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 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.
  • 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.

:skarmory: (4) Stalwart Skarmories vs Freedom Farfetch'd (3) :farfetchd:
NDOU: Maple vs Splash- think they have similar levels of skill but gonna root on splash since im more sure about him
NDOU: Sagisolar vs devin- tricky part but i think sagi is pull through with great experience in nd
NDOU: temp vs Finchinator- both players have same experience in nd imo but im rooting finch as i consider him more skilled
NDUU: trace vs m00la- consider both the same but gonna go with trace cause i refuse m00la
NDUU: EviGaro vs maroon- dont know maroon but ik garo in lower tiers so
NDAG: Bread sandwich vs Monsareeasy- dont know the latter that well but know bread a good bit
NDBo3 OU/UU/AG: Faded love vs PinkDragonTamer- i think pdt is more experienced in all three tiers overall more than faded since i don't know him in ag

:toxapex: (4) Pogging Pexs vs Slateport Absols (3) :absol:
NDOU: Jordy vs Chazm- very tough very tough to say but gonna go chazm as i know him better overall and have barely seen jordy play
NDOU: SHSP vs Vaboh- gonna go vaboh as i barely know SHSP
NDOU: Ruft vs Roginald- believe in ruft and dont know roginald
NDUU: Lilburr vs niadev- tough one but gonna go with lilburr drilburr as ive not seen much of niadev
NDUU: Drud vs RaJ.shoot- gonna go drud as i think he has more experience overall in the tier
NDAG: Chloe vs Nevelle- i think chloe is a lot more skilled in ag than nevelle so
NDBo3 OU/UU/AG: Xavgb vs BaconEatinAssassin- only know the latter well while know nothing about the former and also confident in bacon

Last week the krooks were contracted with the gaygency and pulled out with resources from the gaygency while we were not partnered in week 1 so its safe to assume the krooks can come out on top every week from now on. With that being said, prepare for yet another week of very unbiased predicts.

:krookodile: (7) Chicago Krookodile vs The Pleasednuts (0) :melmetal:
NDOU: Stareal vs Niko-gaygency support
NDOU: Nuttyrabbit vs DNNP-gaygency support
NDOU: Maki vs Zugubu royale- gaygency support
NDUU: Unicorn vs Averado- gaygency support
NDUU: Baker vs Renny- gaygency support
NDAG: Kaitlyn vs Geysers- gaygency support
NDBo3 OU/UU/AG: Yami vs Micaiah- gaygency support

krooks predicts are biased af and not all predicts are accurate as they are based on my experiences alone. Respect the gaygency you kids.

As you can see theres a negligible amount of bias in the last predicts

For real though I think Maki, Unicorns, and Kate have highlight games this week

:toxapex: (2) Pogging Pexs vs Slateport Absols (5) :absol:
NDOU: Jordy vs Chazm: not that high on jordy
NDOU: SHSP vs Vaboh: idk who shsp is tbh
NDOU: Ruft vs Roginald: ruft is 2-0 and smashed the goat last week so should take this
NDUU: Lilburr vs Niadev: lilburr is heat
NDUU: Drud vs RaJ.Shoot: fan of the teams hes been bringing and he's 2-0 plus coming off winning uu tour
NDAG: Chloe vs Nevelle: more of a fan of the teams nevelle brings, chloe could have some crazy tech but in 2020 i think nevelle is better
NDBo3 OU/UU/AG: xavgb vs BaconEatinAssassin: smashed me... auto bold

:krookodile: (0) Chicago Krookodile vs The Pleasednuts (6) :melmetal:
NDOU: Stareal vs Niko: interesting matchup i think stareal more experienced in the tier playing ladder a bunch but niko a better player. should be close
NDOU: NuttyRabbit vs DNNP: if invested he should win easily. good for nutty that he gets a chance, excited to see what he can do but just dont see him taking it
NDOU: Maki vs zugubu royale: zugu fire at this tier, hope he brings something fire like sun
NDUU: Unicorns vs Averardo: was impressed by uni's first game, but i think averado a much better player. but should beclose
NDUU: !!11!1!! vs Renny: renny's 2-0 while !!!!!!!!!!! is 0-1. however 1111111 is probably more knoweledgable so might be able to pull off something cool.
NDAG: Kaitlyn vs Geysers: havent really been following much ag recently so not sure of eithers forms, should be a close one tho.
NDBo3 OU/UU/AG: Yami vs Micaiah: i think micaiah is really good at uu and ou, and i think as his ag improves he'll establish himself as one of the best bo3 slots in the tour. yami is 2-0 and seems decent at all 3 so should be close. hope to see the replays this time...

damn really just predicted a 6-0 for a team i got no connection to lol
