  • 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

:buzzwole: Buzzwole's Boyfriends vs Ever Grande Espathras :espathra:
SV OU: eliana. 30/70 Javi - not too familiar with eliana, while Javi posted a good record in EPL with very solid wins over established players, gonna trust him here

SV OU: UnzipsCrogre 55/45 Redgoop115 - UnzipsCrogre is a clicker (i think? dont quote me) who can most likely succeed with a solid build passed, not entirely sure about goop's experience with sv and idk how familiar their manager pair is with the tier asw

SS OU: Mrbanana45 70/30 Zygarde is Bae♡ - banana is absolutely fire at ss, with good support from ib on top of that. this is a very powerful slot that's gonna be hard to take down, so ill take them over zygarde who im largely unfamiliar with.

SV UU: Lostmemories 51/49 memedose46 - UU is home of the clicker, two solid players duking it out so this will hinge on whoever has a better grasp of the meta. Im gonna lean lostmemories as a gut call here, but this can go either way.

SV RU: Rafadude 55/45 Fluore - Rafa is a quality RU, but im not sure about their familiarity with the tier as of late? a bit surprising they arent in UU here to me, but ill favor their experience over Fluore here as NDRU is a somewhat difficult tier to pick up imo

SV Ubers: 7u9i2 49/51 velvet - this mu is fire, 7u9i2 is more familiar with ubers itself, but velvet is a super quality player. ill say they very slightly take this in what should be a good one

SV DOU: big pichu 50/50 Astro Nation Shoe - idk doubles lolol

SV Monotype: Serise 60/40 TTTech - serise posted a quality record in NDMPL with a finalist performance in the NDM Open to boot, but TTTech is a solid player who can win, especially with support from onion. Will favor Serise's established success

:garganacl: Goob Shamone Garganacls vs Tower of Regigigas :regigigas:

SV OU: delemon 53/47 Mada - delemon has been very active in room tours/ladder, but saying they are more familiar with the tier would be disingenuous looking at Mada's participation in EPL/building for NDPL. I'll go Delemon in a close one here

SV OU: Nish the Great 49/51 Fragments - nish, although one a bit one dimensional building-wise, is one of the most underrated players out there as far as mainers go imo. Fragments is a more skilled player in general, but nish is very experienced and knows how to pilot what he likes very well. This is a super good mu, but bolding Fragments in a tight one.

SS OU: Batzi 50/50 2020 idm boomer - rooting for my friend boomer here, but this should be interesting

SV UU: awyp 60/40 Thedeathsofbeings234 - i think awyp can probably click better while the experience gap isnt too vast from my knowledge? Velc/Arishem is very good support which is why i think Slash still has a very solid shot here.

SV RU: spoo 65/35 JeoZ - not entirely familiar with JeoZ, but i trust spoo's ability to pick up a tier and click despite the fact that GSG seem to lack lower tier building from the outside looking in. Velc is great support so cant entirely count them out

SV Ubers: Alpha1013 55/45 Concept Everything - not very familiar with both in an ndubers context, think alpha has a bit more exp?

SV DOU: Glimmer 45/55 Penter - LOL idk doubles smudge said penter is good tho. Dont take this to heart pls

SV Monotype: Big Chungus irl 30/70 FadedCharm - not entirely familiar with Sir Chungus's work, ill favor FadedCharm for the experience factor and praise from peers, but it's mono so any1 can win

short dou predicts:
SV DOU: big pichu (65) vs Astro Nation Shoe (35) - decently favored for pichu based on general tour experience, but there's upset potential. looking forward to this one!

SV DOU: sir jelloton (60) vs AIRedzone (40) - jello's form/activity looks better lately, but I think it should be reasonably close. both players are strong.

SV DOU: Glimmer vs Penter - this is close and hard to assign a number to. both players have a unique building style, and that's where I think this one will be decided. Penter always has interesting builds that I personally get caught off guard by a lot, so I would probably give the slight edge to them, but genuinely can go either way.
