To get it out of the way now since I left the tour towards semis due to family emergency past few weeks. Want to give a big shoutout to ramolost for drafting me and being understanding of my leave, even allowing me back into the discord if I wanted to, it means a lot. I know it was a gamble to try and pick someone that wasn't part of the usual 6 RBY UU people that play the format in the hopes we somehow manage results no one expected me to get a win out of if played. We figured early on it was a slot we might have to forfeit looking at the pool and I know SBPC hated playing it after first week thus my encouragement to ramolost to slot SBPC in other formats to in an attempt to have as much coverage as possible to make playoffs and win tour. Thankfully I went 3-1 in a tier I never played before and learned from my loss from phoopes never to bother prepping for games for RBY UU cause playing good, fishing for those crits, spamming busted Dug/Tenta, clicking Wrap > building for RBY UU lmao.

Thanks to the team for having me around even if I didn't feel like I was super active admittedly it was during a time period where I wasn't enjoying mons too much even during my games. It was a really rocky start and us being put last in the power rankings was w/e and not really a surprise since most of the team was a question mark besides viva and pif. Our mascot is a bug and power rankings is just something for people to talk about when they're bored no one should ever take those seriously they're conceptually stupid in pokemon lmao. You guys made it to finals which further proves the point power rankings are just for the memes.

A special shoutout to SBPC who supplied me the teams and gave me a crash course on the format. I could've figured stuff out from the replays I watched but having the teams with a solid foundation allowed me to figure stuff out quickly cause honestly most of the games besides the last one I played I was still figuring it all out freestyling (I swear I wasn't just clicking ramo lmfao).

A final shoutout to BigFatMantis for being a great host and handling communication across all the teams where needed. You did a fantastic job and doing so shows there is a place for farm league type tournaments especially with such a large community of people who just want to engage in team tournaments without the emphasis on the usual tour cliques and communities. It'll be tough for a lot to get those opportunities due to not falling in the right social circle or not proven or accepted among specific circles or specific people. Having these kind of tours is a good change of pace from the usual tour stigmas so again great job running the show.

Flapple Bottom Jeans v. Blipbug City Battlegirls
1-2
SS UU: Maki (30) v. pokemonisfun (70) - poor Maki LOL. Sending a non Mainer into SS to face off against pif is like sending in a suit-less Tony Stark against Thanos with two (potentially up to four if pif gets up on the right side of bed that morning) infinity stones in hand to hand combat. I expect this to be an easy win for the Battlegirls.

ORAS UU: Expulso (65) v. vivalospride (35) - viv has not been in form this entire tour even in his home ground of SM, whereas Expulso has been very hot and consistently so throughout the entire tour, displaying a level of comfort with the metagame that very few others in the pool have even sniffed at.

BW UU: Splash (45) v. DnB (55) - Splash is good but hasn’t flashed any ability to play this, and DnB has been good throughout the entire tour with the aid of some good matchups. DnB may be 8-0, but it’s been on the back of some serendipitous winds at some points. I don’t think it’s as clear cut as it seems. With just enough luck in the game and the acquisition of a team that isn’t actually terrible like the ones the others have brought into this slot for the preceding nine weeks, Splash may just have an outside shot of pulling off the upset and taking home the trophy for the worst named team in tournament history.

Doing predicts.

I know being on one of the teams you are making predictions for defeats the purpose, but I have some time to kill since I'm working from home and no one at my job wants to be productive past 3pm apparently.

I'll try and give actual reasoning despite my predictions obviously being biased.


Flapple Bottom Jeans (0) vs. Blipbug City Battlegirls (3)


SS UU: Maki (25) v. pokemonisfun (75)

Pif has both an excellent mind and aptitude for playing the game, and has went above and beyond for supporting our team. I've laddered on competitive Pokémon websites since 2012 and I've fought him on the ladder countless times over the years. Over all of those years, he ranks in the top 5 toughest opponents to beat. Pif's comfort with every team style, consistency, and motivation to win combined with his obvious skill and mind for the game make me strongly favour him.

I am not trying to knock on Maki's skills as a player though. Despite picking up this tier in a relatively short time period, they have proven themselves to be a fast learner, as evident by their positive record. They are a skilled player and with this week's undoubtedly heavy team support they still have a shot. Luck is also unfortunately still a significant factor in this game -- whether that be matchups, damage rolls, critical hits, status, flinches, etc. A combination of Maki being a good player and the inevitable luck with Pokémon make me feel that >75% win probability for Pif is inappropriate.


ORAS UU: Expulso (40) vs. vivalospride (60)

This is going to be a great match. After that unfortunate SM UU game last week, Viv is out for a vengeance. Despite playing mostly SM UU this tournament, Viv has very strong fundamentals as a player and is experienced in ORAS UU. His motivation for a runback, heavy team support, and natural talents as a player will help him pull through in my eyes.

That said, Expulso has proven himself to be extremely dominant in ORAS UU this tournament, which is clear from their excellent record. He also obviously inspires confidence in his team given that the FBJ's picked ORAS UU for their tiebreaker tier of choice. I expect this to be a close game.


BW UU: Splash (15) vs. DnB (85)

This match is fairly straightforward. The FBJ's have not performed well in BW UU most weeks, and DnB currently has the most wins out of any player in the tour while simultaneously being undefeated. DnB is both extremely competent and confident in his ability to build and play for this tier.

I have not seen Splash play BW UU once. He is obviously a skilled player and has good fundamentals, but those can only carry you so far when you do not play a tier regularly. However, as mentioned before, Pokémon is a heavily luck based game with many factors out of your control. Competent play from Splash plus a lot of luck may allow him to pull it off. We'll see.


Looking forward to watching some great games. I hope everyone has fun!
