On subs - If you do not have a team, you are welcome to post "in as free agent" or something similar. If you get picked up for a team, great! If not, you will be added to a list of players called the Substitute List.

Predicts based on Team names and group AURA:

suspiciously grass-themed monkeys  vs  The (Free) Agency
UU 1v1: Mishlef vs Spenceair
NatDex 1v1: RADU vs Anonymous1634
LC 1v1: DripLegend vs torterraxx

At first glance, the not Thwackeys seem to have it all: experinece, swag, a live italian with an e-girlfriend (factually stated by drip in the discord art channel; thanks again for the great commission she made me btw :), and even Radu's ca with the Cacnea combined with Drip's ca with Aipom fuse for a semi grass monkey. However, at second glance...... yea they win this. Funny though with spenceair profile of a bulbasaur and torterraxx being... torterra has more grass synergy.

The Senate  vs  two and a half women
UU 1v1: Sificon vs The Hisui Region
NatDex 1v1: Iron Crusher vs dreepy
LC 1v1: Felucia vs TheIronPikachu

Sificon and Felucia, known for the unique mons theyve used in 1v1 over the years, from maskless ogerpon to felucia's infernape, are a competent duo with iron crusher's immense knowledge of the meta able to cement and support the team name they gave themselves. But can the government morally beat 2 and 1/2 women? Probably ye.

Fraud³  vs  This Fraud, That Fraud and The Otter Fraud
UU 1v1: Marvin1 vs ZackPalace
NatDex 1v1: Podra vs cakeezz swag edition
LC 1v1: RTM vs PokeOtter

Key to success for this matchup is to identify the most fradulent fraud amongst these frightenly frivolent fraudsters, which is pretty obvious if you check their profile images: the winner is ZackPalace, with their imitation of Felucia's profile pic. Did they want to commit identify theft? Dwight wouldn't find that funny.........also Zack considers themselves to be a bit of a clown, as seen in their smogon about section, sooooooo the Otter Fraud team wins this.

two and a half indians  vs  The eepy eevees
UU 1v1: recti vs bern
NatDex 1v1: Mentality vs Kry
LC 1v1: Mcthelegit vs Murm

Recti is the star player in my opinion, but I can't really tell who the half indian is in this team (editor note, this sentence makes no sense, i literally just wrote whatever came to my head). Mentality and Mcthelegit are a strong duo, but can they speak up above the Kry(ies), Murm(uring), and the squacking (Bern's cramorant) of the other team? Find out in Bollywood's next featuee film:
Geeta rect, or Geeta out.

Murphy's law^2  vs  Tzatziki Tiramisu Titans
UU 1v1: The God of 1v1 ❄ vs Nunnbetter
NatDex 1v1: Shivam_Z vs Close
LC 1v1: Arcanine1929 vs Lialiabeast

"Anything that can go wrong will go wrong" taken to the 2nd power basically cancels itself out or doubles the infinite possibilities. Which outcome will they see, just wait and forsee it. On the other hand, tzatziki paired with tiramisu is a refreshing, yet bold dish to name oneself, and with that boldness emerges these titans. Will the titans take over Olympus (get it tzatziki is greek yogurt) or will the God of 1v1, Indian Shazam, and a 94-year old guy reveal why none can beat Murphy' law????

2 and a half men  vs  Three and a half men
UU 1v1: zioziotrip vs Blanched
NatDex 1v1: zo vs D2TheW
LC 1v1: DannyDoritos vs Fragments

2 and a half men are down a man when compared to Three and a half men cause 3.5 - 2.5 = 1.0 but is it really when half a man isnt considered a man? But what is a man? A single man? A man? Man?
Man team names used to be creative, nowadays, its like their only half the creativity, get it?, Get It?, GET IT?? CAUSE THERE'S ONLY HALF A MAN TO THINK OF CREATIVE TEAM NAMES??? wink wink nudge nudge, keeps nudging till you are half the man u were. Um Danny and Blanched are the highlights.

The free agents  vs  the the
UU 1v1: Arpitraj0 vs delemon
NatDex 1v1: Allan2004 vs glitched
LC 1v1: Strictsceptile vs happysh

The free agents vs the the vs The free agents vs the the vs The free agents vs the the vs The free agents vs the the vs The free agents vs the the vs The free agents vs the the vs The free agents vs the the vs The free agents vs the the.
ie: group of random players come up with a more fitting name than 1v1s top players. Can't believe they didn't name themselves something about pineapples, cats, or deers. Wyrdeer isn't mad, happysh. Just disapppinted. Just...delemon. (get it? Lol, i crack myself up. Up top! ((High fives self while at work)))

Oupi Goupi Goomys  vs  The Byes
UU 1v1: LongRat vs Bye 1
NatDex 1v1: UwU1v1 vs Bye 2
LC 1v1: Akeras vs Bye 3

FINALLY! FREAKING, FFFIIIINNNNAAAALLLYYYY!!!!!! A team name that is creative, downright full of team spirit and heart, and it only took the last pair of teams for something so beautiful to appear. Longrat, voted 2024 Rookie of the Year and active 1v1 community member that many find to be genuinely fun to be around. UwU, a top player who made it to 2024 champs with creative teams I no doubt assume were cultivated through countless hours on ladder. Last but certainly well above the least, Akeras brings the whole team together with their experince and fundmaentals of SV 1v1. Together, nothing can stop these 3 lads. Nothing! Not even...... oh wait, they fight The Byes..... nevermind this is a wash: 3-0 For Bye 2 and Bye 3 and a close 3-2 for Bye 1.
Bye bye Goomys.
