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.​

PLAYOFF PREDICTS WOOO
Bell Tower Braves (2) vs (6) Balding Baltoys
SV: LBN vs Whitespaniard - LBN has shown a little more consistency than WS, they are close in terms of everything though imo, nothing really funny or witty to say here sorry :(
SV: Fusien vs Dieu Amphibien - dieu after dealing with shenanigans and BS in MLT should win this, he's definitely motivated enough after dealing with all that
SV: Rio Vidal vs LoSconosciuto - on the other hand, the creator and instigator of the MLT shenanigans and BS is going to face a really hard loss, i think he's going to get his ass whooped in fact, i know for a fact trich doesn't play games when his players are insulted like that and will have the perfect ass-whooping team prepped up for this situation, and i'm sure loscono has been filled in on all of this too
SV: feen vs Fraolain - feen is the star of the braves, he's only lost once, what more can i say?
SS: TJ vs maki - i know TJ has only lost once as well but there's really no world where maki has 5 losses... right?
SM: Tenebricite vs terrors - there's a little bit of negative momentum for tenebricite after losing cup + terrors has been a little more consistent and seems to have a bit better prep in the SM department
ORAS: CyberOdin✝ vs Jojo8868 - i know everyone wanted jojo to be undefeated this tournament, but sometimes even the greatest stars have small blemishes
BW: Jolly Togekiss vs DAHLI - JT has definitely brought some cool teams, dahli has been rocking everyone's world in BW though so i really don't know if a togekiss can stop him at this point...

GO DREAMCHASERS
 
Bell Tower Braves (2) vs (6) Balding Baltoys
SV: LBN vs Whitespaniard - looks heavily favored for LBN
SV: Fusien vs Dieu Amphibien - I've watched pretty much every SV games of MPL and Dieu is the one who surprised me the most in terms of skill in-game and being able to outplay his opponents, i'd say he's the best player of the tier rn from what i've seen
SV: Rio Vidal vs LoSconosciuto - Looks close but i'm feeling Losco to win this
SV: feen vs Fraolain - I feel like frol1 will outprep
SS: TJ vs maki - Despite having a rough tournament i think maki is the better player here
SM: Tenebricite vs terrors - i don't know terrors very well but tenebricite is really good so i'm bolding them
ORAS: CyberOdin✝ vs Jojo8868 - idk cyberodin and jojo looks pretty solid in old gens
BW: Jolly Togekiss vs DAHLI - JT had good moments in the tournament but i feel like dahli was more consistent in his plays

Driftveil Dreamchasers (5) vs (3) Melemele Meloettas
SV: Floss vs Cielau - Floss is more solid
SV: Adjustments vs Masskeau - Adjustments is the better player but i wouldn't be surprised to see masskeau win either
SV: Twinkay vs QWILY - close but i'm feeling a qwily win
SV: crow crumbs vs blittius - close but crow crumbs will win
SS: DugZa vs Master Chief - Dugza should win this
SM: Hacker vs Toadow - Toadow is doing super good and he'll keep doing so
ORAS: Fade vs dawnmidst - fade is the better player
BW: Dusk vs Gelbel3c - gelbelec will outprep
 
All unbias, try to not sneak diss challenge failed though.

SV:  Floss vs Masskeau
This actually is the one match up I have nothing negative to say about. Floss has had an amazing tour, played most of his games well, and above all has pushed the standard of creativity that I feel isn't seen in sv often(Unless you're the Germans). His Opponent has 2 Ls and I'll admit has been a bit sloppy, but overall deserves his record despite some donations. Should be a cool game between 2 great sv players although Floss has been more consistent and is more proven.

ORAS: Fade vs Toadow
Normally I'd bold the best ORAS Monotype player atm but 1-3 is a fall from grace. From looking at the games though, game quality isn't an issue. Team quality is a different story, whoever is his supplier might just be trolling, a disappointing downgrade from me and Jefe. His Opponent is a very proven player, I can't take that away from him although I doubt he has no idea whats going on here either. His record is more solid, and I know he cares more though, so I'll bold him. Fade is a better player, but unless his team stops feeding him dogshit don't think he will win. Maybe a group effort can change that narrative, but when you look at the oras support on that team you got to think to yourself:

BW: Dugza vs Gelbel3c
This actually will be a good game. Dugza is a solid flex pick, and imo the 2nd best player on his team. That being said, I'm 99% he has little idea whats going on here compared to his Opponent. I have faith he can figure it out, but if not then The sugar daddy will be there to fingerpaint, watercolor, and do anything else nessesary as always. Bel has been one of the better bw mainers the community has, his team selection will be solid although ingame he's outclassed here. Think this game will decide who wins the tiebreak and should be a better one than the other 2 if it comes to game 3.

My bad.
