Well it looks like playoff teams are set, so good luck to all who are moving forward. When we finished 27-23 in pools, I was so sure we were going to qualify for playoffs... but then a bunch of surprising act wins and high-variance tiebreaker games later, looks like we're not. I'm a bit sad that our hard-earned differential and zero reliance on act wins somehow did not give us a leg up at all, but I guess that's how this season's tiebreaker rules were set in advance. Thank you to Poat and Bobo for being great managers and the rest of the team for being both amazing players and friends, and making this a great experience despite the results.

and we all know: midwest midBEST forever!

Welcome to the first-ever World Cup of Randbats! We’ve made it through pools and a harrowing set of tiebreakers; it’s time for the playoffs! Which team will rise to glory in this inaugural tournament and be crowned Random Battles World Champions? It’s time to find out!

Standard Tournament Procedures:
Like all other tournaments on Smogon, the World Cup of Randbats will follow the general rules and guidelines. Please read them carefully. Also note that replays are required.
When spectating WCOR battles, do not ghost. What constitutes ghosting in a Random Battles game can be a particularly fine line, so before commenting, always ask yourself: “Would my comment reveal information that hasn’t already been explicitly revealed in this battle?” Examples of ghosting include suggesting that an unexpectedly fast Pokemon must be holding a Choice Scarf, that a Zoroark’s disguised level proves it’s a Zoroark, etc.

NOTE: Pairings have been structured to avoid the need for further tiebreaks, and to ensure teams don’t immediately replay opponents they had during Round 1.

Don't take my predictions too seriously. In fact, I made predictions. Then I RNGed 25% of them to flip because that is the nature of rands matchups. :psysly:

glhf all though and may the best (and luckiest) advance! looking forward to some exciting series
