Welcome to the inaugural edition of the Hackmons Premier League, the team tournament that showcases what the best Hackmons players have to offer!
- Roster and Schedule | Standings (Records) | Replays | Commencement -

Scheduling is up to the individual players, though managers can be contacted for any sort of problem (opponent ghosting, impossiblity to play, or anything else). If your opponent is missing, the activity timer can be started by your manager pinging the opposing managers in the manager chat, and by pinging the entire oponent team in the missing player chat in the HPL I server. This allows for a substitution to be arranged feasibly.
Please schedule through posts on your own or your opponent's Smogon wall, so activity calls are easy to solve (you can schedule somewhere else e.g. Discord and make it official on Smogon wall).
Respect general rules of conduct and tournament rules stated here.
If a substitution is made, tag both hosts (BoingK Test Rex), the opposing managing team (both), the opposing player, the player getting subbed in, and the player getting subbed out. Players that are subbed out may not be subbed back in the same week.
Replays are mandatory for the wins to count.

:necrozma-ultra: Nefarious Necrozmas (3) vs (2) Cult of Celesteelas :celesteela:
SV: willdbeast (70) vs teamo (30) - Will is really good.
SV: Quantum Tesseract (85) vs Fish Gaming (15) - Usually I wanna root for the Fish Gaming upset but QT is nothing if not consistent so yeah gg.
SV: SammyCe123 (60) vs big tony 2014 (40) - Steelas SV has been really awful because of Onyx being overworked, sammy wins unless steelas cook up something more polished.
SS: Jqlove (40) vs Tea Guzzler (60) - Tea wins if he isnt being a doomer about his tour luck.
SM: E4 Flint (35) vs Onyx Onix 7 (65) - Onyx is the goat.

:ampharos-mega: Pink Giraffe (3.5) vs (1.5) Followers of Purple Frog :swampert-mega:
SV: Stolen Identity (55) vs TTTech (45) - Highlight game, both players have been having a rough time this tour I feel but both are very strong.
SV: damflame 3 (60) vs Hiusi guy (40) - French player
SV: Treeko928 (25) vs Ivar57 (75) - Ivar is better although might be focusing on ssnl this week so Treeko can win if Ivar doesn't prep well.
SS: Andyboy (50) vs quojova (50) - Idk
SM: anaconja (65) vs jasprose (35) - anaconja's teams are cool.
 
:necrozma-ultra: Nefarious Necrozmas (7) vs (3) Cult of Celesteelas :celesteela:

SS: Jqlove vs Tea Guzzler: Tea will 6-0 this game, trust me.

4/6 last week, 11/17 overall

:ampharos-mega: Pink Giraffe (2) [1.57] vs (1) [1.43] Followers of Purple Frog :swampert-mega:
USUM PH: TheCreatorOfBullsht (70) vs lag=bad (30)
I'd make this closer but Bullsht will most likely bring something strong into the team structures lag/N typically like to run, and I've been somewhat more impressed with Bullsht's piloting so far. lag wins if Bullsht brings no Photon MMX and Innards Slowbro though.

ORAS PH: Glory (51) vs CommandoBruh (49)
I think this will be incredibly close – Glory's builds can be pretty scary, but CommandoBruh (I had no idea they signed up, why didn't they start LOL) has more experience in general with building support from N. Playing-wise I think Glory's a little more solid. Probably comes down to sleep turns.

ORAS PH: Eyeos (36) vs NToTheN (64)
Really tough to bold against N when they're better at ORAS than in USUM (where they've already put up a decent fight), and the ORAS pool is quite a bit weaker imo. Wouldn't count Eyeos winning out though, given modern ORAS' haxy nature and ORAS players' tendency to run DIES TO BOUNCE support sets.


:groudon-primal: Sunday Red Groudons (2) [1.66] vs [1.34] (1) Glorious Registeel Robot Revolution :registeel:
USUM PH: Guysmash (70) vs mayonnaise. mayo. (30)
Screenshot 2024-09-09 at 2.38.03 PM.png


ORAS PH: Illusio (51) vs Ballfire (49)
I think Illusio's a slightly better player, but I also haven't seen them play ORAS in a while (though I'm sure they have in test games/friendlies I'm unaware of). Basically a 5050 but I have to bold someone.

ORAS PH: Iguana (45) vs manu 11 (55)
Manu's the more solid player imo, but I'm under the impression that they have almost no support (Sacred Fire Diancie hasn't been good since mid-2020), and therefore inclined to think mc will bring an ever so slightly better team.
 
6-4 last week its getting better. /pick also 6-4.
SV: Stolen Identity vs TTTech - yolk got hard prepped for last week and instantly lost on matchup. TTTech however has just been burnt out and too spread thin across other stuff.
SV: damflame 3 vs Hiusi guy - damflame's team last week was definitely a bit iffy (getting spike stacked by a team without spikes?) while Hisui just reused because it didnt affect result. Giving edge to damflame because they are stronger clicker.
SV: Treeko928 vs Ivar57 - Ivar had a good matchup last week, misplayed it to be losing multiple times, then gets bailed by opposing misplays and critical luck. Was not the biggest fan of Treeko's build but I can't be bolding Ivar after that.
SS: Andyboy vs quojova - Andyboy has been very consistent throughout and while quojova's build last week was interesting it might be too interesting.
SM: anaconja vs jasprose - anaconja's builds have been fire.

SV: RoFnA vs BugGoBrrrrrr - RoFnA has been using very generic style balances but (I haven't looked in detail) seem relatively sound and he is better at clicking here.
SV: rarre vs pannu - Regrettably pannu has been performing very well and as long as he doesn't instantly lose on matchup here he should be able to get it.
SV: NightEdge vs Akira 153 - NightEdge has been doing well but they have also been getting rather favourable matchups. Again probably comes down to prep, in which Akira builds are wild enough to usually have outs regardless of matchup.
SS: hayedenn vs MAMP - Very close but I think MAMP has been gradually getting back in form. Bolding purely because the build last week felt more interesting than hayedenn's generic one.
SM: SuperSkylake vs cityscapes - Skylake has been bringing rather comfort sets, which might mean nothing for city because she's going to cook anyways but some of the sets definitely feel less convincing, and you can always believe cityscapes!
SV: Stolen Identity vs TTTech
SV: damflame 3 vs Hiusi guy
SV: Treeko928 vs Ivar57
SS: Andyboy vs quojova
SM: anaconja vs jasprose

SV: RoFnA vs BugGoBrrrrrr
SV: rarre vs pannu
SV: NightEdge vs Akira 153
SS: hayedenn vs MAMP
SM: SuperSkylake vs cityscapes
Top 5 highlight games:
1 - Andyboy vs quojova
2 - hayedenn vs MAMP
3 - E4 Flint vs Onyx Onix 7
4 - Jqlove vs Tea Guzzler
5 - RoFnA vs BugGoBrrrrrr

Apologies but reviews for W2 and W3 are probably going to be posted next week along with W4 if I have time as I am going to be busy this week.

Hello gentlemen. I am not doing too fine this week on a personal level and cant find the right headspace to make the kind of cheerful predict post. I will analyze week 3 predicts next week and post a continue of them during week 5, where things should be better. Im sorry, love you all.
