Administrative Decisions | Replays & Usages Coming Soon | Spreadsheet Coming Soon

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.​

[HiZo]

next time this happens can we ban chessking

 

[pannu]

OM COTTA LEAGUE COTTDCITS


Grandiose Gracedias (1) vs (7) Slashing Leaves
AAA: Betticus IV vs Greybaum
Betticus building is like white people seasoning and Greybaum building is like any other cuisine. I honestly dont know what to expect here but i think grey might be playing more aaa recently so ill go for that
PiC: HiZo vs zee
Zee signup specified that they did not wanna play pic, they are playing pic w1 AINTNOWAYYYYYYYY ngl i would not be motivated if my managers did ts to me
BH: Rei vs TTTech
TTTech is p good albiet is prone to getting complacent and playing sloppy, that being said idt ive ever seen rei beat someone in bh other than fish, which hardly counts imo. I think he had a good run in OMFL bh tho so maybe he can win
STAB: Clem vs One Last Kiss
Clem obviously has the experience advantage but OLK was clicking p decent in PL and i dont think techs building is that much worse compared to QT's. Clem also stated he wanted someone to help build teams and he did infact not get that so unless prep is out sourced (which i doubt he'll care enough to do) that might be a major strain
ORAS PH: Electra102 vs sussyamongusdrip
I am not intune with PH whatsoever, but from what ive heard from ph 'friends', i think mayo is just a more impressive builder and clicker
Inheritance: RoFnA vs DripLegend
0 clue what either of these teams are gonna look like tbh but drip has more experience and i think the clicks are about equal? either player could def get away with a mu fish or prep difference tho
Camo: eeriespell vs ghostlike
Mato VR glazed ghosty alot, and im inclined to agree with that. Honest to god i do not remember who eerie is but ik theyre a namechange that i recognize so i wanna say its someone whose quite good.
Alphabet: Ineros vs Baddy
Clicker advantage ig? i dont know at all what to expect irt teams anywhere here but i think baddy has more impressive building and builders if he wishes to outsource it

Zangetsu Zacians (6) vs (2) Noxious Nightshades
MnM: zastra vs Tanny89k
Spiritually this is a Loss bc fuck this guy for artficially prolonging w1, but i cant lie and say that he hasnt been very impressive in MNM recently, I vaguely remember tanny playing it but she has 0 build support outside of tbp who might pass an old team. i think zas has this
MnM: FlamPoke vs seraphz
Pookie is familiar with MnM and has better building support, this is just echoing much of what i said above if i were to write more on this MU
PiC: NovaFish21 vs GhastlyPixie
As my teammate in PL, i was very impressed by both novafishes in game skill and dedication to prep, pix is no slouch in pic but i think nova is just stronger
PiC: Evie vs damflame 3
Lebron James in the NFL, Im honestly not sure why nightshades picked PIC here cuz i think having damf somewhere like GG or AAA wouldve given better odds but oh well
Camo: Mossy Sandwich vs jb291
Stronger builder, more motivated and better clicker
Forme: Taka vs Tbp24
Im excited to see what TBP will cook up, hes been very motivated to play some of the more fun tiers in this tour so i think hes gonna pop off this weke, i dont think taka is a slouch and chessking is definetly good building support, very good in fact but i still think TBP will just do TBP things here
Forte: Plague vs duckycrater
Duckycrater might be a forte main but i know plague is a good clicker so
ORAS PH: Treeko928 vs lag=bad
Experience Differential

Heart Takers (5) vs (3) MOCCing Machamps
BH: Ivar57 vs Clas
Just better and more consistent at BH
PiC: yuki vs crow crumbs
I trust yukis building alot more
AAA: O1V7O2X9O vs Kaif
I think kaif has played aaa bit before but i cant remember him extensively playing it, O1+ mato is a tried and tested combo and obviously theres ivar to support that. I will say that despite my confidence in o1 winning this i am VERY excited to see what kaif will bring
STAB: KeshBa54 vs xdRudi.exe
Sammy is a good builder but i cant say i recognize keshba as a 'strong clicker', rudi has good teams and more meta familiarity and skill, pretty confident in this bold
Forme: kDCA vs LB
this guy was dming me like all week about formemons on some bullshit i think hes gonna cook idk
ORAS PH: NToTheN vs realExcaliju
I think n is pretty comfortably the best non managing ph, but i know excaliju has clicking chops + experience as well. could go either way as with all these mus but i prefer N i think.
SP: Axzel vs vnmmv
One of the 5 good sp players, one of the 2 that signed up and the only one drafted. i think vnm should farm this pool
Inheritance: SammyCe123 vs Don Vascus
Mannen vad i hela helvetet gör du i min tier? stanna i BH eller STAB lilleman, du är värdelös och suger röv på fickmonster. Don obv has the knowledge advantage here but he is very prone to being Cteamed and i think hes a bit rusty TBH, i think the balance slop approach to inh that ive succeeded with could work for sammy asw but with that in mind i think wednesday frog could cook something devious against that. Very excited to see this

i realize now that i forgot to write hl's so ill just do top 5 games im excited abt

1. Betti v Grey
2. Sammy v don
3. o1 v kaif
4. Ineros v baddy
5. Nova v Pix

 

[LycanrocWastaken]

ORAS PH: NToTheN (60) vs realExcaliju (40)
Both pretty good clickers. Building wise, both players don't have much meaningful support, so we'll see what happens, they're both decent builders anyways. N is slightly favoured because I wasn't really a fan of Excaliju hpl2 teams. Nonetheless, still a fun game.

ORAS PH: Treeko928 (45) vs lag=bad (55)
Treeko is a really good pilot so he can probably pick up this. Lag has really good experience in ORAS tour building so he's a bit favoured. Depends on how lag=bad pilots and whether the mu is in favour of which.


Also teamo schedule thank

ORAS PH: teamo vs LycanrocWastaken
Forme: Quinn vs Swas idk
Both team did great flex slot I wouldn’t be surprised if this end on a 4-4.

[Chessking345]

Italic represents the side that picked the slot, works since no other pairing has dupe slots.
Giga Genshin Impacters (5) vs (3) Prometeo Primeapes
GG: Atha vs Les2BG
Having both finalists probably is cheating. Building and playing are both better here.
MnM: QT vs Kinetic
MnM is QT's main tier, it is not Kinetic's main tier, although one must wonder why placu isn't here.
PiC: tkhanh vs Chromate
Neither side has significant support from team, Chromate has insane records and experience to back off here.
STAB: Tempo di anguria vs avarice
This I think is close with support from the players in the MnM slot, avarice I feel like I have seen in STAB very often though so I'll bold that side for experience.
Inheritance: pannu vs Glory
pannu knowledge gaps.
Trademarked: Ziek_Freek vs Fraise
Ziek_Freek is like one of the only Trademarked players, and this tier seems relatively straightforward to gain an advantage from build.
ORAS PH: teamo vs LycanrocWastaken
teamo is better clicker, however they have been like wholly reliant on aerobee teams before, and they are playing against aerobee's team.
Forme: Quinn vs Swas
Primeapes have Glory but I don't think this tier is particularly complicated to build and Quinn has already played numerous games in No Johns, with pannu support should have an edge.

Grandiose Gracedias (3) vs (5) Slashing Leaves
AAA: Betticus IV vs Greybaum
This is really close in all aspects but Betticus has more players to bounce ideas off of.
PiC: HiZo vs zee
What pannu said. If zee has to start PiC then it suggests Leaves don't have much if any PiC support, while HiZo's side is stacked with support.
BH: Rei vs TTTech
TTTech always gets clowned on but he dropped like only one game of BH in OMPL against the really strong Bo3 pool, and he is also consistent vs lighter competition.
STAB: Clem vs One Last Kiss
OLK has decent support here and while Clem has support (so they won't cry and throw up) in Betticus the OMPL records suggest OLK here.
ORAS PH: Electra102 vs sussyamongusdrip
I think this is one of the more confusing flex picks, sussy is way more established.
Inheritance: RoFnA vs DripLegend
I don't actually see the inheritance main on either side (not that they really exist) but maybe Shaymins picked Inh by RoFnA's request which means he has something planned and he's pretty good too.
Camo: eeriespell vs ghostlike
ghostlike plays Camo and is highly rated by Siamato, must mean something.
Alphabet: Ineros vs Baddy
I have no clue about this matchup, I guess I will go with the flex pick side, since their other picks seemed very sensible.

Heart Takers (6) vs (2) MOCCing Machamps
BH: Ivar57 vs ANinjaDude
Ivar is cracked and insane, Clas would've been slightly tougher but still Ivar would've been very favoured. Doesn't help that Ivar is really solid into the kinds of random offense cheese we might see.
PiC: yuki vs crow crumbs
Not super clear cut since crow crumbs is good at PiC but yuki's side has people like Sammy to support.
AAA: O1V7O2X9O vs Kaif
I think this flex is weird, O1 has been super consistent in AAA now and though maybe this time he doesn't have LordBox support the help from Ivar Sammy is very strong still.
STAB: KeshBa54 vs xdRudi.exe
Sammy can build here but idk if I've seen KeshBa play STAB, meanwhile Rudi is experienced.
Forme: kDCA vs LB
kDCA and AM both seem to know good amount of Forme, I don't think other team has many people that know Forme.
ORAS PH: NToTheN vs realExcaliju
I think this flex is also not clear cut since excaliju is very good but does lack great support here and N is more independent which gives him the edge.
SP: Axzel vs vnmmv
vnmmv seems like a SP main, I don't see any other SP mains, this tier seems like having a main would be very useful and advantageous.
Inheritance: SammyCe123 vs Don Vascus
I think Sammy with his squad can easily decrypt Inheritance and maybe become archaeologists into past team cords to steal pannu stuff so I don't think tier knowledge diff is that big here. And clicking wise its Sammy.

Flex pick "homefield" winrate prediction: 20-4

 

[GhastlyPixie]

Giga Genshin Impacters (4.5) vs (3.5) Prometeo Primeapes
GG: Atha vs Les2BG
Atha has proven to be a valiant player, even saying that, les2BG is not to be underestimated at all but I lean towards Atha here.
MnM: QT vs Kinetic
I would never bold against QT, Kinetic is a good player but I do think QT outclasses them.
PiC: tkhanh vs Chromate
Not much to say, Chromate is good.
STAB: Tempo di anguria vs avarice
Idk either of these two.
Inheritance: pannu vs Glory
Why is Glory in inheritance?
Trademarked: Ziek_Freek vs Fraise
Fraise generally seems to be a fine player imo.
ORAS PH: teamo vs LycanrocWastaken
QT build support in ORAS PH is phenomenal but I’m not sure it is enough to secure the win.
Forme: Quinn vs Swas
I think Swas is better.


Grandiose Gracedias (4) vs (4) Slashing Leaves
AAA: Betticus IV vs Greybaum
I think Betticus is better and more in tune with the current meta.
PiC: HiZo vs zee
I haven’t seen much of Zee and assume Hizo clears.
BH: Rei vs TTTech
Unless Tech throws, I think he wins.
STAB: Clem vs One Last Kiss
I think OLK clicks better.
ORAS PH: Electra102 vs sussyamongusdrip
Not sure why ph was picked by the shaymins, I feel sussy is the better player here.
Inheritance: RoFnA vs DripLegend
Also not sure why Inheritance was picked but I trust rofna to outplay.
Camo: eeriespell vs ghostlike
Idt many people beat ghostlike in camo.
Alphabet: Ineros vs Baddy
Better clicker.


Heart Takers (5) vs (3) MOCCing Machamps
BH: Ivar57 vs Aninjadude
Ivar is among one of the best bh plauers in this pool, I think he wins.
PiC: yuki vs crow crumbs
Skill difference.
AAA: O1V7O2X9O vs Kaif
Skill difference.
STAB: KeshBa54 vs xdRudi.exe
Rudi is good at stab.
Forme: kDCA vs LB
I think LB is the better clicker but I could be wrong.
ORAS PH: NToTheN vs realExcaliju
N generally builds and plays better than Excaliju imo.
SP: Axzel vs vnmmv
Skill difference.
Inheritance: SammyCe123 vs Don Vascus
I think Sammy can easily figure out inheritance and skill diff Don. (I also just want someone to quell Don’s ego a bit.)

Pannu vs Not Pannu

 

[drampa's grandpa]

No Tera, Sleep Moves Clause, no OHKO moves, no flinch items, no evasion EDIT: No Sash smh QT

Snorlax vs Primeape

Hide

Snorlax has some tricks it can use on the unexpecting Primeape player, notably Counter, mindgames, Primeape has the overall advantage. With the set provided Primeape can win versus any Snorlax set barring hax.


Primeape @ Eviolite
Ability: Defiant
Tera Type: Fighting
EVs: 252 HP / 72 Atk / 184 Def
Adamant Nature
- Bulk Up
- Reversal
- Low Kick
- Taunt

Reversal is used to avoid getting KO'd by Counter on a ChopleLax. Bulk Up -> Reversal -> Low Kick beats anything Snorlax can do, thanks to Primeapes greater Speed. The only other thing that Snorlax can do is attempt to use Charm, which is shut down entirely by Defiant and loses to Taunt anyway.

Shaymin vs Kartana

Hide

An Assault Vest (weird I know) Kartana is capable of defeating any Shaymin set barring multiple (4) Air Slash flinches.


Kartana @ Assault Vest
Ability: Beast Boost
Tera Type: Grass
EVs: 104 HP / 152 Atk / 252 SpD
Careful Nature
- X-Scissor

Zacian-C

vs Glimmora

Hide

+1 252+ Atk Zacian-Crowned Behemoth Blade vs. 252 HP / 252+ Def Glimmora: 462-546 (124.8 - 147.5%) -- guaranteed OHKO
I guess Glimmora can run Babiri Berry and use Corrosion Toxic + Spiky Shield and pray?

Manaphy vs Machamp

Hide

An Assault Vest Machamp has around a 60% chance of beating a Specs Manaphy through confusion. This same Machamp has only around a 40% chance of beating a Band Manaphy which is using Zen Headbutt, before accounting for Flinch chance (no miss chance cuz No Guard). Overall too close to call.


Manaphy @ Choice Band
Ability: Hydration
EVs: 20 HP / 236 Atk / 252 Def
Impish Nature
- Zen Headbutt

Machamp @ Assault Vest
Ability: No Guard
EVs: 252 HP / 4 Atk / 252 Def
Impish Nature
- Dynamic Punch

You wouldn’t need corrosion toxic. If you run babiri berry, mud shot, earth power, spiky shield, the winner depends on who is running what ev spreads and if you can make the reads, there’s no monotonically best play for either. Sash might be better to avoid the psyfangs and dig mindgames tho.
