  • Follow all rules listed here.
  • Schedule via Smogon VMs. It's easier for me 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 so they can communicate that to me or the other team's managers for a potential substitute.
  • 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, they contribute to usage stats and allow the people who couldn't watch the games live to watch them later.
  • Managers: Please send me your lineups in the same format that I used to post pairings. It makes it much easier to post future rounds more quickly.

Cowards only doing predicts per tier smh, not in my house

Triste Ting-Lus (4) vs (4) Suave Shadow Riders
SV AG: temp vs The Strap - if strap gets a good builder he'll have a good season but I'm not entirely sure about his support here, will have to wait and see but I'll give benefit of the doubt for now
SV AG: TaxFraud vs LBN - tax is not starting the season with an L
SV 1v1: clerica vs eblurb - hype mu off the bat could go either way bolding my goat
SV 1v1: LittEleven vs swag god - less hype mu just gonna bold based off 1v1pl performance
SV ZU: TJ vs Potatochan - will likely care more
SV ZU: S1nn0hC0nfirm3d vs Splash - hard to predict without knowing how trolly sinnoh will be
SV 2v2: Aldrich vs Kaif - we should collectively admit letting this man go for 4k was dumb as balls
SV NFE: lepton vs awyp - more familiar with lepton

Petalblade Guardians (4) vs (4) Voltcrasher Miraidons
SV AG: Taka vs entrocefalo - taka my goat can def win I just think entro + farce make a demonic prep core and back it up in play
SV AG: corvere vs Farce Of The Death - same as above
SV 1v1: Slip vs cold illusions - will have better teams and better clicking
SV 1v1: zioziotrip vs Darkrai Retribution - what is blud doing here what happened to wanting to 6v6 dawg
SV ZU: Monai vs sleid - will be bolding monai this whole tour
SV ZU: Tuthur vs TomatoZause - blatant pricefixing goes hard
SV 2v2: Orangex vs zee - zee has less experience with 2v2 but being a doubles wizard it is really not a tough learning curve
SV NFE: elleapple vs Mirbro - Ima be real I have no idea but mirbro is a real one

Doom Desire Jirachis (1) vs (7) Majestic Meowscaradas
SV AG: PrimalKyogre vs tier - bro will not care but is still a formidable player
SV AG: Agcl2 Ragib vs Leni - who is passing leni teams I'll bold him off skill but I can't see tier building 2 slots he'll barely build his own
SV 1v1: Palestine vs Mishlef - has had more success in sv but steen could be a dark horse especially with built-in deg support
SV 1v1: bo_bobson27 vs Lumii - has really been popping off on the 1v1 scene lately
SV ZU: avarice vs fish anemometer - more experience with the tier + doesnt get acted in finals tb
SV ZU: LustfulLice vs Drud - had a great zupl showing but wouldnt be surprised to see drud take this either
SV 2v2: Clarex vs Chris32156 - didnt have a stellar ompl but still a very solid 2v2er with great fundamentals
SV NFE: PandaDoux vs shiloh - this one is tough, meta main vs quality tour clicker, gonna go tour clicker assuming he can get good teams but idk where they'd come from

World's greatest prs coming later this week likely around thursday or friday so watch out for those

SV NFE: Clean vs. Shaneghoul
Very messed up with the most arguable stacked pairing starting in week 1, especially when the meta is new. Shaneghoul with Ojr support will take this win though, especially if Clean is also building/supporting the ZU slots. I expect 5dots here to be more active for this mu pairing for Nfe support, and not lack activity like he did for Tuthur at OMPL. Both of them have faced each other before at OMPL, so I'm looking forward to Clean's revenge on this one, and taking his time of course, but otherwise, I'm bolding Shaneghoul to win this week by the factors alone.

SV NFE: Lepton vs. Awyp
Awyp aka Big Viet in NFE :OOOOOOOO
Unfortunately, I think Lepton will take this game in a solid fashion especially when I played friendlies with them. But I would love to be proven wrong on this one especially when there's a new meta where people can go a little crazy.

SV NFE: Elleapple vs Mirbro
A very weird matchup I would say. Mirbro will not be able to figure Elle at all, and, I think Elle is a better player in NFE overall. But Elle can somehow pull out a really unfavoured matchup due to her "unorthodox" teams and then somewhat choke in late-game. So it's like really hard to pinpoint if one of more favored than the other. I would give it Elle since Mirbro's someone who needs a week or two to develop a new tier, especially since he's trying too hard to be perfect, which can be a disadvantage for him.

SV NFE: PandaDoux vs Shiloh
PandaDoux win this one vs. Shiloh mainly because I think Shiloh's too busy with SCL rn and with no good NFE support I don't know if Shiloh will be able to get some time to build for NFE. But if Shiloh gets the time and tries to build Pandadoux, I'm confident that Shiloh would take this week because he's someone who figures out things quicker than most ppl on a new meta.

The NFE pool looks like a clean gap between Clean, Shaneghoul(Ojr) and Lepton > Panda > Mirbro(rise up if with a tour player), Elle > Rest. Commenting that just for the other people that predict NFE slots as well if you want to know the "power scaling".
 
yuki 2v2 predicts!

SV 2v2: RobDog747 vs tyo
This should be a fun one. tyo is just so good at doubles, if he's got the early meta figured out, I expect a win.

SV 2v2: Aldrich vs Kaif
Sorry Aldrich, Kaif is the goat. This is probably pretty close though honestly.

SV 2v2: Clarex vs Chris32156
He's gonna flinch you like 4 times in 3 games then crit you, and he'll say something like "outskilled" or "optimal". Chris is very good, if he doesn't go off the rails with his building this should be his.
 
Doing some AG predicts because I'm bored and have nothing to do

Pewter Paos (1) vs (1) Star Plasma Vessels
SV AG: JB vs Inder: Interesting match, both are pretty good players with good amount of experience. I think Inder is gonna have the motivation to play and win this tour for some reason, hence going with them.
SV AG: Future King of ou vs byulharang: Both are good, I think fkou edges a little bit here, but both are equally good players. I can see this going either ways.

Triste Ting-Lus (1) vs (1) Suave Shadow Riders
SV AG: temp vs The Strap: The Strap.
SV AG: TaxFraud vs LBN: This is gonna be quite an interesting game. This matchup is gonna be the highlight of this week. I'm just feeling the Tax magic to get the job done.

Doom Desire Jirachis (1) vs (1) Majestic Meowscaradas
SV AG: Primal Kyogre vs tier: Solar beam Mira to repeat it all over once again? Jokes aside, I think this is going to be a tough game for either sides to win. I think tier slightly has the edge here, so going with him.
SV AG: Agcl2 Ragib vs Leni: Ragib is the better player here I believe. I don't know anything about Leni anyways, so going with Ragib.

That's it for the AG predicts, hope you guys like them. I didn't do predicts for other tiers because I have no idea about them haha.

vertigo vs griplegend

if drip actually decides to build this week he sets himself up for a close set vs vertigoat. fortunately building in sv rn is as easy as ogerpon + fairy, therefore I think he takes grip of the w

gorilaa vs kry

better player usually wins. kry needs to step up if he wants a chance

clerica vs emil

cler doesn’t tryhard vs emil (ogerpog!!) could get caught lacking, but will still pull out the w. close set fs

litt vs swag

baton pass zapdos

why is pchan in zu prison lol, get him outtathere

slip vs cold illusions

only way slip loses is if he mindgames himself into thinking pg will click anything but a 2-1

ziozioziozio vs darkrai retribution

despite bea having a spiritual awakening abt building for this acclaimed goat (I hope you like ogerpon + fairy buckaroo) this is still a 99.9999-0.0000001 matchup

palestine vs mish

mish will offer gentleman to pre dlc get declined and lose gg

bobiden vs lumii

IMG_4242.jpeg

IMG_4226.jpeg


will be good week, maybe some upsets
​
 
back from hiatus (not in time for umpl but i will be doing stuff i think???????????)

anyway 1v1 tho

vertigo vs drip (highlight)
gorilaa vs kry (gorilaa bringing that metro boom kry can't handle the pressure)
clerica vs emil (going to g5, clerica has to tryhard to win imo)
litt vs swag (litt was 0-3 or 0-2 or something in pl sv or something right idr, but they have clerica support so we'll see and also i think they're doing well in hpl? i don't rember)
slip vs pg (pg doesn't do good in teamtours)
zio vs darkrai retribution (i don't know who darkrai retribution is, they don't seem to play 1v1 tho so clean zio win)
pale vs mish (remember when i said mish didn't play sv during pl [no you don't because you don't know who i am], but anyway yeah word)
bobiden vs lumii (pl7 week 4 if itchy wasn't in vacation)
