Replays / Usage Stats​
  • Follow all rules listed here.
  • Schedule via Smogon VMs. It's easier for us 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. Managers, please ping the opposing team's pingable role to inform them.
  • 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, but they also contribute to usage stats and allow the people who couldn't watch the games live to watch them later.

Magic Guardians vs 20/20 Virizion
SV: Evie vs feen - Cool matchup, Evie has been sweating for seasonal lately and this is her breakout tour in the tier I think, not a great draw week one but I think they're comparable clickers and Evie has a lot of room to build creatively here for a team with no other dedicated SV builder. 55/45
SV: Sabella vs seed - Sabella is the better clicker than my former RUPL co (who, btw, drafted the Cookers here but didn't fucking get me), but I do think seed will pull out a win here with some creative teambuilding. 49/51
SV: hi.naming is hard vs DripLegend - Two clickers, Drip is better I think and will likely get passed something with a little more finesse than gew will. 45/55
SV: Ac1D vs Txunt! - Txunt beat the criminal allegations and Feli is now taking all the credit for anything he ever does as his "tutor", but I digress. Txunt is a better builder and player at the moment, pretty safe bold imo. 35/65
SS: sol vs C0nfiden1 0yster - Two of the most dedicated SS slots, but Oyster is way more invested in mons than sol is lately and already lucked him in RUPL (not forgiven) so I will take the odds to run it back here. 49/51
BW: McLovin vs FastCarVroom!!! - Vroom gets to start week one after a nice couple of games in RUPL, I am happy to see him in BW and hope luck is on his side this tour - McLovin is a fine pilot and will not be a freeby by any means but I expect Vroom to come out hot. 40/60

Zui Zoruas vs Borussia Donphans
SV: Hacker vs Soul king0 - Hacker has had some unfortunate luck in SCL that sheet warriors won't respect but his play and teams have been more than good enough, I expect a pretty convincing win here. 70/30
SV: Ampha vs 8truc - Comparable clickers, Ampha is more invested in SV RU I guess but his RUPL was pretty lackluster and I think he's gonna struggle early in a new meta while 8truc has better help in the SV builder. 45/55
SV: Drud vs MachJacob - Drud is definitely the better clicker but is locked in for SCL and I don't think AJ is gonna pass something good enough to autopilot to a win vs MJ, who has been a very consistent presence in the tier the last few tours. This is lowkey a highlight game to me. 49/51
SV: AJ vs Tsuki - Tsuki's return to RU will make waves, she is still just as bad at mons as she was when she got forced into retirement but she is lucky and is going to click so damn fast and somehow win here I just feel it in my bones. 45/55
SS: The Strap vs dunoks - Not a big SS enjoyer generally but these matchups this week are actually pretty cool, can't bold against THE STRAP though. 60/40
BW: Baddy vs Ming549 - Ming hiding in BW to start the tour will not go unnoticed, bolding Baddy based on principle (and he's the better clicker). 55/45

Rising Sandstorm vs Tsareena Bisexual Divas
SV: Daharan vs Lana - Bolding against Lana is tough but Daha has shown up lately and has The French boost in the builder (and The French luck in-game), so expect this to be a close game that Daha pulls through with. 55/45
SV: THE_CHUNGLER vs Plague - Chung returns to SV after being stuck in ADV hell in RUPL, not sure this is much of an upgrade but I think he will lose this week against Plague, who has shown his high ceiling as a clicker across a bunch of tours the past year or so. 45/55
SV: Kitoothe vs Jojen - Not gonna lie here don't really keep up with either of these two but I know Jojen has impressed me before and this seems reasonable. 40/60
SV: Musashi vs Skyiew - TBDs somehow got both The Jerk and The Brazilians which is crazy by the other managers to let this happen, Skyiew is a great clicker and I don't know or care who is passing teams here, they should win comfortably. 30/70
SS: Metallica126 vs DugZa - Metallica continues to excel wherever he is put and is one of the most active builders and players across so many tiers, I think he will build something pretty fire and pull up with a big win over a tough opp in Dug. 51/49
 
:sigilyph:Magic Guardians (5) vs (5) 20/20 Virizion:Virizion:
SV: Evie vs feen - evie had a great ssnl run but i think feen is a bit higher quality as a player overall and also has been building/playing a bunch bc of scl and whatnot so will go with gut
SV: Sabella vs seed - i think seeds been improving as a clicker recently and has the WAY superior sv support core
SV: hi.naming is hard vs DripLegend - metallica buff moment
SV: Ac1D vs Txunt! - txunt is imo one of the best breakouts of 2025 and i expect strong things from this slot all tour
SS: sol vs C0nfiden1 0yster - sol is the last true bastion of ss ru and although his results this year havent been tremendous, he is still a tremendous guy so ill bold him here
SM: Cielau vs lza - ciel has been pretty good in classic so i have a lot of faith in him riding the momentum into this tour
BW: McLovin vs FastCarVroom!!! - bw ru
SS: ComputerWhiz vs Hoops - ss ru cup winner should have a pretty easy time of it? i havent really heard of computerwhiz across anywhere before so this will be cool to see how he stacks up in ss
SM: Leni vs IcyPenguin2 - i have no prior info on icypenguin and his involvement in sm ru or ru in general like at all so I'll go with leni who has at least somewhat a reputation in ru
ADV: Sneakyplanner vs DD Joe - im not so plugged into adv ru to know if dd joes been making waves but im pretty familiar with sneaky so ima trust the team captain to pull thru this week

:flygon: Rising Sandstorm (5) vs (5) Tsareena Bisexual Divas:Tsareena:
SV: Daharan vs Lana - daharan has had a solid year but he still feels a lil inexperienced to me and lana is a pretty consistent clicker with great sv support so i feel pretty good with this bold
SV: THE_CHUNGLER vs Plague - quietly just one of the better sv ruers we've had in the tier for a while and currently on a burner in ssnl, i imagine chungod will put up big numbers this tour
SV: Kitoothe vs Jojen - no clue what kitoothes involvement with ss ru has been and ive teamed with jojen for a few tours/seen his process and clicking up close so i feel pretty good to give him the bold
SV: Musashi vs Skyiew - metallica buff
SS: Metallica126 vs DugZa - i like metallica a lot but his play can be a bit straightforward at times and dug is a known nonsense bringer so i think its definitely favored towards him
SM: lighthouses vs Premonitions - diogo had a really strong tour in rubd, i imagine he'll have another strong tour in cl, especially week 1 since again i have no clue who premonitions is/how familiar they are with this tier. I think for sm this is like especially true just bc theres a TON of nonsense that can be running around and u can get like owned if ur not familiar with it
BW: jackuzzler vs Accel - bw ru
SM: robjr vs Nat - i was told prediction format was wrong so thats fun, rob > nat bc reasons
BW: Guille vs seraphz - bw ru
ADV: Hubriz vs muks - ishtar was flexing this guy as the goat in disc so like u better be the goat

:feraligatr: The Feraliburn (5) vs (5) Devious Diancies :Diancie:
SV: Nemosse vs LBN - lbns been on a tear this year but also like, he will sabotage himself both in builder/in game if not careful so hard to say with certainty what happens here
SV: zause vs FlamPoke - i am unsure of how this one will go too, neither of these guys have a lot of recent showings as far as actual gaming, zause had a pretty good ssnl run i think though so will go with that? flams also been in scl mode which is cool but his teams kinda just devolved to spamming offense every week which is meh
SV: sufys vs Sir Tetris - great year for sufys, hes been doing great things in ru and has claimed to want to actively build and stuff in the tier again so hopefully thats cool
SV: Fragments vs TJ - fragments is my boy but i think tj is a higher quality clicker and theres a non zero chance with the sv support in this chat they send frag in with a nu team so ehhhh
SS: OranBerryBlissey10 vs Runo - i like obb a lot as a player/builder and although theyre still like relatively new to messing around with the tier i feel like there are enough results to merit the bold here
SM: Master Chief vs Oathkeeper - its been a tough few months for oath results wise and mc has a TON of experience with sm so i feel like this is a pretty reasonable bold
ORAS: Dlanyer vs Rarelyme - FRENCH BATTLE
SM: Elfuseon vs fvkumean - VAI CORINTHIANS
BW: GoldCat vs neomon - bw ru
ADV: Feliburn vs bydy - there were TWO sm slots this week and NEITHER went to feli which is like... ok sure that guy lives and breathes for that tier but adv is cool too, theres like... mantine! thats shared betwen the two tiers, bydy i remember being pretty solid at this tier so will give them the nod this week
