    OU GSC OU Discussion Thread

    I think it's an interesting question, because GSC teams can usually differ playstyles based on sets alone. Either way, I think you may be missing a few categories so here are a couple of examples to discuss: Is this a Boom offense? I wouldn't call it that personally. Yes, it's got 3 exploders...

    Implemented WCOP Format (tiers)

    IMO it would be a shame to exclude ADV from this new format. Of all the old gens, ADV has the most ladder traffic, and the best developmental system for new players. Between tournaments like Mushi League and Revival, new players gain exposure to ADV veterans and learn quickly. Many great players...

    Gen 3 Mixed Offense(?) w/ Spikes

    This is an interesting team, and quite frankly I use stuff like this all the time so I feel well positioned to offer you advice. First thing, as you've identified, the biggest problem with this team is that you're absolutely rolled by DDTar. On top of that, I think you're also fairly weak to...

    Tournaments ADVPL IV Format Discussion

    IMO 8x8 is the best format. 6 teams is cringe as was detailed multiple times in this thread already. However making it 10 slots will push it to at least 100 players drafted (80 starters and 20+ subs) which is pushing an event like this to the extreme. IMO the following slots are...

    Tournaments SPL XV ADV Discussion

    Week 3 review: As a preface this week had some very lopsided games so I'll be brief on those... baddummy vs M Dragon (W) People often exaggerate when they say a matchup is "unwinnable" but this really was the case here. The openings on teams like Rick's are scripted and he was always gonna...

    Tournaments SPL XV ADV Discussion

    Week 2 review: triangles vs BIHI (W) This was a strange game, perhaps due to Triangles's team. None of the mons on it are particularly out there but the arrangement is very far from standard. Anyway, the match starts with Triangles leading Metagross and BIHI leading Tyranitar. You'd assume...

    Tournaments SPL XV ADV Discussion

    As a neutral observer this season, I can offer objective thoughts about every game and I plan on doing just that! Here's my review of all the week 1 games: baddummy (W) vs SEA These guys have to know each other very well now, since this is a rematch from CI grand finals. Rick brought a team...

    Hey! Regarding your Battle Dome thread, next time you should get an approval by a subforum mod before you post a new thread. Looks like a high effort thread though, so you can consider this message an approval :toast:

    On 6-team PLs

    Personally I like proposal C as it removes the problem of teams not caring once they're out. It's also just an interesting format in general which will no doubt get people to care. At the minimum though, we should be looking to get rid of tiebreaks in the current format. They drag out those...
