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

:altaria: Alt Girl Altarias (0) vs (0) Psycho Scowlers :articuno-galar:
SV: LOOR vs Metallica126
Loor is good, but I think metallica is just better and more used to the tier right now
SV: Ryu vs cen344uu
SS: The Strap vs Kate
This'll be a good one but i give the edge to THE STRAP this time.
SM: MZ vs sugar ovens
MZ has just been fairly consistent record wise so, wouldn't be shocked to see him pull this out
ORAS: avarice vs Vulpix03
Idk if pix is rlly feelin it after last week, avarice has been kicked from SV and as such has something to prove.
BW: Baddy vs LpZ
I can't bid against lpz rn..i need phil-dicts accuracy
DPP: Heysup vs gulch
Sorry gulch, heysup is solidly at the top of this pool to no one's surprise
ADV: nebi vs Lily
Deja vu here cuz my opinion is identical, I think nebi still being fresher gives them an edge.
GSC: BloodAce vs torkonpeter
RBY: AM vs DiannieRatson
When this tour began i regarded these 2 as the bottom of this pool, while idt i was wrong i will say I've been particularly impressed with AMs performance.

Hopefully the last phil-dicts of pubd if this week goes how i want.
Ill still do predicts for finals if we aren't in them.
 
Lambo asked for Tuthur predicts, so here they are. They are most likely terrible as I've not watched a single game and as Shake wannabe, I'm only basing myself off the sheet.

:ambipom: Chungy Mongeys (8) vs (2) Vigilante Vigoroths :vigoroth:
SV: Larry vs Xiri - Both players didn't play much this tournament. I think Xiri's experience with the tier is not going to be enough against Mongey's really good SV and Larry being a really good pilot that I would rate higher than Xiri.
SV: Bouff vs VyoletRayn - Sorry Rayan, but Bouff is on a win streak.
SS: TJ vs Lambovino - Andréas is undefeated in SS, while TJ had a harder time. TJ has a higher ceiling so if he gives himself the means, he surely can do it.
SM: Hacker vs Estarossa - guts feeling
ORAS: DugZa vs 2xTheTap - Vigs are 1-4 in ORAS
BW: ninjadog vs Tizio Potente Ao - higher ceiling as a player and probably familiar enough with the tier to cook something gimmick proof
DPP: BeatsBlack vs Oathkeeper - BB is positive while Oathkeeper is 0-1 in the tier.
ADV: zoowi vs DD Joe - zoowi is more experienced, while Vigs are 0-5 in the tier and DD Joe hasnt played any game in the tier.
GSC: LustfulLice vs Gallinova - Undefeated vs winless.
RBY: Maris Bonibell vs Sabelette - I trust more Sabelette's ability to lock in and go playoff mod.

:altaria: Alt Girl Altarias (5) vs (4) Psycho Scowlers :articuno-galar:
SV: LOOR vs Metallica126 - Metallica is quite fire
SV: Ryu vs cen344uu - im not very familiar with either player, but cen344 seems a bit above.
SS: The Strap vs Kate - dominant season vs terrible season, though Kate is not be underestimated and this is surely closer than records make it seem
SM: MZ vs sugar ovens - same as above
ORAS: avarice vs Vulpix03 - pix has been dominant, while avarice hasn't played ORAS at all so far, while asa went slightly negative
BW: Baddy vs LpZ - BW PU
DPP: Heysup vs gulch - Heysup is really dominant afaik
ADV: nebi vs Lily - same as SS
GSC: BloodAce vs torkonpeter - they've got almost the same record and idk enough tbf
RBY: AM vs DiannieRatson - what Maris said

Assuming tiebreaks:
:ambipom: Chungy Mongeys (2) vs (1) Vigilante Vigoroths :vigoroth:
SV: Bouff vs Xiri
SS: DugZa vs Lambovino
ADV: zoowi vs Oathkeeper

SS is Vigs only good tier beside RBY which is quite risky given the variance in RBY Lower Tiers and Maris being really good too. zoowi as a tiebreak player sounds scary, so I could see them going for another option, but tbf Vigoroth ADV seems really terrible and it's hard to believe they'd pick anything else.

:altaria: Alt Girl Altarias (1) vs (2) Psycho Scowlers :articuno-galar:
SV: asa vs Metallica126
ORAS: MZ vs Vulpix03
DPP: Heysup vs LpZ

asa not being featured on the lineup was very surprising as they are a better player than both Ryu and LOOR imo. Hoping they'd play tiebreak if necessary, this might be very close, but imagining Metallica keeps momentum from their great season. Conflicted on Scowler's tiebreak choice, given they are lower seed, I think they'd keep LpZ as the attacker and go for Pix's great ORAS record, even if it's seems less safe than BW. LpZ flexing in DPP just seems safer than Pix having to play classic gens against nebi or Heysup. Heysup seems like a more natural choice for a tiebreak option than nebi and The Strap imo, so going with that.

As everyone's been asking for it , heres an articuno papercraft i found on Pinterest, no need to thank me. Go team!

Might as well predict to make this serious post even more serious

:ambipom: Chungy Mongeys (6) vs (4) Vigilante Vigoroths :vigoroth:
SV: Larry vs Xiri idk
SV: Bouff vs VyoletRayn coughing baby vs rayn but this baby owns a gun
SS: TJ vs Lambovino Labmo in 2
SM: Hacker vs Estarossa idk
ORAS: DugZa vs 2xTheTap fire ass name
BW: ninjadog vs Tizio Potente Ao bros gonna win and its gonna be funny as fuck
DPP: BeatsBlack vs Oathkeeper idk
ADV: zoowi vs DD Joe who is joe , why is he in adv and why will he 6-0 zoowi
GSC: LustfulLice vs Gallinova bro just wins
RBY: Maris Bonibell vs Sabelette g1 to sab/g2 early gg into maris, g3 hax into tour ban
 
:ambipom: Chungy Mongeys (5) vs (5) Vigilante Vigoroths :vigoroth:
SV: Larry vs Xiri xiri goat (2-1)in SV even the one L he took was due unfortunate hax but I’m favoring xiri here
SV: Bouff vs VyoletRayn thats definitely tough choice I know vyoletrayn eliminated Bouff recently in winter seasonal and bouff killing it in this tournament (4-0) , I’m going with Vy is anyone can stop Bouff win streak it would be Vy or his goated teammate aka xiri
SS: TJ vs Lambovino Chrollo Lucilfer vs prince bojji another highlight imo TJ and lambo both are top 5 SS players period , I rank TJ as the best SS PU player out there imo also imo if there’s a name that can stop lambo win streak (4-0) in this tier it would be TJ both are goated , but that’s a Hard pick
SM: Hacker vs Estarossa esta impressed me in the week that esta won (1-2) overcoming a horrible simi match up was very impressive.
And this a rematch from last week when Estrossa got a lucky scald burn and hacker got even a luckier crit , extra sac would have made the different there I think estrossa needed to choke that end game to lose that one .
You all need to use scarf dodrio more in this tier give it a shot and thank me later
ORAS: DugZa vs 2xTheTap even when 2x (1-2) that imo doesn’t reflect how good x2 is , like he was one focus blast away from winning a week and in other week he got first scald burnt first static touch para the game easily could have went the other way around wasn’t for that 30% always come back to bite x2 almost every time
and DugZagoat is extremely good player wins everywhere too so both of them is too nice
I might be little bit biased going with 2x
This definitely a highlight and worth watching
BW: ninjadog vs Tizio Potente Ao ninjadog very good Tizio also impressive im favoring ninjadog here
DPP: BeatsBlack vs Oathkeeper I haven’t seen oath play DPP before tbh , beatsblack doing very well
ADV: zoowi vs DD Joe more like DD Joker
DD just very comfortable navigating from tier to tier and pulling upsets ,Zoowi is a beast too in this tier have more wins than losses. Tough one
GSC: LustfulLice vs Gallinova (4-0) vs (0-4) odds in lustfullice favor but that’s mons anything can happen
RBY: Maris Bonibell vs Sabelette conformant enough to bold themselves out, having the records to back it up , I’m not arguing against that

Dang I made this a tie , oh well good luck with the tiebreaker

:altaria: Alt Girl Altarias (5) vs (5) Psycho Scowlers :articuno-galar:
SV: LOOR vs Metallica126 going Metallica
Baloor is powerful too Metallica have very consistent record as of recently solid SV player one of the best ever
SV: Ryu vs cen344uu im feeling cen3 in this one
SS: The Strap vs Kate the strap going 3-0 and Kate not having the best tournament
Skysolo having a very convincing tournament so far solid SS run
SM: MZ vs sugar ovens hard for me to bold against mz although both are main Pu’er and extremely solid SM players
ORAS: avarice vs Vulpix03 pix goat is (4—1) losing only to the other goat im either having a hard time to see why avarice in this slot or I’m too bad at stating the obvious.
BW: Baddy vs LpZ BW PU <==> :gogoat:enough said
DPP: Heysup vs gulch nothing much to add here either, Heysup just like LPZ two anchor players best of the best in their respective tiers .
ADV: nebi vs Lily going Lilly even tho Lily not having the best tournament but I’m still going with Lilly
GSC: BloodAce vs torkonpeter hard to elaborate I don’t watch this tier although this strictly based on record vs record
RBY: AM vs DiannieRatson can’t even Bold against AM after that godlike post they made

Bro another tie smh
Welp good luck on the tiebreaker too

There’s a notification popped on my screen
Could be TJ played his game already

Other than that you all goated and legends best of luck to all
