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 captains know ASAP so they can communicate that to the host or the other team's captains for a potential substitute.
  • Substitutions may be made after a week has started. When making a substitution, please tag the host, the captains 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. Your win won't be counted without a replay

:golett: The Gigantic Goletts (4) vs (6) Alt Girl Altarias :altaria:
SV: tom holland vs avarice - tom had a much rougher opponent w1 but avarice won his game and this is the kind of meta he thrives in. should be very good and definitely close.
SV: SPHZ vs Micciu - both players had convincing wins last week, also should be very close, bolding seraphz because i don't think either of these teams get locked out of sv
SS: OranBerryBlissey10 vs Lyra - lyra is very passionate about this tier but obb is just as knowledgeable and definitely the better clicker here
SM: Thiago Nunes vs MZ - both won their games last week but mz is better at this tier and won vs a much stronger opponent than nunes did
ORAS: etern vs asa - asa won last week and i assume this will continue as long as she keeps getting opponents whose last venture into this tier was when it was cg
BW: Cow vs Tack - both coming off of a loss w1, although tack's was to crack and cow's wasn't so sliiight edge to tack
DPP: JabbaTheGriffin vs Heysup - heysup unfortunately got dpp'd last week with xiri having the perfect ampharos set and then having no answer to back bronzor after torkoal died. jabba got his pockets run by kecleon. i do trust jabba's builds in this tier more though.
ADV: Plague vs nebi - both had pretty good wins w1 that ultimately really served as warmups for this game. slight edge to plague because he's a little more proven as a player but this is probably one of the closest games on the card.
GSC: SANKE CARP vs BloodAce - pat won, sanke did not, good luck getting sanke to care for real now
RBY: Wanted in 49 States vs AM - both lost but vs the top 2 players in the pool, so it's hard to really count it against either of them. edge to wanted bc i know him more for his rby work.

:magby: M.A.A.D City Magby's (5) vs (5) Chungy Mongeys :ambipom:
SV: Feliburn vs Larry - feli had a very strong and convincing win last week while larry's game vs metallica confused me a bit
SV: DripLegend vs Bouff - bouff won last week, drip did not, however i definitely think this will be a close one
SS: robjr vs TJ - tj had a pretty solid game last week
SM: Kiyo vs Hacker - i rate hacker more in random sm tiers than i do kiyo
ORAS: ManOfMany vs DugZa - MoM knows this tier better for sure but depending on how good of a team he gets doug could win this on player diff
BW: EviGaro vs ninjadog - generally is better at this tier, was not very impressed w ninjadog last week but can't hold losing to top 1 in pool against him
DPP: Drud vs BeatsBlack - ik these two are friends and ik their builds in this tier get wacky so i'm expecting a fun game, shit gets crazy spooky hilarious, bolding drud just on having more of a record to speak for
ADV: Quarante8 vs zoowi - knows more about this tier, if he gets any luck like he did last week he'll be fiiiine
GSC: BeeOrSomething vs LustfulLice - pretty much a coinflip
RBY: NotVeryCake vs Maris Bonibell - ibid but maris has the shitternet debuff
 
assuming that purchase price = better player = winner, this is what this week will look like
added win/lose records from previous round and some junk

Philip predicts, gl gamers
:golett: The Gigantic Goletts (2) vs (8) Alt Girl Altarias :altaria:
SV: tom holland vs avarice
Avarice did vile things to my player last week and tom had a tough start to the tour so I'm leaning avarice
SV: SPHZ vs Micciu
Just rate micciu higher here
SS: OranBerryBlissey10 vs Lyra
I think Lyra has possibly too much to prove here, while i think obb will win im gonna bold lyra.
SM: Thiago Nunes vs MZ
Was more impressed previous week
ORAS: etern vs asa
I'm still not convinced by oras etern, asa however has convinced me.
BW: Cow vs Tack
Rate Cow higher in this slot, both have tons of knowledge tho.
DPP: JabbaTheGriffin vs Heysup
Jabba is a better person than we were so idt heysup will see bronzor again.
ADV: Plague vs nebi
Broken
GSC: SANKE CARP vs BloodAce
If the rng is anything like last week idt bloodace can lose
RBY: Wanted in 49 States vs AM
AM is a solid rbyer but wanted is def more motivated for PU specifically
:magby: M.A.A.D City Magby's (5) vs (5) Chungy Mongeys :ambipom:
SV: Feliburn vs Larry
Very impressive showing last week
SV: DripLegend vs Bouff
:swalot: :glaceon:
SS: robjr vs TJ
Idk tbh, feels right based on last week
SM: Kiyo vs Hacker
SM demon
ORAS: ManOfMany vs DugZa
ManOfMany wins they call him on the grapevine, he's got this
BW: EviGaro vs ninjadog
Top 1 in pool moment
DPP: Drud vs BeatsBlack
The only time I'll bold against beatsblack here i think
ADV: Quarante8 vs zoowi
Coming off a massive win, zoowi has the fire to get going
GSC: BeeOrSomething vs LustfulLice
Still broken
RBY: NotVeryCake vs Maris Bonibell
Lol.
 
:vigoroth: Vigilante Vigoroths (6) vs (4) Psycho Scowlers :articuno-galar:
SV: Xiri vs Metallica126 major HL match, could go either way but I will defer to the circuit champ as his in game is very strong. Metallica should ask Tony for a crack build to win.
SV: VyoletRayn vs Ampha I like vyolet and think they’re a strong builder. Ampha is more accomplished in other tiers so obviously he can take this easily with a good build.
SS: Lambovino vs Kate lamboooo honestly I just root for the guy and am excited to see this match. Kate is probably the better overall player but Lambo can can cook.
SM: yandaud vs sugar ovens ovens is a scary guy to prep for based on the scout we saw last week. I haven’t seen yandaud play sm, but I know they’re a good player.
ORAS: 2xTheTap vs Vulpix03 Pix looked very comfortable piloting HO last week, interested to see how he does with a different team style.
BW: Tizio Potente Ao vs LpZ Another HL, Mr. bw pu himself looked comfortable cooking in the swannaless meta. Tizio is absolutely terrifying to prep vs. but if anyone can catch him cheating in the builder it will be LpZ
DPP: Oathkeeper vs gulch pretty even, but as far as I know oath plays more dpp overall. I think vigs support in dpp looks a bit better.
ADV: BP vs Lily Lily had a tough game last week but didn’t play the matchup poorly. BP can do it but needs to exploit some of Lily’s comfort picks.
GSC: Estarossa vs torkonpeter torkonpeter looked like he played a bit safe after getting ahead in his game last week but by doing so let the game slip. Estarossa meanwhile might be the best overall gsc player in the tour.
RBY: Sabelette vs DiannieRatson I liked Sabalette’s teams better as they seemed more consistent. Maybe I don’t have a good read on the meta though.

:golett: The Gigantic Goletts (3) vs (7) Alt Girl Altarias :altaria:
SV: tom holland vs avarice 0-2 Tom is not real, and if it is after this week then I am cursing him most likely.
SV: SPHZ vs Micciu I loved micciu’s team from last week and they piloted it well.
SS: OranBerryBlissey10 vs Lyra good luck to lyra, but if OBB is mixing up styles well and catching opponents off guard like he did last week, he’s the scariest SS in this tour.
SM: Thiago Nunes vs MZ already happened, no idea who I would’ve picked
ORAS: etern vs asa Asa played a solid game last week while etern didn’t find his footing, I’m still excited to see etern play this week though.
BW: Cow vs Tack I trust tack to be motivated to build some heat this week.
DPP: JabbaTheGriffin vs Heysup he just wins
ADV: Plague vs nebi personal HL for me, 2 great in-game advers who appreciate a bit of team support. I’m going to lean nebi since I see some old gen players on the alt girls who can give good input.
GSC: SANKE CARP vs BloodAce close match, despite sanke losing last week the game was very close and well played on his end. Despite bloodace winning, they did have some good fortune that made it easier. I’ll go with bloodace since I think he’s a better overall player but the game should go down to the wire.
RBY: Wanted in 49 States vs AM not too sure honestly but I’ve seen wanted play more

back from popular demand

:vigoroth: Vigilante Vigoroths (4) vs (6) Psycho Scowlers :articuno-galar:
SV: Xiri vs Metallica126 - This should be a highlight SV game. Both have unique styles to their teams and both click well, should be a great game bar hax. Bolding Xiri still because he is the PU circuit champion.
SV: VyoletRayn vs Ampha - This should be a fun one, because VyoletRayn has proven to be a worthy opponent in SV, but I also know Ampha has a longer track-record, and is always randomly towards the top of the PU ladder. I think he has an edge but could very well see Vy cook something special that flips the matchup.
SS: Lambovino vs Kate another fun matchup, where I think Kate has the slight edge. Kate is a great clicker and will be wanting a win after last week, and Lambovino is going to put in the effort and make it a competitive game, I just don't know how much Lambo has played SS themself so the meta-knowledge may be even here.
SM: yandaud vs sugar ovens - I think it is fair to say sugar ovens is ready to bounce back from last week, and he has the capability to have a positive record still, just had a bad matchup last week. With the proper prep, sugar ovens has this but if yandaud manages to catch sugar ovens on matchup like last week, it could flip.
ORAS: 2xTheTap vs Vulpix03 -
If 2xTheTap has million fans, then I'm one of them.
If 2xTheTap has one fan, then I'm THAT ONE.
If 2xTheTap has no fans, that means I'm dead.
BW: Tizio Potente Ao vs LpZ - This should be fun, but if anyone can push through random Tizio bs that is a nightmare to prep for, it is LpZ. Very excited for this game though and to see what Tizio brings and if he can make his record 2-0.
DPP: Oathkeeper vs gulch Bolding gulch here for better overall PU knowledge but unsure how much either have played DPP PU in a teamtour setting.
ADV: BP vs Lily - Lily moment
GSC: Estarossa vs torkonpeter - Estarossa gaming woohoo
RBY: Sabelette vs DiannieRatson - I bold the RBYer, because I am not knowledgable on RBY.

:magby: M.A.A.D City Magby's (5) vs (5) Chungy Mongeys :ambipom:
SV: Feliburn vs Larry - Feliburn clocked my tea last week, he is gonaa clock Larry's tea this week
SV: DripLegend vs Bouff - Bouff had a strong game last week, while DripLegend brought an interesting team, but I did not see the vision.
SS: robjr vs TJ - TJ is definitely impressive in both SV and SS now from recently returning to tours. I think he can run with the momentum.
SM: Kiyo vs Hacker -Hacker I was impressed by last week. I already felt like he was a good clicker in SM, but thought his building was OKAY like sure its fine i guess ya know? But then he brought regice crack and capitalized off a great matchup with what he brought too, and I saw the vision. If Hacker continues cooking, I think he is an underrated threat in this crazy stacked pool. Kiyo I think is fine in SM, but he is in a stacked pool and will have to bring some better cooks.
ORAS: ManOfMany vs DugZa - MoM was impressive last week, and I think he is a contender for top of pool if he keeps up his building and clicking. It's DugZa though so it should be a fun and close game.
BW: EviGaro vs ninjadog - Evigaro clutched last week vs a formidable opponent, I can see the Evigaro winstreak begin here.
DPP: Drud vs BeatsBlack - Drud selfbought for a reason, and that is to win. He is top of pool probably, but he is vs a very tough opponent in BeatsBlack. Should be a fun game, perhaps highlight if you enjoy DPP.
ADV: Quarante8 vs zoowi -tough call, unsure of either's experience in this tier. Bolding zoowi due to his general familiarity with most PU tiers and active presence.
GSC: BeeOrSomething vs LustfulLice - Bee created a Noctowl miracle last week and flipped a game that looked out of his favor. With his clicking and great meta knowledge, I see a W for bee here.
RBY: NotVeryCake vs Maris Bonibell - Maris got lucked if I remember correctly from last week, so they will be back with vengeance.
 
won vs tizio gg
