but slikky has a million reps in this tier lately and will win.
SV: Medasus vs brick - Keep this brick guy from loading too many NU shitters and he'll win eventually (gligar is a bum please stop using this mon).
 
:sharpedo:Mr. Speed Boosters vs Glacial Cetitans:cetitan:
SV: Dugtrio Is Broken vs Lana
SV: HisuiHeat vs Pixie909
SV: lighthouses vs blittius
SV: Ampha vs NinjaCaro
strong af sv lineup from speed boosters they might just 4-0

:weezing-galar:Tantalizing Weezings vs City of Brotherly Drudd:druddigon:
SV: seraphz vs Ming549 -this prediction is flipped if speed control is not overlooked in builder
SV: Baddy vs Drud -hes prepping olt cant be winning this too, unless..
SV: Regiboob vs angolano06
SV: JoelXLeaf vs Hoops


:krookodile:The Kriminal Krookodiles vs NGL Nosepasses:nosepass:
SV: Shadow079 vs etern
SV: Kitoothe vs zugubu royale
SV: DripLegend vs zmkzin -this guy is so fire I will be catching this live hopefully, was the most entertaining watch of week 1
SV: feen vs DugZa
Mickey Mouse Krookodiles not making playoffs


:shiftry:The Golden Wind Riders vs Trace Telepaths:gardevoir:
SV: hi.naming is hard vs zause
SV: Gooberclimbton3 vs LB
SV: Novax vs Slikkles
SV: Medasus vs brick
all very much 50/50 mus
 
:sharpedo:Mr. Speed Boosters vs Glacial Cetitans:cetitan:
SV: Dugtrio Is Broken vs Lana - sv1 dib
SV: HisuiHeat vs Pixie909 - this will be a good match either way but davis undefeated
SV: lighthouses vs blittius - nice seeing diogo in sv
SV: Ampha vs NinjaCaro - ninjacaro is very capable of winning this but I think ampha is more consistent

:weezing-galar:Tantalizing Weezings vs City of Brotherly Drudd:druddigon:
SV: seraphz vs Ming549 - one of the other best matches, this will be close, I can see ming losing if he goes some no steel nonsense
SV: Baddy vs Drud - another very close one, but I prefer baddy, this is like 55/45
SV: Regiboob vs angolano06 - angolano is very strong, but boob is my boy
SV: JoelXLeaf vs Hoops - battle of overcookers

:krookodile:The Kriminal Krookodiles vs NGL Nosepasses:nosepass:
SV: Shadow079 vs etern - these two probably know a lot about eachother from NU, but I think shadow can go off this rucl
SV: Kitoothe vs zugubu royale - I hear kit is good, but I just don't know them, and zugubu is that guy atm
SV: DripLegend vs zmkzin - drip is a very good player vs someone I dont know much
SV: feen vs DugZa - close one but if dugza doesnt pull up with 3 below ru stall I think hes got it

I will be attempting to keep track of SV predicts, leaderboard is as such so far (correct me if I'm wrong):
SimpleOri 12/16 = 75%
Mareep 11/16 = 68.75%
Slikkles 8/12 = 66.67%
xqiht 10/16 = 62.5%
GoobC3 7/12 = 58.33%

:sharpedo:Mr. Speed Boosters vs Glacial Cetitans:cetitan:
SV: Dugtrio Is Broken vs Lana - dib moment, idk lana that well and I will go with my gut
SV: HisuiHeat vs Pixie909 - davis is my king, can't predict against him
SV: lighthouses vs blittius - lighthouses I'm decently familiar with, blittius I am not, I suspect this will be a pretty one-sided matchup
SV: Ampha vs NinjaCaro - I like what ampha loads and he's a very experienced player, I could see this one possibly going in the way of NinjaCaro but I'm gonna go with a 4-0 for speed boosters

:weezing-galar:Tantalizing Weezings vs City of Brotherly Drudd:druddigon:
SV: seraphz vs Ming549 - I think ming will really lock in this week, expecting a strong performance here from him
SV: Baddy vs Drud - was unaware baddy has to prep for OLT as well, seems even more likely then that Drud should walk away with the dub
SV: Regiboob vs angolano06 - I like ango bc he loads my teams for memes sometimes (hint hint nudge nudge)
SV: JoelXLeaf vs Hoops - battle of the overcookers, I think Joel is gonna bring something wild and it's actually gonna work this week


:krookodile:The Kriminal Krookodiles vs NGL Nosepasses:nosepass:
SV: Shadow079 vs etern - this game is hard for me because I like Shadow as my fellow team OCE player but etern has a pretty undeniable record, flipped a coin and coin said shadow so we're going with that
SV: Kitoothe vs zugubu royale - zugu is kinda in his element rn and I'm quite unfamiliar with Kitoothe, so that should explain how this will prob go
SV: DripLegend vs zmkzin - I still don't know who zmkzin is, I suspect it's an alt, but I think this is gonna be an upset
SV: feen vs DugZa - OCE'er again and dug is looking pretty strong and fresh from SCL (I think) so look forward to watching this game.


:shiftry:The Golden Wind Riders vs Trace Telepaths:gardevoir:
SV: hi.naming is hard vs zause - I think zause's hater energy won't be strong enough this week, prepared to be proven wrong though
SV: Gooberclimbton3 vs LB - this is the match I'm looking forward to most tbh, I think GoobC3 will really perform here and I'm hoping to see a good debut game from him this tour
SV: Novax vs Slikkles - Slikkles grinds this tier more than basically anybody else, and I think that will once again reflect in the results this week
SV: Medasus vs brick - absolutely fire game, flipped a coin and the coin said brick
 
:sharpedo:Mr. Speed Boosters vs Glacial Cetitans:cetitan:
SV: Dugtrio Is Broken vs Lana DIB did well last week
SV: HisuiHeat vs Pixie909 Hisuiheat will get subbed out, gg
SV: lighthouses vs blittius Hard to against lighthouses in SM here
SV: Ampha vs NinjaCaro Ampha has more SS experience
SS: mipc vs Hacker tough one, I like Mipc's playing a bit more
SM: Bouff vs Tenebricite Tenebricite is obviously a very solid player
ORAS: Flabeauf vs Ruffles AURA
BW: Don Bork vs BIG WILL I favor BIG WILL in playing and building
BW: Rigas vs velvet rigas is a solid clicker for sure
ADV: Wamr vs Heysup this one is tough. Both very solid ADV players. I think Heysup is more versatile in ADV which could help them, or honestly be detrimental

:weezing-galar:Tantalizing Weezings vs City of Brotherly Drudd:druddigon:
SV: seraphz vs Ming549 Ming losing is morally right for bringing Twave Mowtom but I'm not sure it will happen .
SV: Baddy vs Drud I like Baddy's play more recently
SV: Regiboob vs angolano06 big Regiboob fan. I think they play more solidly in general but I've also seen Angolano play very well before
SV: JoelXLeaf vs Hoops Hoops is less likely to bring mono ZU
SS: LBN vs C0nfiden1 0yster I like Oyster's building and playing more in SS
SM: Xiri vs rylon Hard to go against Xiri in SM
ORAS: sky vs Cielau Cielau is a very solid player
ORAS: Calmmind75 vs Dlanyer Calmmind is a solid player
ADV: Msousa vs Zcarlett don't really know Msousa
ADV: Proszz vs Fantos13 I'm more familiar with Proszz. They can play solid for sure.

:krookodile:The Kriminal Krookodiles vs NGL Nosepasses:nosepass:
SV: Shadow079 vs etern I think Shadow plays more solidly and brings more solid teams
SV: Kitoothe vs zugubu royale Hard to go against Zugubu here with him versing a player I don't know so well
SV: DripLegend vs zmkzin can't say I know either of these guys well but zmkzin did not too bad last week
SV: feen vs DugZa DugZa is currently more invested in RU than Feen but I also feel like it's possible DugZa will overcook while Feen just brings something solid they're passed
SS: luuanfps vs damien the genius I favor Luuan here. I definitely like his SS play more.
SM: lza vs Gondra
SM: Indulge in dreams vs spell
ORAS: Osipova vs old lemons I liked what Old Lemons brought last week more
BW: Clem vs ninjadog I favor Ninjadog in terms of playing a bit but I do like Clem's creative builds. This one can easily go either way.
ADV: Sirwings vs Joaf Sirwings didn't do too bad in RUWC and I just have nothing on Joaf

:sharpedo:Mr. Speed Boosters (5) vs Glacial Cetitans (5) :cetitan:
SV: Dugtrio Is Broken vs Lana -> DiB doesn't beat the cheese merchant allegations which is a big L. Lana played well so I feel like she's quite faboured.
SV: HisuiHeat vs Pixie909 -> Battle of wholesome people. Davis is someone that I thought was super underrated before RUCL and then he went for 20k+ :skull:. He had a game of all time last week but I believe in a solid game here. Pixie got quite unlucky last week. Idt the HO week 1 was a good idea but I feel like she's super underrated as a clicker. I remember how she carried me in pmpl.
SV: lighthouses vs blittius -> Diogo is v solid. He knows his stuff and has his take on the metagame. blittius team felt weird. Very old RU coded and a bit outdated. He didn't play baddly so will have to keep an eye on him.
SV: Ampha vs NinjaCaro -> I know Ampha and know how solid he is espacially with Davis support. They're great support for each other and I expect good things. Ninja brought the type of team you need to bring vs Joel and farmed. Still favouring Ampha.
SS: mipc vs Hacker
SM: Bouff vs Tenebricite
ORAS: Flabeauf vs Ruffles
BW: Don Bork vs BIG WILL

:weezing-galar:Tantalizing Weezings (5) vs City of Brotherly Drudd (5) :druddigon:
SV: seraphz vs Ming549-> Serphaz loaded stall into Gallade last week which was v unfortunate. Not much he could do. Ming brought a cool team last week, except the speed control was regular Terrakion. I believe Ming can find the right balance of cooking and also not bringing BS this week. I liked a lot of the ideas week 1.
SV: Baddy vs Drud -> Both won last week ableit with luck. I'll go a bit with a hot take in the sens that both are really good clickers and yes building support is way better on Druds but idk. Baddy will use some black magic or smtg.
SV: Regiboob vs angolano06 -> Unfortunately both didn't break the cheese allegations last week. Stall and webs... yikes. Regiboob is a better player overall and feel like Angolano's heavy reliance on HO will go punished.
SV: JoelXLeaf vs Hoops -> Joel brought a stall that was 'interesting'. Hoops just went in confident, did his thing and clawed back while Joel got farmed. Why must Joel always try and cheese when he isn't a bad player. Trust your abilities a bit man...

:krookodile:The Kriminal Krookodiles (5) vs NGL Nosepasses (5) :nosepass:
SV: Shadow079 vs etern
SV: Kitoothe vs zugubu royale -> Closer than prople expect. I like kitoothe's team. zugu brought ditto into Gewwge which didn't pay out. End game was rushed but I still remember his SCL run.
SV: DripLegend vs zmkzin -> Hot take moment but I believe in the newcomer. I liked what they brought and seemed solid. Yes they needed a Novax choke but hey play your outs. Drip couldn't play last week and he's a homie so my bad Drip...
SV: feen vs DugZa -> DugZa is scary, really scary. It's also a battle between the TL and the one who criticized a lot feen by the past. I'll say feen is solid but man DugZa is a monster atm (I will wait for the 10€ glaze fee by tomorrow).
