Tournament PUFF League I - Week Five

Regiboob · Jul 20, 2026

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.

Vamos Fiends 5/5

I'm back after a week of break, for the final rush of qualifications !
... or so i thought, because it seems like the top 4 is already decided rip
But still, there are some interesting matchups to look at, especially with 4 weeks in of results that can help see if those predicts work or not.

:Vigoroth: Vigilante Vigoroths (4) vs (8) Wavebreakers Floatzels :floatzel:

SV: sychillz (16000) (0-3) vs Braga (6500) (2-1)
SV: NDK (9000) (2-1) vs feen (17000) (2-2)
SV: Wappy.kBs (16000) (2-2) vs LuizgamerXD (3000) (2-1)
SV: vbhl (16000) (3-1) vs Mok3s (3000) (0-1)
SS: Don Bork (12000) (2-1) vs hxmo (15000) (3-1)
SM: kimer (3500) (0-1) vs Tack (15500) (2-1)
ORAS: Incognition (6000) (1-2) vs Cyrakii (10500) (1-2)
BW: Bernardo (11000) (0-2) vs Permission Slip (12000) (1-3)
DPP: Ringmaster Uta (4000) (3-1) vs A Welcome Guest (7000) (1-3)
ADV: Loneling (4000) (0-1) vs Azaan (3000) (2-1)
GSC: tylerkehne (3000) (1-3) vs Theycallmephil (20000) (3-1)
RBY: ThatOneApple (3000) (1-3) vs Maris Bonibelle (21500) (3-1)

Starting off strong with a team that didn't slot 3 of their most expensive players (Gawain, Vy and Felilou), probably due to being out, which makes the pronos go all for the Floatzels. I think I would have predicted that general result too, based on the performances of each team so far, but some individual match ups seem to be wrongly predicted by this method, including sychillz vs Braga and Ringmaster Uta vs A Welcome Guest. We can see the value of an underrated pick there, as Braga could win an almost 10k tradeoff in this match up.
Some closer fights will be interesting to follow, for example Don Bork vs hxmo who are close in both prices and records.
Great pairings overall, especially knowing they'll probably load some less tryhard teams now that the race is over.

:bruxish: Bihari Bruxishes (5) vs (7) Freaky Fake Out Fiends :ambipom:

SV: Mik3y (4500) (1-2) vs xSuko (15000) (1-1)
SV: Rahul (3000) (0-2) vs PoseidonWrath (5500) (2-1)
SV: jscurf (12000) (1-2) vs Lennart (11000) (4-0)
SV: Me Empty (9000) (2-2) vs cen344uu (15500) (3-1)
SS: ElectraineHeart (3000) (2-2) vs TakingNotesKinda (3500) (1-1)
SM: Blazing (3000) (0-3) vs GabrieLopez (3000) (4-0)
ORAS: im_m0rtal. (22500) (2-2) vs cute vn (6500) (1-1)
BW: eeriespell (19500) (1-3) vs Wesleyy (7000) (4-0)
DPP: Oathkeeper (20500) (2-2) vs Fantos13 (6000) (2-1)
ADV: bydy (3000) (3-1) vs waterfals (6000) (3-1)
GSC: jus (4500) (1-3) vs KeshBa54 (7000) (3-0)
RBY: Zpice (15000) (3-1) vs Ryzzantheguy (3000) (2-0)

The Fiends have been absolutely crushing it this tour, winning literally every week so far, and being still predicted to win this one based on the prices.
We have a great 3-1 vs 3-1 ADV pairing, a 2-2 vs 1-1 in ORAS that can be interesting to watch and some other close games.
What I will look forward to personally isn't that tho, it's mostly the 3 remaining players in 4-0 this tour, which are all in the Fiends team : Lennart, GabrieLopez and Wesleyy. They are all 3 facing players with scores in negative, so it'll be very interesting to see if their opponents can give their all to make them fall out of their tower.

:rhydon: Rhydon Juans (7) vs (5) Alt Girl Altarias :altaria:

SV: Dead by Daylight (9500) (1-1) vs FoulplayG (16500) (3-1)
SV: budgetplayer (15000) (3-0) vs DannyDoritos (3000) (2-2)
SV: FakeFan0 (3000) (1-3) vs PowerOfMemes (3000) (1-0)
SV: Brolyinthegoat (4000) (1-2) vs Betticus IV (3000) (1-0)
SS: Sagazinha (12500) (2-2) vs Lyra (13500) (3-0)
SM: neomon (14000) (1-2) vs BloodAce (12000) (2-2)
ORAS: DD Joe (17500) (3-1) vs sugar ovens (17000) (3-1)
BW: Estarossa (6000) (3-1) vs ishtar (17000) (3-1)
DPP: AM (15000) (1-3) vs hex (14500) (3-1)
ADV: krwozen (3000) (0-0) vs asa (15000) (1-2)
GSC: Premonitions (10500) (1-2) vs July (3000) (3-1)
RBY: PHB11677 (25500) (3-1) vs ButtGallon (14000) (0-2)

The last match up of this week, probably the one with the most PUPL players involved, with some super interesting pairings like Estarossa vs ishtar in BW and DD-space-Joe vs sugar ovens in ORAS, some known builders in SV on both sides, and lots of 3-win records on both sides.
My personnal HLs are Lyra vs Sagazinha, undefeated so far vs amazing performance last week, and budgetplayer vs DannyDoritos, undefeated so far vs very strong performance in the beginning of the tour, both being newcommers in PU.

very interested to see if the teams will rest a bit building wise or go all in on more original builds this week !
