Standings and Records

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.
SM NFE will be played in the gen 7 OU format. The banlist and resources for this metagame can be found here.
ORAS NFE will be played in the gen 6 UU format. The banlist and resources for this metagame can be found here. (Note Frogadier and Gligar will be banned for this week and moving forward in ORAS NFE.)
BW NFE will be played in the gen 5 Ubers format. The banlist and resources for this metagame can be found here.
DPP NFE will be played in the gen 4 UU format. The banlist and resources for this metagame can be found here.

Managers and Assistant Managers are responsible for ensuring that their players do not bring illegal teams to their games. If a player brings an illegal team, the opposition are free to either take the win or offer a redo.
Regarding DPP NFE, if the game ends up as a draw due to both Pokemon fainting on the last turn (Explosion, Recoil, Status Damage etc) then another game must be played until someone wins. Teams can be changed for a rematch.

Strap Predicts

(4) Deez Nuzleafs vs. Holy Hattremonies (3)
SS NFE: tlenit vs kythr - what a ss hl for semis, we have two experienced and great players matched, I don't know who I give the edge to but this will be exciting to watch.
SS NFE: TheFranklin vs daunt vs - Franklin just seems like the more solid player and with good support, I can see him taking this one
SS NFE: Xiri vs OranBerryBlissey10 - same as above, Xiri is the more experienced player here
SM NFE: Quagg vs ninjadog - Quaggy baby, he's been great so far this nfepl and he's obviously one of the greats in usm nfe so he takes this one
ORAS NFE: gorex vs Splash - I havent seen too much of gorex playing here and Splash seems good enough to take this one with stresh support
BW NFE: Fille vs Insult - Fille seems to be doing well this pl so he should take although I wouldn't be surprised if Insult catches this game by the neck
DPP NFE: HSOWA vs shiloh - Both of these have been playing well in the no evio tier but I'm gonna go with rozes on this because he seems to have no stopping of losing
Bo3: frisoeva vs xavgb - another hl match to watch that will be entertaining but I do think stresh will come out on top as he has seem in shape this nfepl but friso could give an upset

I said I’d do drunk predix but instead you’re getting hungover predix


SS NFE: tlenit vs kythr (50/50) - leni has bounced around gens while kythr has consistently played ss for nearly 3 months now week in week out, but leni is quality enough for not to be too big of a deal. Going to be a boring bastard and no call here, way too hard to pick between two of the top ss players
SS NFE: TheFranklin vs daunt vs (60/40) - both have shown glimpses are both are quality players however thefranklin just seems to be piloting a little better
SS NFE: Xiri vs OranBerryBlissey10 (80/20) - Xiri is Xiri and farms wins, whereas OBB can always throw a curveball in the builder but that strategy seems to be less effective this PL
SM NFE: Quagg vs ninjadog (70/30) - hard to tip against quag as impressive as ninjas of always is. Ninja is incredibly good at finding a winpath however quag is probably the more likely to win in the builder
ORAS NFE: gorex vs Splash (40/60) - oras is all over the shop, and the nuzleafs haven’t been able to settle on a lineup particularly rotating oras whereas splash has looked semi settled and quite competent
BW NFE: Fille vs insult (50/50) - can’t decide here, I don’t think fille the weapon would mind me saying that insult has a higher ceiling (probably higher then anyone in this whole pl) but fille has been on an absolute tear and has a great understanding of BW. I’m really excited for this after dabbling in BW lately
DPP NFE: HSOWA vs shiloh (40/60) - Shiloh with stresh support has been very good and I think Shiloh has really developed a great understanding of the meta after seeing some of their comments which is very impressive. HSOWA meanwhile has also impressed a lot, with likely the two best dpp players facing off here
Bo3: frisoeva vs xavgb (45/55) - I think this is a great pick from nuzleafs cause if anyone is going to upset stresh it’s def friso. Stresh is inarguably the best Never Fucking Evolver but frisos unorthodox style and insane ability in game make this an awesome mu
