Week 1 | Week 2 | Week 3 | Week 4 | Week 5 | Week 6 | Week 7 | Semifinals | Finals
Administrative Decisions | Replays and Usage Stats | Spreadsheet

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.​
TERA BLAST IS BANNED IN SV. DO NOT USE IT. USING IT IS AN AUTOMATIC LOSS. NO EXCEPTIONS.

:Vivillon:Vibrant Vivillons (5) vs (5) :Glastrier:Glacial Glastriers
SV: LB vs GeniusX - GeniusX was fighting the will of god last week and won
SV: Django vs hellom - feel inclined to bold django as we practically loaded the same team last week
SV: Shadow079 vs tier - probably the most exciting match of the week shadow123 has a lot to prove here
SV: spell vs lotiasite - seeing spell's 0 ghost 0 dragon resist team makes me think etern isn't paying attention to this slot
SS: Dr. Phd. BJ vs aerobee - while pure hackmons might translate to oras nu it didn't seem like it translates to ss and the doc is very good
SM: elodin vs Fc - fire mu fc is definetly the favored especially since he should've won last week but elodin with eternally builds is scary
ORAS: Abejas vs NoName6293 - this one's just a gut feeling abe has more experience but noname is kinda sick nasty with it
BW: etern vs MZ - ducky shouldn't be starting 0-2 and I still have no idea how good mz is at this tier
DPP: BeatsBlack vs HSOWA - nepo bold I know I just hope the disappearence of the avatar drudAANGon doesn't effect his prep
ADV: Rabia vs SEA - if the retain wasn't gone yet it certainly is now, sorry rabert but I rate sea higher

:Musharna:Money Maker Musharnas (5) vs (5) Flamigo Amigos:Flamigo:
SV: mind gaming vs OranBerryBlissey10 - I trust mind will not bring some dogshit like lo scyther this time while obb will continue to load aslash
SV: HAVOCKNIGHT vs S1nn0hC0nfirm3d - feels wrong bolding against my biggest fan last week but I feel havoc is a real dark horse in this pool
SV: Fogbound Lake vs Shengineer - past experience decitates that sheng will get lucky and fog will not be happy about it either way fire mu
SV: JJ09LIE vs Ming549 - I rate jj highly as a clicker but I wasn't a super big fan of the build they were given last week so going with ming
SS: Thiago Nunes vs Stareal - X-0 slot
SM: robjr vs Hacker - rob will load simisear and hacker will get traumatized
ORAS: Trade vs Brandonlee1 - ngl I was still expecting feen to move to oras. the ball is in your court now sheng and bernardo
BW: seraphz vs Tack - gut feeling tack's price was higher then seraphz's anyways
DPP: Ninja vs Sirwings - yea we're not bolding against tyler in dpp for a while
ADV: mayo vs goldmason - feel this could go either way but feel mason has plot armor

:Diancie:Diancies are Forever (7) vs (3) The Krusty Krab:Krabby:
SV: Diamonds_realm vs zS - diamonds had the coolest team ever last week while zs had a dragalge without draco
SV: DugZa vs brick - brick is running the full oce gauntlet like let this man rest
SV: Dangerous vs Envy - rik is embracing the paraspam meta very nicely
SV: Gondra vs entrocefalo - diancies sv is really broken tbh
SS: Pokeslice vs damien the genius - I fear slice's no playing no scheduling mentality has hindered his mastery of the tier going with the genius
SM: Bouff vs Kiyo - while bouff is good here kiyo is just cracked so going with him
ORAS: asa vs lighthouses - the mysterously friend tax bolded asa
BW: Real FV13 vs Kaboom - cool mu fv is moving like prime lebron in nu low tiers rn so I gotta go with him
DPP: neomon vs JabbaTheGriffin - "hey where's my friend tax bold"
ADV: Xrn vs violet river - fire mu if river actually shows up seems pretty 50/50 but I'll go with xrn for showing up insurance
 
only 1 predict in week 2, what a flop tour. anyways:

SV: LB vs GeniusX - don't know them, however I found their game last week to be quite exciting
SV: Django vs hellom - unc off
SV: Shadow079 vs tier [HL] - if I can beat tier then shadow can as well
SV: spell vs lotiasite - idk either player's SV well

SV: HAVOCKNIGHT vs OranBerryBlissey10 - purely bolding against OBB for him to stop bringing alolaslash
SV: mind gaming vs S1nn0hC0nfirm3d [HL] - Even if you pointed a gun at my face, I could not tell you who wins this MU
SV: Fogbound Lake vs Shengineer - arguably one of the best SVs
SV: JJ09LIE vs Ming549 - please don't let me be the only one to ever get hyper beamed t1

SV: Diamonds_realm vs zS - equally matched, this comes down to team preview IMO
SV: DugZa vs brick [HL] - out of principle
SV: Dangerous vs Envy - I've missed rik man
SV: Gondra vs entrocefalo - Gondra is just incredibly solid (I know that firsthand), and I don't know entrocefalo's SV well enough yet

Click to expand...
I was going to ask what you were smoking but then I realized the prediction template doesn't match the actual matchups
 
18/29 last week...let's do better

:Musharna:Money Maker Musharnas (5) vs (5) Flamigo Amigos:Flamigo:
SV: mind gaming vs OranBerryBlissey10 - hard to bold against mind in like 95% of mus
SV: HAVOCKNIGHT vs S1nn0hC0nfirm3d
SV: Thiago Nunes vs Shengineer - similar to above there are very few places to bold against shen
SV: JJ09LIE vs Ming549 - I think the better player overall will win here
SS: Luck O' the Irish vs Stareal - bold Stareal every week
SM: robjr vs Hacker - I fucked up last week not trusting Hacker to win, but he does still suck
ORAS: Trade vs Brandonlee1 - more tier experience will shine through
BW: seraphz vs Tack - more results and experience in this tier
DPP: Ninja vs Sirwings
ADV: mayo vs goldmason - goldmason has plot armour it appears

:Talonflame:Tailor-made Talonflames (3) vs (7) Vitriolic Vileplumes:Vileplume:
SV: Danny vs Cow - Danny isn't playing a single game this season and Cow will beat whoever the sub is
SV: Tuthur vs Ruffles - Tuth had some cool sets w1, expect to see that creativity carry him to a win here
SV: milliongatejumpguy vs big tony 2014 - Cramorabia showdown, I think Tony is better in the builder and will have the edge
SV: THE_CHUNGLER vs Fusien - cool matchup, will be very close
SS: The Strap vs C0nfiden1 0yster - Strap owned slice last week, he's locked in
SM: EviGaro vs Xiri - Both coming off a loss last week, I think Xiri is more likely to bounce back
ORAS: poh vs Ampha - Poh had a good start but Ampha keeps winning in ORAS
BW: Bughouse vs Baddy - is it an upset if Baddy wins? not sure...
DPP: Expulso vs Heysup - both off to a winning start, this is a fun game to watch for sure
ADV: Oathkeeper vs mielke - Higher level tournament play will pay off here

:Diancie:Diancies are Forever (8) vs (2) The Krusty Krab:Krabby:
SV: Diamonds_realm vs zS - Throwback to dragmag, Realm will prep this one hard and win
SV: DugZa vs brick - Sorry brick, tough run but DugZa is too strong
SV: Dangerous vs Envy - Good win w1 from Rik w1, he looks solid
SV: Gondra vs entrocefalo - Gondra is better + more likely to show up
SS: Pokeslice vs damien the genius - Slice will win this one in the builder vs Lyra
SM: Bouff vs Kiyo - Kiyo had a good start and I think is underrated in SM
ORAS: asa vs lighthouses - go asa
BW: Real FV13 vs Kaboom - both had "upset" wins last week, I think FV is just in amazing form across the board
DPP: neomon vs JabbaTheGriffin - Jabba is lucky + good
ADV: Xrn vs violet river - if river shows up this is a banger
 
:Musharna:Money Maker Musharnas (7) vs (3) Flamigo Amigos:Flamigo:
SV: mind gaming vs OranBerryBlissey10 - this isn't gen8nu idk why it says obb is playing
SV: HAVOCKNIGHT vs S1nn0hC0nfirm3d
SV: Thiago Nunes vs Shengineer - shengineer thunder wave, shengineer ice beam, shengineer water resist, all roads lead to him haxing the dicks off someone
SV: JJ09LIE vs Ming549 - i flipped a coin idk
SS: Luck O' the Irish vs Stareal - there isn't a person I'd bold over Stareal in this meta
SM: robjr vs Hacker - to balance out the nutl predicts, i will be the Hacker Doubter this week
ORAS: Trade vs Brandonlee1 - i regret to inform the reader that i have not heard of brandonlee1 until just now. trade ik has played this tier b4 so i'm gonna sadly bold against brandon until i get to see more games from them
BW: seraphz vs Tack - both play this game a lot but tack seems to win more often
DPP: Ninja vs Sirwings
ADV: mayo vs goldmason - mayo is really good at pokemon and goldmason CHEATED last week

:Talonflame:Tailor-made Talonflames (3) vs (7) Vitriolic Vileplumes:Vileplume:
SV: Danny vs Cow - unsure why it says danny is playing this week
SV: Tuthur vs Ruffles - tuthur wins in these subforum team tours A LOT and ruffles hasnt played svnu before this tour/isnt a guy that god gaps tuthur in play either
SV: milliongatejumpguy vs big tony 2014 - imo i trust tony's teams a bit more but playwise this should be close
SV: THE_CHUNGLER vs Fusien - fusien is a stronger player idk
SS: The Strap vs C0nfiden1 0yster - strap beat a guy that doesnt play pokemon at all last week so sadly im not moved like django is
SM: EviGaro vs Xiri - evi tilts as easily as a newly planted sapling, and xiri just so happens to be extremely good at making people tilt
ORAS: poh vs Ampha - ampha has lowkey farmed recently in oras
BW: Bughouse vs Baddy - hl match, i'll favor mr house to not start 0-2
DPP: Expulso vs Heysup - heysup kinda just despises this tier so im not sure how enthusiastic he comes into this week being
ADV: Oathkeeper vs mielke - oath hasnt said gg in awhile so until he does, he will keep losing

:Diancie:Diancies are Forever (6) vs (4) The Krusty Krab:Krabby:
SV: Diamonds_realm vs zS - this is the hl sv of the week for sure, slight favor to momo despite his team last week being funny in certain regards. the play is just always top notch. not to say realm cant win cuz hes prob a top10 sv nu player sitewide rn its kinda just the same deal as stareal in ss for me
SV: DugZa vs brick - im almost always bricked up for brick but dugza is too good rn
SV: Dangerous vs Envy - riktopher is not washed
SV: Gondra vs entrocefalo - idk i flipped a coin
SS: Pokeslice vs damien the genius - damien has played a real game of pokemon more recently than slice
SM: Bouff vs Kiyo - cant bold against the kid
ORAS: asa vs lighthouses - i think lighthouses is a better pilot + whatever crack kiyo wants to drop (assuming hes supporting)
BW: Real FV13 vs Kaboom - fv has been farming the unc gens recently to too strong of a degree. any other week i'd be more hesitant to bold against kaboom
DPP: neomon vs JabbaTheGriffin - neogod
ADV: Xrn vs violet river - xrn will beat the sub if there is one, otherwise this is a coinflip 2 me
