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.

JT Yao

Banned deucer.
And now, it's time for some certified JT Yao predictions :bloblul:

Devastating Dialgas (7) vs DaReal Drizzlers (1)

SS: Manaphy vs. Thiago Nunes - Perhaps Mana takes this...
SS: BasedWhat? vs. TJ - 50-50 mu imo, BasedWhat? had a rough two weeks, matching with two of the best players in the SS pool. I think TJ is an excellent player, as he beat Lacus last week. That said, BasedWhat? has more than enough information to prep for TJ, so this should be a close match. Also, I stand by what I said earlier. BasedWhat is almost as good as TrueNora. However, the next player I'm about to talk about is quite simply better.
SS: Basedburner vs. Lunala - Now that Daniel has released the future MVP of UPL IX, it's over. Ever wonder why Basedburner wasn't on the Power Rankings? Because he's the single best SS Ubers player atm and it isn't even close. He 6-0'd my main man Lord Thorx like it was nobody's business. But still don't believe in the JT Yao Vision? Stay tuned and soon all will believe it. This game will truly shake UPL to its very core, and then some.
USM: HunterStorm vs. Gondra - HunterStorm is the better USM Player.
ORAS: Endill vs. Eternal Spirit - Endill is the better player, he should take this.
BW: Blim vs. Evuelf - Blim for the win.
DPP: BKC vs. SoulWind - Holy f*ck, if there's ever been a HL match in UPL, this is it. BKC hasn't gotten lucky the last two weeks, but this matchup is literally going to be insane. Can't wait!
ADV: 0kay vs. SuperEpicAmpharos - SEA believes in the JT Yao Vision! Therefore, he cannot lose. Unless Aerodactyl crits him...
GSC: Mr.378 vs. M Dragon - GSC HL of this week. I think numbers is the better GSC player, but it's hard to go against M Dragon. Should be a tight game, I favor the Iron Man 51-49.
BO3: SiTuM vs. Fardin - Both of them believe in the JT Yao Vision! But ultimately, I think SiTuM wins this. He's the more solid player in SS and USM, whereas Fardin will beat him in ORAS.

Defiant Durians (4) vs Alolan Mukkers (4)

SS: TonyFlygon vs. Reje - Super intense mu. Reje is amazing builder and player. But so is Tony. Who wins this? Your guess is as good as mine. A 50-50 mu if I've ever seen one.
SS: Garay oak vs. Terracotta - Terra is the more innovative player. Terra is the better looking player. Terra is the demigod. That said, Garay Oak is Garay Oak, and he's not losing this. Unless Terra starts believing in the JT Yao Vision that is...
SS: Rhmsitb vs. Maxomega - Go Maxomega!
SM: GO lucario vs. InkPupil - Never underestimate the Chinese.
ORAS: obii vs. Alpha Rabbit - Obii is the better player, he should take this.
BW: watashi vs. Lasen - Lasen is truly a baddie zaddy if I've ever seen one :blobnom:
DPP: Chill Shadow vs. Inspirited - Highlighted CS since I didn't last week
ADV: Triangles vs. iry - By the time iry is done with Triangles, they'll have degenerated into either a point or a line. It's over.
GSC: d0nut vs. mc56556 - Donuts are pretty tasty. I'm craving some Krispy Kreme or Dunkin' right about now.
Bo3: Skysolo vs. March Fires - Top 2 of the Bo3 Player Pool. It should be a very close series, I think I'd favor Tape here on a good day. But, with the power of Allah, Skysoloat could pull the win. Inshallah!

Manly Melmetals (7) vs Delta Rayquaza's (2)

SS: Fc vs. cromagnet - Aside from Basedburner, Fc is the best player in the SS pool. He should take this with mid difficulty.
SS: Royal1604 vs. Mega zygarde-100% - Mega zyagrde-100% got extremely lucky last week. And Royal will make sure his luck runs out.
SS: Ballfire vs. crucify - I haven't been impressed with Ballfire's performance this tour. Crucify takes this with mid difficulty.
USM: PurpleGatorade vs. Lazy_bread27 - Two of the Top 10 Players in USM. Should be a tight game, I can't HL one over the other.
ORAS: fourmi vs. Safes - Fourmi is probably the better player. Go fourmi!
BW: Edgar vs. Punny - Edgar is probably the better player. Go Edgar!
DPP: Tomahawk vs. Lord Thorx - Lord Thorx is GOATED. Also has the best music taste since myself.
ADV: 64 Squares vs. Leru - JT Yao actually HLing 64 Squares. Are you going insane? Am I going insane? Nah, between the two of them, Leru is more likely to run his timer down and timeout than 64. And that's really saying something. Aside from that, 64 won ADV cup. I don't think Leru remotely has a chance against the self-proclaimed best chess player of Ubers. Boo hoo.
GSC: Conflict vs. lax - Conflict is the better player, he'll take this with mid-high difficulty.
BO3: Zesty43 vs. Star - Zesty believes in the JT Yao Vision. He will win this!

Devastating Dialgas (6) vs DaReal Drizzlers (3)

SS: Manaphy vs. Thiago Nunes - Manaphy is one of the best current players and I think he keeps up his win streak after last week
SS: BasedWhat? vs. TJ - TJ had a strong performance against Lacus last week and I think he can narrowly win here, but it's close
SS: Basedburner vs. Lunala - Lunala's had a super good start to the season, but burner might just win every game
USM: HunterStorm vs. Gondra - I think HunterStorm is generally the stronger player in sm ubers but Gondra is still really solid overall so it could be close
ORAS: Endill vs. Eternal Spirit - ES is a really strong player but neither have started too strong so I think it could go either way
BW: Blim vs. Evuelf - Happened while writing this
DPP: BKC vs. SoulWind - Already Happened
ADV: 0kay vs. SuperEpicAmpharos - Another close mu, but I think 0kay is just more experienced and stronger in general here
GSC: Mr.378 vs. M Dragon - Happened while writing this
BO3: SiTuM vs. Fardin - As long as SiTuM doesn't Defog on a Cloyster I think he takes it

Defiant Durians (4) vs Alolan Mukkers (5)
SS: TonyFlygon vs. Reje - Tony is probably a top 3 player rn and I think while reje is just super good in general Tony will take it
SS: Garay oak vs. Terracotta - Haven't seen Terra in SS recently meanwhile I think Garay is just one of the best players in the tour
SS: Rhmsitb vs. Maxomega - Both players haven't showed much this tour but I think Maxomega has the upper hand a bit here coming off a loss with motiavtion
SM: GO lucario vs. InkPupil - InkPupil's just too good
ORAS: obii vs. Alpha Rabbit - Rabbit had a good last week while obii is coming off a tough loss, I think rabbit takes it
BW: watashi vs. Lasen - Don't lose
DPP: Chill Shadow vs. Inspirited - CS has had a good start to the season while Inspirited had a rough showing week 1, but he's still solid so it could be close
ADV: Triangles vs. iry - Iry's the best adv player probably so I'll bold him over anyone rn
GSC: d0nut vs. mc56556 - d0nut's 2-0 while mc's 0-2 so I think they'll both maintain where they're at
Bo3: Skysolo vs. March Fires - Both players are at the top of the bo3 pool so I think this is a super close mu that could decide the series

Dangerous Dracovish (5) vs Choice Bandits (4)
SS: FatFighter2 vs. DNNP - Both players are 1-1 and really solid so I think it'll be a close game, but ff2 not in ss2 might be danger
SS: Bushtush vs. Lacus Clyne - Haven't seen much from bushtush in ss ubers while Lacus is one of the top players after the ssnl win so I think she takes it
SS: Icemaster vs. Fogbound Lake - Ice is at the top of the ss pool and should probably beat most people
USM: Holy Ghost vs. Indercover - Holy Ghost is one of the top usm players while I haven't seen indercover outside of SS much so I think he takes it
ORAS: SparksBlade vs. dream - Both strong oras players but I think dream is still slightly better
BW: Carl Murray vs. Peli - Carl has had a few more recent showings so I'll bold him but I'm not confident in the mu either
DPP: Highlord vs. Void - Void has done really well so far but Highlord also has and I think takes it here
ADV: Melle2402 vs. Aishia - Aishia's had a great 2-0 start to the season and while melle is also neutral and I've seen a bit more from him in adv I think Aishia is favoured
GSC: Silksong vs. steelskitty - Silksong has had a stronger start but I think steelskitty can bounce back from the first few losses
BO3: Goat Heart ♥ vs. Catalystic - Goat Heart is down one loss but to one of the top bo3 slots so I think he can still come back and win this week

AM's Biased predictions like all other predictions that no one asked or cares for. Would be surprised if more than 30% of these actually happen.

SS: Manaphy vs. Thiago Nunes - Has nothing to do with playing ability other than Manaphy being a bad memer going into Edgars cringe compilation.
SS: BasedWhat? vs. TJ - Better overall player
SS: Basedburner vs. Lunala - See above
USM: HunterStorm vs. Gondra - I've never heard of Hunterstorm tbh but Gondra is a very good SM player in general.
ORAS: Endill vs. Eternal Spirit - Eternal Spirit is a great player but he's losing his games on matchup in this format which kind of blows because in most cases he can farm the pool in this tour. Whoever feeding you teams Endill don't let them give you garbage Dialga just cause it's the mascot lmfao. That shit is ass in ORAS.
BW: Blim vs. Evuelf - Already happened
DPP: BKC vs. SoulWind - Already happened
ADV: 0kay vs. SuperEpicAmpharos - This is a goody and honestly not sure who to pick here. Looking forward to watching this on the replays cause smogtours cringe central live lol.
GSC: Mr.378 vs. M Dragon - This already happened (good showing by both btw) I probably would've voted 378 not because I'm cool with him but he should probably stick to GSC anyways since it's a format he would have much better luck maintaining consistency in than a Bo3 long term.
BO3: SiTuM vs. Fardin - Fardin is weaker in SS and SM than Situm is, where Fardin is stronger in ORAS so the results will most likely show there.

SS: TonyFlygon vs. Reje
SS: Garay oak vs. Terracotta
SS: Rhmsitb vs. Maxomega - Biased predictions
SM: GO lucario vs. InkPupil - I'm getting old cause idk these people man
ORAS: obii vs. Alpha Rabbit - devin's archnemesis Alpha Rabbit. obii would be better off being slotted in SM than ORAS imo but idk if he signed up for that.
BW: watashi vs. Lasen - Saw his game last week, thought Lasen did well and I like his builds and sometimes watashi looks like they're playing on cruise control in a format like this.
DPP: Chill Shadow vs. Inspirited
ADV: Triangles vs. iry
GSC: d0nut vs. mc56556
Bo3: Skysolo vs. March Fires

SS: Fc vs. cromagnet - Biased prediction since he gives me teams when I ask.
SS: Royal1604 vs. Mega zygarde-100% - MegaZyg has always supported me on a scoreboard so I'm returning the favor.
SS: Ballfire vs. crucify - Idk these dudes
USM: PurpleGatorade vs. Lazy_bread27 - I'm picking PG cause he was on my MW team lol with that said jokes aside this should be, hopefully, a close fun watch cause plat is solid in SM as well.
ORAS: fourmi vs. Safes - MW team member but tbh I'll pick fourmi over lots of other people in ORAS pool cause he has a very good understanding of it.
BW: Edgar vs. Punny - "Yeah man, he said I was insane/bored/creative because last tournament I brought teams I thought would win me the games. it would be whack to have those posts back because clearly I was offended by hers." loool
DPP: Tomahawk vs. Lord Thorx
ADV: 64 Squares vs. Leru - I'm picking 64 in any prediction if I do more from this point on. It doesn't even matter the tier.
GSC: Conflict vs. lax
BO3: Zesty43 vs. Star

SS: FatFighter2 vs. DNNP
SS: Bushtush vs. Lacus Clyne - Bushtush is in my top 5 of all time, he's a goat, great pfp, with some of the best big brain plays I've seen beating mains in their own formats.
SS: Icemaster vs. Fogbound Lake - The leader of the DN movement
USM: Holy Ghost vs. Indercover - asiancy bias, and no we are not in calls the room is literally devin posting some anime chicks everyday smh.
ORAS: SparksBlade vs. dream - One of the few I'll probably watch live as I like both of them as ORAS players and what they bring except when they use hard stall :pikuh:
BW: Carl Murray vs. Peli - Carl more likely to get an activity win anyways.
DPP: Highlord vs. Void
ADV: Melle2402 vs. Aishia
GSC: Silksong vs. steelskitty - Ngl I havent watched Silksong play but I'm probably going to skip this one cause a steel game always comes with some cringe commentary either in the battle or in the smogtours chat.
BO3: Goat Heart ♥ vs. Catalystic

FreeExiline that man locked in smogtours anyways dude can't bother anybody to begin with lol. Also free MM2 as well smh.
