1v1 PL VIII

Admin Thread | Spreadsheet | Replays and Usages

Week 6

  • 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.
  • Players are eligible to call act if mid series after challenging their opponent does not accept within 7 minutes.
  • 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.

SV: Akuu vs happysh; hes playing well until now, HAPPYSH GET HIM!!
SV: Nick vs lost heros; lost heroes is having a bad luck until now. If bo help him back to back after every game of this series he might kill that bad aura.
SS Bo7: RTM vs lolebruh; ig rtm wasnt building that much in sv7 but might win in SS.
SS: stravench vs LemonLime78; STRAVENCH u aint winning from the lemonade!!!!
SM: Sanshokuinsumireko vs Felucia; felucia aint losing this..... she knows why i am saying that ig idk lol

ORAS: Inkreativ vs Irene; no idea of both of them
BW: Taka vs LpZ; taka

Drive-by Dragapults (4) vs (2) Playful Panchams
SV Bo7: delemon vs LittEleven; after bo vs blanched 2nd most hyped series is this for me. Litteleven defeated me in swiss cause I MISCLICKED THE WRONG TEAM IN GAME 4 IG FACK.... delemon is 3-2 right now she might use her unrevealed powers NOW.

:heatran: Hellfire Heatrans (3) vs (5) Hyperspace Horrors :hoopa-unbound:
SV Bo7: Indi01 vs bo_bobson27 giboney unstoppable but lowkey if anyone is out to get him its indi building mid series so close one
SV: Akuu vs happysh i do not wanna hear the name happysh even in my dreams im so tilted
SV: Nick vs lost heros PLEASE L0-5T HER0-5 JUST GET ONE, JUST ONEEEEE
SS Bo7: RTM vs lolebruh justice for last week mishlef deserves nothing
SS: stravench vs LemonLime78 omg lemonlime78 :flushed:
SM: Sanshokuinsumireko vs Felucia mez locked in at the WRONG time come on now
ORAS: Mubs vs SEROO cant blame seroo for losing to newly formed prodigy ina fable. I haven't seen Mubs speak a word in like years is that guy ok
BW: PA vs AlyssaVGC HL MU IDT I EVER BOLDED PA IN MY LIFE!!!!
dire i predicted horrors to win. Well tbh I bold for lh and felucia every week im some sort of masochist

:rayquaza-mega: Metro Boomin' Megarays (4) vs (4) RPS Rhyperiors :rhyperior:
SV Bo7: neomon vs Lumii very balanced MU honestly I take neomon fresh off a W, he can't go into poffs while negative
SV: LongRat vs Murm need at least 1.1 longrats to murmwin
SV: Slip vs Kala chasmah just better at the game
SS Bo7: luser vs Here Comes Team Charm! inevitable loss for the charmster unfortunately
SS: glitched vs ihbst surely glitched wakes up vs the dedicated monopoke slot
SM: Iron Crusher vs Elo Bandit this is both a snoozefest and a hl MU at the same time. Bolding bandit cause someone on rhyps has to win and it's prolly gonna be the managers
ORAS: torterraxx vs Synonimous still not impressed by tort TBH but good run so far from both its a good mu
BW: Palestine vs dreepy YOOOOO HOLY SHIT ONE OF THE IRON MEN DIES HERE I CANT BELIEVE THIS LETS GOOOO. I got dreepy only because palestine is tired of carrying rays every single week
Tbh a bunch of really good series out here and a nice indicator of what might happen in playoffs. These mrays seem a lot shakier than they are used to and the rhyps are hitting it strong af. Both these teams tied to the panchams too. Will be nice to see


:dragapult: Drive-by Dragapults (3) vs (5) Playful Panchams :pancham:
SV Bo7: delemon vs LittEleven nahh what is this swap I'm sorry but I don't see the vision. Kaif dodging the delemonster to go farm swordisbored in oras LMAOOO. Litt did u let yourself get thrown to the wolves. Is it some strat to have lower manager price next year?
SV: bern vs bea bea was doing nice in sm tbh but i understand the need to put some subs in. Very difficult conditions for the panchams
SV: rumia vs Vertigo vertigo is just better I think swapped slotting from pults would've worked better tbh
SS Bo7: zo vs Close this is lowkey no contest close feasts on players like zo that don't really play like maniacs but are just a little too predictable
SS: Bomb21XD vs feen BOMB IS FREED THIS IS OVER FOR THE PANCHAMS LETS GOOO
SM: Kry vs Freddy Kyogre kry has looked really good this tour and I've been a believer. Freddy on the other hand... icy wind on rotom wash? any explainers
ORAS: SwordIsBored vs Kaif battle of the snoozer losers let's go kaif though statpad that shit
BW: Opchurtle100 ZackPalace vs QWILY pults bw has been so dogwater man absolutely not one win in this whole slot. Which of the managers thought solo 3k opchurtle (nvm zackpalace) could carry this slot?
Important week for the panchams and must-win even, vs the pults who have a bit less hope to qualify for poffs. Despite that and the decent results against the stronger teams of the tour the panchams are still struggling to get wins especially in their manager slots, it's kinda hard for them to break that 4 win barrier

but who cares about these fools

LET'S GOOOOOO THWACKEYS NEXT MISSION: DEFEAT BARRAS!!
1722266668007.jpeg
 
i went 3-3 on ss predicts last week : ( to compensate i am dropping a 800 word essay

Hellfire Heatrans (1-4 bo7, 2-3 bo5) vs Hyperspace Horrors (1-4 bo7, 2-3 bo5)
SS Bo7: RTM vs lolebruh - Wb to ss. not a super interesting matchup and i dont really have anything to say for either player
SS: stravench vs LemonLime78 - Stravench was probably one of the best steals of the auction as a super enthusiastic and pretty solid ss builder and player. On the other hand idrk anything about lemonlime78.

overall: both teams have been struggling in ss. I think the heatrans on paper had a super strong ss lineup (rtm nick stravench) but it hasn't been panning out much, and I hope they can bounce back after a lackluster early season. I think the horrors invested too much into newer SS players, which was a gamble but didn't really end up working out. I think ss is a tier thats pretty hard to get into in terms of building and they lack a super consistent builder (other than bo but he probably overworked already). horrors need a win this week, and they really need wins in ss in order to have a chance against the heatrans.

Big Baller Barraskewdas (3-2 bo7, 5-0 bo5) vs Trigger-Happy Thwackeys (2-3 bo7, 3-2 bo5)
SS Bo7: crow crumbs vs Mishlef - bird hit the mid season speed bump of two back to back neetlife zoomers but surely he bounces back. Mishlef is fine but a super hyperventilator and i think bird knows how to take advantage of that.
SS: Aliss vs xdRudi.exe - Aliss is going x-0 in weeks for sure. not only are they undefeated when you look at series but they are barely dropping games at all. haven't been paying attention much to xdRudi but realistically i would bold aliss against anyone in the pool.

overall: skewdas have one of the best ss duos in recent memory. don't see much ever really putting a stop to their success. Thwackeys are doing decent in ss especially for their super low price tag (both players combined cost the same as linux user bruh) but expect this to be a pretty one sided week for the skewdas. thwackeys is in a funny spot where their superstar players have been doing decently but not incredible, while their cheaper players are doing a lot of the heavy lifting. not sure if this will continue for the rest of tour / into poffs or if the insane records of their sub-5k players are just beginners luck. they're probably the most exciting team to look out for

Drive-by Dragapults (4-1 bo7, 1-4 bo5) vs Playful Panchams (4-1 bo7, 3-2 bo5)
SS Bo7: zo vs Close - one player cost 25k more than the other surely he wins. Both are off of really strong winstreaks after an early loss. zo's the hero of the dragapults but close is also really good and seems to have derusted after a week 2 loss.
SS: Bomb21XD vs feen - THEY FREED BOMB!!! This is where bomb21xd shines - against someone & a team who doesn't really have the ss support to spam hard cteams every single game. feen is doing pretty well this pl as well so its not some crazy unbalanced mu but i have to bold bomb. HIGHLIGHT MU!!!

overall: pults are basically performing the opposite of what i expected going into the tour. I thought zo would die in the bo7 pool but is finding a lot of success, where as somehow the ogpl winning strategy of delemon dropping year-old pokepastes for some decent clickers is not saving their bo5. Going the other direction (bomb) is kind of funny this late into the tour but honestly i think it was the correct choice and should have happened week 2. Afer a week 1/2 scare with Close he has finally lived up to his 30k price tag and is getting back into the hang of things, but it might be a little too late for the chams. Close is obviously a super good player but I don't think he has the delemon level of full team support / carry ability. i do not know where the feen teams are coming from (nolenot squad?? hello??) but the chams still manage to be one of only two teams which are positive in ss. i know i keep bringing up prices in this predict but this mu is 8k vs 33k LOL.

OVERALL: big week for a lot of teams in ss. horrors and heatrans ss are both underperforming and need to clutch up in order to even stay in poff contention by technicality but realistically they're out. skewdas locked 1 seed most likely but have to keep up their statpadding. Thwackeys have 2 tough opponents back to back so it's not going to be easy to hold onto the poff ticket. Pults have a uphill battle against chams/rps last 2 weeks. looking forward to some awful ss games this week!
 
celeste is a really good game (i have 22 hours on it and i started playing on thursday someone help me)

Hellfire Heatrans (5) vs (3) Hyperspace Horrors

SV: Akuu vs happysh (this is like gonna be good)
SV: Nick vs lost heros (lmao hwat)
SS Bo7: RTM vs lolebruh (about time this happened, if only nick was in ss5 we'd be golden)
SS: stravench vs LemonLime78 (where is my man liimpy)
SM: Sanshokuinsumireko vs Felucia (yeah we gotta stop bolding felicia so she starts winning)
ORAS: Mubs vs SEROO (it was irene's turn on week 4 so now it's seroo's)
BW: PA vs AlyssaVGC (i sense the upset here)

Metro Boomin' Megarays (2.5) vs (5.5) RPS Rhyperiors
SV Bo7: neomon vs Lumii (lumii gets back on her prime and wins in 5 vs egobum)
SV: LongRat vs Murm (can i get a sidedish of what the fuck)
SV: Slip vs Kala chasmah (and a lmao juice?)
SS Bo7: luser vs Here Comes Team Charm! (topped with an EGG SANDWICH)
SS: glitched vs ihbst (if you lose i'll cry)
SM: Iron Crusher vs Elo Bandit (buh buh buh highlight)
ORAS: torterraxx vs Synonimous (synon)
BW: Palestine vs dreepy (on one hand it's 5-0 vs 5-0, on the other hand, free palestine, on the other hand, dreepy is one of my best friends, so overall highlight bw match of the entire tour can't believe i'm saying this)

Big Baller Barraskewdas (5) vs (3) Trigger-Happy Thwackeys
SV Bo7: eblurb vs Blanched (burb in four)
SV: Nuxl vs DripLegend (drip in four four)
SV: Fancy1 vs Miyoko (fancy in four four four)
SS Bo7: crow crumbs vs Mishlef (birb in like 5 or 6 idk idt this goes to 7)
SS: Aliss vs xdRudi.exe (e-liss in four)
SM: Rellia vs Waylaid (waylaid in you'll never guess)
ORAS: Inkreativ vs Irene (la jinete en cinco [porque decir cuatro suena feo xd])
BW: Taka vs LpZ (you will never guess who wins and in how many games)
 
BEFORE WE START W OF THE WEEK!

SV: happysh vs DripLegend - 2 of the 4 sv 1v1 mainers in existence MATCHED UP BABY! this should probably be bo7 but thank god we have giboney and blanched there. hijo de giboney, puedas ganar contra driplegend? desafortunadamente, aaron en cuatro. i dont speak italian

YEP! ✔️

SV Bo7: bo_bobson27 vs Blanched - can't wait for this game to be played on sunday night and not matter because the horrors lost POGGERS! does giboney sabotage his team on purpose for the sole reason of bolstering his record? optimal statpadding GIBONEY IN SIX

yeah we fuckin got it in 6 ✔️

STANDINGS CHECK:
1722381823588.png

the sheep have been sheared and 3 teams are all but gone from the tour. we're shocked and bewildered and def did not predict this from week 2. unfortunately the horrors, pults, and heatrans have won a week each five weeks in. the megarays blew a 4-1 lead (again) bringing them to behind the rps somehow?? who cares they're playing each other in playoffs anyway. this week is kinda filler for the thwackeys because they continue to receive the fourth seed by default as drip heroically won a sunday game for the first time (sv bo5 vs happysh). the panchams are hot on their tail after stunningly clawing their way back against the aforementioned megasaturdays. both of these teams gave points to the heatrans somehow. idk if i personally watched any of the skewdas games but they steamrolled some team and are the first seed i guess. the only real narrative to here is battle of who gets to lose in semis. kaif statpaddding in oldgens hype! free litt. tenzhii has a better record than delemon. the jadburgs having the same numba of points as the thwackeys is very interesting, especially considering the thwackeys needed a Mishlef Moonblast Miracle (MMM) to win a game 7.

CROW CRUMBS' CASHAPP IS "eblurb" if u guys want some free wins :D @thwackeys
i lost the card btw :c

:camerupt: Cooled-off Camerupts (3) vs (4) Sussy Shuppets :shuppet:
SV Bo7: Indi01 vs bo_bobson27 - indi in bo7 is like bronny being drafted and forced to play in the nba by his dad. he might have some good moments tho. dude giboney you fumbled making happysh play game 8 vs driplegend no 1v1 new player is winning that in existence. even tho we told u to stop statpadding meaningless games u should have had a psychic vision and known that the week wouldn't be over by the last game this week. Gn tho horrors!
SV: Akuu vs happysh - happysh if you lose this week im out on you my dawg
SV: Nick vs lost heros - IT'S WEEK SIX AND THESE TWO STARTERS ARE A COMBINED 1-9! PANIC METER MANAGERS: THE BATTLE. nick is definitely the type to lose to lost heros.
SS Bo7: RTM vs lolebruh - rtm finally makes his debut in SS Bo7 after going 1-4 in sv, meanwhile lolebruh if he doesn't get subbed up puts up a respectable 1-2. both of these players are a combined 35.5k ): almost enough to sustain yourself for a year in canada! (please lower the housing prices)
SS: stravench vs LemonLime78 - not gonna lie strav i almost crossed this matchup out. as a wise man once said: "there's levels to this ass"
SM: Sanshokuinsumireko vs Felucia - sansho is like the best player in the sm pool apparently? with no swag? np dont need that shit. he defeated the jr troopa
1722380607413.png
of sm in elo bandit
ORAS: Mubs vs SEROO - mubs in 4! mubs in 4!
BW: PA vs AlyssaVGC - 2 titans of the bw metagame. it's time to see who will finally emerge as the not objectively worst bw player in the pool. hl matchup!!

overall: this matchup is the 1v1 equivlent of two tanking teams trying to lose at the end of the season. i hope the loser gets cooper flagg, these [REDACTED] teams that tried their best and came so close n_n need a superstar! giboney (cade cunningham) aint cutting it
1722377200247.png


:steenee: The Semifinals Steenees (3) vs (4) RPS Scizors :scizor:
SV Bo7: neomon vs Lumii - I LOVE PLAYERS WHO DROP TO 90 SECONDS AND THEN CLICK THE SAFE MON!!!! I LOVE IT I LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!! better than dropping to 10 Whatchu got against giboney lil bro? well he drops to 10 a lot look at his record bro same as eblurb
SV: LongRat vs Murm - INTENSE BATTLE OF MID! This is like world 2 blooper vs cheep cheep may the better regidrago wielder win I guess
SV: Slip vs Kala chasmah - Slip sometimes looks like god (beats nuxl and drip) and then gets dumpstered by some bullshit the next week. Unfortunately I feel like the reverse gatekeeper will not have luck against the schrodingers [redacted] Kala in 4
SS Bo7: luser vs Here Comes Team Charm! - luser lost massive aura last week when he rfnd and got executed by close, but it's clear that it's still enough to clear hctc in 5
SS: glitched vs ihbst - um.. what the frog? did you predict that at the beginning of the season that both of these slots would end up 1-4? Apparently all the ss2 aura has been sapped by aliss and rudi leaving no room for the rest of the world. if glitched doesn't get so eepy and oversleepy then maybe she'll get the victoreepy :3
SM: Iron Crusher vs Elo Bandit - two sm geezers, all we need is an uberlandon21 to act as the flint to the obsidian and we can unlock some good sm games.
ORAS: torterraxx vs Synonimous - "i cant find any aura in this battle" - anonymous dragapult overperformer. ea's losses have been pretty unexpected 3-0s.
BW (IRONPERSON 1v1 HYPE!): Palestine vs dreepy -
1722377633293.png

i got genghis.

OVERALL: for both of these teams it's a trial of semis and some weird slotting. marshmelto definitely deserves to be benched after losing out on wins twice in a row but he'll probably be back for playoffs. can the megarays win games on sunday or nah? let's find out

:crawdaunt: The Complacent Crawdaunts (4) vs (4) Mental-Boom Orangurus :oranguru:
SV Bo7: eblurb vs Blanched - unfortunately emil looks like a viable player this tour even without uncle william by his side.
SV: Nuxl vs DripLegend - :biheart: i heard being positive in sv gets hella taps on a certain mobile app
SV: Fancy1 vs Miyoko - josh giddey been balling in the olympics, fancy undefeated. coincidence? battle of the 3k demons
SS Bo7: crow crumbs vs Mishlef - much like bigfatmantis vs heysup i think u could give mishlef a mega kanga:kangaskhan:in ss and he would still find a way to lose. anyways max in six. i believe in u owen!!
SS: Aliss vs xdRudi.exe - alice the gatekeeper will not drop the ironperson run to ecks dee rudi dot exe.
SM: Rellia vs Waylaid - riley has actually had a horrible tour. he literally got 3-0ed by felucia last week. however the gabbster has had some unfortunate losses too, getting 3-0ed by krytocon last week. one of them has to win and i think it will be the one who wants it more. skewdas gettin complacent! (victim of this: panchams)
ORAS: Inkreativ vs Irene - skewdas have solved their oras slot by punting up on normal human prep and loading program teams. i'm not counting on irene to load a thundurus-therian (#1 counter to program teams).
BW: Taka vs LpZ - taka excellently brought rocky helmet gyarados to defeat dougs final endeavor for the pults bw slot someone please tell taka that hp flying is super effective on sceptile — fortunately for lpz i think he knows the type chart

OVERALL: why do u guys always just predict us to lose for fun every week like we literally got predicted 1-6 vs dragapults for no reason. realistically the skewdas are gonna donate points to the thwackeys just like every other team seems to enjoy doing i guess.

1722381272146.png

1722381285400.png

the skewdas 6-2d the pults just like last year, which means their score against every team has remained consistent with pl7 except for an extra win against the panchams. the scales :equilibra: must balance over the next two weeks so they will either 4-4 the thwackeys or 5-3 the horrors


:bruxish: Baddie Bruxishes (3) vs (5) Chucking-up Cubchoos :cubchoo:
SV Bo7: delemon vs LittEleven - after litt's burnout in oras he has been tossed to the wolves (Worse record than lonzo btw) while kaif reese completes some side quests to get back to a double double (.500) on the tour. he doesnt deserve this : (
SV: bern vs Vertigo - bern.jesus has unfortunately doomed this series to a blowout by accusing the other team of attempting to rig matchups and then ego-agreeing anyway ?_? putting aside the Eli Zelenskyy stone edge incident last week this just isn't something you do. Anyone on this pad see The Irishman? You do this you die type shit.
I haven't seen a single jules series btw :3
SV: rumia vs Bea - dude after discussing with lonzo how the rumia sv expiriment was a failiure they told me that rumia was finally in sm. however rumia is LICHERALLY still in sv for no reason #whatthefrog you know you're a desperate team when you deservedly bench someone, then like 4 weeks later unbench them out of sheer neccessity.
SS Bo7: zo vs Close - if u told me this would be a battle of titans and zo would have the better record going into this, i'd be shocked. tenzhii does need an ego check as they fashion themselves as dragapults shining light in the darkness so close in 5.
SS: Bomb21XD vs feen - only avengers level cteamers like linux user and dreamcatcher can beat this titan (bomb was benched for 4 weeks btw)
SM: Kry vs Freddy Kyogre - freddy randomly almost beat bandit but got haxed while kry lookin pretty decent this tour. Kry about to take another because the panchams need to win 5-3 in a nail biter according to the script and this just makes the most sense out of the non delemon players
ORAS: SwordIsBored vs Kaif Do you guys remember that episode of the black and white anime when ash's level 300 pikachu gets dumpstered by a snivy off the rip only knowing tackle? Yeah kaif got this. dude why is sword still playing oras LMAO
BW: ZackPalace vs QWILY someone who gets ghosted for tests by his team vs suspected ghost slot yeah we know who got dis

DRAGAPULTS BW SLOT (GIBONEY APPROVED)

OVERALL: this week is fake important since pults aren't fully out and panchams are allegedly competing for playoffs still. at this point everyone's just playing for record and personal glory. swordisboard road to 2-5 oh yeah
 
heyo all it's alice here back with another week of PREDICTIONS. last week was a good one for me as i went 5-2/4-4/6-1 (!!) in predictions for a total of 15-7. playoff picture is looking quite interesting with us being clinched and horrors being out and everything else still being relatively up in the air. rhyperiors (MY FRANCHISE) have one foot inside the door already and are imo a very strong lu so i don't see them fumbling. mathematically speaking one of the two teams in the megarays rhyperiors pair will clinch poffs this week regardless of outcome so 2 slots somewhat up for grabs. pults panchams seems like a rly important match this week; pults will have to win out while a tie MIGHT be enough to keep panchams alive (but i kinda doubt it since that'd leave them at -4 BD with 1 week to go). pults were highkey my dark horse pick for a playoff spot until they generously donated the horrors potentially the only points they will be seeing this week. speaking of the horrors they are presented with the opportunity to fight themselves out of 8th place with a win here. heatrans did a kinda mad juggle so lets see how that goes, they really need to take advantage of the opportunity given to them here as even a tie would 100% eliminate them. let's hope it pays off.

Hellfire Heatrans 4-4 Hyperspace Horrors
SV Bo7: Indi01 vs bo_bobson27 - my indi bolding ways finally paid off as they won their last two to put their record positive again and immediately got shipped off to bo7 bobson. that being said my streak of faith is gonna have to end here as i promised not to bold against giboney ever again (and was very wisely rewarded for my faith last week.) giboney has honestly looked very on top of this tier as one of the only few people and is contending for best SV record atm. rooting for my 27stie here.
SV: Akuu vs happysh - both of these players i feel have shown potential that is not quite realized yet, i think this is actually a pretty good sv2 mu despite the combined negative record. bolding happysh bc i think their support network on horrors is probably better.
SV: Nick vs lost heros - alright so the first of two at first glance seemingly nonsensical managerial juggles from the heatrans. both managers went 1-4 in their main(?) gens so they swapped gens in a last ditch attempt to make playins. luckily for nick he's facing the only manager in the tour with a worse record than him.
SS Bo7: RTM vs lolebruh - unfortunately for rtm unlike his colleague he did get an actually p real opponent. lolebruh got lucked last week and has been marred w act issues all tour but has looked competent to say the least whereas i have never seen RTM play SS so i don't really know what to expect there. unsure if he'll be able to adapt in time should be interesting
SS: stravench vs LemonLime78 - genuinely no idea who his opponent is sorry. strav got demoted from ss7 for.. what reason exactly? he was looking p fine i think. he's definitely a care-er and has looked solid this tour so i expect him to take this one
SM: Sanshokuinsumireko vs Felucia - bolding for mez = winless bolding against mez = undefeated. gonna keep it up hopefully. also sansho is 4-0 and has looked p much unstoppable in this tier where A tier VR cores piloted by solid clickers seem really hard to stop and god knows sansho is a damn solid clicker
ORAS: Mubs vs SEROO - i finally bolded against mubs last week and was immediately punished. yea this guys just good i think. seroo has also put up a strong record in a seemingly pretty stacked oras pool so is not to be underestimated but lost a bit of their earlier momentum. should be a fun one
BW: PA vs AlyssaVGC - PA IS BACK!! idk if he was just busy or if this was managerial trolling but im glad BW is no longer an autoloss slot for heatrans. kittyvgc is fighting for her life to salvage an 0-3 record so i'll bold her for now as i think she has somewhat more momentum + i'd love to see the comeback story.

overall: dont have too much to say here. heatrans really need this juggle work out and grab a few points vs the 8th ranked team right now to stay in the race. my reputation as heatrans believer might put me on fraudwatch if they fail to do so here.

Metro Boomin' Megarays 6-2 RPS Rhyperiors
SV Bo7: neomon vs Lumii - lumirachi aka ostiare aka berryalcremie has not looked as strongly as one would expect given her prior track record but both of these players are very very good if they care so this match could go either way, both in the sense that the winner is up in the air and that it might either be a really good series or a total whiff. bolding osti ig but i'm 0-4 on predicting neomon pairings correctly as this guy finally decided to win when i bolded kaif for the narrative.
SV: LongRat vs Murm - MURMDOG IS BACK BABY!! after finally getting his first non l0-5t heros (love u sorry for the stray) win last week he might actually be able to pull something together vs an opponent i've never heard of. longrat has a funny name that ive seen being memed a bit so rooting for them a little but they're one of only 5 people to not have actually played any games yet this tour. the other being go greeninja gyffyrd one last kiss and diversity hire sasha. @ managers can we try to make smth fun happen? :3c
SV: Slip vs Kala chasmah - i got told that i can't call kala chasmah REDACTED 'even if it is true' by the mods. slip is positive albeit not versus the strongest of schedules i don't think. regardless trust him a little bit more here than kala who lost his last two but neither of these teams' SV is actually any inspiring to me
SS Bo7: luser vs Here Comes Team Charm! - YESSSSSSSS holy hl. barraskewdas discord eric finally fell down to earth last week after being the last undefeated SS player left after eliminating bird. these players both lost to close who has looked solid as ever (probably pretty serious contender for best non banned player oat at this point) so i can't knock them for that. really big hl to me i'll bold luser here on record but this should be such a good match
SS: glitched vs ihbst - glitched subbed out last week whereas ihavebestsandteam subbed IN and WON!! so that's a massive aura boost for them. RHYPERIORS SS2 FINALLY WON A SERIES WOOOOO! anyway i said last week i'd believe in glitched one last time and she didn't actually like, lose, so no reason to change that i guess. whereas i also don't really have any reason to believe in rhyperiors ss2 either still.
SM: Iron Crusher vs Elo Bandit - both of these players sit at 3-2 with imo not the most inspiring of schedules faced so far i think sm pool is just kinda w.e this tour ngl. so there's imo not too much to work with for this prediction based on their prior season so i will just go with IC bc i think they're significantly better than elo just generally
ORAS: torterraxx vs Synonimous - after i made fun of torterra for their w2 series and then later on became a torterra believer again they have salvaged an 0-2 to 3-2. good shit. synon is 3-2 too and has played well vs strong opponents and is imo better but i'll go with the hot hand here and buy into the torterra momentum.
BW: Palestine vs dreepy - winner of this will be 6-0. never thought i'd be saying this abt a bw series but highlight of the entire week for free imo. palestine to me has always been a demon that i can't get a single read on and he looks EXTREMELY in the zone linking up with deg once more whereas the doctor has also been rly solid but has less robust support. will be seated.

overall: despite being largely successful so far this tour the rhyperiors lineup really does feel like it has some obvious holes to me, especially the bo5 slots in SV and SS, which i feel lines up pretty well into the megarays' strenght. their autowin slot that has kept them afloat staring down their potential first loss of the season also doesn't really help. regardless neither of these teams Need this win but both of them would really like it to clinch poffs. interested to see the outcome here.

Drive-by Dragapults 3-5 Playful Panchams
SV Bo7: delemon vs LittEleven - the delemonster lost to emilio last week which like, it happens. he's the goat. still my pick for the #1 player in the tournament AND ITS NOT EVEN CLOSE!!! litteleven was touted pretty highly as one of the best oras in the pool at the start of the season and has struggled heavily there so i don't really hate the juggle but i don't know how good his SV is and delemon is a pretty rough 1st opponent to roll into.
SV: bern vs Vertigo - after scoring a hard fought victory over lost heros bern is once more negative after last week whereas vertigo stocks are soaring pretty high with back to back wins and a positive record. it's hard to bold against someone with delemon support ofc but i trust in vertigo here. hope u keep enjoying celeste bern :)
SV: rumia vs bea - RUMIA IS BACK!!! YES!!!!!!!!!! i think she was benched after getting lucked p hard idr too well but always been a big fan ofc heart eyes. she seems to be back in over sufys? idk what that is about maybe he's just unavail for a week at least thats what i hope otherwise this call seems p meme. i bolded bea in SV both times and she won both times gonna keep that going but highkey cool enough series for an sv3
SS Bo7: zo vs Close - some good ass ss mus this week. zo has put up a very nice 4-1 so far that has certainly MORE than helped to the pults being remotely still in the race at this point. meanwhile close took a second to get started but has gotten it going and is back to his usual godhood. going with the latter as zo's list of wins is somewhat fraudulent and i don't really think anyone he beat was close to close level but should be a rly good watch
SS: Bomb21XD vs feen - think it's a pretty silly manager call to bench eeveekid after losing last week if u actually watch the game and realize i flash cannoned her to death in 2/3 games i won. that being said ive always been a huge bomb believer (drafted him in pl5) so i didn't think he needed to be benched in the first place. feen is positive which to me is pretty impressive as a non mainer being thrown in SS. unsure if being a non mainer will do you any favours vs the quirkier phenotype of player that bomb definitely embodies. p fun series actually
SM: Kry vs Freddy Kyogre - kryto has been pretty solid all tour whereas 2024 freddy kyogre has unfortunately not seemed to have found his footing which is a bit sad to me as a fan.
ORAS: SwordIsBored vs Kaif - kaif slotting into oras after really struggling in sv makes some sense i suppose. 2-7 record between these two makes this kind of a sleeper series but they're both managers so that salvages the aura somewhat. sword has not won a series since saying he wouldn't lose another one.
BW: ZackPalace vs QWILY - qwily was looking p good earlier in the tour; lost the past two series to the 2 undefeated bw superstars so don't really feel like that's changing when he's facing down a weaker bw slot instead. pults bw is still winless and i'm unconvinced that's gonna change at this point but who knows maybe zachchoicepalace can make some magic happen.

overall: imo both these teams really need a win to realistically stay in playoffs contention. panchams ran into a really unfortunate situation with the kaif internet thing that couldve potentially put them at 5 points this week instead but here we are. we'll have to see if the manager juggle pays off for the panchams but i'm significantly more positive about it than the heatrans one at least i guess. pults are gonna need to put up a lifetime performance to stay in this tour but im somewhat rooting for them to keep the underdog run going.

2nd to last week, lots of playoffs implications here. have fun everyone rooting for my friends u know who u are!!
