Administrative Decisions | Replays + Usages | Spreadsheet

Rules​

• Follow all rules listed here.​
• Schedule via Smogon VMs. It's easier for us to make decisions for activity calls when we 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 us or the other team's managers for a potential substitute.​
• Substitutions may be made after a week as 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.​
• Post replays. 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. They're also required.​

[Teh]

rooting for Tree69420

 

[Theycallmephil]

RBY: THE_CHUNGLER vs Maris Bonibell
Hard to bold against maris even if her wins have been a little odd, this will be a good set.
RBY: Teh vs magialice
Last week was very...weird for both these players despite both picking up a win. Im more confident in teh to win this tho.
RBY: Sabelette vs Wanted in 49 States
Top of the pool so natural bold but if wanted stops eating the worst rng of his life this will be a very good set.

RBY predicts.

 

[AM]

rby predicts

RBY: THE_CHUNGLER vs Maris Bonibell - Maris all around one of the better lower tier RBY players and Chungler in this slot seems like a gulag slot for this team since there's no one else who can RBY or wants to. Who knows Maris has also used some completely deranged stuff in the past.
RBY: Teh vs magialice - Maybe? Current RBY UU has too many RBY moments in a current wild west meta where outside of Big Nose Papi and Don Lap people seem to be throwing stuff at wall and hope it sticks.
RBY: Sabelette vs Wanted in 49 States - The highlight matchup but meta is completely new Wanted was unlucky last week. Going to be some really sweaty prep though.
RBY: Melbelle vs Theycallmephil - phil has some creative teams but is unlucky and Melbelle is just a lot more lucky. Only guarantee will be no gg from Melbelle win or lose.

Waffled a bit but here's a recap of UUCL's Week 2 as well as predictions for Week 3...might be back for future weeks, enjoy!

[Bouff]

havent done these in like a year for uu so i apologize for sloppy and somewhat uninformed writing but am doing this as a means to end Shiba's bigotry towards rby. as the weeks progress i hope to have more things of value to say

Mikan Island Monster Carrots (4) vs (6) Gilderoy Lokix
SV: hellom vs Kitoothe - i didn't really pay close attention to hellom's game last week because i think it was happening during my teams sm game but i'm going to just assume that spell overcooked. both players brought arcanine last week and both of them lost so there's probably a common theme here. spell do not make him use some shit like sub np tornadus..anyway kitoothe went 9-1 in uufpl and while i didnt really watch any of those games, or any of the uufpl games for that matter, i know he's had some super fire games when ss was current gen so i'm gonna assume he's still got it.
SV: lax vs 691 - pretty even i guess...lax tossed me in uupl and he's been playing well in sm this tour but i guess 691 knows the tier more for whatever that's worth.
SS: Xrn vs Moutemoute - moute is like perennially the guy who is good but has somehow not gotten enough chances over the past twoish years. he's probably good at ss but i have more faith in xrn as a player
SS: Jojen vs dunoks - dunoks is sheist at ss tiers so yeah sure. don't have too much knowledge of jojen when it comes to like...what tiers he's good at i guess LOL im sorry but i know he's decent
ORAS: Pak vs BP - bp has been winning some games here i think but i only really watched the week 1 game for this tour and the tb game vs pak. will keep an eye out but no reason to not bold pak here
BW: MrAldo vs Amukamara - i have doubted aldo for a while now but he is currently 2-0 so he's doing something right. that being said liam usually farms bw so i'm gonna assume he won't stop here
DPP: Django vs jackuzzler - i remember thinking this guy was a snub in uupl so yeah he can have it. that being said id be lying if i said i remembered why i thought he was a snub...django i know is good at dpp pu and worked with donny p there, idk if the same thing has happened / is happening here but he went 5-5 in uufpl i guess
ADV: Charmriah vs crying - i appreciate the attempt with giraffe last week since i've been trying to make that specific set work out for the past while and have not had much success. very high ceiling if it works but its such a pain in the ass to build with. that being said i don't think that crit at the end mattered last week. gonna go off recency bias because crying did get lucky last week
ADV: Micciu vs A Welcome Guest - micciu doesn't have as much experience with this tier as opposed to the oldgens that he hates but he's good enough at it except i always associate him with "metang ho". i dont know enough about a welcome guest im sorry ;_;
RBY: THE_CHUNGLER vs Maris Bonibell - maris has been winning in like every rby tour ever, the chungler had some sick shit happen to him last week that i think has damaged rby's standing among non mainers forever. if there's ever any posting to not include rby in uupl i'd expect to see last week's replays as reference

Soul Dew Syndicate (5) vs (5) Twinkatons
SV: TJ vs Azick - azick games are always fun to watch in their own way, tj's games have also been Eventful this season LOL but i trust azick a little more
SV: mintwinter vs Sabella - mintwinter is an up and comer i think, they gave me a haha react in my winpost week 1 so just because of that im bolding sabella
SS: DripLegend vs avarice - drip got thrown to the wolves if you think dillon is showing you mercy because he's your friend you are sorely mistaken. expect screens or suicune cress registeel and a bad time that'll leave you mildly annoyed for 10-20 minutes afterwards
SM: seraphz vs Indigo Plateau - 2025 ip is basically the goatliest goat ever when he shows up he's basically like blast from one punch man
ORAS: Lyssa vs etern - reina is prob one of the best orasers out there right now bias aside she's had some real solid games in her time playing this tier. idrk the last time etern played oras, or if he's just played it at all, so i dunno what to expect
DPP: BeatsBlack vs Corperate n - beats is fire at dpp pu. and dpp zu. and dpp nu i think! but idk if he's ever played dpp uu and i know corp n has for a few years now...so he's a safe pick and he did make some reads in last week's game. if beats has the same kind of intuition for uu that he does for other tiers, then i can definitely see him becoming a mainstay but ill wait for that to actually happen before i bold him
ADV: fatty vs mielke - fatty is one of the best advers ever, has come up clutch a number of times over the years and not afraid to explore the depths of the tier which is appreciated. mielke did get some rng his way vs me (grrr....noooo.....why would you do that :((( ) but hes far into cup at the moment and i feel like hes been playing a lot of the adv lower tiers in these subforum tournaments this year, regardless of that i have too much faith in fatty
ADV: Shiba vs LpZ - its 2025 shiba what more do you want. lpz should be grateful he's gracing his presence at all. anyway shiba's team last week was a pretty cool bring that worked out, the creation of said team may be influenced by certain....criticisms....of his building style. i think if he continues to be in tune with the meta like this (i believe he had a really good advpl) then i think he should have this down, but with that being said lpz has been That Guy for a while now on this website. he had some set preferences on teams that i disliked when it comes to adv in the past but he is very much a strong player
GSC: Real FV13 vs Indulge in dreams - real is one of those guys that when he locks in he really locks the fuck in, so it depends on how much he cares, and if his janky shit hits or not. he wins a lot of games by just being better than his opponent and finding his way out of really fuckin stupid end games. he has been on a little bit of a downturn as of late but idk anything about his opponent so will bold real
RBY: Teh vs magialice - both of these ppl beat melbelle so i dont know who is better, teh has been luckier apparently so that probably is a good thing

Cinnabar MissingNoNames (5) vs (5) Azelf on the Shelf
SV: Mossy Sandwich vs Feliburn - barclay can have it im sleepy
SV: Mindnight vs Kate - hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
SS: One Last Kiss vs Taka - coinflipped this one
SM: Adaam vs robjr - adaam has been cooking up fire in sm as of late (thank you for the team), and i always bold rob which is boring and ppl say i glaze him too much. definitely the hl of the week alongside aly vs attribute though
ORAS: ManOfMany vs Dj Breloominati♬ - spitfire games have some wacky shit to them, and i'd definitely find his finals game vs shiba really funny if i didn't have a stake in it. mr many is pretty epic when it comes to pu, and i don't think it's totally fair to hold last week's loss against him. he objectively has way better of a support system than spitfire does after leaving the tycoon household, so i think there's potential for an upset here
BW: Accel vs Mister McLovin - accel seems in form when it comes to bw and mister mclovin got lucky last week i think
DPP: Cam vs TSR - very biased pick, i honestly don't know how much tsr gives a fuck about this tour (common theme right now sorry) and i'm p sure cam has actually won more but i think tsr has a higher ceiling
ADV: Heysup vs Parpar - i think parpar actually beat heysup in their last encounter and i think its boring bolding the sup all the time
GSC: feen vs leoperi - i honestly don't know enough about leoperi. i feel a little bad for feen like he's probably just going to be "the guy you throw into gsc" now if he keeps winning which is probably not a fate you look forward to. but he is winning!
RBY: Sabelette vs Wanted in 49 States - sab is one of the faces of rby, the other guy i know was pretty cool in my pubd chat a year and a half ago but other than that sorry idk rby is not a tier im familliar enough with

 

[NDK]

Im bored so here are predicts for week 3:

Predicts

Mikan Island Monster Carrots (6) vs (4) Gilderoy Lokix
SV: hellom vs Kitoothe
Kitoothe had a rough match last week losing to Lolo, but I think they can pull off the win here against hellom, who also lost last week's game.
SV: lax vs 691
While Lax is an amazing player, having won his first two matches, those were in SM and I think 691's SV experience would prove to be the victor here.
SS: Xrn vs Moutemoute
Xrn won their SS UU match for week 1, and I feel like they are the stronger overall player.
SS: Jojen vs dunoks
dunoks is currently 2-0 in the tour and is a very good SS UU player.
ORAS: Pak vs BP
Pak will prep like crazy and has probably the most knowledge in ORAS UU.
BW: MrAldo vs Amukamara
Liam is insane at BW, and is an extremely strong player here.
DPP: Django vs jackuzzler
jackuzzler is pretty good at DPP UU, having won DPP UU open but I think that Django has more experience in mons overall.
ADV: Charmriah vs crying
I am a very big fan of Charmriah, and they should win this game barring some insane techs from crying.
ADV: Micciu vs A Welcome Guest
I feel like Micciu will bounce back here.
RBY: THE_CHUNGLER vs Maris Bonibell
Maris is very good at RBY and Chungler has gotten unlucky in the previous two games. This should be a good match.

Soul Dew Syndicate (5) vs (5) Twinkatons
SV: TJ vs Azick
TJ got haxed last week vs Feli and I expect them to come back roaring with a win here.
SV: mintwinter vs Sabella
Finally we get to see mintwinter's debut. However I think Sabella is an exellent SV UU player and will have a bounceback game here.
SS: DripLegend vs avarice
I'm expecting that avarice will win due to significantly more SS UU experience.
SM: seraphz vs Indigo Plateau
IP has a load of experience when it comes to SM, and I expect them to win in this matchup.
ORAS: Lyssa vs etern
Lyssa is a very good player overall, and I expect her to win this ORAS game.
DPP: BeatsBlack vs Corperate n
I feel like Corperate n has played DPP UU for years and has a ton of experience here.
ADV: fatty vs mielke
I feel like mielke can upset fatty due to his play here. This should be a fantastic match.
ADV: Shiba vs LpZ
Something tells me that I should pick Shiba here.
GSC: Real FV13 vs Indulge in dreams
I feel like Real FV13 has more experience with GSC UU than Indulge in Dreams, so I expect them to win here.
RBY: Teh vs magialice
Teh I feel gets luckier in this tour and I expect the luck to continue.

Cinnabar MissingNoNames (5) vs (5) Azelf on the Shelf
SV: Mossy Sandwich vs Feliburn
Feliburn won last week and I expect them to continue the momentum against Mossy.
SV: Mindnight vs Kate
Mindnight is currently 2-0 and has a ton of momentum going for them. Kate is an excellent player though and this match should be a good one.
SS: One Last Kiss vs Taka
Taka I feel would prep harder than One Last Kiss here and I feel that extra prep gives them the win.
SM: Adaam vs robjr
This should be another great match. Picking robjr as have a gut feeling he will win this.
ORAS: ManOfMany vs Dj Breloominati♬
Spitfire is having a rather poor tour at 0-2, but I feel like this is the chance to shine as this match is in ORAS, a tier Spitfire went 6-1 in.
BW: Accel vs Mister McLovin
Accel has a ton of experience in BW UU, and I feel like they can pull of the win here.
DPP: Cam vs TSR
Cam won in Week 1 in DPP, and I expect them to win this match here.
ADV: Heysup vs Parpar
Parpar is good in ADV, however Heysup is undefeated and has a ton of experience in this tier.
GSC: feen vs leoperi
leoperi is a very good GSC UU player, who knows the ins and outs of the tier, although I expect Feen to put up a very good fight.
RBY: Sabelette vs Wanted in 49 States
Sabelette is one of the best RBY players, and I expect her to continue her winning streak.

The Amazing Ambipoms (6) vs (4) Vanilluxe Iced Latte
SV: Tree69420 vs ThatOneApple
I'm a big fan of Tree, and I expect them to pull of the win here.
SV: Career Ended vs haxlolo
Lolo is currently 2-0 in the tour, so it would be foolish of me not to bold them here. Career Ended is also a fantastic player so I this should be a very good match.
SS: DugZa vs passion
I think DugZa wins here, especially as I don't know how much experience passion has in SS UU.
SM: Hacker vs hex
Hacker was undefeated in SM last UUBD and I don't know how much experience hex has in SM.
ORAS: Hydronics vs Lycans
Lycans I feel has a ton of experience when it comes to ORAS, although Hydronics could definetely pull of a win here.
BW: Bouff vs Slip
I am a big fan of Slip here, and they are currently 2-0 in the tour with some very good play.
DPP: Drud vs Xiri
I have a gut feeling that Xiri wins in this week.
ADV: umbry vs Attribute
umbry is undefeated and I expect her to win in this match against Attribute.
GSC: evakiyama! vs Estarossa
evakiyama is currently undefeated and knows a great deal of GSC. Estarossa is a very good player though, and the match could go either way.
RBY: Melbelle vs Theycallmephil
Melbelle has been unlucky this tour, but had a 6-1 UUFPL, so I expect them to bounce back here.

Good luck to all teams but especially the Azelfs!
