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.

Anyways it's time for some authentic, farm-grown lettuce predicts. Last week, I got 5/8 in Audinos v Dons (was wrong on budget gondra and zcarlett), got 4/7-8 depending if you hold not bolding Baoba v the subbed slot against me, and i got 6/8 right on the Lumi v Rampardos series (missed 5gen and hammer). Overall I think I've had only 1 abysmal week in terms of predictions? Which I'll take, looks like I do know ball.

Weezer Weezings (3) vs (5) Bastio Don Julio
SV ZU: Mada vs hex (I think SVZU hex is a little underrated)
SV ZU: Akotelette vs zause (saved this one for last since I don't have a lot to stack up ako v zause with. and because I saved it for last I can use my favorite cop-out of 'this felt like a 3-5 MU')
SS ZU: Envy vs clean (have to respect the pricetag)
SS ZU: seraphz vs OranBerryBlissey10 (i feel like seraphz is the type of player to get a win off OBB, also I've been way too optimistic abt the dons elsewhere)
DPP ZU: Hubriz vs Drud (one does not simply predict against Drud + BB DPP)
ADV ZU: Fogbound Lake vs BeatsBlack (they're both not doing the best this tour, but I feel like BB is more likely to pull off a W here)
RBY ZU: Lyra vs NotVeryCake (kinda surprised to see Lyra in RBY, but idk who else it could've been really)
RBY ZU: SaDiSTiCNarwhal vs budgetplayer (would've been fun to see zause here, would've also been fun to see ako v budget i think, but I'll take seeing the RBudgetplaY-er)

K-pop Audino Hunters (4) vs (4) Rocky Helmet Rampardos (I think django and tony have good shots here)
SV ZU: etern vs Esteb4n (these SV games are gonna be hype, theres a lot of the top of the leaderboard facing each other. Both of them have 2 losses, but I wouldn't have been able to tell that if you asked me before I looked at the sheet. Esteb4n still the goat)
SV ZU: Shadow079 vs Django (wait what in the NU is going on here. I think that a well-supported shadow is a massive threat in SV)
SS ZU: Tuthur vs PrinceOfAllTacos (surely he gets more than 1)
ORAS ZU: DugZa vs 5Dots (is 4-0)
ORAS ZU: Beka vs 5gen (5core payoff)
BW ZU: Gondra vs Tack (I trust Tack in BW and I don't have anything on Gondra)
DPP ZU: Plague vs big tony 2014 (I do think tony is the underdog here)
RBY ZU: Melbelle vs hammer798 (hammer is pulling it off)

Brute Bonnet Crew (3) vs (5) Loathsome Lumineons
SV ZU: MichaelderBeste2 vs TwentyTwan (this feels like a wild take, but I think TwentyTwanTech can work on MDB2)
SV ZU: TBasedGod vs Trichotomy (I feel like Trich is less likely to fall to TBG tech than MDB2 is to fall to TwentyTwanTech.)
SS ZU: BaitWiz vs sky (I opened the sheet and saw 4 4-1 records. Sky was one.)
ORAS ZU: a fruitshop owner vs HAVOCKNIGHT (somehow missed afo being 5-0. I somewhat get the double ORAS now. Somewhat)
ORAS ZU: sleid vs Ruffles (and I mean somewhat because I was going to flip this one since Ruffles isnt undefeated or anything and because I trust sleid prep, but Ruffles is still Ruffles and I have a Ruffles bias in predicts)
BW ZU: Greybaum vs skrimps (skrimps tech)
DPP ZU: Tizio vs Jojen (I trust Tizio more, mostly since i know what Tizio brings)
GSC ZU: Maris Bonibell vs THE_CHUNGLER (I originally double bolded Maris for the bit, but it would be dishonest and ingenuine to not continue the bit)
