Welcome to the ninth edition of Ubers Premier League, an all-Ubers team tournament where managers draft from the pool of players to compete in a seven-week round-robin battle for Ubers supremacy. The top four teams will then advance to the playoffs, where the winning team will be crowned the premier of Ubers battling. This is Uber’s largest and premier team tournament, providing an opportunity for Ubers powerhouses to display their dominance, veteran players to return, and for new talent to emerge.
​
Here's a few things to remember:
- A replay / log must be saved of your match or it will be considered invalid. No exceptions.
- General tournament rules and regulations apply. Pokemon Showdown is the default simulator for all metagames unless both parties agree. If you play on anywhere that isn't PS! you must save a log of the match. All matches are best of one, except for the best of three slot.

Had decent but not perfect predicts week 1 but I wanna keep them coming by giving the format and it's all for fun anyway so dropping some more here

Dangerous Dracovish (4) vs. Defiant Durians (4)

SS: Icemaster vs. TonyFlygon - This is a huge highlight mu, can see this easily going either way
SS: FatFighter2 vs. McSim - FatFighter2 in SS2 has arrived, should win here
SS: TrueNora vs. Garay oak - I think this is another big highlight, on the one hand Nora is one of the best current SS players, but Garay can also just beat almost anyone in any pool, so it's really close
USM: Holy Ghost vs. GO lucario - Holy Ghost has to bounce back after getting stunted on by protean gren, and I think he's favoured here
ORAS: SparksBlade vs. obii - Sparks had a good win week one and I think will continue it
BW: Carl Murray vs. watashi - I think both players had a week 1 that definitely didn't show off what they can fully do this tour, but I think watashi might be the stronger player overall
DPP: Highlord vs. Chill Shadow - Another great mu, I think Chill Shadow can take this though in a close one
ADV: Melle2402 vs. Triangles - I've seen more of Melle in adv ubers and Triangles didn't show likely what they're fully capable of week one so Melle's favoured imo
GSC: Silksong vs. d0nut - d0nut beat vani last week which was a huge win, so I think they might be favoured but my GSC knowledge is limited
BO3: Goat Heart ♥ vs. Skysolo - Skysolo's one of the best bo3 slots and I think takes this one

Choice Bandits (4) vs. DaReal Drizzlers (6)

SS: DNNP vs. Lunala - I think DNNP is one of the better players overall rn and should take this, but Lunala is really solid too so it should be close
SS: Fogbound Lake vs. Thiago Nunes - Thiago's had a pretty strong SS showing so far, and while I wasn't a huge fan of the team week 1 it worked out so I think he takes this
SS: Lacus Clyne vs. TJ - Lacus is still a top player in the pool and I think tj is great too but Lacus should be favoured
USM: gostop vs. Gondra - Both had a solid week 1 but I think Gondra is a stronger player overall
ORAS: dream vs. Eternal Spirit - Dream is one of the best oras players and again with bandits support should take this
BW: Noitu vs. Evuelf - Noitu had a great bw showing week 1 but I think evuelf is the better player of the tier
DPP: Void vs. SoulWind - SoulWind is one of the best players in the tier and is favoured against most people imo
ADV: Aishia vs. Heysup - Heysup is starting now and has a ton of support from drizzlers adv so I think he takes it
GSC: steelskitty vs. M Dragon - M Dragon is one of the strongest players in the pool and I think takes this here
BO3: Catalystic vs. Fardin - Cata had a super good week 1 performance and I think while Fardin is really solid and sometimes unpredictable in team choice Cata takes it

Delta Rayquazas (5) vs. Alolan Mukkers (5)

SS: Ara vs. Reje - Reje is the better player overall imo and should take this
SS: Mega zygarde-100% vs. PinkDragonTamer - MZ100 had a really solid week 1 but I feel like pdt just wins in every tier and can do it here with good support from the mukkers builders
SS: crucify vs. Maxomega - crucify is a really good SS player and while Maxomega is good also I think crucify takes it
USM: Lazy_bread27 vs. InkPupil - InkPupil had some insane techs week 1 but I think plat still wins as the better SM player overall
ORAS: Star vs. Shocki - I think Star had a solid game week 1 but just had a few missteps and should take it this time
BW: Punny vs. Lasen - Lasen had really good prep and play week 1 and while punny's a great player overall I think Lasen has it
DPP: Lord Thorx vs. Terracotta - Terracotta can bring some super crazy stuff sometimes and plays really well so I think he takes this
ADV: Safes vs. iry - I still think iry's one of the best adv players in the whole pool and is probably favoured against most people
GSC: lax vs. mc56556 - mc had an unfortunate week 1 but lax had a fairly strong showing, I think it's still somewhat up in the air but lax is slightly favoured imo
BO3: Leru vs. March Fires - Predicting the flop won't flop yet
 
Gareeb

Gareeb

Devastating Dialgas vs. Manly Melmetal

SS: BasedWhat? vs. FC - Basedwhat? make good ss teams but im afraid that wont help him win games especially when his opponent is FC whos good at SS.
SS: SiTuM vs. Royal1604 - Not just ubers seasonal but SiTum. made strong team and played so well in UPL week 1 so if he continues that it would be tough for Royal to win.
SS: Manaphy vs. Ballfire - manaphy week1 game made me bold ballfire especially when i see both of them as equally strong in SS.
USM: HunterStorm vs. PurpleGatorade - Hunterstorm didnt impressed me with his week1 team which got walled very hard and had no synergy, hope he realise that and make strong team this time because purplegatorade had done same in week 1 :(. Bolding purple here but this is going to be a close game.
ADV: 0kay vs. 64 Squares- 64 squares is so strong no matter what gen and no matter what tier.
BO3: Mr.378 vs. Zesty43 - Judging by week 1 , i think zesty got this. Also zesty has advantage over Iron Man in SS and both of them are strong at USUM. oras can be game deciding game.

Dangerous Dracovish vs. Defiant Durians

SS: Icemaster vs. TonyFlygon - Icemaster is def strong but i came to know hes busy irl with exams while Tony is improving in SS everyday so tony got this by power of compounding.
SS: FatFighter2 vs. McSim- Fatfighter disappointed me in week1 game. Though he won that game but he made some wrong plays which could have cost him the game if maxo capitalize on those turns which he didnt. While McSim in week1 played very well so i'll be bolding McSim for his assuming hes gonna prepare well because his opponent is ssnl finalist.
SS: TrueNora vs. Garay oak - Same as icemaster , garay is busy preparing for his exams as well while nora is strong in SS.
I think garay being fundementally strong across all tiers can still have it with practise but he might not be able to do it.
USM: Holy Ghost vs. GO lucario- i'll call Go lucario win in week1 a MU win because hunter didnt bring a solid team and got hard walled. Now since opponent is Holy Ghost so that wont happen here.
Go luacrio bro you'll have to practise hard to win this one.
BW: Carl Murray vs. watashi- i've seen edna playing ubers and hes good at it so i'll be going with him.
DPP: Highlord vs. Chill Shadow- i have seen chillshadow winning almost any game he play seriously but can he win against DPPLord?
BO3: Goat Heart ♥vs. Skysolo- Goat heart week1 performance wasnt very good but that can be because of irl stuff? Skysolo is in good form but ig if Goat heart
after his W1 loss practise really hard , noone can stop him.

Choice Bandits vs. DaReal Drizzlers

SS: DNNP vs. Lunala- Havent played DNNP yet so i'll go with one whom i have played and seen destroying ppl in SS.
SS: Fogbound Lake vs. Thiago Nunes - Thiago Nunes w1 performance was so good so i'll go with him but dont underestimate fog at any cost bro.
SS: Lacus Clyne vs. TJ - close game TJ keeps improving as day pass but i think lacus got this.
USM: gostop vs. Gondra - Judging on Week1 performance , gostop is just clicking buttons without putting lot of thoughts which is actually needed ! while gondra did well in week1 so i'll be predicting him.
ADV: Aishia vs. Heysup- week1 shows me how strong Ayu is in adv.
BO3: Catalystic vs. Fardin- Cata did so well in week1. Fardin is strong at SS but its a b03 so i think cata win this.
 
Zesty43

Zesty43

Dangerous Dracovish (4) vs. Defiant Durians (5)

SS: Icemaster vs. TonyFlygon : Ice is as sound in team choice and playing ability as it gets. However I think Tony can diversify his builds and playing style enough to give him the edge in this one.
SS: FatFighter2 vs. McSim : I don't know much about either guy I've played fat fighter on ladder though and hes super solid.
SS: TrueNora vs. Garay oak : While I liked garays week 1 team and thought he played super well it was evident hes not prepping a ton if at all and Nora might have the best meta game knowledge in the tier so I'm not sure that he can get by just on his playing ability alone but it also would not surprise me.
USM: Holy Ghost vs. GO lucario : HG is a dog
ORAS: SparksBlade vs. obii : I can't predict brown on brown violence
BW: Carl Murray vs. watashi : Ive openly stated I think carl was a tad overhyped in this tour
DPP: Highlord vs. Chill Shadow : he does not lose dpp very often just gonna hedge my bets
ADV: Melle2402 vs. Triangles : nooooo sweaty palms
GSC: Silksong vs. d0nut
BO3: Goat Heart ♥ vs. Skysolo : this ones gonna be really really good I think solo has the edge in Oras and potentially ss and I believe sm is a toss up

Choice Bandits (6) vs. DaReal Drizzlers (4)

SS: DNNP vs. Lunala : DNNP builds very cool stuff and plays quite sound however Lunala used dada so I am torn
SS: Fogbound Lake vs. Thiago Nunes : Nudes
SS: Lacus Clyne vs. TJ : Lacus appears to be back in her bag
USM: gostop vs. Gondra : Gondra's success is going to largely depend on how his managers prep for him im guessing and idk how you prep for the Chinese
ORAS: dream vs. Eternal Spirit : dream probably the guy to beat in Oras with 4mi
BW: Noitu vs. Evuelf : Evu is a hard guy to pick against and outside of the ladder noitu has been a tad volatile in Ubers so im gonna wait and see if that changes
DPP: Void vs. SoulWind
ADV: Aishia vs. Heysup
GSC: steelskitty vs. M Dragon
BO3: Catalystic vs. Fardin : I think Fardin bounces back here hes really strong at ss and Oras and I don't think cata has a decided edge in sm

Delta Rayquazas (4) vs. Alolan Mukkers (6)

SS: Ara vs. Reje : sprechen zi dick
SS: Mega zygarde-100% vs. PinkDragonTamer : I think gareeb is very very good and while pdt is pretty solid overall I don't think he will be able to come in and beat gareeb in one week
SS: crucify vs. Maxomega : max straight defiles me in all our test games
USM: Lazy_bread27 vs. InkPupil : I think this is the protean gren guy which I will 100% be stealing at some point but plats the second best Sm'er in the poll me thinks
ORAS: Star vs. Shocki
BW: Punny vs. Lasen : an absolute unit this guy is
DPP: Lord Thorx vs. Terracotta : wobba + luc
ADV: Safes vs. iry : as long as the KGB does not hunt him down first should be an easy one
GSC: lax vs. mc56556
BO3: Leru vs. March Fires : tapes t2 and hes not 2
