FIRSTTT!!
Let’s get straight into it.
Congregation of the Classiest: DJ Breloominati♬, Piyu
Spitfire is a very solid SM player with consistent results, and this is clearly his comfort tier. He’s shown up well in Masters and other tours featuring SM OU. I’m honestly rooting for this slot—expecting some really good games. I’d say 5–6 wins is very doable. Support isn’t amazing, but he’s more than capable of prepping on his own.
Circus Maximus Tiger: Tace, Noname6293, Zaza
This slot is just fun to watch. Tace has a strong SM OU record, which shows in his tournament performances. This time around, he’s backed by rookie Noname and former SPL player Zaza. Zaza’s a known SM builder and a solid fallback option, while Noname is also quite competent in the tier. Overall, good support here—I’d expect Tace to finish positive.
Wi-Fi Wolfpack: Gondra, Bbeeaa, Sacri´
FREE MY GOAT BBEEAA. Gondra is basically an SPL regular at this point. He’s backed by Bbeeaa, who’s won SM Circuit and openly claims SM as his best tier—with results to back it up (great SM showings in OUPL). Gondra skipped the last SPL, and before that he was on ORAS OU, so I’m really excited to see what he brings to SM this season.
Dragonspiral Tyrants: Vert, Tenebricite, Baddy
This slot is… confusing, to say the least. Vert tier-locked himself out of SV OU and is now playing SM OU in SPL for the first time. That said, he
did have a decent SM showing in Masters if I remember correctly. He’s supported by Tenebricite, a known SM mainer, and Baddy, who had an impressive Circuit run and made finals this year. Definitely an interesting slot to watch.
Indie Scooters: Drachenkeule, Ox the Fox
Drach had a great debut last time with the Sharks, going positive in a pretty tough pool at 8k. He also had strong support back then (Giannis, why ad, Star). This time, he’s on the Scooters with comparatively limited support, which
could be an issue. Still excited to see how he adapts. Pais is available as a sub if needed.
Stark Sharks: DeeJ, Fdmw
DeeJ has been excellent in Masters for the past two years and finally finds himself on the Sharks. He’s a strong clicker and has tons of backing—Mind Gaming, Santu, Michael, and FDMW. Speaking of FDMW, he’s had great results across multiple OU tours with SM this year, all positive records. Hope he gets enough chances to really shine.
Team Raiders: Charmflash, Fc, Eternal Spirit
Charmflash had a rough last SPL (3–6), which probably explains the price drop from 12.5k to 3k. But people forget he once went 8–3 and is a very capable SM builder—even if some of his teams get a bit… experimental. With Fc and Eternal Spirit as support/sub options, this slot has more depth than it might seem.
Alpha Ruiners: Metallica, ChrisPBacon, Devin, PZZ
Easily my highest-rated slot. Metallica is insane, and the support here is just absurd—Chris, Devin, PZZ, Enzo, Ima, Empo and Nagol (who decked soulwind with freakin mantine). It’s stacked. I fully expect Metallica to farm this pool. Devin and PZZ are also very reliable subs if needed. Go Ruiners.
Ever Grande BIGS: GeniusX, Larry, Stareal
GeniusX has been consistently solid in SM OU over the years, and I don’t see that changing this SPL. Larry and Stareal are reliable backup options if the team needs flexibility.
Cryonicle: RobJr, C0mp, MGdos16, Luigi
Rob had a strong start last year but couldn’t end positive—clearly looking for redemption this time. He’s backed by C0mp (Masters winner), MGdos (SS/SV main but a strong SM player too), and Luigi as another sub option. This slot has more support than most teams outside of Ruiners, which could really help them edge ahead.
As always, this was done purely for fun (and to like-whore). None of this is meant to be personal—don’t take it to heart.
Biggest snub in this tier has to be
Abele not getting drafted despite winning Circuit and having a great showing. Your time will come, brother. (Drink some water.)
Wishing everyone a great SPL season—looking forward to clean games and some exciting new team dynamics
