Follow all tournament rules, as shown here.
Please schedule on Smogon, through VMs if able, makes it easier for me in the case an activity call needs to be made.
Managers may make substitutions once the week has begun, please tag the hosts( FlamPoke and I) as well as the opposing manager, and the opposing player that is affected by the substitution. Players that are subbed out may not be subbed back in that week.
Replays are mandatory for your win to count.

Ivy Gang (4) vs (4) Pretentious Probopass
SV: Tuthur vs fish anemometer - fish is probably fuming about what happened in circuit poffs and he won't take it lightly. plus, i think he's better than tuthur imo. should still be a close one and a fun one to spectate
SV: LettuceLeaf07 vs DripLegend - no clue, i think they are of a similar skill level, could go either way
SS: Toto vs Medeia - can't use toto teams vs toto, plus i think he's the better clicker + a dirty haxer
SM: sugar ovens vs btboy - btboomer knows this tier by heart atp
ORAS: sleid vs Drud - great matchup, both have good experience in the tier and support from their managers. will def be a good one
BW: Monai vs Yovan - idk how much time yovan will put into prep + monai is the bw goat
DPP: Hubriz vs a fruitshop owner - fruits got a great upset win last week vs beats, i think they can win this with drud support
ADV: Hachimaki vs bydy - hachi is the goat while idk the other guy
GSC: LustfulLice vs Alice Kazumi - i personally think lice is better tho i wouldn't be surprised by an upset either
RBY: Maris Bonibell vs torkonpeter - flipped a coin

Venomous Vigilantes (4) vs (5) Pay Day Persians
SV: OranBerryBlissey10 vs asa - cool mu, i personally think obb is slightly better, mostly depends on how much time either player puts into prep
SV: Baddy vs Fragments - i think baddy is a better overall player
SS: Pokeslice vs 5gen - 5gen is a master of ss teambuilding while slice has been "innovating" by loading sun / eggy / tangdash
SM: DugZa vs MZ - i personally prefer mz as a player overall but both could realistically win here
ORAS: BaitWiz vs estra - both lost last week but gut feeling says estra
BW: yo cho vs skrimps - click master vs prep master. i have got no clue
DPP: jhm5 vs Plague - skrimps support
ADV: plznostep vs Baoba - sorry steppy but baoba is the goat. wouldn't be surprised by an upset
GSC: Zpice vs Aurist - i think zpice will tryhard prep and pull ahead that way, he should have it if he doesn't choke
RBY: SaDiSTiCNarwhal vs YBW - flipped a coin
 
Ivy Gang (4) vs (3) Pretentious Probopass
SV: Tuthur vs fish anemometer - fish is gonna load something unholy to win while tuthur’s focused on other tiers
SV: LettuceLeaf07 vs DripLegend - can’t bold against drip
SS: Toto vs Medeia - toto doesn’t want to start 0-2
SM: sugar ovens vs btboy - btboy will throw because he’s against toto, I know this tale all too well
ORAS: sleid vs Drud - two of my boys so I don’t like predicting here to begin with, but then we also gotta include the fact that both are excellent and it’s damn near impossible to decide which of them will win so I won’t
BW: Monai vs Yovan - surely yovan doesn’t go 1-x in another Olympiad, especially when Monai’s busy
DPP: Hubriz vs a fruitshop owner - nucl teammate back for round two with something to prove
ADV: Hachimaki vs bydy - dude I have zero clue LOL
GSC: LustfulLice vs Alice Kazumi - I also have zero clue here sorry
RBY: Maris Bonibell vs torkonpeter - rby cup winner

Simi Spectacles (5) vs (5) Moonshine Musharnas
SV: SPHZ vs TomatoZause - 1-5 umpl despite my best efforts
SV: Danny vs THE_CHUNGLER - can’t bold agains danny
SS: Ninja vs diegoyuhhi - Diego’s gonna load a c tier mon that ninja doesn’t recognize and own him with it
SM: SBPC vs Sputnik - idk, just kinda gut feeling on this one, don’t have a good reason sorry
ORAS: 5Dots vs neomon - I’m off of 5dots hatewatch, he’s just been doing well recently and I don’t see it stopping soon
BW: Tack vs Dusk - she’s gonna tryhard after losing last week
DPP: a fairy vs BeatsBlack - if I ever bold against beats it better be because he’s facing heysup or drud
ADV: wooper vs JoaF - I love wooper but I think he’s outmatched here, joaf’s got stronger performances
GSC: BeeOrSomething vs Gallinova - bee’s one of the best in the tournament, hard to bold against them
RBY: Cao Jie vs NotVeryCake - idk cake’s good so I’ll give it to her

SS: Toto vs Medeia - Toto seems more in-tune with SS ZU than Medeia and just off last week's in-game play, I rate Toto's play higher. Main thing working against Toto is if he doesn't build and Probos have a good scout and prep well, I can see Medeia pulling a good matchup. That being said, Medeia didn't build last week either. 15% chance this is a mirror match.
SM: sugar ovens vs btboy - btboy is one of the better builders in SM and is a solid pilot. I think btboy is somewhat favored here because of that. sugar overs looked fine last week because sugar's team looked standard and in-game was good overall, just that mz outplayed.
ORAS: sleid vs Drud - Highlight matchup for me. I rate drud's in-game play more than sleid's, which is why I favor drud slightly here. sleid has much more building experience and knows the meta more imo, so he can definitely craft a solid matchup and pilot to a win. I wonder if drud will just recycle another twitt team, have another source, or if he'll build something new.

SS: Ninja vs diegoyuhhi - Honestly this is like 80-20 on paper and would be more lopsided if I didn't know Ninja had success in ss zu back in the day. Diego looked like jesus last week and it turned it he had his opp's team the whole time, but to make the plays he made is still impressive. Meanwhile, Ninja's play and building left a lot to be desired. I loved the Kadabra, then it was never used, which sucked.
SM: SBPC vs Sputnik - Better player and builder to me. Sputnik had some key flaws last week, notably how he let Muk set up and went to Crustle too late. I feel that SBPC is on a mission in sm and he had an impressive win over dugza last week, who's a proven sm zu player. While SBPC didn't play a perfect game, I think he performed p well.
ORAS: 5Dots vs neomon - 5dots is the scariest oras player to prep for because he can bring anything (see Natu week one). Moreover, 5dots is an oras zu main through and through, and it seems like he's always playing it in team tours. Meanwhile, neomon brought a pretty basic hazard stack and played well for the most part (I probably would've went into Frog during the Vib vs Gourg sequence). neomon did get haxed during key turns, so he did have a decent shot at winning imo if not for that. I think this matchup is somewhat close all things considered.
