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.​

Interesting pairings, I think if it goes to TB I'd pick Europe seeing as I believe they pick ubers and I favor Guard+Lily in SV vs mostly anybody.

Best of luck to all teams.
 
Europe (4) vs (4) France

SV: Latiasboy vs Ryuji - love watch latiasboy play, but i do slightly lean towards ryuji in the builder, i think this can easily go either way
SV: tlenit vs Wait2Seconds - pretty unfamiliar with both, but ive liked what w2s has brought
SV: entrocefalo vs BlazingDark - i think entro is one of the stronger players in the tier, good teams and good play
SV: Lily vs Hyssou - lily seems better overall and has had a great tour
SS: pannu vs Clementine - feel this mu will hinge a lot on builds, i think clem is a stronger player generally but im not rly qualified to say
SS: Stareal vs Carkoala - big fan of what stareal has been bringing and am rather unfamilar was carkoala
Monotype: AtraX Madara vs Cherbou - from what ive seen, cherbou has had a rly nice tour and i see no reason theyll slow down, this is an important mu as i think the OU tiers being split 3-3 is inevitable
Ubers: Guard vs Eledyr - i think guard is the safer pick here, but a lot rides on the winner of this, definitely a mu to watch

if this goes to tiebreak, i am inclined to agree with Isza, europe’s top players are great


USA Northeast + Canada (4) vs (USA Midwest + USA West
SV: Isza vs avarice - im very torn on this one, id hl the vs but i dont wanna do that. I like both player’s builds and play but slightly lean that avarice pulls it out. Should be a good 1
SV: Kyo vs Adriyun - unstoppable force meets an immovable object, Jordan vs Lebron, Messi vs Ronaldo. I think Kyo has some of coolest builds in the tier and will load a team that does not lose to a /randpoke RUBL mon.
SV: peap vs sh0shin - the offensemeister peap has some of the most interesting sets around, and i believe should take one, ly tho shoshin
SV: LBN vs sasha - we’ll see what cm tera poison mon is loaded this time around, Sigilyph? Sasha has strong builds with strong play to supplement but if there’s anyone who can catch u off guard its LBN
SS: Finchinator vs Mollymiltoast - heavy weight classic, Molly is a very strong ss player but Finch has been nearly unstoppable all throughout it all with a steady supply of solid team support. I favor Big Stall, but the ND Mainer in me will be rooting for Molly
SS: Elfuseon vs Clawed Winter - i think clawed will be getting on the board after a 2 week hiatus here, this is a sneaky v important game to the series
Monotype: Booty vs maroon - maroon has been the best mono player in the pool and i dont expect that to stop
Ubers: Fc vs FatFighter2 - i will not act qualified to discuss ubers, so ill go with Ubers Leader

I believe for this series SS will be v important, and I favor NE in tb i guess? Thats tough tho

Sorry for soliloquy, Feel free to quote me when im inevitably wrong gl all byeeeeee :toast:
 
Europe (4 (up to 7)) vs (1 (up to 4)) France
SV: Latiasboy vs Ryuji - i think ryuji is the stronger player + builder, but Latiasboy brings some volatile builds that can definitely mess with him.
SV: tlenit vs Wait2Seconds - pretty even matchup from both players
SV: entrocefalo vs BlazingDark - entro is generally a stronger player in this tier also just ENTROOOOO
SV: Lily vs Hyssou - more solid run atm, but both players are great so i can see this going either way
SS: pannu vs Clementine - even matchup i'd say
SS: Stareal vs Carkoala - would place Stareal as the better player / builder but also i'm just not super familiar w carkoala
Monotype: AtraX Madara vs Cherbou - both incredibly solid players in mono, could see this going either way
Ubers: Guard vs Eledyr - i think both of these players are very solid, but Guard's builds seem to be better against both fatter and more volatile offense builds so i'd give it to him.

USA Northeast + Canada (4 (up to 7)) vs (1 (up to 4)) USA Midwest + USA West
SV: Isza vs avarice - both great players, no clue where I'd rank this
SV: Kyo vs Adriyun - i think kyo is a better player, obv adriyun is solid, but kyo preps for cheese better imo
SV: peap vs sh0shin - peap offense is untouchable ong
SV: LBN vs sasha - even
SS: Finchinator vs Mollymiltoast - from what i've seen, molly seems to have builds that matchup decently into finch, but finch is also on an incredible run atm so I could see this going either way.
SS: Elfuseon vs Clawed Winter - both solid players but i think i'd give it to elfuseon on this one based on previous builds / plays
Monotype: Booty vs maroon - maroontour23
Ubers: Fc vs FatFighter2 - usually i'd say it can go either way, but i think ff2 is less motivated for this tier atm so i'm giving it to fc

tight semis, gl everyone!
 
SV: Latiasboy vs Ryuji - i think ryuji is better in game and builder but not sleeping on latiasboy
SV: tlenit vs Wait2Seconds - could go either way, i havent seen w2s play but p sure ive seen tlenit choke a few times
SV: entrocefalo vs BlazingDark - way better record but can go either way
SV: Lily vs Hyssou - gily
SS: pannu vs Clementine - 50/50
SS: Stareal vs Carkoala - Stareal hasnt gotten his zenitsu custom he showed me in 2021 so for that i want him to lose because hes lazy but hes better me thinks
Monotype: AtraX Madara vs Cherbou
Ubers: Guard vs Eledyr - i love ubers but with the insane power level that comes with national dex + gen 9 + tera makes this tier insanely mickey so there is zero point in making a real prediction but good luck both!

if it went to tb tbh i think it would be a decently even matchup..? slight edge to europe ig

gl to all
 
not real dicts

Europe (4) vs (3) France
SV: Latiasboy vs Ryuji more familiar with the tier, generally brings better builds from what ive seen, i think ryuji is more likely to take this one
SV: tlenit vs Wait2Seconds its realistically a pr even matchup but i will bold tlenit bc of his superior strength of schedule to anyone else on the site
SV: entrocefalo vs BlazingDark much more experience, think his grasp of the tier is better
SV: Lily vs Hyssou better player overall
SS: pannu vs Clementine if Pannu wins i will eat a shoe
SS: Stareal vs Carkoala more consistent, has had more success in this tier in general
Monotype: AtraX Madara vs Cherbou i do not know a thing about monotype but i think cherbou has been doing better
Ubers: Guard vs Eledyr even matchup

USA Northeast + Canada (4) vs (3) USA Midwest + USA West
SV: Isza vs avarice isza has been on quite the tear, i dont see why they wld stop now
SV: Kyo vs Adriyun The Best NatDex Player On The Site will load wigglytuff and win
SV: peap vs sh0shin my goattttttttttt
SV: LBN vs sasha lbn will be too blindsided by the sneasler is broken train, load sneasler, then lose bc it did 60 to clef and got the poison
SS: Finchinator vs Mollymiltoast Finch has been on a tear but i think its been vs an overall weaker pool, this goes either way
SS: Elfuseon vs Clawed Winter more consistent player i feel
Monotype: Booty vs maroon this is maroons tier
Ubers: Fc vs FatFighter2 i think ff2 has seen the light and hates this tier now whereas idt fc hates this tier as much
 
EAST BEAST

Real predicts asf

Europe vs France
SV: Latiasboy vs Ryuji
SV: tlenit vs Wait2Seconds
SV: entrocefalo vs BlazingDark
SV: Lily vs Hyssou
SS: pannu vs Clementine
SS: Stareal vs Carkoala
Monotype: AtraX Madara vs Cherbou
Ubers: Guard vs Eledyr

no clue on mono or Ubers but from what I’ve heard I’d lean towards guard
