Rules​

• 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.

[lettuce]

last week i got... the predicts done thats for sure....
3/7 in Weez v BBC despite getting the 2-6 score right, 3/8 in Lumis v K-pop Audinos, and 6/8 in tombs vs dons because i didn't toto believe enough.

There's always time for improvement:

Weezer Weezings (3) vs (5) K-pop Audino Hunters
SV ZU: Mada vs etern (I'm more scared of Etern)
SV ZU: Akotelette vs Shadow079 (I'm not french so I haven't interacted with Ako much, but of what I do know they've played maybe 2 games in ZU Open. Shadow has Tuthur teams.)
SS ZU: Envy vs Tuthur (SURELY)
ORAS ZU: Bouff vs DugZa (DugZa beat Ruffles)
BW ZU: seraphz vs Gondra (I have no frame of reference here, but the Weezings haven't won in BW yet)
DPP ZU: Hubriz vs Plague (if there's one i get wrong this week its this one)
ADV ZU: Fogbound Lake vs Beka (one day I'll figure out who Beka is, I skipped the SM game again sorry, but that day won't be when they play Fogbound in ADV.)
RBY ZU: SaDiSTiCNarwhal vs Melbelle (both did lose last week, but I'd be more scared going against SaD)

Loathsome Lumineons (5) vs (3) Bastio Don Julio (watch this tie)
SV ZU: Trichotomy vs Soul King0 (Trich has at least done decently)
SV ZU: TwentyTwan vs budgetplayer (I think budget is gonna know how to play around TwentyTwan tech, but I'm excited to watch this one)
SS ZU: sky vs clean (I actually don't have a reason, it just felt 5-3)
ORAS ZU: Ruffles vs OranBerryBlissey10 (i will always be on the Ruffles hype train)
DPP ZU: skrimps vs Drud (gonna be a good one)
ADV ZU: Melninja vs BeatsBlack
GSC ZU: THE_CHUNGLER vs zause (what is a polar bear doing in Arlington Texas)
RBY ZU: acluh1 vs NotVeryCake (maybe I should watch the RBY games)

Rocky Helmet Rampardos (4) vs (4) Shady Spiritombs (rampardos win tho))
SV ZU: Esteb4n vs Baddy (esteb4n is very hard to shake, even though whatever Baddy has been cooking would be the type of team to shake probably anyone)
SV ZU: Django vs Danbear02 (Danbear still hasn't won yet)
SM ZU: 5gen vs Toto (not believing in Toto didn't work last week)
SM ZU: SBPC vs DD Joe (Think I've seen DD Joe play this tier more recently)
BW ZU: Tack vs LpZ (LpZ comeback tour)
DPP ZU: big tony 2014 vs plznostep (tony has gas and steppy looked like he got some bad RNG in the 2 games i recall)
ADV ZU: Aurist vs Baoba (Baoba)
RBY ZU: hammer798 vs PHB11677 (had to ask myself who picked RBY here, bolding the ppl who did ig)

 

[Pokeslice]

SS ZU: Envy vs Tuthur - better player alert

SS ZU: sky vs clean - I respect clean a lot in this tier even though I got haxed. He’s consistently good in his brings and skilled. His teammate OBB is a super fraud in SS ZU though

SS ZU: Baitwiz vs. TheFranklin - I’m the biggest baitwiz fan on the website.

SS ZU: Django vs Pokeslice - it’s a hypothetical matchup, but I’d win pretty handedly. I think Django is just afraid to play me

Bad predicts v4

Brute Bonnet Crew (3) vs (5) Lana Del Catty
SV ZU: MichaelderBeste2 vs diegoyuhhi to me, a highlight! Close game. Leaning towards diego if motiviated to pull some good building sheist
SV ZU: sleid vs lettuce I prefer sleid in other gens, but I think lettuce is more invested in cg
SS ZU: BaitWiz vs TheFranklin I would love to say b8, and I believe they have been playing better than previous years, but frank is a ss legend and my NL mate.
SM ZU: Greybaum vs btboy I lost against grey mainly bc I am bad and I couldnt see a line in time. btboy is, to me, a sm zu legend killer.
ORAS ZU: a fruitshop owner vs BP BP did great, but afo is afo.
ADV ZU: Zpice vs Hachimaki Locked in.
GSC ZU: Maris Bonibell vs LustfulLice HL! Pretty close, 45/55, but lice might be more focused on this.
RBY ZU: Lafell vs ButtGallon

Loathsome Lumineons (5) vs (3) Bastio Don Julio
SV ZU: Trichotomy vs Soul King0
SV ZU: TwentyTwan vs budgetplayer My NL mate is on fire and rising TT
SS ZU: sky vs clean I have been liking how nicholas is doing lately. sky can still win if gouda is incoming
ORAS ZU: Ruffles vs OranBerryBlissey10 OBB can win, but ruffles is being quite dominant
DPP ZU: skrimps vs Drud HL! I cannot root agianst drud, but if somebody can give them a bad time, it is skrimps. Drud ran away from SM, and for a good reason.
ADV ZU: Melninja vs BeatsBlack
GSC ZU: THE_CHUNGLER vs zause
RBY ZU: acluh1 vs NotVeryCake

Rocky Helmet Rampardos (5) vs (3) Shady Spiritombs
SV ZU: Esteb4n vs Baddy I love my platoon friend and I think is a great builder and a great pilot. Together with django they are unstoppable.
SV ZU: Django vs Danbear02 Above.
SM ZU: 5gen vs Toto HL!!!! 5gen gonna be solid, but toto even more. Solidness is the newest toto's luck.
SM ZU: SBPC vs DD Joe Love seeing SBPC playing SM ZU, and might bring a good team, but DD Joe is a strong pilot and can win with toto's support.
BW ZU: Tack vs LpZ HL! This time rooting for Tack. I would normally support LpZ, but I think Tack is being doing better this tour.
DPP ZU: big tony 2014 vs plznostep
ADV ZU: Aurist vs Baoba
RBY ZU: hammer798 vs PHB11677

Let's go week 4

Weezer Weezings (4) vs (4) K-pop Audino Hunters
SV ZU: Mada vs etern (better player ? idk tbh)
SV ZU: Akotelette vs Shadow079 (french)
SS ZU: Envy vs Tuthur (see above)
ORAS ZU: Bouff vs DugZa (played very well last week)
BW ZU: seraphz vs Gondra (idk)
DPP ZU: Hubriz vs Plague (better results)
ADV ZU: Fogbound Lake vs Beka (see above)
RBY ZU: SaDiSTiCNarwhal vs Melbelle (now it's 4-4)

Loathsome Lumineons (5) vs (3) Bastio Don Julio
SV ZU: Trichotomy vs Soul King0 (I really have nothing to say in SV bruh)
SV ZU: TwentyTwan vs budgetplayer (I wonder what part of the teamcord he'll paste in the battle chat this time)
SS ZU: sky vs clean (he's been cooking what can I say)
ORAS ZU: Ruffles vs OranBerryBlissey10 (both players lost last week while being mostly predicted to win so it evens out)
DPP ZU: skrimps vs Drud (if he loses he's likely cancering the rest of tour and I don't want that for him)
ADV ZU: Melninja vs BeatsBlack (joke is over)
GSC ZU: THE_CHUNGLER vs zause (heated rivalry)
RBY ZU: acluh1 vs NotVeryCake (the one correct rby predict I had so far was with a coinflip so I'll keep doing that)

Rocky Helmet Rampardos (4) vs (4) Shady Spiritombs
SV ZU: Esteb4n vs Baddy (he's nice with it)
SV ZU: Django vs Danbear02 ()
SM ZU: 5gen vs Toto (Toto can't do the running joke this week either, which has shown to decrease his haxing potential)
SM ZU: SBPC vs DD Joe (DDJoat)
BW ZU: Tack vs LpZ (tough call but this is tack's playground)
DPP ZU: big tony 2014 vs plznostep (big)
ADV ZU: Aurist vs Baoba (safe pick but keeps working)
RBY ZU: hammer798 vs PHB11677 (more fence sitting prediction 4-4)

now for my prediction stats so far :
week 1 : 14/24
week 2 : 14/24
week 3 : 14/24
although this is interestingly consistent, the haters were right and my predicts are very much mid, this is my apology to Phip and Drud, who are both struggling with nice guy february and I wish them the best in this endeavor
HOWEVER
succes per tier

SV	SS	SM	ORAS	BW	DPP	ADV	GSC	RBY
11/18	1/4	5/9	4/9	4/6	2/4	7/8	8/8	1/6

s/o all GSC slots for following the script
s/o big tony for ruinning my perfect adv predicts
s/o baitwiz for no reason
