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.​

Dubious Ducks (6) vs (4) Taunting Talonflames
SV: Shengineer vs S1nn0hC0nfirm3d - gonna choose to believe in shengineer this week, but I think this will be a close one and could go either way. A 5-2 and 5-3 player matchup is always cause for excitement.
SV: DugZa vs Master Chief - Please Master Chief, for the love of everything holy in life, please beat doug this week. Please.
SV: Fusien vs Tuthur - Please Fusien, for the love of everything holy in life, please beat tuthur this week. Please.
SV: loocas13 vs Ming549 - Cool matchup imo, but I'm a massive loocas fan. Super hype to see him having a great breakout tour and I really wanted etern to draft him.
SS: Stareal vs OranBerryBlissey10 - gonna bold OBB here, but it'll be a close one. Both are really strong players, but based off of what I've seen this tour, I value OBB a bit more in the builder? It can go either way as well. Don't listen to Lyra Stareal and Bernardo.
SM: Hacker vs mind gaming - I think Hacker has looked unbelievable in SM and the sheet proves it. Sadly, this overrides my want for Hacker to lose.
ORAS: feen vs LpZ - LpZ has looked great in ORAS this tour, sporting a 5-2 record in a pretty solid pool so I'm going to bold him. With that being said, feen is also a great ORAS player and I can see this going either way as well. I imagine it'll come down to matchup more than play here.
BW: neomon vs hellom - hellom has looked a bit worse this tour without shiloh support like last NUPL, and on top of that, neomon has quietly had one of his better BW NU tours in recent memory, both in play and in record. I'm riding the neomon train here.
DPP: Ninja vs Hubriz - I made Ninja in NU. I'll bold him.
ADV: Plague vs Fogbound Lake - I generally value the fact that Fog haxed violet river to the moon and back last week and I hope to see that again after Plague cheesed and haxed mewbby twice. Karma will strike here
 
Dubious Ducks (5) vs (5) Taunting Talonflames
SV: Shengineer vs S1nn0hC0nfirm3d - highlight sv match between two people with weirdly similar building/playing tendencies. new nu room owner buff carries shen
SV: DugZa vs Master Chief - dugza is playing vs someone that was kinda just tossed into the slot and has been quite solid for awhile now in the tier. not a free win but def a clear favorite
SV: Fusien vs Tuthur - the power of kobo will carry tuthur here, but also he's routinely been underrated and fusien hasnt done anything to inspire confidence
SV: loocas13 vs Ming549 - very fun mu here but i gotta go with buddy ming. basically a 50/50 imo
SS: Stareal vs OranBerryBlissey10 - obligated to back my fellow glalie: do not ban teammate, but man stareal has been on one
SM: Hacker vs mind gaming - mind gaming is a stronger player in general but hacker has been on an insane run in sm for so long now that i can't bold against him unless he pulls an hsowa and goes (almost?) winless for a whole tour
ORAS: feen vs LpZ
BW: neomon vs hellom - neomon may just bring some wacky stuff and win but hellom is quite consistent here historically despite this being a mid tour
DPP: Ninja vs Hubriz
ADV: Plague vs Fogbound Lake - really like plague's diversity in team choices DESPITE THIS SHITHEAD FULLCHAINING ME :) this is a highlight match for sure

tiebreak i imagine is shen v s1nn0h for sv, ducks pick sm, tflames pick ss i guess? dont feel like there's a clear good pick for them and i think i favor ducks in a tiebreak for that reason.
 
Dubious Ducks (5) vs (4) Taunting Talonflames

SV: Shengineer vs S1nn0hC0nfirm3d - SHENGINEER didn’t post shitty, unfunny bits on PHD BJ’s scheduling attempt with tooter. weird behavior from someone pushing 30, can’t bold him for said reasons

SV: DugZa vs Master Chief - PLOOM vs elekid, hard choice but I lean douglas just on aura

SV: Fusien vs Tuthur - I will not bold tuthur under any circumstance unless my family is taken hostage and I have a gun to my head

SV: loocas13 vs Ming549 - I recently found out ming is a 76ers fan so gg, loocas also has insane aura

SS: Stareal vs OranBerryBlissey10 -PLOOM

SM: Hacker vs mind gaming - cooler name and not cringe

ORAS: feen vs LpZ - feen is a homie but I remember a game where he let his liepard get burned for zero fucking reason

BW: neomon vs hellom- neomon is not only boring in the builder, but he ruined my predicts from last week

DPP: Ninja vs Hubriz - tyler is the only good thing to come out of brazil

ADV: Plague vs Fogbound Lake - glalie explodes 12 times and nobody wins, everyone is dead
