Welcome to Smogon! Take a moment to read the Introduction to Smogon for a run-down on everything Smogon, and make sure you take some time to read the global rules.
The title says it all, but if you still don't know, the song will give more clarity. I swear my money is serious, I will shuffle these brackets to my liking. I'll be matching up friends vs friends, foes vs foes, as a result the best tour players may all be knocked out early as I'll be rigging the bracket.
Rules:
All games will be played on play.pokemonshowdown.com or smogtours.psim.us.
This is a best of 3 (Gen 8) SS Monotype tournament and you may switch teams between matches.
This tournament is single-elimination.
Do not complain about the brackets.
Replays are encouraged to be posted in this type of tour but are not mandatory.

Confluxx vs Vodoom - vod gonna body fluxx, no doubt about it
iLlama vs Ssalbap - People get on me for having a 'Fortnite' reference in my name, this mans a fucking llama. go bap 'w' Skysolo vs wehavecancer - idk how we went from han and ben to skysolo, but i'll take star wars references
EnzoLapras vs Kipkluif - who?
K3ppr vs Floss - This Rick asstley wannabe is going to get his ass handed to him
Chaitanya vs Kaguya Lys - was on a blt team with both, but chait's disowned me since mpl mocks so go ayayayaya RudyRudy. vs schwipper - both of these guys have suicidal gen 8 water mons as pfps, dunno what to say. Sobble gang tho
Acey - Danse Macabre vs tier - Defcon kinda ass but he's going to win The Thunderbirds vs Yami - This guy has a history of beating rhyps (attri and dugza), so RIP. Both these guys can't schedule for nuts tho lmao
Tico Meu vs (zugubu royale vs Jolly Togekiss ^-^ ) - Winner of zugu jolly takes the next match as well
Geotal vs Endal - no clue, havent seen either play this gen, but dig the zion pfp MetaRiolu7 vs Decem - decem should just ff in respect to MR7 beating Nam for them both
Ronman5 vs GotCookies - Cookies better win so i can roast him next week after he gives me tryouts
OprahN vs TheTrueLegendary - uhhh?
Juuno vs avarice - This should be close, and interesting. If I had to pick, id lean juuno. Neither plays this tier a lot to my knowledge, so 51/49. Twilight Solace vs ed wins - Only doing predicts so someone can call this man mrs abby again.
Pak vs (TSR vs TJ) - Was torn between Pak and TJ, but can't go wrong with dancing NBA players Cam vs Sabella - Cam is hella fire Harpp vs Havens - If Harpp doesn't win, im paying him a visit. Think that's enough motivation
RAP Yogurt vs Crashy - Both these guys are lit =[ can't edge either SirSkit vs Dak Prescott - NFL EWWWWWWWWWWW (not to mention cowboys) Nexecutioner vs (Mateeus vs TheTacoMan) - Yes staraviass, i pinged you on purpose. think nex takes the win by bringing fighting, freebie
Bluxio vs Riku Sakuraba - How can you not root for this guy? Jho vs (neomon vs Cheese5555) - forget the ou and cap guy, wtf is cheese5555 thats even worse than thundaaaaaaaa LMAO jcbc vs crucify - jcbc sounds like a decent name
Pajamazz vs Htaras - Can I really bet against fellow Indians?
blinkboy vs boyn - boyn's winning this tour, hands down Noctrine vs yedla - Who's yedla? aGroove vs chimp - groovy name, also under radar guy who's going to make some noise Blimax vs Triopsman - Can't rlly go wrong betting for the man 2nd on ladder
Souw vs (TezGreninja vs Mordecai & Rigby) - If tezz doesn't avenge pixel, he knows what's coming to him >:[ Caspell vs RottenInfernape - Mirio pfp, and i know him. he takes this by a landslide
Goat predictions that I'm doing instead of prepping for OST.
Confluxx vs Vodoom - I'm going to be honest, I don't think I've seen either of these to use a bug team and that is a Fucking disgrace. Confluxx does some cool rates though iLlama vs Ssalbap - Alpacas are cooler but close enough Skysolo vs wehavecancer - Dude, get your chemo done before you come and play mons, we don't want to see you drop dead mid game EnzoLapras vs Kipkluif - Apparently Kipkluif means chickenwing, which would warrant a bold on its own, however with a little more digging I found that this dude is actually a disgraced former Colonel and I just can't bold someone who has committed war crimes K3ppr vs Floss - OK fuck this shit, this should be my game right here, all the blood sweat and tiers (haha getit) I shed last week to get myself in a position to win was all for naught as K3ppr haxed me and stole my spot in round two. Floss really has no chance in this unfair battle.
Chaitanya vs Kaguya Lys - Oh my Lord this here is the battle of the heavy weights, only recent beef to be fair but beef nonetheless. Kaguya is an expert Johnner and an absolute pro at hiding his replays, and I think Chaitanya might be ok at mons or something idk. Edging Kaguya as I think Chait will be too angry to play RudyRudy. vs schwipper - All I can think of when i see schwipper is that shitty get schwifty song from rick and morty and I really can't bold that
Acey - Danse Macabre vs tier - Danse macabre could be a really cool song but imo falls flat a little bit, tier gave me some spicy ou teams for ost round 1 The Thunderbirds vs Yami - Is Yami going to John their way into round 3? I don't think so in this case, Could win from the magma clause though so we will see
Tico Meu vs (zugubu royale vs Jolly Togekiss ^-^ ) - The battle of the polls is still going, personally I think zugu's are shit and make no sense so I am backing JT here, idt Tico has made any polls so JT wins that by default
Geotal vs Endal - If Endal plays under the flapple alt he will win, if not, he will lose
MetaRiolu7 vs Decem - I've passed Decem some top shelf teams that I made, so if I'm being honest mr7 doesn't have a chance
Ronman5 vs GotCookies - I still don't know whether or not cookies is 13 or 35, but iirc ronman only knows how to play 2 types and neither of them are bug OprahN vs TheTrueLegendary - From daytime tv to the monotype rigged tour, Oprah will not lose
Juuno vs avarice - Avarice is a cool name, reminds me of those mimic things in dark souls Twilight Solace vs ed wins - Does anyone know if this dudes name is actually Ed? He could be referencing his friend 'Ed' winning so I think he might lose this tbh
Pak vs (TSR vs TJ) - I don't know any of these people dudes name is tj though so i guess that Cam vs Sabella - I think these guys are supposed to be good, idk anyone tbh
Harpp vs Havens - I really don't know tbh, both are pretty good RAP Yogurt vs Crashy - damn I had something copied for the last predictions I did with rap in them but I can't be arsed finding them SirSkit vs Dak Prescott - like 3rd best spider in mons, but better than whatever a dak is
Nexecutioner vs (Mateeus vs TheTacoMan) -
It's nine o'clock on a Saturday
The regular crowd shuffles in
There's an old man sitting next to me
Makin' love to his tonic and gin
He says, "Son, can you play me a memory
I'm not really sure how it goes
But it's sad and it's sweet and I knew it complete
When I wore a younger man's clothes"
La la la, di da da
La la, di da da da dum
Sing us a song, you're the Tacoman
Sing us a song tonight
Well, we're all in the mood for a melody
And you've got us feelin' alright
Now John at the bar is a friend of mine
He gets me my drinks for free
And he's quick with a joke or to light up your smoke
But there's someplace that he'd rather be
He says, "Bill, I believe this is killing me"
As the smile ran away from his face
"Well I'm sure that I could be a movie star
If I could get out of this place"
Oh, la la la, di da da
La la, di da da da dum
Now Paul is a real estate novelist
Who never had time for a wife
And he's talkin' with Davy, who's still in the Navy
And probably will be for life
And the waitress is practicing politics
As the businessmen slowly get stoned
Yes, they're sharing a drink they call loneliness
But it's better than drinkin' alone
Sing us a song you're the Tacoman
Sing us a song tonight
Well we're all in the mood for a melody
And you got us feeling alright
It's a pretty good crowd for a Saturday
And the manager gives me a smile
'Cause he knows that it's me they've been comin' to see
To forget about life for a while
And the Taco, it sounds like a carnival
And the microphone smells like a beer
And they sit at the bar and put bread in my jar
And say, "Man, what are you doin' here?"
Oh, la la la, di da da
La la, di da da da dum
Sing us a song you're the Tacoman
Sing us a song tonight
Well we're all in the mood for a melody
And you got us feeling alright
I can't get this song out of my head everytime I see his name, goat tune though
Bluxio vs Riku Sakuraba - Riku is the goat
Jho vs (neomon vs Cheese5555) - Cheese is the superior food
jcbc vs crucify - I don't fucking know dude Pajamazz vs Htaras - The superior clothing option, idk what a htaras is or how you would wear one tbh
blinkboy vs boyn - yep, dont know
Noctrine vs yedla - Yedla is aldey backwards which sounds like aldi which is a cheap german supermarket chain we have in aus, so ez win tbh aGroove vs chimp - Orangutans are the superior apes
Blimax vs Triopsman - 3 eyes man can see all
Souw vs (TezGreninja vs Mordecai & Rigby) - Greninja was too good for gen 6 iirc and will be too good for these two matchups Caspell vs RottenInfernape - Caspell the friendly spanish ghost (i hope its spanish and not like portuguese, if so sry) vs a guy that could be banned soon, ez win when the banhammer falls down tbh
smacked this salty ass trash ass kid in 3. shit wouldve been in 2 but his lucky ass had to crit rotom LMAO and bitchass complains about g3 crit when he needed to hit 1/4 like twice
