Welcome to the semi-finals of TPP II! At the end of the round robin, the top four teams will move on to the playoffs where the first seed will play the fourth seed and the second seed will play the third seed to determine who will be this year’s finalists. A win will be worth 2 points, a draw 1, and a loss 0. Obviously, play on PS! (preferably main or smogtours server). Series are played in a best-of-one, except for Gen 7 Battle Factory and OU, which is Best-of-three. Deadline for games are every Sunday at 11:59PM GMT. Good luck to the semi-finals!
Tour Codes:

Note: Volcarona has been banned in StAAAbmons as of Week 5. Find the post for this here.


New to tours? Check out the rules here!
Sportsmanship: Don't be an ass. Not to your opponents, not to your team, not on PS, not on Smogon, not to me. A bit of friendly banter is ok, but please know where to draw the line. Think before you type, please.

Scheduling and Activity Wins: Contact your opponent as quickly as possible on their Smogon wall, and look out for them on PS. You will have one week from the posting of the week's matches to get it done, and I will not be granting any extensions for any reasons. If your opponent is not responding to your post on their wall, cannot be found on PS, or miss multiple scheduled times, make a detailed activity post in the thread letting me know why you deserve the win. No activity post means no activity call. As long as you have visible attempts at scheduling (such as wall posts), you will be fine.

Disconnections and Timer: A timer loss is a loss. No if's, and's, or but's about it. If your opponent is nice enough to replay that's fine, but they are by no means obligated to.

Ghosting and Identity: Don't take or give battle advice or make moves based solely on the suggestions of others, and don't pretend to be someone else in order to play as them. You will be caught, and you will be disqualified from this season as well as future PS! tournaments (BLT, PSPL, etc.).

Substitutions: Managers are free to substitute out inactive players at any point during the week with any subs they chose during the draft. Be sure to post in the thread when making a substitution.

predicts! angry react me if i predicted that you'll lose.

(3) Cinnabar Cinderaces vs Verdanturf Town Roselia (5)
StAAAbmons: Aloopuriza (60) vs (40) Dylanronpa - I haven't seen enough of Dylanronpa this TPP at all, and I've been pretty impressed with Aloo's run even if he has a negative record.
Stab N' Mega: Chazm (40) vs (60) Catalystic - Cata has had a far more dominant run this TPP, only losing to Poka. I expect his dominance to continue in this game.
Gen 7 Battle Factory (Bo3): CasualDotExe (45) vs (55) Trace - I predict Trace will get the better teams.
RUBL: Averado (55) vs (45) Expulso - Averardo won last time they played and Averardo has an overall better record. They've had negative momentum in the past 2 weeks though, so I think this will be close regardless.
Gen 5 Monotype UU: Splash (100) vs (0) DerpedDeath - Yeah I'm extremely confident that Splash will win this—one of the star players this TPP easily (I'm betting he's pretty glad DanDaMan99 picked him up over me now...). I'm not sure how much Derp has played Gen 5, Mono, or even Gen 5 Mono. Honestly pretty surprised PA wasn't being played here.
Bo3 OU: TectonicDestroyer (40) vs (60) EternalSnowman - I feel pretty good about ESM's chances in this set. He's brought mostly solid and consistent teams and has played very well this TPP. Tect should still be in contention for sure, especially after some solid wins over Star and Ewin.
Doubles LC: (30) LolTrollGame vs (70) Voltix - 3.5k btw lol, Voltix really popped off this pre-season with a 4-1 record. LTG hasn't had the best season, but it's still far from a bad one. I simply think Voltix is the better builder and more consistent performer this TPP and it should show in this match.
Same Six (Avalugg, Copperajah, Hydreigon, Azumarill, Pelipper, Steelix) : Ascelsior (45) vs (55) 52Gambit - I think Roselias will make a better Same Six team.

I'm not doing Absols v Scrafties predictions because I'm a cheerleader for both '-'
 
Real late predicts as usual, but with only 4 teams and on mobile:

Cinnabar Cinderaces (5) vs Verdanturf Town Roselia (3)

StAAAbmons: Aloopuriza vs Dylanronpa - While aloo hasn't had the best run so far, he's been playing more than his oppo. Aloo is also pretty experienced in staaab, and idk how experienced dylan is, but despite the fact dylan is omm staff I think aloo takes this.
Stab N' Mega: Chazm vs Catalystic - Hl match, both are great snm players but I have to pick cara here, what an absolute goat.
Gen 7 Battle Factory (Bo3): CasualDotExe vs Trace - Happened, but was expecting casual to win.
RUBL: Averado vs Expulso - A rematch in which aver won last time, expecting the same result. Should be a good one.
Gen 5 Monotype UU: Splash vs DerpedDeath - With only 1 loss in ou and no losses in gen 5 mono uu, I don't see Splash losing this, they've really been making a splash this tpp.
Bo3 OU: TectonicDestroyer vs EternalSnowman - From what I've heard, esm is more solid in ou, so going with him. Although... tect has pulled upsets in ou twice now... wouldn't be surprised if they pull yet another upset.
Doubles LC: LolTrollGame vs Voltix - Ngl, I've been impressed by what I've seen from ltg so far, but... its voltix. Can I really bet against voltix in this tier?
Same Six (Avalugg, Copperajah, Hydreigon, Azumarill, Pelipper, Steelix) : Ascelsior vs 52Gambit - These 2 have similar records, so I can see it going way, but Acsel has been playing same six the whole time, so giving acsel the slight edge.

Skypiea Scrafties (3) vs Absolute Absolposters (5)

StAAAbmons: Don Vascus vs The Number Man - This shouldn't be close as tnm is too goated, sorry Don.
Stab N' Mega: PokaPK vs icemaster523 - Ice is also too goated.
Gen 7 Battle Factory (Bo3): Irpachuza vs King Leo V - Both are good, but I think leo has been more consistent.
RUBL: Mac3 vs ToastedBunzzz02 - Big Mac vs Toasted Buns, should be a good one. Toasted won last time but mac has been performing better overall, so I see mac winning this time around.
Gen 5 Monotype UU: Maki's Fox vs K3ppr - This is actually a pretty goated match imo, both of these players being 2-1 in this tier, but favoring k3ppr only by a hair, yes a literal hair, because that's how close I see this as.
Bo3 OU: Onoka vs Cheese555 - While cheese has beaten some good ou players, I've seen Onoka play better over the course of tpp.
Doubles LC: Z Strats vs realSurfyTeen - Sorry surfy, but this lad is 7-0.
Same Six (Orbeetle, Stoutland, Talonflame, Mamoswine, Weavile, Beedrill) : Trade vs kythr - Trade, similar to blt has been all over the place in where they are slotted, playing 5 different tiers and with a good record. However, kythr has the better record and has been focusing mainly on 2 tiers, this being one of them. So because of that, I think kythr will win this epic hl match.

Also, was really fun being on the snoms, thank you team for making this a fun tour despite lots of bad luck!

(Apologies to anyone I may have possibly offended, please do not take these very seriously.)

Would like a chance to shoutout my team before I do predicts, despite our record I felt like we had an insanely good team. We caught some unlucky breaks and I didn't really help that but it was a fun road with them^^
And ofc s/o to managers temp and APW001 for showing up every single week and providing teams for every tier even when we didn't have a chance. Best managers of tpp this year tbh

Will the Camomons meteorologist get to see Skypiea Scrafties and Verdanturf Town Roselia, the two teams that sought for help in their Mono-Camo endeavors, in the Finals?

Stay tuned.
