  • 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.

TTK predicts again!

Trick House Treeckos (0) vs (0) Tyrannical Tinkatons
SV: Larry vs Dieu Amphibien - French bias
SV: rs vs Mada - Last week I bolded against "rolling stones" but honestly, idk who wins this. I'll let /pick decide
1717983478269.png

SV: adjustments vs Chaitanya - Treeckos adjusting their lineup by putting adjustments in SV after their unfortunate game last week in SS. Chait's game was pretty goofy last week so I have a bit more faith in adjusts.
SV: Azick vs Fraolain - Azick has begun to lock in, he will win this then lose to me in Poor Man's Mono finals.
SS: King Choco vs Rinda - Who's the other guy?
SM: LuckyPiper vs QWILY - Both coming in on losses but I think Piper has this.
ORAS: Suspensse vs juleocesar - Treecko's ORAS is 0-2 rn and suspensse is also 0-2, third time's the charm they say (at losing)
BW: crash vs North - I have no intention of bolding against crash.

Tohjo Falls Thunders (0) vs (0) Goldenrod Gengars
SV: maroon vs mind gaming - yea I'm not bolding against mind gaming.
SV: Railgun vs clean - Goes either way I believe
SV: cpt.kraken vs achimoo - From my knowledge, kraken should have experience advantage.
SV: dunoks vs Neko - dunoks played better than me last week, Neko is consistent enough but I think the mono main diff would help more here.
SS: MichaelderBeste2 vs Thiago Nunes - I can't see him losing.
SM: DAHLI vs Attribute - Attribute isn't negative rn.
ORAS: tier vs twinkay - Both went up vs fade and I think twinkay played better.
BW: Splash vs Meta

Zero Isle Zoroarks (0) vs (0) Bell Tower Braves
SV: Scarfire vs Fírnen - both are coming in 1-1 and would rather not be 1-2 by the end of this. Leaning towards Scarlet
SV: Leafium Z vs Xiri - Leaf got this.
SV: Elyoss vs Mihowk
SV: Sificon vs avarice
SS: Hurtadoo vs hellom
SM: DugZa vs Mateeus -they got the staravia man out of hiding, please cook.
ORAS: Dj Breloominati♬ vs Tenebricite - They place Tenebricite in ORAS when they're currently 2-0 in SM. Perhaps they can translate their success in the generation prior.
BW: ikiarihS vs Feaniix

bringing back the beloved sapphiree predicts cuz predicts have been BOZO so far
orange are highlights

Trick House Treeckos (2) vs (6) Tyrannical Tinkatons
SV: Larry vs Dieu Amphibien - bolding the tier mainer here, safe choice (40/60)
SV: rs vs Mada - shiba has more experience and frankly i want to see more vodoom malding (55/45)
SV: adjustments vs Chaitanya - you dont go 20k+ for no reason really, adjustments need to up his game this week if he hopes to win (35/65)
SV: Azick vs Fraolain - frol will bring something unconventional and catch azick off-guard (45/55)
SS: King Choco vs Rinda - rinda is going to load his comfort picks henceforth which puts him at a great advantage than week 1 (30/70)
SM: LuckyPiper vs QWILY - piper will mistake reuniclus for a clefable again (40/60)
ORAS: Suspensse vs juleocesar - juleo will sack his wincon early and get scolded by vodoom (60/40)
BW: crash vs North - insane mu, super hard to predict here but i'll go with the cup winner (49/51)
(another 2-6 loss for treeckos is extremely detrimental so i hope they persevere somehow)

Tohjo Falls Thunders (4) vs (4) Goldenrod Gengars
SV: maroon vs mind gaming - mg has the momentum in his favor, and gengars made a flashy comeback last week (40/60)
SV: Railgun vs clean - bolding against a fellow fairy hurts, but luisin is in his prime. surprised he isnt playing ss but hes dominating here too so who cares (60/40)
SV: cpt.kraken vs achimoo - with sylvi abandoning the tour, achimoo no longer has emotional support (60/40)
SV: dunoks vs Neko - dunoks will pet the catto and probably click better (60/40)
SS: MichaelderBeste2 vs Thiago Nunes - fun mu between two non-mainers, its not a highlight for me at least but i think mb2 clicks better (55/45)
SM: DAHLI vs Attribute - going purely based off gut here + the fact that bala knows dahli well and bala-attri has a higher chance to persevere here (49/51)
ORAS: tier vs twinkay - the fairies will win (40/60)
BW: Splash vs Meta - meta is my goat and in general the better bw player (40/60)
(gengars comeback is real after 1-7 week 1)

Melemele Meloettas (7) vs (1) Hearthome Honchkrows
SV: Cielau vs TTK - cielau is clever and has more wins under his belt, safe choice (60/40)
SV: Floss vs Tarre25 - floss is a solid opponent, he beat scarfire last week too in what seemed like a close game, this might be a relatively easier mu for him since tarre is comparitively less experienced (60/40) (subbed)
SV: Masskeau vs yedla - france gaming, yedla has been favored in the past before by other predictors and whatnot so i shall do the same for him (45/55)
SV: feen vs style.css - style builds better but feen clicks better (55/45)
SS: schwipper vs 3d - 3d will probably end up trolling this match (60/40)
SM: Toadow vs Gondra - another really good mu, my gut says toadow has a slight edge here but i cant say for certain. (51/49)
ORAS: drizzle vs fade - will favor the cup winner here, altho it was sm cup that he won i'm p sure he made semis and has the momentum (60/40)
BW: Gelbel3c vs Sabella - gelbel knows how to cook, i think thats his greatest asset and along with the frenchies i'm sure they can come up with an unconventional win here (51/49)
(7-1 is an unlikely predict for a solid team like krows so im excited to see these games)

quick disclaimer that this is not a comment on anyone's gameplay style and is purely speculative. i'm sure everyone playing is a solid player in their own right, so here's to a fun week 3 :)

Week 1: 9/24 :skull:
Week 2: 16/24
Overall: 25/48

Trick House Treeckos (3) vs (5) Tyrannical Tinkatons
SV: Larry vs Dieu Amphibien - Dieu is good at Mono, so is Leru (do you prefer Larry..), but Leru performs outside of Monotype as well, so bolding him
SV: rs vs Mada - Mada's games haven't been very convincing
SV: adjustments vs Chaitanya - I don't know why it took the Treeckos this long to put Adjustments in the tier he's been on fire in, as much as I don't want to see my boy 0-3 I think rolling Chaitanya your first week of SV is tough, I think this will be a good game though
SV: Azick vs Fraolain - Honestly Fraolain makes me eat my words everytime I predict against him so hes fire at Pokemon. That being said, this is the last time I predict against him if it doesnt work out, think this will come down to matchup tho
SS: King Choco vs Rinda - Now that Rinda doesn't have Vodoom yelling at him, he's got a power boost
SM: LuckyPiper vs QWILY - haven't paid attention to qwily's games this tour and Piper is def motivated to turn his tour around I'm sure, but his mistakes have been p costly
ORAS: Suspensse vs juleocesar - Not benched is crazy
BW: crash vs North - HL bw match, its very hard to bold against Crashy but North is coming off a cup win and thus has had more time to derust

Tohjo Falls Thunders (4) vs (4) Goldenrod Gengars
SV: maroon vs mind gaming - hard to predict against mind
SV: Railgun vs clean - Brought Normal and won....into Fighting nonetheless
SV: cpt.kraken vs achimoo
SV: dunoks vs Neko - flipping a coin
SS: MichaelderBeste2 vs Thiago Nunes - better player
SM: DAHLI vs Attribute - Attribute SHOULD have lost last week (I think.?) and I feel like he's not trying to let that happen again, also it seems dahli isn't prepping their own teams and seems to not care as much as I thought they did
ORAS: tier vs twinkay - im tired of predicting oras games IDC ABOUT THIS TIER. BOTH WILL BRING PSYCHIC AND IT WILL BE COINFLIP
BW: Splash vs Meta

Melemele Meloettas (3) vs (5) Hearthome Honchkrows
SV: Cielau vs TTK - TTK the goat rn
SV: Floss vs Tarre25 - Hard to bold against Floss
SV: Masskeau vs yedla - Masskeau played well last week
SV: feen vs style.css - No clue honestly, will say Feen cuz he plays more mons in general
SS: schwipper vs 3d - In prep last week my first line about Schwipper is that he likes bringing fringe types, and then he brought Dragon, 3d is good and if Schwipper doesn't change up his style I feel like its not gonna end well, even if he does 3d is bestie
SM: Toadow vs Gondra - will be a good matchup, think gondra is better tho
ORAS: drizzle vs fade - better
BW: Gelbel3c vs Sabella

go zarks! <3

Trick House Treeckos (2) vs (6) Tyrannical Tinkatons
SV: Larry vs Dieu Amphibien - Believing more in Larry's ingame than in the French cheese
SV: rs vs Mada - I don't think Mada is the best clicker but I feel like he cares more, so that should be enough
SV: adjustments vs Chaitanya - Regardless of the confusion deciding the result last week, Chait did a pretty good game given the mu, while adjustments fumbled a pretty simple one.
SV: Azick vs Fraolain - Azicks gonna channel the Power or Rage and prove all his doubters that he in fact can deliver results!!!
SS: King Choco vs Rinda - With 1 abuser out of his back, I am pretty sure Rinda now has the state of mind to proceed to sweep the SS pool.
SM: LuckyPiper vs QWILY - I love Piper but like... I don't think there's much to say after last week :(
ORAS: Suspensse vs juleocesar - Both players had a rough game last week, but despite the result, I believe suspense's game was a lil less ugly than juleos
BW: crash vs North - Battle of the titans, I expect a blast of a game (preferably with less than 150 turns).

Overall, despite the number of... Eccentric individuals that the Tinkatons have, they are all individually great and I don't think the Treeckos have the power to tank them.

Tohjo Falls Thunders (2) vs (6) Goldenrod Gengars
SV: maroon vs mind gaming - One is clicking better than the other so far.
SV: Railgun vs clean - Clean played a PERFECT game last week, which makes me confident to bold them here.
SV: cpt.kraken vs achimoo - Based on vibes.
SV: dunoks vs Neko - Cat cares more and know more, if she manages to control her nerves and stay calm, should be a win.
SS: MichaelderBeste2 vs Thiago Nunes - Brazilians stay together woooooooo
SM: DAHLI vs Attribute - Another banger, could legit go either way.
ORAS: tier vs twinkay - Another tossup.
BW: Splash vs Meta - Splash will fuck up their teams again and Meta will take advantage.

The score says 6-2 Gengars but theres a few tossups in there, so I wouldn't be surprised if thunders got the W here. Don't think the teams are too far away in terms of power either, can be more balanced than it seems.

Melemele Meloettas (4) vs (4) Hearthome Honchkrows
SV: Cielau vs TTK - TTK made a couple silly mistakes in their game and I don't know what happened to CIelau (Purposefully orchestrated to push a ban gholdengo agenda????), but I believe in a regular game, Cielau's ingame is tighter and an answer to Gholdengo will be brought.
SV: Floss vs Tarre25 - Better clicker with a better support, I think.
SV: Masskeau vs yedla - Masskeau had kind of a horrible mu last week and did a pretty great recovery game for what its worth. I still believe yedla has the edge but definitely won't be easy.
SV: feen vs style.css - I think both are pretty similar in terms of clicking, with style having a big advantage in terms of building and meta knowledge.
SS: schwipper vs 3d - Schwippers been doing pretty great so far, feeling confident on bolding him here.
SM: Toadow vs Gondra - Giving a tiny edge to Gondra, but can go either way too.
ORAS: drizzle vs fade - Favoring Drizzle because yes.
BW: Gelbel3c vs Sabella - It all comes down if Gelbel can come up with a spicy set that can throw Sabella off guard.

The most even matchup so far imo, Meloettas' SV is stronger but Krows older gens make up for it. Really excited to see who comes out on top.
 
speed predicts this week cuz i don't have time to write up

SV: maroon vs mind gaming

Trick House Treeckos (0) vs (0) Tyrannical Tinkatons
SV: Larry vs Dieu Amphibien
SV: rs vs Mada
SV: adjustments vs Chaitanya
I think this game is gonna be a highlight. Both are goated SV mono players, but I think overall Chaitanya takes the win.
SV: Azick vs Fraolain
No explanation needed, Azick is Azick.
SS: King Choco vs Rinda
dunno.
SM: LuckyPiper vs QWILY
Bolding Piper worked out lmao
ORAS: Suspensse vs juleocesar
dunno.
BW: crash vs North
also dunno :(

Tohjo Falls Thunders (0) vs (0) Goldenrod Gengars
SV: maroon vs mind gaming
So far, mind gaming has been playing better than maroon, though there is a world in which maroon wins this.
SV: Railgun vs clean
SV: cpt.kraken vs achimoo
No clue
SV: dunoks vs Neko
Both are skilled players, but Neko mains mono, so I think the cat takes it (go cat!)
SS: MichaelderBeste2 vs Thiago Nunes
I genuinely don't know who takes it, both are pretty good players
SM: DAHLI vs Attribute
I know attribute is a good player, but I don't know who dahli is so I can't really comment here.
ORAS: tier vs twinkay
dunno
BW: Splash vs Meta
dunno

Zero Isle Zoroarks (0) vs (0) Bell Tower Braves
SV: Scarfire vs Fírnen
Again, I know Scarfire but I don't know Firnen sooo.
SV: Leafium Z vs Xiri
SV: Elyoss vs Mihowk
dunno
SV: Sificon vs avarice
dunno
SS: Hurtadoo vs hellom
dunno
SM: DugZa vs Mateeus
I think mat takes this over dugza because bird difference. (Rooting for ya)
ORAS: Dj Breloominati♬ vs Tenebricite
Tene has been on a killing streak lately, so I think they take this.
BW: ikiarihS vs Feaniix
Say it with me, d u n n o

Melemele Meloettas (0) vs (0) Hearthome Honchkrows
SV: Cielau vs TTK
Both are goated, but I think Cielau takes this. Should be a fun game to watch tho.
SV: Floss vs JeoZ
Don't know JeoZ so can't really comment here.
SV: Masskeau vs yedla
dunno
SV: feen vs style.css
so, yeah I was late to this one, but I think I woulda leaned towards a style w. (well played style, sableye was a monster)
SS: schwipper vs 3d
SM: Toadow vs Gondra
dunno (my new catchphrase I think)
ORAS: drizzle vs fade
dunno
BW: Gelbel3c vs Sabella
To cap it all off, dunno
