preliminary pre-PR roast:
(if you are offended by this post, know that it is meant to be 100% serious)

Juicy Joltiks:
A solid all around team. First there's Skarph, the greatest to ever do it (sorry Fardin, that ain't you. Not sure if you even crack the top 5 TBH). Then there's crying, a newer player on the AG scene, who's had some impressive runs recently. And you got MZ, a surefire performer in the ORAS/USUM slots. Swastik is coming off an impressive SS seasonal run, and Ainzcrad has proven his ability in AG team tours of the past. Satanic Beast is a solid USUM pick, and Inder is solid for SS. Not sure why Polt is here though, maybe to bring teams like this?

Crooked Crobats:
It is my unbiased opinion that this is a goated team.
O
M
L


Lethal Lucarios:
Definitely a shakier team from an initial glance, but could definitely outperform expectations with the right support. Kate is a great NDAG player, but she did lose to 6 Magnemite once with Kyurem-B on her team. Curious. Chlo is a strong ORAS pick, but drafting her might bear the cost of incomprehensible rubbish being posted in the team chat. But this is Kate's team after all, so who are we kidding! Andyboy is an outstanding player, just don't put him versus smeargle cheese and he should bring a dub in each week. I'm pretty sure Kate drafted Ballfire to eliminate from the NDAG pool the one player that beat her in NDPL (O M L), and Lunala/Lauriane/Rotten are good support options. Not sure why Kate drafted AGL though, Pichus isn't playing in this tour??!! Where has Pichus been btw, haven't seen her in a hot sec

Headstrong Hydreigons:
This is a solid team no doubt. Baconeatinassassin is one of the best to ever do it (unless he's playing Anique or default0), and should slot nicely into Bo3. Zayele is one of the best ORAS players here, and can generally slot wherever the team needs her. Lotiasite is a solid SS pick, as is Royal1604. Just restrain Loti from bringing LO Zygarde every week. GRNBLN and Unicorns are both coming off of impressive AGPL runs, so it was an interesting decision to draft both of them in a tour with only 1 USUM slot (nice one, Bacon). And last but certainly not least, we have 2 GOATS: Farce Of The Death and 80 Years (*8O Years).

Redacted Regirocks:
Another shakier team, that can do well if the team performs beyond the first 3 slots. Fc is lucky and bad. So is Icemaster! Except at least Icemaster has a Circuit Playoffs title. Default0 is god, enough said. Velvet is perhaps a bit rusty, but proved that she can perform when it matters during AGPL II. Mr. 378 provides good Ubers support, and temp provides good YouTube support! Crunchman will probably be contained into his own channel a week into the tour, and idk who Ren is tbh.

Malding Mandibuzzes:
Alright, who's gonna say it. Fardin + Geysers + Tic-Tac Toe Guru—now THAT'S good team chemistry if I've ever seen it. I mean, what could possibly go wrong there? Nothing more than some good ol' good spirited camaraderie, that's what. Very fitting for this trio to be on a team that contains the word "Malding". Staxi is a solid NDAG pick, and PDT is great in SS. Ransei brings in the much needed PH support, and fabwooloo should be alright. Snoms is perhaps a bit less established, but could make an impa—wait a second, where have I read this before :pensive:

The [Real and Serious] PR will be coming later this week (hopefully)

AG Snake II Power Rankings

Welcome to the Power Rankings for AG Snake II! This is the second edition of these power rankings, with the goal of these rankings to hype up the upcoming few weeks and give a representation of where each team is believed to stand in relation to the other teams. To obtain these rankings, for every single Tier, we have asked a manager from each team to rank everyone not on their team in that tier. The calculation for the total score is determined by the sum of scores for each tier; first place gets 6 points, second place gets 5 points, etc. For tiers with more than 6 people, I decided to divide the score by the number of slots to balance it out. For example, Galar has 2 slots, so scores would range from 1-12, which would be scaled down to between 1/2 and 6.

Even though the whole system serves to be as unbiased as possible, it does not mean these rankings will be predicative of final results! If you or your team end up low on this power ranking, please don't take it to heart; this tournament is meant to be fun and it is up to you to prove opinions wrong! However, if you feel that your pride hinges on these rankings, you may feel free to voice your complaints here and they might be answered.

A big thank you to all of the managers for contributing to the rankings! This includes cromagnet baconeatinassassin WSun1 Kate Jho Fc. Now, here are the rankings!

It was great fun being involved with the hydreigons.The team was filled with GOAT's so there wasn't much pressure on performing.
I'm grateful for baconeatinassassin for drafting me and for bearing me annoying hin for the last 3 weeks .
Shoutouts to Seldanna ,lotiasite ,Farce Of The Death of the death for the tests .It gave me a lot of experience and insight into the game.
Hydreigons ,we fucking rocked and hopefully I will get to see you guys in future tours.

its that time of the month, my mood is on a roller coaster. im dropping all my teams since my team is out. the value of all them combined equals to at least 500 usd, treat them well. also do not ping me if u use my teams and lose with them. never forget that the problem is always with you, not with my teams (i am serious)

https://pokepast.es/5d7234a6372781e6 "SS same team as vs kate but changed specs xern to have two geo xerns, specs xern works off surprise factor but he already seen that game, so instead he will hard his mon out of "specs" xern and give me a free geo" is what I said before the game however he instead made a big balls play midgame and knocked my powering up xern while i still had caly. however, endgame he played as if my last was specs xern, which was epic - my switcheroo payed off and I got to geo on hooh and close it out watch the game to see what I mean.
