UUSD IV - Semifinals

[Frozoid]

Welcome to the final week of the regular season! Please familiarize yourself with the following:

• 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.

GOOOO SANDACONDAS

 

[Slip]

Not by popular demand I am back with semifinal predictions.

Lake of Outrage Sandacondas vs Dragon's Den Dragonairs
SV UU: Mossy Sandwich vs vivalospride - both have been having a really good showing this tournament, i think viv is a bit more vetted in these playoff moments tho so I am giving the edge to him
SV UU: Azick vs Moutemoute - Both coming off a pretty decent win should be a good match on the field and in the chat
SV UU: gum vs Feliburn - #1 Feliburn fan
SV UU: Fc vs Notily - Fc wins at whatever tier he plays. Notily can compete tho so it should be a fun match
SS UU: Luthier vs BigFatMantis - omg go bfm
SM UU: pdt vs TDK - omg go pdt
ORAS UU: dingbat vs Andyboy - has Andyboy ever played this tier before?
BW UU: Nalorium vs rs - big sean is back after last week I think he has what it takes to stop a Nalo team
DPP UU: Thiago Nunes vs Eternal Spirit - TNunes just has a lot of good experience in this specific tier. Eternal Spirit won vs him w1 so this could be a blunder pick but I believe in my gut
ADV UU: Heysup vs col49 - ik col has a pocket for the older gens but idk if I have ever seen him play adv and heysup is heysup so I am just going off of what I have seen
GSC UU: vani vs Sage - GSageC is pretty goated
RBY UU: YBW vs royzin - Feel like royzin has been winning a lot but I still can't be asked to watch rby

Violet City Vtubers vs Tohjo Falls Dragonites
SV UU: justdrew vs Gondra - year of the drew in individuals isn't over yet tho dw
SV UU: Mimilucha vs TyCarter - dude this one can go either way tbh they got like the same w/l record against similar opponents idt I have bolded Ty yet tho so maybe this will give him the extra boost
SV UU: Rasche vs starbitstorm - my 2 children going head to head but since sbs already won a tour this year go Rasche!
SV UU: 691 vs Parpar - 691 is my goat but unfortunately I am also #1 parpar fan so I hope he wins
SS UU: Liz Angeles vs dex - clutch or kick liz you got it tho
SM UU: EternalSnowman vs robjr - hard to bold against rob as I've said
ORAS UU: Lyssa vs ojr - Lyssa bounces back lets go
BW UU: Punny vs Fakee - Fakee passed me teams during classic I owe him this one gl goat
DPP UU: Micciu vs LpZ - LpZ has been looking good lately I'm sticking with gut
ADV UU: Chaos23333 vs Xrn - Xrn has been looking unstoppable this tour so I am leaning him
GSC UU: Real FV13 vs Mystras - omg go mystras
RBY UU: Torchic vs Sabelette - this one is going to be really close both are going to tryhard af it could go either way, but I think Torchic might just barely have the edge out of experience. I hope either wins tho ilu both

 

[spell]

Violet City Vtubers vs Tohjo Falls Dragonites
SV UU: justdrew vs Gondra - This may be a bit of an upset pick, since drew really levelled up I feel since the gen has started and actually is a pretty good player now (makes me feel better about losing), but I also think that Gondra is mega heat and his showing in SV so far has been pretty stellar. Drew will definitely bring the more unorthodox team, which is saying something since the players below him are sbs and carter... but yeah. I think the Gade disciple will win.
SV UU: Mimilucha vs TyCarter - Carter has been doing fine, but his losses were pretty bad IMO. Comparatively, Lucha has been doing quite alright, and has been putting together a nice string of results backed by just consistent playing and not trying to bring too much crack. I respect that, and think pretty highly of his ceiling so I think he'll win.
SV UU: Rasche vs starbitstorm - Rasche brought Him, therefore he'll win. I also think sbs has been pretty unimpressive this tour.
SV UU: 691 vs Parpar - Since his pivot to SV, 691 has went 4-1 whereas parpar has floundered, getting pretty thoroughly beaten in pretty much every game besides last week and... against hs lol. So I think the gap here is quite big, rooting for the goat.
SS UU: Liz Angeles vs dex - Liz has uncrusted, dex still doesnt say gg
ORAS UU: Lyssa vs ojr - didnt know ojr played oras...? rei has been looking great and playing confidently which i cant say ive seen her do in a bit.
BW UU: Punny vs Fakee - Upset time
RBY UU: Torchic vs Sabelette - I believe in the Power

Go dragonairs we will win this time Inshallah

 

[Corperate n]

biased and uninformed

Lake of Outrage Sandacondas (4) vs Dragon's Den Dragonairs (8)
SV UU: Mossy Sandwich vs vivalospride - bonus points if he uses azumarill
SV UU: Azick vs Moutemoute - moute just seems super comfortable rn in a good way
SV UU: gum vs Feliburn - I'm a feli fan, and think he'll bounce back after a bit on the bench, however I can't say for sure and this predict is kinda bias
SV UU: Fc vs Notily - notily seems to have good reputation and im sure he's good, but i personally havent seen them play and I know Fc is good + think he'll get passed a strong team
SS UU: Luthier vs BigFatMantis - I dig this lineup change from the dragonairs but I think luthier will beat the cheese thrown at him
SM UU: pdt vs TDK - hype match, gut tells me tdk will call one of pdt's big clicks and take the game from there, but ofc it's a very close one
ORAS UU: dingbat vs Andyboy - on a kill streak, can't bold against him
BW UU: Nalorium vs rs - regular sean seems to be finding his form and he's good as hell when in form
DPP UU: Thiago Nunes vs Eternal Spirit - think his offbeat stuff is the right kind of offbeat atm
ADV UU: Heysup vs col49 - He'll bring some mon that surprises col. I can't imagine that there isnt some big hax in this game but idk in whose favor
GSC UU: vani vs Sage - more biased predicts
RBY UU: YBW vs royzin - this guy knows how to win in rby

Violet City Vtubers (8) vs Tohjo Falls Dragonites (4)
SV UU: justdrew vs Gondra - Drew solid but gondra streaking, and his ceiling is high so can't go against him when in this form
SV UU: Mimilucha vs TyCarter - I trust mimi's prep more
SV UU: Rasche vs starbitstorm - Rasche in very good form recently
SV UU: 691 vs Parpar - just having a better tour it seems, tho i haven't watched much of these players
SS UU: Liz Angeles vs dex - I trust liz's prep a lot in this tier, and prep means a lot in this tier
SM UU: EternalSnowman vs robjr - I've had the good fortune to team with rob twice this year and he just gives off so much confidence I can't not be confident in him
ORAS UU: Lyssa vs ojr - Just more proven here, not much to say
BW UU: Punny vs Fakee - another player I can't not be confident in
DPP UU: Micciu vs LpZ - eminates pouss energy
ADV UU: Chaos23333 vs Xrn - very hype match according to the records sheet
GSC UU: Real FV13 vs Mystras - I think better player is fv, but mystras better in prep so close
RBY UU: Torchic vs Sabelette - if she has the juoean support nothing can stop her

mildly rooting for dragonairs and vtubers if bouff streams, mostly rooting for good games to watch :]

[Easter Bliss]

Lake of Outrage Sandacondas (11) vs (1) Dragon's Den Dragonairs (the semis loss prophecy must be fulfilled at all costs)
none of this is serious btw!!!
SV UU: Mossy Sandwich vs vivalospride - It is said in legend that those who are sandslashed are never the same. Being graced by such an experience will grant Mossy with the necessary strength to overcome his opponent, supervegeta20.
SV UU: Azick vs Moutemoute - I don't know if I've got a bad sample or what, but every Azick game I've had the displeasure of watching should probably be censored as graphic content (I've seen 2.) For each turn of each game I've watched, at least 2 years were deducted from my lifespan. The most disturbing part about it all is that he's somehow been doing well ??? Predicting Azick to take it in a game so psychologically scarring that moute may never play mons again.
SV UU: gum vs Feliburn - I'm sure Feli would not like to get cheesed again, but unfortunately the flinch rate on Fiery Wrath says otherwise.
SV UU: Fc vs Notily - Given that fc is a very famous rby uu main, the least I could do is honor that and coinflip this MU.
SS UU: Luthier vs BigFatMantis - There are times where the record sheet must be consulted.
SM UU: pdt vs TDK - only this guy does shit like hard aero on kyurem and get away with it
ORAS UU: dingbat vs Andyboy - I've never seen Andyboy play ORAS, though I think he won there last week? Hopefully this is not the first time he is sent to Suicune hell. If it is, I'm sorry for the experience in advance.
BW UU: Nalorium vs rs - I don't know BW UU, but what I do know is that indigoplateu, Accel, robjr, Gondra, Xr, watashi, LpZ, Parpar, Sabelette, starbitstorm, dex, Mystras, TyCarter, Easter Bliss, Raahel, Tree69420, ojr, Fakee y'all are a bunch of losers I hope u know it.
DPP UU: Thiago Nunes vs Eternal Spirit - I said week 1 I believe in the nudes, and despite not watching any of his games or even the bare minimum of knowing his record, I continue to believe in the nudes.
ADV UU: Heysup vs col49 - Heysup will bring nonsense + an arcanine and win as he tends to do. Bonus points if there's a Cacturne or Roselia appearance.
GSC UU: vani vs Sage - 0:100
RBY UU: YBW vs royzin - The all-knowing coinflip says YBW wins

 

[Le Don]

A bit late but I just wanna s/o my team cause that was a cool aventure and especially hariyana grande and bebou Sirwings for carrying my ass every week

Rooting for Micciu

The Son of Osgoode will be back

 

[MrSoup]

Lake of Outrage Sandacondas (0) vs Dragon's Den Dragonairs (1)
SV UU: Mossy Sandwich vs vivalospride - could go either way
SV UU: Azick vs Moutemoute - not too sure haven’t watched their games this season
SV UU: gum vs Feliburn - haven’t heard of these players
SV UU: Fc vs Notily - both are strong not too sure
SS UU: Luthier vs BigFatMantis - easily
SM UU: pdt vs TDK - close
ORAS UU: dingbat vs Andyboy - coinflip
BW UU: Nalorium vs rs - when I saw this match up I was like “whaaaaaat???!?”
DPP UU: Thiago Nunes vs Eternal Spirit - I’d like both to win
ADV UU: Heysup vs col49 - tough one!
GSC UU: vani vs Sage - can’t believe we’re getting this matchup after both of their 9 year retirements
RBY UU: YBW vs royzin - I didn’t know these guys played this tier I thought they only played capmons

 

[vivalospride]

Violet City Vtubers vs Tohjo Falls Dragonites
SV UU: justdrew vs Gondra - Gondra is a great pilot for these subforum pls, I think he is the better player but i haven’t loved the dnites teams this tour so could go either way
SV UU: Mimilucha vs TyCarter - i think mimi is better, i recall tycarter using obnoxiously fat things which is despicable
SV UU: Rasche vs starbitstorm - am genuinely rooting for sbs and i think he is probably better as an individual slot than his opponent, however i am bolding against him to make a statement that his shenanigans should cease. you dont become the best by hard cting every opp and bringing absolute garbage with a horrendous mu spread, and ik your goal is to be the best. also your typing in game has gotta stop brother, NO disrespect i am genuinely rooting for u this is just an intervention
SV UU: 691 vs Parpar - i love par double but i’ve seen them use not one but TWO scream tails this tournament, absolutely no shot they win games w decisions like this being made, he also didn’t gg me the last time i played him on the ladder and the vtubers will avenge me
SS UU: Liz Angeles vs dex - dex’s behavior this tour has been questionable but i think he is the better player by a fair enough margin
SM UU: EternalSnowman vs robjr - top 2 player in pool, big esm fan but there’s been a handful of disappointing moments this tour, he can pull it out for sure, he is good enough, but 80/20 rob prolly
ORAS UU: Lyssa vs ojr - better player
BW UU: Punny vs Fakee - golly gee punny is amazing
DPP UU: Micciu vs LpZ - i am a massive lpz fan, have been high on him for years, however id be straight up SINNING if i bolded against micciu, micciu is one of the kindest people on this site, and thisbemyalt and donny penis will punch me in the face if i dont believe in him
ADV UU: Chaos23333 vs Xrn - dont know nothin abt these individuals but since returning to this website i have consistently seen xrn win large quantities of games and people just generally praise them quite a bit. Also bolding against Bouff’s ADV slot is fun and rewarding
GSC UU: Real FV13 vs Mystras - idk what’s happening
RBY UU: Torchic vs Sabelette - Torchic is good at this tier i think, the more i watch these games the more silly it feels investing in someone like Torchic in the first like 4ish rounds tho. I could slot myself in this tier and hax my way to an even record w minimal brain cells. ofc torchic has many brain cells and should outhax his opponent, or if no hax is present, outskill

[dawnbuster]

Lake of Outrage Sandacondas vs Dragon's Den Dragonairs
GSC UU: Vani vs. Sage

I like vani’s teams more and he is better at playing. Not much more to say than that really, he’s solid in GSC UU.

Violet City Vtubers vs Tohjo Falls Dragonites
GSC UU: Real FV13 vs Mystras

Quality match. Real FV is great at GSC UU and knows how to win, even when he loads crack. Mystras is also good though, he has improved a lot this tournament. I give the edge to FV, but this game is close and I look forward to it.
