  • 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.

Trick House Treeckos (4) vs (4) Tohjo Falls Thunders
SV: adjustments vs dunoks - Adjustments kinda did own me in the cups playoffs, which makes me confident to bold him here.
SV: Azick vs cpt.kraken - Results and records don't mean much and I believe Azick will start winning games... eventually.
SV: Larry vs Railgun - More experience wins.
SV: rs vs maroon - Both veteran players having a really rough start, but I believe shiba clicks better? I don't even know at this point.
SS: King Choco vs MichaelderBeste2 - Experience + better ingame should win.
SM: LuckyPiper vs DAHLI - Unless some crazy mu happens. Dahli is just better all-around, I'm afraid.
ORAS: Suspensse vs tier - I liked tiers games more.
BW: crash vs Splash - Can really go both ways, boldinh splash just because.

Melemele Meloettas (3) vs (5) Goldenrod Gengars
SV: Masskeau vs mind gaming - Might be a hot take, but I've been liking Masskeau's ingame a lot so far and I believe in a potential upset.
SV: Cielau vs clean - Clean's games are being sharper lately than Cielaus.
SV: RoFnA vs achimoo - Don't really have much to say on here, bolding the newcomer.
SV: feen vs KillaLeston - Tossup matchup for me, to be real.
SS: schwipper vs Thiago Nunes - Despite some unlucky moments and small mistakes on his games, I believe schwipper has more experience and meta knowledge to overcome TNunes' overall better ingame.
SM: Toadow vs Attribute - Bolding based on vibes here.
ORAS: drizzle vs twinkay - Drizzles tour has been rough so far, I believe twinkay wins.
BW: Gelbel3c vs Meta - Experience wins here as well, I think.

Hearthome Honchkrows (3) vs (5) Bell Tower Braves
SV: TTK vs Xiri - In a neutral mu, I believe Xiri wins, but TTK can take the dub if gets anything favoured.
SV: JeoZ vs Fírnen - Current SV cup winner should bring this home.
SV: yedla vs Mihowk - Two very dear friends to me, I believe Mihowks games lately are a tad sharper than Yedlas.
SV: style.css vs pas_touchao - Maybe similar clicking level, but style has advantage on building and meta knowledge.
SS: 3d vs hellom - another kind of a tossup.
SM: Gondra vs Mateeus - Mat must be pretty hyped and motivated by getting Top 8 on cup playoffs, but I don't know if its gonna be enough.
ORAS: fade vs Tenebricite - He took an L last week, but Teneb is on a rampage and I don't think it is stopping anytime soon.
BW: Sabella vs Feaniix - Best player overall, I believe.
 
back to your regularly scheduled programming, idk my overall but its not that great, im having fun with predicts this tour tho

Zero Isle Zoroarks (4) vs (4) Tyrannical Tinkatons
SV: Scarfire vs Fraolain - frol1 only won last week cuz azick got like 3 50/50s wrong, scarfire will be able to punish any of his misplays
SV: Leafium Z vs Chaitanya - i think we've all caught on that leaf brings like the same 4 types, i haven't bolded against him in a while so this'll do, i think this is his first meeting with chait in a team tour if im not mistaken
SV: Elyoss vs Dieu Amphibien - PLEASE discover another new mechanic bro i'm waiting
SV: Sificon vs WhiteSpaniard - honestly no hate to WSpan but i think he will get nervous in his debut which will be a fatal blow. i do see him doing well if he gets the opportunity to start more in the future
SS: Hurtadoo vs Rinda - so many french vs french... both are friendly people but i didn't want to mark it as a tossup, im going with LE DOO.
SM: DugZa vs QWILY - i think QWILY picks up his first win here if he gets a playable mu, especially if the SM knowers of this team get more involved
ORAS: Dj Breloominati♬ vs Mada - honestly if there's any matchup in this series thats a tossup its this one but i think dj spitfire has brought cooler teams in oras
BW: ikiarihS vs North - prep diff here, north got a tad unlucky last week but luck aside he should be able to take this one

Melemele Meloettas (5) vs (3) Goldenrod Gengars
SV: Masskeau vs mind gaming - didn't masskeau win with ghost vs dark last week?... without using his mimikyu?!
SV: Cielau vs clean - honestly might be an SV highlight of this week, both great players but im backing the french here
SV: RoFnA vs achimoo - i don't think achimoo is very familiar with mono, i know he started last week but its going to take a bit for him to get acclimated
SV: feen vs KillaLeston - i think we all forgot that this guy has had a huge glow up. he was the 128 seed in mono seeded 2ish years ago and now he's made cup playoffs and is starting in mpl
SS: schwipper vs Thiago Nunes - schwipper has a better grasp of SS and is more experienced. i just hope he doesn't choke vs nunes like i did...
SM: Toadow vs Attribute - mr. bute has had some wonky games this tour but i think he eeks out a dub here
ORAS: drizzle vs twinkay - unfortunately drizzle hasn't really lived up to the hype after winning SM cup, he's lost a somewhat favorable matchup in this tour and lost to Soma in cup playoffs, even after managing to get fairy vs dragon
BW: Gelbel3c vs Meta - is taking gelb even considered an upset anymore? no offense to meta, but gelb has put on a really good show in BW this tour!

Hearthome Honchkrows (3) vs (4) Bell Tower Braves
SV: TTK vs Xiri - both players made mistakes in their matches last week, but im picking TTK here to bring something cool
SV: JeoZ vs Fírnen - jeoz shocked the world and lit up floss last week i think that fire carries over
SV: yedla vs Mihowk - i hate to bold against yedla but after that game last week... just yikes...
SV: style.css vs pas_touchao - style has had fairly solid games, i've also liked his team choices so far, if he can keep up everything that's been going right he should have this one
SS: 3d vs hellom - hellom subbed out last week but i think he should be able to win this, more experience in ss and mono in general
SM: Gondra vs Mateeus - im gonna take bird boy to win here in an upset before he begs me for mercy in cup playoffs
ORAS: fade vs Tenebricite - tenebricite has been really invested in mono, apparently he's even building for himself, i think that's enough to give him the edge here
BW: Sabella vs Feaniix - this series is going to come down to this match. we all know how good sab is at bw, but feaniix has also had a promising showing so far too, this is going to be the decider
 
hi guys i went 12-11 last time so thats cool but we'll get a better diff this time B) welcome back to sapphiree predicts

Trick House Treeckos (4) vs (4) Tohjo Falls Thunders
SV: adjustments vs dunoks - adjustments is on fire, fresh off the win from chait last week and leaf yesterday, the momentum will carry forward i hope as long as he doesnt land a bad mu. (60/40)
SV: Azick vs cpt.kraken - azick will leak his team again and roll a bad mu again (45/55)
SV: Larry vs Railgun - solid player with more familiarity in monotype, altho the name change is like -100 aura for luisin so who knows! (45/55)

SV: rs vs maroon - would love to see a maroon win this week but ever since shiba started using his old alt again, he is on top of that mountain peak and maroon might need a training arc before he's ready to take him on (60/40)
SS: King Choco vs MichaelderBeste2 - after witnessing emperor chocolate's game last week, i believe the non-mainer has a nice edge over him, its easy to test someones patience in ss and i think mb2 can outlast if it becomes a stall-v-stall game too (30/70)
SM: LuckyPiper vs Splash - the battle of managers, it will be legendary (40/60)

ORAS: Suspensse vs tier - suspensse trolls less and builds unique teams which will make their opponent go "wtf?" at every turn (60/40)
BW: crash vs DAHLI - it is but a fool's errand to bold against crashy, he is probably one of the strongest bw players in the pool rn (60/40)


Zero Isle Zoroarks (3) vs (5) Tyrannical Tinkatons
SV: Scarfire vs Fraolain - frol1's unique playstyle is not enough to shrug off scarfire, besides his loss to firnen last week may fuel his desire to build better and win comfortably (60/40)
SV: Leafium Z vs Chaitanya - leaf stocks are a bit low in the market after his loss to adjustments in the cup poffs, and chait remains ever-consistent as long as he doesnt roll a -1000 aura matchup, which is highly probable too! (45/55)
SV: Elyoss vs Dieu Amphibien - france gaming, the young french elyoss might be bested by the more experienced player as long as his greninja doesnt freeze any of dieu's pokemon (40/60)
SV: Sificon vs WhiteSpaniard - a lot of wspan unbelievers in chat (reasonably so!) but i know the rush of a debut game and i think wspan can be relied on for a victory, esp since they were bought mid-season as vodoom's replacement so the pressure's a good amount on him (45/55)

SS: Hurtadoo vs Rinda - rinda is known for his comeback playstyle, i'm not sure how motivated le doo is right now but rinda got a pretty good win last week from what i feel was a tough position (40/60)
SM: DugZa vs QWILY - qwily hasnt been doing well this time around and having dugza as his opponent this week is doing him no favors! (70/30)
ORAS: Dj Breloominati♬ vs Mada - spitfire is a calm and rational player, much like his opponent, but his tilt towards hax is much lesser than madara's which i feel will be the gap in this game (yes i'm saying one might hax the other, it IS oras after all) (55/45)

BW: ikiarihS vs North - the strongest bw cup winner in history vs the strongest bw cup winner of today, ur battle will be legendary (49/51) (subbed)

Melemele Meloettas (4) vs (4) Goldenrod Gengars
SV: Masskeau vs mind gaming - despite masskeau's win last week i would debate that yedla stocks are a bit low rn, and prep was probably made keeping a small chance of yedla loading dark (which would explain the double fairy on ghost), mg is a more solid option and gengars have been picking up their slack (45/55)
SV: Cielau vs clean - i didnt watch the game but cielau managed an impressive win last week, this has been cleans tour tho since hes been cleaning house in sv but cielau with his fancy iron jugulis avi might get the dub here (55/45)
SV: RoFnA vs achimoo - i encountered rofna on ladder but i didnt encounter achimoo on ladder, and the guy who ladders is the guy who wins, i dont make the rules (60/40)

SV: feen vs KillaLeston - killaleston had a nice cup run and feen hasnt particularly stood out this tour. debut games are always a thrill and i feel this guy is pretty chill so maybe he'll go in for the kill,, i want praises for my poetry thx (40/60)
SS: schwipper vs Thiago Nunes - tnunes is the better player overall despite schwipper's experience in monotype, but schwipper's loss to head smash aegislash goes to show that his picks can be predictable and i believe gengars have the resources to outprep in this slot (40/60)
SM: Toadow vs Attribute - this is basically a gut feeling even tho it isnt wise to bold against attribute but toadow is a very strong contender, i feel this is one of those "challenger vs champion" matchups and im feeling some confidence in the challenger this time (51/49)

ORAS: drizzle vs twinkay - drizzle might just be better at individual tours, and meloettas havent been able to utilize him to the fullest, whereas the bala-twinkay chemistry prevails from the fuchsia fairies era (40/60)
BW: Gelbel3c vs Meta - as much of a fan i am of mister metagame, gelbel has been somewhat dominating and the momentum can be a great decider for games in bw (55/45)

hope u enjoyed reading
