Rules
  • Follow all rules listed here.​
  • Schedule via Smogon VMs. It's easier for us to make decisions for activity calls when we can actually see what went down with scheduling.​
  • If you are unable to schedule with your opponent, please let your managers know ASAP so they can communicate that to us or the other team's managers for a potential substitute.​
  • Substitutions may be made after a week as started. When making a substitution, please tag myself, the managers 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. They're also required.​

NOBODY else did predicts so...

Game Corner Gholdengos (2) vs (6) Balding Baltoys
SV: Elvira vs Fraolain - will be fun to watch but frol1 has the upper prep hand here i believe
SV: Aeran vs Tuff Tuff - aeran will be motivated to win on the big stage, i guess this is considered an upset
SV: Gtcha vs LoSconosciuto - trich gasses loscono up... will they be all that?
SV: King Choco vs Dieu Amphibien - my boy choco is gonna see that dieu only plays like 3 types and make the correct team choice
SS: Rinda vs maki - maki has just been consistently good, they haven't dropped a game in an mpl in a really long time
SM: Xiri vs terrors - i know xiri is familiar w/ sm mono but terrors showed tf up in mwp after scraping off the rust and he will continue to do so
ORAS: zIcarus vs Jojo8868 - surely he locked himself in oras to farm the pool... right?
BW: Gondra vs DAHLI - this one could viably be a tossup but dahli did win in bw in mwp... so do i see his logic here

Hearthome Honchkrows (6) vs (1) Bell Tower Braves
SV: Larry vs Rio Vidal - does anyone else remember that game from last mpl where it was gravity and balloon and leru didn't really know the mechanic? hopefully something like that doesn't happen here
SV: Tarre25 vs Fusien - i think fusien will eventually figure it out in mono but tarre definitely has the advantage in week 1 since he just has way more experience
SV: clean vs LBN - i hate doing tossups but both are just too solid of players and have had great mono tours as well
SV: avarice vs feen - avarice gets his wish of SVing and will make the most of it
SS: One Last Kiss vs TJ - when ss was cg, tj performed quite well
SM: Splash vs Tenebricite - mr "semi-retired" will be able to eek out a win here
ORAS: Foolycl vs CyberOdin✝ - idrk either of these 2 but i think fooly has more oras mono experience
BW: Sabella vs Jolly Togekiss - a little birdie told me that JT wasn't originally planning to be the BWer for this team...

Straw Hatterenes (4) vs (4) Trick House Treeckos
SV: Leafium Z vs cpt.kraken - this one is going to be close... both are fun to watch!
SV: Azick vs RoyalReloaded - royal is my boy but idk if he's gonna be able to pull this one off... azick is just too sharp right now and i learned that first hand in the ssnls finals
SV: Stories vs yedla - i am picking the non mainer here cuz she was just able to keep providing dubs for her team in mwp and can definitely keep that trend up
SV: Boomenheimer vs Sificon - experience diff
SS: dunoks vs Shiba - he might win this one and all his other games but he ain't beating dugza week 5
SM: Dj Breloominati♬ vs Wincon - wincon was the goat in monotype for at least a year... but that time has passed
ORAS: SEA vs Ashbala - im taking bala in an upset over an oras mainer person
BW: Cow vs crash - he will def have the prep down... but will luck favor him?

we're in for a real fun tour this year y'all, gl everyone and go dreamchasers!
 
Melemele Meloettas (4) vs (4) Driftveil Dreamchasers
SV: RoFnA vs Floss - Experience + lack of Arctozolt in SV gives floss an edge
SV: QWILY vs adjustments - Adj is on his all-time high and despite his finals showing, i think he's the favored here
SV: Masskeau vs twinkay - Been a massive fan of Masskeau since last MPL and I think he has all it takes to go ultra positive
SV: blittius vs crow crumbs
SS: Cielau vs DugZa - Dugza is better overall, but Cielau is better in SS... can really go either way
SM: Toadow vs Hacker - Hacker is a great clicker but Toadow is a monster and has SM experience
ORAS: Magician vs fade
BW: Gelbel3c vs Dusk - I don't know who Gelbel's opp is

Game Corner Gholdengos (4) vs (4) Balding Baltoys
SV: Elvira vs Fraolain - More solid player, me thinks
SV: Aeran vs Tuff Tuff
SV: Gtcha vs LoSconosciuto
SV: King Choco vs Dieu Amphibien
SS: Rinda vs maki - Vodoom will bully Maki into destroying Rinda :(
SM: Xiri vs terrors
ORAS: zIcarus vs Jojo8868 - Cup winner Jojo about to go X-0 regardless of gen
BW: Gondra vs DAHLI

Hearthome Honchkrows (5) vs (2) Bell Tower Braves
SV: Larry vs Rio Vidal
SV: Tarre25 vs Fusien - Tarre is very motivated and I'm sure hes able to put up a great record
SV: clean vs LBN - LBN for 5k was a MASSIVE steal, she got to top 6 and went X-0 for our team last team
SV: avarice vs feen
SS: One Last Kiss vs TJ
SM: Splash vs Tenebricite
ORAS: Foolycl vs CyberOdin✝
BW: Sabella vs Jolly Togekiss - Sabella is a monster in BW, JT will have to play the game of his life
 
None of this should be taken to heart.

SS: Cielau vs DugZa
Both look like they're in the wrong tier, but this is likely ignorance on my part, both are competent. Dugza puts in more effort imo and should def come out on top here.
 SM: Toadow vs Hacker
Im happy to see my boy play some monotype, as solid offense a player I think he is I think toadow has the results and overall experience over him that should result in a clear cut win. Im a fan of his sm so looking forward to this set.
ORAS: Magician vs fade
My 2 sons who I of course have to glaze. Magician pulled a couple magic tricks after making masters top cut in mwp with not only a 6-3 record but with 2 wins in playoffs. Fade had one of the best records in mwp with 3 wins in playoffs, 1 being a tiebreak. With a 16-3 record(something like that?) In oras across 2 tours hopefully we don't see any dj breloominutella(this half a bit love u bro) or mojojojojo911 glazers about who the best ORAS mono player is.

With that being said, I can assure you magic doesn't know anything about this tier, and fade has no builder so this game isn't worth watching. Going with the more proven guy for optics tho.

SS: Rinda vs maki
I Hate protagonists, although he can play. I think he's at least top 5 ss on a good day, and rinda has had a slight fall from grace imo.
SM: Xiri vs terrors
Even though he had a couple blunders terrors impressed me in mwp. He played most of his games well for the most part. I don't have much memory of xiri tbh i think he does ok in these. Anyones game but i like terrors more after his recent performance
ORAS: zIcarus vs Jojo8868
Google "Unique raising kanan"

SS: dunoks vs Shiba
Had both on my draft plan at a point. Krows management think dunoks is sheist and more importantly self sufficient. Maybe this is overblown cause of cup though, Shiba is def good enough and more proven ngl. Changing my bold in real time actually
SM: Dj Breloominati♬ vs Wincon
Quick monotype history lesson: In Wincons break out tour, he was called trash by the Monotype jerk and many other outsiders. That mpl he then went on to farm some of the best ever with relative ease (Seager, Leru, eien, ect all which shit talked him) he crashed down to earth later but it was nice to see unessesary hating punished. This guy was def one of the better sm players, but that was like 6 years ago LOL so I'm going with dj who has been solid lately.
ORAS: SEA vs Ashbala
Scoot Scoot
