ICYMI:

Jamez and I have publicly assigned tiers and set our schedule in the 1v1 Discord Server's #classic-discussion channel way before Boat gets to post. As such, we agreed to play on Friday, 5th of November, 10:00 PM GMT -4 (Saturday, 6th of November, 10:00 AM GMT +8). BW, DPP, and ADV are the generations chosen for this endeavor.

Song of the game:

id like to thank Boat for the adv teams, I’m not sure I could’ve gone this far without your help. adv is definitely a weak area of mine and the teams definitely saved my ass here.
ggs Euphonos it was fun, not the cleanest series unfort, sorry about that. I always look forward to playing you in any tier cuz of how crafty you are.

Well, it was a pretty fun classic for me, but this tournament more than ever I was really struggling to find the time to build, and I gotta say I’m definitely ready for a break. I probably won’t be doing much building at all until the start of PL now. It’s tough with having school, sports, a job. Thanks to Fleeting Memories for letting me have someone to vent to or talk to about how much tougher this was gonna be than I thought. Anyways with all that being said, I’ll see y’all in multigen seeded and PL.

Good day, everyone!

So, this is actually my first time to immerse myself in 1v1 Classic (remember, I had to take a good rest after all the tournaments I have participated throughout that year, so I had to skip this), and I just wanted to take a shot at DPP Cup and ADV Cup. Of course, you'd know my history in DPP Cup when DEG pirated me into learning DPP 1v1 all by myself in 1v1 World Cup IV and Dj Breloominati♬ who spent even a fraction of his time to help me build teams. In ADV Cup, I'd say, I'd blame give Quantum Tesseract the credit for making me play ADV 1v1 Duo Swiss; I had a greatly rocky start at first using his teams, and then I ended up trying to learn the metagame by myself and actually putting my own teams apart from his. Despite Quantum Tesseract carrying me most of the time to the playoffs of that Swiss Tour, we got eliminated quite early. However, with the knowledge I got mostly from battling those sorts of competitors, I ended up taking a shot at ADV 1v1 Cup; sadly, I got eliminated in Round 2.

In both of those tournaments I've gotten into, I didn't expect any result regardless of what I've done; what matters the most to me is that I make sure all the teams I've built are rock-solid and are capable of covering almost every significant threat in those metagames. With that kind of mindset (and a hint of luck, I would say, lol), I eventually got myself as the Champion of DPP 1v1 Cup, which is actually my very first win in my over-a-decade competitive Pokemon battling stint. Thing is, I'm not expecting myself to qualify in that entire Classic Playoffs because 1) apparently, winning one Cup doesn't guarantee me chances of getting into one given their new system, and 2) there's also USUM, ORAS, and BW - the one generation I dreaded the most. This is why I sought Elo Bandit and Potatochan for USUM/ORAS/ADV and BW prep respectively, and I can't thank them enough for the support these guys gave me. Looking forward to working with the both of you soon! (not to mention Mubs for gracing me this position I've been lowkey vying for, lol!)

Despite my loss against Jamez in one heck of a series - can't complain with some of those luck-induced elements into play - I would also like to thank most especially superstrike66 as he is one of the greatest cheerleaders I have on my side since day one. I really can't thank you enough for being the most morally supportive amidst the abrasiveness of some of the members in the 1v1 Community; you surely made me keep going. Anyway, congratulations on your huge win, Jamez, and I am looking forward to battling you again sooner or later.

Hogg, teal6, Christo, r0ady, vivalospride, LRXC, everyone: it's been quite a while since I last see you go as far as going into the Tournaments scene, but here I am, making it this far in different metagames. Hope our paths cross again sooner or later!
