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.

I think this is a cool week to watch for both teams. Lots of these mu look close so I expect this to go either way.

This is interesting as TBD need to get back on track while Donphans lot in a close week last week. I do give the the advantage.

SV: Sabella vs THE_CHUNGLER
SV: Ac1D vs Daharan

This could go either way, we got some hype sv players like Evie vs Paprikaflow and in general some cool pairings. I'm ngl I could see Kitoothe and musashi both win but I went with the players I know more.

Overall this is a cool week, super hyped by the event and gl to everyone.

Gooooo Virizions

 

[Ming549]

Zui Zoruas (5) vs (5) The Feraliburn
SV: Hacker vs Taka - hey these guys are pretty cool, both coming off losses w2, will probably give to taka just bc i still remember the w1 BEATDOWN he inflicted
SV: Ampha vs Kingler - ampha been a bit of a kick recently and kinglers past results are a meta and several bans ago so im unsure of where he stands with regards to that, also his scl slot for sv ru has been sus so that adds a bit to the uncertainty
SV: Drud vs Quinn - drud has been moving crazy in scl and his results this year within the tier have been real nice too, no reason not to give him the nod
SV: AJ vs zause - both these guys have had kinda sus seasons so far but i think zause is probably a bad mu for aj so will give him the nod here
SS: The Strap vs OranBerryBlissey10 - PPPPPPPPPARTS EHT
SM: xXcrossbowXx vs Master Chief - im only doing this because i think he'll bring the slurpuff team for the third week in a row and such maneuvers deserve the utmost respect
ADV: Heysup vs Zcarlett - heysup got on the board last week so i think he'll be able to carry momentum vs a team who really doesnt have a ton of stronk adv support
SM: Dugtrio Is Broken vs Feliburn - journeyman feliburn has finally hit his sm roots and i imagine thatll be pretty fire for him
ORAS: MrAldo vs Fragments - he got a bit lucky for sure but i liked the way aldo was moving last week vs dug meanwhile fragments got caught on the bad side of bw and got nuked by a magmortar so like... yeahhhh
BW: Baddy vs GoldCat - bw ru

20/20 Virizion (7) vs (3) Devious Diancies
SV: seed vs LBN - its seed szn babyyyy, lbn also continues to try and bring random nonsense and got fried by a mew last week so like... meh
SV: feen vs FlamPoke - if he didnt unlucky last week flam wouldve cooked sab bc he's discovered the secret to sv ru, dont think just spam offense, and feen is pretty reluctant to cteam common trends like that so yeah, probably flam w
SV: Txunt! vs Sir Tetris - txunt back in his rightful tier, should be a good week for him considering tetris has had some issues getting on his feet this szn
SV: DripLegend vs TJ - heard some irl things have been on drips mind, hope everything is good on that front, and although tj got rolled last week hes still heat, should turn out alright
SS: Hoops vs Runo - he looked good in sv last week which should hopefully be the jump he needs to carry momentum this week in ss
SM: lza vs Oathkeeper - evi swears this guy is nice with it and i still need to see a couple more games out of oath to give me some more faith in his consistency so for this week will be lza
BW: FastCarVroom!!! vs neomon - vroom got pretty lucky last week but such is the bw ru experience he is undefeated at this point, neomon has not been having as much luck with the tier this tour so will give edge to vroom
SS: C0nfiden1 0yster vs One Last Kiss - 0yster really likes this tier and has been doing well in it, i dont really see a reason why he shouldnt be favored and in all honestly, a lil surprised the diancies went in on ss this week
SM: toinha vs fvkumean - hard to call this one, toinha coming off the bench for the firs time i think this szn and fvkumean after the double sub last week and an L week one, will just say fvkumean bc he plays the tier more
ADV: DD Joe vs bydy - will go with dd joe just bc he has a better record and ive yet to see how the adv regulars shake out as far as consistency after just a couple weeks

Magic Guardians (4) vs (6) Rising Sandstorm
SV: Evie vs Paprikaflow - evie been looking real good but paprikaflow specifically has also been cooking making it all the way to ssnl finals so gotta give him the nod
SV: Sabella vs THE_CHUNGLER - chungler been looking good and sabella like highkey binned last week vs flam and got bailed by a crit so will go with chungod
SV: Ac1D vs Daharan - acid and daha both coming off dubs last week but i think ac1d looked much more in control and daha only won bc hilli is blind
SV: hi.naming is hard vs Kitoothe - been really impressed with how kitoothe has been moving, naming had a good showing last week though so will see if he can pull out the dub
SS: sol vs robjr - both these guys not having the tournament they want, both winless rn although sol was on the bench last week since neither teamm picked ss, will be interesting to see who can get their feet under them first
ORAS: Ruffles vs lighthouses- if not for the EGREGIOUS luck from last week lighthouses was actually highkey getting styled on by feli meanwhile ruffles looked in control and cooking interesting functional stuff in builder so i will give him the nod
BW: Mister McLovin vs jackuzzler - mclovins had a pretty good tour so far and while jack is also 1-1 i think i rate mclovings bw higher still
SM: Leni vs musashi109 - i like how musashi been moving in sv and sm and leni had a bunch of scheduling drama last week and only won w1 because of a curselax crit mirror so like yeah idk
ORAS: Lyra vs Metallica126 - metallica difference
BW: Sneakyplanner vs Guille - bw ru
