Tyler has also been moved to the injured reserve while the Magikarp have picked up Ditto as a replacement.
  • TTS and TDS will take the stage in VGC 10 in one of the most confusing name match-ups and a rematch of the Top 4 of 2011 Nationals!
  • Also eye catching is the JAA battle between the Slakings and the Afrobulls as #1 pick makiri takes on a good friend and one of the greatest RBY battlers, Fish.
  • In a surprising twist, manager Ray Rizzo of the Cleveland Escavaliers has selected drcossack to battle Senior phenom Cybertron in VGC 10.
Good luck to all this week!

OH predictions I think I batted like worse than .500 with these in SPL and the elimination rounds at Nats and Worlds SO YOU SHOULD PROBABLY PUT TONS OF FAITH INTO THESE

Orlando Magikarp vs. San Antonio Spoinks
JAA: skarm vs. LonelyNess I swear to god if you lose I will mock you for so long it will seem like everyone forgot about Fly Rayquaza and Simisear and Exploding into double Protect and...

JAA: skarm vs LonelyNess Actually now that I mention it this seems about right
VGC 09: mattj vs.Omega Donut (C) This guy would have been my #1 pick if you'd let me manage. mattj likely to have great season, though
VGC 10: Firestorm (C) vs. Ninahaza no one wins, everyone loses, battle takes long enough it's confused with GSC

Sacremento Slakings vs. Chicago Afrobulls
JAA: makiri (C) vs. Fish If the "C" stands for coach he says he does that for our xbox hockey team too but we always lose so he'll probably lose at this too
VGC 09: theamericandream38 vs. Sixonesix the first time i saw six battle his opponent told him all his moves out loud and didnt realize it. i assume he has this power over everyone.
VGC 10: GEC vs. sandman Unless sandman uses Air Cutter Tornadus. Which I imagine he doesn't.
VGC 11: JabbaTheGriffin vs. The Wolf Can I bet someone 5 dollars Jabba will win that worked nicely last time
GBU Doubles: Carl vs. DuketheDevil CARL IS GOING TO BE PLAYING NHL12 24/7 AND NOT PRACTICING GG

New York Scraftys vs. Cleveland Escavaliers
