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 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.​
• All players must conform to the username requirements specified here. In short, alts must be voiced on the Smogtours server, and/or closely resemble the player's Forum Name in an identifiable way.​

SV: Shadow079 vs HAVOCKNIGHT - child is 50% likely to follow unc's footsteps
SV: etern vs Thiago Nunes - I don't know TNunes' SV well enough to bold for him
SV: col49 vs JJ09LIE - don't know either well enough

Tailor-made Talonflames (0) vs (0) Flamigo Amigos
SV: THE_CHUNGLER vs OranBerryBlissey10 - obb's alolaslash will get chungled

SV: Tuthur vs Ming549 - Tuthur will suffer a similar fate to mine
SV: milliongatejumpguy vs S1nn0hC0nfirm3d [HL] - a 35-65 matchup, I will personally be rooting for mgjg but it's hard not to predict against the tourbanned SPL guy

Diancies are Forever (0) vs (0) Glacial Glastriers
SV: Diamonds_realm vs lotiasite - D_r's experience will shine through
SV: Gondra vs tier - Gondra beat me, I beat tier. By that logic, tier wins this.

[Django]

18/28 last week, 37/57 overall


Tailor-made Talonflames (4) vs (6) Flamigo Amigos
SV: THE_CHUNGLER vs OranBerryBlissey10 - they've both had OK starts, I think OBB playing this tier more will come through
SV: Kingler vs Shengineer - Shen will continue to farm
SV: Tuthur vs Ming549 - surprisingly both have started 0-2, I think Tuth is more likely to bounce back at this stage
SV: milliongatejumpguy vs S1nn0hC0nfirm3d - experience will win out but would love to see a mgjg upset here
SS: The Strap vs Stareal - keep bolding stareal he keeps winning
SM: EviGaro vs Hacker - Hacker got back to winning ways last week and expect it to stay that way
ORAS: poh vs Brandonlee1 - I believe in 3-poh
BW: Bughouse vs Tack - I don't believe in 0-3house
DPP: Expulso vs Sirwings - 2-0 vs 0-2, expect Expulso to keep winning
ADV: Oathkeeper vs goldmason - oldmason will beat oldkeeper

The Krusty Krab (4) vs (6) Vitriolic Vileplumes
SV: zS vs Ruffles - I think zS will build better and win
SV: entrocefalo vs Fusien - even though Fusien has not had the best start I think he is a great player
SV: Envy vs Cow - Cow has been good so far and picked up a great win vs Danny
SV: brick vs big tony 2014 - Bricks tough start continues, and I think Tony's unique building can take advantage of his tendencies
SS: damien the genius vs C0nfiden1 0yster - damien is really good
SM: Kiyo vs Xiri - Last on the PRs will continue to upset everyone
ORAS: lighthouses vs Ampha - honestly about as close to a coinflip as there is this week
BW: Kaboom vs Baddy - only two undefeated BW players left, Baddy seems to have luck on his side at the moment
DPP: JabbaTheGriffin vs Heysup - extreme 2009 matchup, Jabba seems very locked in right noe
ADV: violet river vs mielke - river doesn't seem motivated for this tour at all

Diancies are Forever (6) vs (4) Glacial Glastriers
SV: Diamonds_realm vs lotiasite - Realm and Diancies SV in general is off to a great start. Expect it to continue here
SV: Gondra vs tier - this will be closer than the above
SV: Dangerous vs GeniusX - Rik seems back to full power so I gotta back my boy, but another very close game
SV: DugZa vs hellom - very cool match, want to watch this one
SS: Pokeslice vs aerobee - Slice should gap in the builder and carry through that way
SM: Bouff vs Fc - Fc is really good at this tier
ORAS: asa vs NoName6293 - Asa hasn't looked great so far and noname got lucked last week
BW: Real FV13 vs MZ - Predicting a bit of an upset, MZ got brutally crit by etern so and FV has a tendency to get unlucky
DPP: neomon vs HSOWA - Not the best start from neomon, backing UK gang HSOWA
ADV: Xrn vs SEA - HL of the week tbh, slightly backing Xrn but anyone could take it
