  • Follow all rules listed here.
  • Schedule via Smogon VMs. It's easier for me to make decisions for activity calls when I 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 me 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.
  • Managers: Please send me your lineups in the same format that I used to post pairings. It makes it much easier to post future rounds more quickly

Will be making predictions for this tournament, but will keep it short for this week only.
DPP OU (Bo3): Le Don vs TyCarter - Unique quirks that differentiate their approach to the tier compared to most people, but Le Don is slightly ahead in terms of building, while being more refined in a way that their structure is more "solid" to the general trends. Playing-wise though, both are evenly skilled. I'll give it like 55:45 just because of the building aspect alone.
DPP OU (Bo3): Eden vs 16bit - 16bit is actually capable of building and making takes that fit in the trend, while Eden is a better clicker. I'll give it 49:51, but I will admit if it comes to a G3, I think Eden's taking it due to stronger player adaptation.

DPP OU (Bo3): Fakes vs Larry - Fakes is slightly better than obviously better than Larry in everything tbh. This is a pure skill player matchup, even if both of them may bring unorthodox builds, Fakes should show in-game to be the clearly better player by the end of the match. 65:35.
DPP OU (Bo3): crying vs Mustounet - Crying's having his time to gain momentum from ADPL, but I think Mustounet will snipe a win here before Crying gains momentum to begin with. Both are above average at making plays and avoiding making bad plays, and play safe/accordingly tbh. I'll give it a 55:45 towards Mustounet.

DPP OU (Bo3): DazzlingCream vs Shitrock enjoyer - Better clicker in most archetypes that Fruhdazi could ever bring, but can see Hugo get unlucky enough, being prone to being tilted mid-set and get upset by Fruhdazi. Otherwise, I'll give it 60:40 for Hugo if he is completely locked in.
DPP OU (Bo3): Django vs Sossa - Django has boomer fundies, but I trust in my boi Sossa for just being the better player by the end of the set. 55:45 to Sossa.

DPP OU (Bo3): LNumbers vs Tenebricite - Gonna be closer than expected since LNumbers may just get the right MU and punish Tenebricite's tendencies when bringing his preferred builds. But I think Tenebricite is favoured in terms of player skill, so it's probably somewhere 52:48-ish, and could go either way.
DPP OU (Bo3): QWILY vs monchooo - I think QWILY is fundamentally the better player and will bring teams that are more favoured to him and the metagame itself. A similar situation to Fakes vs Larry, but it's super close to say it's not going to be so lopsided. Something 55:45 to 58:42 for Qwily tbh.

Good luck to everyone this week. I'll keep a good eye on this tournament ;)

ADV OU WEEK 1 PREDICTS:

ADV OU: BlazingDark vs Plague
ADV OU (Bo3): THE_CHUNGLER vs Padeli

Both banette's adv players have very little experience with ou and have not shown good performances on any tours i'm aware off. Padeli is a known ladder demon and is doing really well in advpl, and plague has played a good ammount of ou, having good results in the last revival. It would not be logical to bold the left duo.

ADV OU: Rambode vs mielke
ADV OU (BO3): pkThunderbolt vs Zpanther

The results are so obvious i dont even need to bold.

ADV OU: Figull400 vs Sato07
ADV OU (Bo3): pixie909 vs NoName6293

The matchups look very even here. Both bolded players have only a slight advantage on my opinion. I'm really looking forward to watching blaise vs noname, both are great players and load a lot of cool stuff.

ADV OU: Kaboom vs Spreek
ADV OU (Bo3): Endill vs Pak

I think spreek has a building edge over kaboom and have a good chance of winning the mu. Now.... endill vs pak...
endill vs pak.png


That was it! Good luck advers
 
sitting this tour out but i'll try and catch as many adv games as i can since the pool seems pretty exciting. here are my week 1 predicts for adv!

ADV OU: BlazingDark vs Plague - pretty close one, and while to my knowledge bd has played more adv in tours than plague, i think plague is stronger in the tier from what i've seen, and has better support.

ADV OU (Bo3): THE_CHUNGLER vs Padeli - go twinks

ADV OU: Rambode vs mielke - rambode's been on the up but mielke's still a cut above, and should be able to exploit rambode's tendencies enough to take the win here.

ADV OU (Bo3): pkThunderbolt vs Zpanther - cool matchup, but i think leech's team preferences tend to match up well into zpanthers. pkleech has also been bossing up in advpl after a long hiatus.

ADV OU: Figull400 vs Sato07 - both players i see quite similarly, but sato is less predictable in the builder which i think gives him an edge in a bo1 setting.

ADV OU (Bo3): pixie909 vs NoName6293 - noname's leveled up his adv a ton recently, and with fruhdazi on the team and presumably giving support, he's a huge threat in this pool. that said, going off recent results, blaise is one of the best advers at the moment. i think her style is a little nerfed in a bo3 setting, but she's still an amazing player and i'm backing her to win this one.

ADV OU: Kaboom vs Spreek - spreek + pak on the same team is genuinely insane. kaboom's solid but spreek is far stronger in the builder and very strong ingame, so i'm pretty confidently bolding him. kaboom definitely has what it takes to win, but I think spreek's just better at this tier.

ADV OU (Bo3): Endill vs Pak - this is an insane week 1 matchup; these are possibly the top 2 players in the pool. this is pretty close to even imo, but given endill's recently played spl, advpl and now playing invitational, i think this tour might not be his biggest priority. in my eyes endill has higher highs but pak is the more consistent of the two, so giving a slight edge to pak. really looking forward to this one.

So boom, rby has a bit where when someone says "so nobody cares about (insert tournament here) ?" predictions have to be made. I'm tired so these are low effort, looks like a fun pool let's get into it


RBY OU (Bo3): Maris Bonibelle vs violet river
I think this is a p even match up, although I'd say Maris is a little more versatile in the builder who is willing to use standard and some wild chanseyless offenses. I've also skimmed through some games and I've seen "got lucky gg" at least 15 times. Idk if thats a bit or they're extremely fortunate LOL but yea. Teamed with river in spl and her prep was good for me some weeks. I think she can be a bit clicky sometimes so let's see how it turns out.
RBY OU (Bo3): SamuelBest vs Melbelle
I'm not too familiar with either tbh. I do know melbelle is a HUGE tilter though and any kind of luck might just be the end of the set mentally. I believe samuel is decent however mel made cup finals so going with them.
RBY OU (Bo3): NotVeryCake vs RealJester
I like both as players, cake has improved alot since last year ill admit. Jester has had a great spl season and is decent at rby. He seems like he wants to put in lots of effort to become elite like he is at gsc and this tour will show it.
RBY OU (Bo3): King Billu vs Kristyl
Canadian off, I think Kristyl is better as a player although billu has been playing this longer anything can happen.
RBY OU (Bo3): SoulWind vs KeshBa54
Think there's just a big skill dif here+kesh likes alot of genesis teams which I feel are kinda out of meta atm.
RBY OU (Bo3): Unowndragon vs YBW
Played him alot over the years and im a fan, even though dragon just won seasonals.
RBY OU (Bo3): Ctown6 vs GirlsSeeGhosts
Yooo cool match up, think ctown is a balls to the wall kinda guy and even though he lost the last encounter I believe he will take this 1. Gsg kinda has troller philosophy in their teams now, lots of jynx mie don in their scout mixed in with their usual picks. Could also beat ctown 2-0 just a feeling.
RBY OU (Bo3): virae vs Ulti Bastion
Mini chuva has been on a tear with his chanseyless offenses and other weird teams. Also a small fan, not too familiar with viraes game so just picking the more familiar choice.

Best of luck to everyone in the tournament, and to everyone playing rby glhf :heart:
