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 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.
• 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.

MM (4) vs (4) SRN

SV MnM: zuzhouwawa (60) vs (40) sky
zuzhouwawa is on fire
SV MnM: RoFnA (49) vs (51) Time2Bonk
rof is loading w/e as usual and lost to pannu so im predicting an upset here (dont let me down bonk)
SV MnM: lepton (60) vs (40) cat
lepton smoked me once and i havent been smoked by cat (yet?)
SS MnM: Ineros (40) vs (60) Osake
osake got 6-0d by a skewda but id still give it to him. ineros is good but figuring the meta out in <a week is not gna be easy
SM MnM: Mincera31 (60) vs (40) Shadow079
i dont think mince has been displaying the best gameplay but beat me so i have to bold him
ORAS MnM: Pokemh (49) vs (51) Ainzcrad
nice win from ainzcrad last wk i liked that team more than what he had been loading the past wks
SV LC MnM: giove97 (49) vs (51) pecha nerd
pecha nerd pulled an upset over quinn so im betting on him to do it again
Multigen Bo3 (SV/SS/SM): Treeko928 (65) vs (35) Concept
good performance from treeko, im not a fan of concept teams they just end up being like 4 ubers + 2 shitmons most of the time

MNM (5) vs (3) PP

SV MnM: Betticus IV (49) vs (51) TKYSZL
both are strong but ill give it to tky coz i have a feeling betticus will end up getting 6-0d by a random zyg mon
SV MnM: Slikkles (51) vs (49) Mindnight
dis noob not winning go slikkles
SV MnM: ghostlike (60) vs (40) GhastlyPixie
ghost has been loading some insane shit this tour
SS MnM: Ivar57 (51) vs (49) Redflix
tough to predict this. will give it to ivar but could go either way
SM MnM: TrainerGoldAlt (60) vs (40) db
db has been struggling and gold is on a rampage. i think gold would load a better team and outplay
ORAS MnM: dhelmise (40) vs (60) Terracotta
terracotta has been doing well and has better support
SV LC MnM: Quinn (60) vs (40) qtfox
i dont think quinn is dropping another game
Multigen Bo3 (SV/SS/SM): Clas (49) vs (51) QT
hype. tough to predict. i think qt will load some balance with a zyg mon and espeeder while Clas will load zyg deo/chimecite/more creative stuff in sv. i have a feeling clas mons will end up getting walled by qt's defensive core tho so ill have to give sv to qt. ill give SM to clas cuz i like his teams more. SS i think clas will probably try to win with solg but qt will prep for it with like heatran and zygarde so idk if itll work. ill predict qt to win the series but i wouldnt be surprised if clas wins

[Shing]

35W(+9) | 29L(+12) | 9(+3) Invalid - Took a lot more errors this week, how exciting. Last week was much closer, and while the Mages did have the right outcome of 5-3, the predictions on the players were not precise lmao. Still positive, but barely.

MOCCing Machamps (3) vs (5) Sol Raizing Necrozmas
SV MnM: zuzhouwawa vs sky - I don't think Zuzhou is going to lose until you give them top players like QT and hayedenn, so this will be another sweep.
SV MnM: RoFnA vs Time2Bonk - Time2bonk will cook and win this week.
SV MnM: lepton vs cat
SS MnM: Ineros vs Osake - Pretty sure I haven't seen them in MNM pool, but I think they are fundamentally good(?) and I think there will be an upset here.
SM MnM: Mincera31 vs Shadow079 - Better game knowledge/intuition vs someone that's a bit more fundamentally better in general. IMO this can be close, but if someone provides Shadow the right knowledge, I think he will sweep pretty hard.
ORAS MnM: Pokemh vs Ainzcrad
SV LC MnM: giove97 vs pecha nerd - Cooked vs quinn pretty gives me high confidence on pecha nerd ngl.
Multigen Bo3 (SV/SS/SM): Treeko928 vs Concept - At this point, Treeko isn't going to lose, and he seemslike someone who has the ability to gatekeep the weaker players pretty hard.

Sleepy Suicunes (5) vs (3) Ironhide Great Tusks
SV MnM: pannu vs kDCA - Pannu proved me wrong last week, but I'm still kDCA to win over Pannu in a like (67:33 to kDCA) type of ratio tbh.
SV MnM: mm vs hayedenn - This is a highkey 80:20 for hayedenn's favour if you wanna be objective, but as I said in w1 Hayedenn will lose the last weeks.
SV MnM: Nakoruru_XD vs seraphz - Hopefully Seraphz is not losing to Voltturn Slops, and he will be fine :)
SS MnM: HATS vs Axzel - Axzel's too busy with SPL, and even if it's likely for him to win vs HATS, I feel like he's gonna get a team with a bad mu while HATS gets another win.
SM MnM: zastra vs jb291 - Zastra gaming.
ORAS MnM: Glory vs qways - qways will be winning on here at this point ngl.
SV LC MnM: Novax vs bleahey - Novax is more dedicated to LC MnM, so it's very obvious win here imo.
Multigen Bo3 (SV/SS/SM): damflame 3 vs Sagazinha

Magearna Never Misses (2) vs (6) Pressing Poisonceuses
SV MnM: Betticus IV vs TKYSZL
SV MnM: Slikkles vs Mindnight
SV MnM: ghostlike vs GhastlyPixie
SS MnM: Ivar57 vs Redflix - Goty highlight, but Redflix is gonna bring smth to punish Ivar's reuse teams that Ivar, but they will be close considering both of them are close in skill, so you will see them either have a wincon setup or last mon type of endgame.
SM MnM: TrainerGoldAlt vs db - Dawg Derpyboi if you lose another prediction, I'll haunt your ass.
ORAS MnM: dhelmise vs Terracotta - Ain't gonna lie, this is like an 80:20 type of matchup for Terracotta.
SV LC MnM: Quinn vs qtfox - 51:49 MU for qtfox, I can feel it.
Multigen Bo3 (SV/SS/SM): Clas vs QT - Goty player mu af. I think QT will win here, but Clas can manage to win here in a dominant fashion. It's just highly dependent on how the matchups will go since both players approach the game in a very objective way, where trying to outplay is going to be difficult bc how both of them build their teams. Just the problem is how much experience Clas has in SM, and if QT can use their knowledge to surprise Clas's knowledge and punish their supposed "layer 1-2" sequences due to Clas's limited time on SM. Very exciting matchup either way, and I wonder how they will prepare their sequences for the matchups in order to win each respective tier.
