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.

SV Ubers: bumboclaat vs Swas
swas been going crazy this tour

SV OU: Lameflame vs Xurkiyee
xurk is him but lameflame could load some bs and cook

SV OU: Mollymiltoast vs Kayzn
im confident molly is the better player but i think if kayzns prep is good enough he can win

SV OU: Tempo di anguria vs Vlarcheops
i havent fully invested in vlarcheops stock but i think tempo prob wins

SV UU: Micciu vs Axzel

Always Midnight Absols (6) vs (4) Wealthy Weaviles
SV Ubers: DripLegend vs xinnobu
kinda going namevalue here
SV OU: Separation vs Luthier
p cool matchup probably top 1/2 to watch imo should be good stuff from both
SV OU: Nashrock vs hellom
think hellom should take it but nash has maybe the worst luck i have seen in legit any mons player so i am bolding in his favor in hopes he gets a karmic reversal
SV OU: Kyo vs sealoo
sealoo has been grinding anyone found on the streets of baltimore after 9pm into arby's steak nuggets for days now. the streets of maryland are not safe. gliscor is coming. prayers will not save you.
SV UU: Micciu vs Axzel
SV RU: LBN vs Micaiah
this is the other top 1/2 matchup i was talking about earlier, should be super cool even for ouheads that dont play lower tiers for their chungus lives (me)
SV DOU: Akaru Kokuyo vs Terekusai
dont know jack fuckall about doubles going off previous matchup
SV Monotype: Sunnyboi0 vs dunoks
dunoks can take here but i think it's gonna be a bit tough
SS OU: One Last Kiss vs ZDen
olk going p crazy and zden is having a tough tour
SS OU: 3cho vs MGdos16
isza weapons development facility probably takes it

kinda hoping this goes to tb very swag matchup and friends on both teams VAMOS BASCUS

SV Ubers: bumboclaat vs Swas
Bumb has put a lot of effort into the NDUB tier and is of course one of the people who knows NDUB best. I've copied his EV spreads for many of my Pokémon, but ngl, his team style is too rigid. If he doesn't make changes in time, it'll be easy to counter his teams.
SV Ubers: DripLegend vs xinnobu
ehh nashrock find me to support him

 

[Genjaja]

Looking Forward to a lot of these SV OU matchups. I hope everybody plays well and does their thing and the better players come out on top.
