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.

Devious Diancies (5) vs (5) Magic Guardians
SV: LBN vs Evie - evie revenge arc starts NOW, I think even though she lost w1 and lbn won, i believe more in some of the ideas evie fleshes out vs whatever random nu goon lbn tries to delude himself into believing is the second coming of jesus every week
SV: FlamPoke vs Sabella - flam BAILED last week but he has cracked the code for modern sv ru, just slap 6 offense guys together and it'll probably work out well
SV: Sir Tetris vs Ac1D - im ngl both these guys got turbo washed week 1, tetris by taka and a crawdaunt clinic and ac1d by txunt and a lucario masterclass so its a bit of a coinflip as far as getting their season back on the right track, ill put a little more stock into the guardians sv support being on the same page maybe?
SV: TJ vs hi.naming is hard - i believe a lil more in tj as a player, ive seen a more impressive body of work from him
SM: Oathkeeper vs TyCarter - tycarter showing off some of his jack of all trades skills moving to sm after his stint in sv last week, im personally very familiar with how good/splashable ty can be so putting my faith in that
ORAS: Rarelyme vs Ruffles - unsure of ruffles availability coming in here but he is at risk of beating himself in builder so he does need to get checked a bit i think, but he's had really good results in this tier in the past and i like him as a clicker in general
ADV: bydy vs Sneakyplanner - SNEAKY REDEMPTION ARC STARTS HERE
SM: fvkumean vs Leni - i like fvkumean a lot with regards to his passion to this tier and i think he'll be itching to get on the board after dropping to elf last week
ORAS: One Last Kiss vs Lyra - this is a really hard tier to get a handle on if you haven't played it a bunch+are familiar with interactions and i really havent seen either of these guys really touch it much at all, as such i will go with olk just bc of his prior body of work, really will be on who learns it the fastest here tho
BW: neomon vs Mister McLovin - bw ru

Rising Sandstorm (6) vs (4) The Feraliburn
SV: Paprikaflow vs Taka - mr flow is coming off a really strong ssnl run compared to taka who really just dominated last week, will put my faith on taka bc of that
SV: THE_CHUNGLER vs Quinn - great win from chungler last week, don't really see a reason for to question he can maintain that performance here
SV: Kitoothe vs Nemosse - i strangely really liked kitoothes build last week, banded migo was cool and forry as removal was an interesting choice, nemosse meanwhile forgor to make his gard trace which like lost him the game on the spot to a flygon so meh
SV: Daharan vs OranBerryBlissey10 - obb was a participating party in one of the more confusing ss games ive seen last week so im giving him a debuff and saying daharan and the french brain trust will pull through
SM: robjr vs Master Chief - first of several peak games upcoming, mc probably will be having a more fun building or testing or whatever with feli and they had a pretty good looking w1 so gonna go with mc favored
ORAS: lighthouses vs Feliburn - more peak, i wanna rate feli higher in oras but feli will also use like... kebia berry sceptile and stuff so who knows!
BW: Guille vs GoldCat - i would also say this is peak, guille highkey cooked himself a bit last week trying that tail glow bp stuff, unsure if that level of crack will make an appearnance again but it almost worked! but gk is sturdier in the tier and i think a lil more practiced lately so going w him
SM: musashi109 vs Elfuseon - metallica buff is buffing!
ORAS: jackuzzler vs Dlanyer - goatuzzler just clutched bwpl playoffs for my team last week so i believe he can pull it out in oras this week too, a lot of it will depend on just getting reps in but im sure thatll be fine
BW: Metallica126 vs Fragments - metalligoat

Zui Zoruas (5) vs (5) Tsareena Bisexual Divas
SV: Hacker vs Lana - both coming off tough w1 losses but i think hacker had infinitely better odds/i really was unimpressed with lanas team w1
SV: Ampha vs seraphz - idk whats been going on with ampha lately but he seems to be pretty busy which has caused him to be a bit flakey as we saw with the sub last week, so i think seraphz should probably be favored here, he's still a pretty good clicker himself and had a nice w1 upsetting guille in bw
SV: Drud vs Jojen - Druds game was one of the bright spots for zoruas last week and i thought he looked pretty good, jojen tbh didnt look terrible w1 but it still stands he got bodied
SV: AJ vs Axzel - i really was unimpressed with the aj gaming last week, had a few opportunities to try and take the game over but didnt take them, also ran the unbelievably unviable ZERO phys bulk blissey which is just insane
SS: The Strap vs Premonitions - THE STRAAAAAAAAP
SM: xXcrossbowXx vs Nat - nat definitely a little too hung up on the scald crit from last week but overall did play a pretty tight game and would've been in a pretty good spot had that crit not happened, xbow binned his rose which i thought looked really good for a 9% phox who kinda lost vs everybody left on evis team 1v1 so meh idk
ADV: Heysup vs muks - heysups always been a bit streaky in these tours so i will believe in the muks hype propaganda for another week
ORAS: MrAldo vs DugZa - oras is a MUCH more natural tier for aldo than bw i think and i think he'll see a lot of success here this week
BW: Baddy vs Accel - bw ru
ADV: Indulge in dreams vs Plague - i am unsure of the extent either of these guys have played adv, so idk, ill go with indulge bc that would result in a tie!

Devious Diancies (6) vs (4) Magic Guardians

SV: LBN vs Evie : Evie is super cool and has some great ideas, she did say she wasn't feeling super motivated by mons atm while LBN is super motivated
SV: FlamPoke vs Sabella : despite never winning against me Flam is good and is having even a good showing in scl. Sabella knows the tier less and seems less in form atm
SV: Sir Tetris vs Ac1D : both got kinda destroyed week 1. However I will go with my boy as he's def motivated to win now
SV: TJ vs hi.naming is hard : TJ is doing pretty well in general and Gewge is a less good player in terms of skill. He does know the meta more so def close
SM: Oathkeeper vs TyCarter : TyCarter should've started from the start
ORAS: Rarelyme vs Ruffles : Ruffles went 7-0 in rugl. Both are pretty motivated tho idt rare plays a lot of oras (nvm I'm super wrong about that part)
ADV: bydy vs Sneakyplanner : Sneaky is pretty damn good although her team was weird last week
SM: fvkumean vs Leni : cool pairing, I expect fvk's motivation to make him win
ORAS: One Last Kiss vs Lyra : OLK is in like 15 tt atm and idt he has time to learn a tier in a week. Lyra will prob win with some shit that he never saw coming
BW: neomon vs Mister McLovin : it's a cool pairing and Seed told me neomon is super good swiss knife during the draft so I trust him

Rising Sandstorm (7) vs (3) The Feraliburn

SV: Paprikaflow vs Taka : Taka seems in good form between all the tours I've seen of him. Paprika is had a solid ssnl run so a cool pairing
SV: THE_CHUNGLER vs Quinn : He will do Chungler things and win as always
SV: Kitoothe vs Nemosse : I was impressed by Kioothe's build last week and he did play well. Nemosse is good but come on 4 people really missed trace on gard?
SV: Daharan vs OranBerryBlissey10 : Daha is in super good form atm and idt I've seen Obb play sv before. Daharan wants that scl spot next year so bad
SM: robjr vs Master Chief : this is a super cool pairing. I would expect this one to be really close
ORAS: lighthouses vs Feliburn : feli told he would be super innactive this rucl, we'll see if my goat pricefixed or nah. Lighthouses is one of the guys in this tier
BW: Guille vs GoldCat : Guille just has to not overcook and prep for riolu prankster stuff
SM: musashi109 vs Elfuseon : I liked the week of both. I would slightly favor Elfu
ORAS: jackuzzler vs Dlanyer : Dlanyer is a very solid option in oras while idt I've ever seen jack play ru
BW: Metallica126 vs Fragments : metallica buff

Zui Zoruas (5) vs (5) Tsareena Bisexual Divas

SV: Hacker vs Lana : I wasn't convinced by Lana's team w1 while Hacket is just getting unlucky
SV: Ampha vs seraphz : I rate Ampha higher in sv
SV: Drud vs Jojen : drud is just doing insane numbers atm have to bold him
SV: AJ vs Axzel : I found AJ's game to be wweird last week
SS: The Strap vs Premonitions : cool mu, the strap is cooking atm
SM: xXcrossbowXx vs Nat : going with a suprise predict and say Nat takes it
ADV: MrAldo vs muks : better adv player
ORAS: Baddy vs DugZa : better oras player
BW: Heysup vs Accel : better bw player
ADV: Indulge in dreams vs Plague : both are good and I got a gut feeling

Gooooo Virizions
