Records | Replays | Usage​

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

I can't sleep so yall getting these early as fuck.

:ambipom: Chungy Mongeys (4) vs (6) The Gigantic Goletts :golett:
SV: bleahey vs seraphz
Despite a loss to xiri last week, sphz has had a very strong season and while I love bleahey, he's frankly unproven in this slot.
SV: Bouff vs Hiko
Why is bouff actually doing well ugh
SS: TJ vs OranBerryBlissey10
Obb is crazy
SM: Hacker vs tom holland
SM tom is finally freed and i expect one hell of a game.
ORAS: Ming549 vs etern
Please ming stop this madness that is positive etern.
BW: skrimps vs Cow
Cool that skrimps is here, aren't they more of a dpp fella tho.
DPP: BeatsBlack vs Thiago Nunes
I trust in SM Thiago. Idk shit about dpp thiago, and beatsblack is very strong here.
ADV: zoowi vs Plague
Plague continues to impress ngl
GSC: LustfulLice vs gastlies
If anyone can somehow overthrow this lustful maniac it'll be bench-warmer gastlies that's for DAMN sure
RBY: Maris Bonibell vs Wanted in 49 States
Idk tbh. Good match.

:altaria: Alt Girl Altarias (6) vs (4) Psycho Scowlers :articuno-galar:
SV: avarice vs Metallica126
Idt avarice can get through an obstacle quite this tall
SV: Micciu vs cen344uu
Lowkey a highlight but I favor micciu here
SS: The Strap vs Kate
Losing to dugza is -1000 aura, Kate won last week so Kate here
SM: MZ vs sugar ovens
More confident in sugar in this slot, put your money where your mouth is dear MZ.
ORAS: asa vs Vulpix03
Just how I feel
BW: Tack vs LpZ
Obligatory bw pu joke lol
DPP: Heysup vs gulch
Heysup vs gulch amiright.
ADV: nebi vs Lily
Literally neither of you showed up last week i hope you both lose/j, real shit tho just going w my heart here cuz idk.
GSC: BloodAce vs torkonpeter
I think this tour has established bloodace as a gsc pu superpower.
RBY: AM vs DiannieRatson
Just think they've adapted to this new tier a bit better.
 
RBY: Sabelette vs NotVeryCake

Johning does seem to work as an antidote to chronic persistent negative rng. hooray sunday gaming

RBY: AM vs DiannieRatson

Is that the goat of RBY lower tiers

GSC: LustfulLice vs gastlies
Lice ended up as the gsc in 2 different teamcords with me and thus they are the goat, also, gastlies doesn't play GSC PU; she is decent at GSC OU, but I don't think that transfers over to PU success without some amount of play (one week does not count.)
RBY: Maris Bonibell vs Wanted in 49 States
Wanted originally thought we were not opponents this week. this gives me the aura advantage.

I appreciate your faith in me even if I don't for myself lol.
 
:vigoroth: Vigilante Vigoroths (4) vs (6) M.A.A.D City Magbys :magby:
SV: Xiri vs Feliburn - highlight alert, unfortunately did not get feli gaming last week but hoooly what a heater we have here. about equal in skill so giving it to xiri for the ribbon but this should be one hell of a game
SV: VyoletRayn vs 691 - as a wise man once said, i am not betting against the chinese until further notice
SS: Lambovino vs Kiyo - lambo's been very impressive so far in this tier while kiyo has not impressed me in any pu gen
SM: Estarossa vs robjr - HIGHLIGHT ALERT, rob's downfall in pupl was reusing old structures which left him open to more maverick builders like esta and sugar, will be very interesting to see if that repeats itself here.
ORAS: 2xTheTap vs ManOfMany - two oras mainers, giving it to many as i've liked his teams better than whatever tap packed last week
BW: Tizio Potente Ao vs EviGaro - tizio brings bullshit and evi's a tilter, this is a stomp regardless of which way it goes and it all depends on if tizio's tech lands or not.
DPP: yandaud vs Drud - yan impressed me last week but drud's losses have been exclusively due to shit luck and if he isn't totally demoralized i think he can get back in the saddle here with little issue
ADV: Soda_Eesti vs Quarante8 - people keep gassing up 48 so i'll believe the hype considering i've never seen soda play this tier.
GSC: Gallinova vs BeeOrSomething - i know gallinova has gsc knowledge in general but i'm not sure how familiar he is with pu. assuming neutral luck i'm giving it to bee but i'm rooting for galli.
RBY: Sabelette vs NotVeryCake - top 2 of pool, unfortunately in a very volatile tier. giving cake the edge since this could really go either way.

:ambipom: Chungy Mongeys (6) vs (4) The Gigantic Goletts :golett:
SV: bleahey vs seraphz - BLEAHEY FREED HALLELUJAH. unfortunately we have yet another pu cord mainer sent to the dogs. bleahey is good but seraphz has had more time to break this slot in so going w him.
SV: Bouff vs Hiko - hiko is a good overall sv player but bouff has better tier knowledge and is currently 3-0 so i'd be hard pressed to bold against them.
SS: TJ vs OranBerryBlissey10 - obb has been doing better than tj overall and his only loss was bringing stall in a gen where centiskorch exists so i will choose to believe in him.
SM: Hacker vs tom holland - mz nearly threw last week until hacker tossed it right back, but i also haven't seen tom play sm in a little while and he said his involvement in the slot has been relatively low so we'll see what happens
ORAS: Ming549 vs etern - "combined 3 games of oras experience in the last 5 years" - ishtar
BW: skrimps vs Cow - cow's been having a very rough time + skrimps goated
DPP: BeatsBlack vs Thiago Nunes - i don't expect beats to lose to a pass and play in this tier, not even a good one
ADV: zoowi vs Plague - plague is a better player but zoowi is a better builder (usually) and is luckier. as usual if zoowi brings good sauce he should be able to put up a fight.
GSC: LustfulLice vs gastlies - gastlies has very little experience in this tier and lice has been breaking it in for the past three weeks
RBY: Maris Bonibell vs Wanted in 49 States - even with the shitternet debuff i think maris is much better in this tier so far

7 new players this time, most ever introduced in a round besides the first

# of fights this round where both players are undefeated: none lol

# of fights this round where both players have never won:
also none ggs

# of players undefeated: 11 ->
6 left with a 3-0 record... and most expensive one of outta them is MZ (18k) didnt this guy also swear he was washed? yeah ok u might know mons but u dont know ur own worth
2 left with a 2-0 record, thats worth a mention

highest value fight:
SV: Xiri (25k 2-1) vs Feliburn (11.5k 1-1) - 36.5k value - at this point im convinced it will always be xiri even though it was really close to not being xiri this round tj vs oran is was 35.5k a shame, guess it doesnt matter since they played already i cant generate any hype for this

greatest value discrepancy fight:
ADV: nebi (5.5k 1-2) vs Lily (20.5k 1-1) - 15k discrepancy

out of 22 total 3k players, 8 are playing this time, down from... whatever I wrote last time I forget

Report
 
:vigoroth: Vigilante Vigoroths (0) vs (0) M.A.A.D City Magby's :magby:
SV: Xiri vs Feliburn Xiri’s zaniness could matchup well into feli’s honesty, Feli should pull up with an evil team. He usually uses bulky offense, but I have played him when he uses more crack offense and he is terrifying.
SV: VyoletRayn vs 691 691 smacked tene last week but Vy is also in good form, if 691 phones a friend for a metallica build I think he’s got this
SS: Lambovino vs Kiyo Lambo played a cerebral as fuck game last week, convinced me he can beat anyone here.
SM: Estarossa vs robjr Esta has the ability to out build here especially if the magbys feel they’re out of it.
ORAS: 2xTheTap vs ManOfMany Not familiar with oras so I did go back and rewatch both of their replays, both similar records but tap’s games have looked a bit cleaner and have been lost more to just playing a locked in opponent (etern had a masterclass game last week). MoM made some arguably suboptimal plays like staying in on clefairy twave with grumpig to trade 25% on it with psychic, because of this grumpig gets para’d on a crucial turn later.
BW: Tizio Potente Ao vs EviGaro I think we have a potential matchup where we see crack on both sides, Tizio has stronger crackhead energy in the mirror.
DPP: yandaud vs Drud Drud is favored in every dpp game he plays below the nu tier (no glaze).
ADV: Amity vs Quarante8 deadgaming adv pu should be punishable by firing squad, major
-aura. Amity put up a great showing in adv ru circuit the last few weeks, to me suggesting that they have cleaned up their in game. It will be Aurist prep vs. Amity prep and they are both going to be cteaming the shit out of each other.
GSC: Gallinova vs BeeOrSomething Ben is the chalk bet for most matchups this tour, but I have seen Gallinova in the Gsc lab in other tiers. He is a very thoughtful teambuilder with a solid understanding of how to make and deny progress in this gen. I will still bold bee because I’m not trying to curse Galli in his gsc pu debut.
RBY: Sabelette vs NotVeryCake Sabalette looks to be cruising


:altaria: Alt Girl Altarias vs Psycho Scowlers :articuno-galar:
SV: avarice vs Metallica126 both great but Metallica has been packing me up in test games
SV: Micciu vs cen344uu don’t know much about either besides recent stuff, I’m counting on Tony to work a good angle here vs micciu’s (Lambo’s :haha:) teams
SS: The Strap vs Kate The Strap’s game was very close last week, I wasn’t sure if strap’s gigalith just didn’t have a rock move or if that last play vs dugza was just a read/50/50. Point is, he’s been playing well. Kate also had quite a nice game, but given strap was playing gigaslash and Kate had terrain his brings seem a bit more consistent.
SM: MZ vs sugar ovens MZ is the second strongest solider of the #DROPTHEPRICE movement behind bouff, so he will be throwing this week. Good choice in opponents for this task, can probably make it look like a legit loss.
ORAS: asa vs Vulpix03 asa played a very clean game last week and preserved her monferno until the absolute last moment, good trigger finger and I imagine she’s feeling pretty conifident about beating anyone at this point.
BW: Tack vs LpZ nothing has changed since last week when lpz looked like the best player.
DPP: Heysup vs gulch Heysup is a good preppper in bo1, and he builds some annoying teams to play against. His style will give gulch some trouble this week
ADV: nebi vs Lily nebi needed to sub out and Lily didn’t play, karma and aura both even. nebi can make very offensive plays and sometimes runs circles around his opponents. I don’t think Lily is the type of player to really let that happen, and if the matchup is playable, the game will be decided on Lily’s ability to call out some of nebi’s plays.
GSC: BloodAce vs torkonpeter Bloodace put himself in a favorable position to win last week, but didn’t quite stomp on his opponent’s neck and let Lice come back into the game with a timely crit. I think he can clean those plays up, and Lyra has graciously decided to help him prepare.
RBY: AM vs DiannieRatson Drat
