Tournament DPL XII - Week 3

goldmason · Jul 6, 2026

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 managers know ASAP so they can communicate that to me or the other team's managers for a potential substitute.
Substitutions may be made after a week has 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.
Replays are mandatory. 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.
All replays MUST be public - this means no unlisting replays
Managers: Please send me your lineups in the same format that I used to post pairings. It makes it much easier to post future rounds more quickly.

SM & SS are kind of toss ups, but i think champs, bw, and nd should pretty safely go to storms this week. pig could definitely upset but feyy didnt lose last week so he'll be fine. if idyll loses to schister he'll suffer a generational aura loss

i will never bold against arcticblast in xy, even if they aren't locked in their luck stat always is. Ducks SV with code just mogs cold crew SV and i dont think its very close. Tere vs Ann & ratpacker vs akaru could go either way, really excited to see those two!

ND DOU: Voltix vs Knull : knull's first nddou game

Kunal · Jul 6, 2026

Darts vs Volcaronavgc - 80-20 i think darts will start winning at some point, hes pretty good at vgc. I also think volcaronavgc has shown a tendency to get psyched out when playing known big name players

Michaelderbeste2 vs EternalSnowman - 49-51 theres too many Michaels around, we gotta start wagering the rights to the name or something. Loser has to change their name here.

Thacrow vs SvenVGC - 40-60 Sven looked really good week 1, clearly managing the last 4 tours has not dampened his playing ability. I think the format is getting stable enough to start building out targeted counters to some of these meta zardy teams, so if there really is something out there that reliably beats big 6 and fari aero zard stuff I think Sven and Ink will be able to find it

Kunal vs dominicex - 0-100 I have like 3 tour matches to play this week, its too much for an old guy like me
