Rules:
Bring 4, Pick 2 Singles.
You PM 4 pokemons to the ref, but the battle will be 2vs2 singles. You will choose your mons as the battle develop.
ASB Arena
Strict 3-day Disqualification.
You will get a single warning per round. After that, you go over DQ and you're done. Referees please tag the combatants when you have finished your reffing. Players, if you know you're going to be away you better post a Leave of Absence BEFORE you leave, or give a very good reason in case of an emergency.
Strict 4-day Disqualification for Refs. Same rules as above (one warning and then BAM). Also, you can be sure as hell that I will jump in to subref anyone if necessary. Also I reserve the right to DQ a ref under LoA if the respective match is taking way too long.
3 Substitutions.
Turn Order: Coin Flip
2 Recovery/5 Chills per pokemon
All Abilities
All Items
Switch=OK
Mega Clause: 1
PHAZING RULE: If a pokemon is sent back to the pokeball by a phazing move, the trainer (of the pokemon sent back obv.) chooses who will be the replacement
I-HATE-CENTRALIZATION RULE: The three species most used per round from r2 onwards are Banned for the remainder of the tourney. In case of a tie, the species brought the most is banned. If the tie persists then none of the species are banned (and you can't just ban both and be in the 3-mons-banned limit).
For the record, the species banned until now are: Gardevoir, Dragonite and Pyroak.

(check the rules, some stuff changed).

WARNING: You have 5 days to PM the mons to the ref. For Dogfish44 and waterwarrior the countdown will begin when the R2 match is over.
WARNING 2: This round will also have a 2-month strict deadline. For Dogfish44 and waterwarrior the countdown will begin when the R2 match is over.
WARNING 3: If the player don't send in the team before the 5-days deadline, (s)he will be replaced by the losing player from R2 that played the best.
As of now, that player is Texas Cloverleaf due to hax being a bitch with zarator as a close second. If the team is sent and the guy is DQ'd without sending orders, then tough cookies, the opponent advances.

go go go.

Might as well do early predictions.

tavok vs Matezoide
Welp, Zarator fell to smart play. Honestly, I half expect this to end up being tavok vs Texas. That said, ignoring Matezoide would be foolish - he's proven to be incredibly skilled with underrated Pokemon before.​

S0L1D G0LD vs Its_A_Random
Gold needed the hax to beat an equal opponent, I doubt it'll last​

Canis Majoris vs Smashlloyd20
Two upsets here, however I believe Canis will prevail with some of the hard hitters out of play.​

WW or P2X7 vs Dogfish44
Best of luck, whichever of you gets through ^_^​

Mowtom vs Gerard
Probably my only odd call, Mowtom's been consistently proving himself as solid. I still don't rank Gerard's singles skills too highly myself...​

Mulan15262 vs Maxim
Go team raiders!​
 
PreyDickTions...

Tavok vs Matezoide
Very close call... 10% in favor of Tavok that doesn't suffice a prediction but Yolol Mat ~_~​

S0L1D G0LD vs Its_A_Random
IAR clearly has the upper hand here, unless Gold provides yet another miracle.​

Canis Majoris vs Smashlloyd20
Canis has more experience, which would be essential for team building. But an upset can be expected.​

WW or P2X7 vs Dogfish44
Dogfish can take on either of them without any trouble. GO DF GO!​

Mowtom vs Gerard
Mowtom is a good friend, but I think he needs more experience. I could be wrong here, but that would mean that my friend goes into the next round which is way better than any prediction.​

Mulan15262 vs Maxim
I don't believe that I am saying this, but Mulan has become too serious with his battles. I am just going to call an upset here as I feel that momentum is crucial in a tournament and Mulan is full of it. Again if I am proved wrong, I would gladly accept the result as Maxim is a real cool guy.​
 
power predicts go
tavok vs. Matezoide
As much as I love my br bro (and I hope he actually causes the upset here!), tavok has been picking up lately and he's a good contender.

more numbers vs. Its_A_Random
Gold's becoming better, but it's IAR we're talking about. If he plays his cards right Gold has no chances.

Canis Majoris vs. smashlloyd20
Come at me bro.


Dogfish44 vs. whoever
Dogfish may. go. all. the! way! (unless he faces texas prolly)

Mowtom vs. Gerard
On the fence here. On one hand, Gerard is a competent battler (even in singles) and he does manage to surprise us every once in a while. On the other, Mowtom's been collecting upset after upset. I'm not sure who to root for here.

Mulan vs. Maxim
Refraining myself from voicing my opinion here as I'm reffing this match. Some of you know my opinion, though.
 
tavok vs Matezoide
Matezoide is a really good battler, and can use just about anything to good effect. Maxed mons are pretty scary.

Gold vs IAR
Gold won through sheer luck last round :|

Canis vs smash
No comments, I'm the ref

P2 vs DF
WW vs DF
Either way, I think DF will win this, he's very skilled and has loads of experience.

Mowtom vs Gerard
Mowtom's been winning surprisingly often.

Mulan vs Maxim
EBELT GRENINJA WHY. In all seriousness, though, Maxim has far more experience and assuming he doesn't choke horribly, he'll be able to win this easily.

Also, Aromatisse was used just as much as Pyroak last round?
 
tavok vs. Matezoide - Matezoide to DQ
Canis Majoris vs. smashlloyd20 - idk
(waterwarrior vs. P2X7) vs. Dogfish44 - Somebody DQ P2X7 already / dogfish to be upsetted
Mowtom vs. Gerard - Who knows
Mulan15262 vs. Maxim - Maxim to choke
 
So, people predict me to lose vs AOPS, and then predict me to win vs Mat? What's wrong with you all?

Well, anyway, time for some really late predictions before sending mons!

tavok vs Matezoide
Precedent says I'll win. Jokes aside, good luck my friend, and may the luckiest best battler win.

S0L1D G0LD vs Its A Random
Isn't doing as well as he usually does, but hey, still a top player.

Canis Majoris vs smashlloyd20
Just because I can't find smash's pike to DQ him and get my UC.

waterwarrior vs Dogfish44
Sorry ww, but df is way too good. And he haxed Pwne instead of getting haxed R1, so maybe he'll be the lucky one this time around?

Mowtom vs Gerard
So, he shut up everyone who said his singles skills weren't good.

Mulan15262 vs Maxim
Upset! If Maxim doesn't choke, he can win this.
 
tavok vs. Matezoide

Yolol

Gold vs. Its_A_Random

Gold is definetly improving, and will put up a pretty nice match, but IAR has too much experience, especially with full mons.

Canis Majoris vs. smashlloyd20

Canis definetly got heart and enthusiasm on his side, while Smash doesnt seem to care near as much about this. Smash can definetly win if he is properly motivated, but even then, i feel Canis is a better player at the moment.

Dogfish44 vs. Waterwarrior

WW has been innactive lately.

Mowtom vs. Gerard

Mowtom has been collecting upset after upset and Gerard's speciality is Doubles.

Mulan vs. Maxim

Another unpopular opnion. Mulan, atm, has way more gas than Maxim, and seems to be far more determined to actually win this tournament, and although Max has more actual skill and experience, he seems to be more prone for choking.
 
tavok vs Matezoide
Y'all underestimate the power of the yolol.

S0L1D G0LD vs Its_A_Random
IAR is a very solid battler. Let's leave it at that.

Canis Majoris vs Smashlloyd20
smash has less experience with the recent metagame, which this tournament is kind of meant to emulate. Gotta go for canis.

waterwarrior vs Dogfish44
Skill level difference/gut feeling. waterwarrior is good, but df is really good.

Mowtom vs Gerard
I don't know a lot about Mowtom so I'm just going to go with this.

Mulan15262 vs Maxim
I choke. A lot. As does Maxim. But I think he chokes less. It's his match to lose at this point. Betting on an experienced player choking, however often they do, is still not a reliable gambling strategy.
 
tavok vs. Matezoide
Tavok is super underrated

S0L1D G0LD vs. Its_A_Random
IAR really ought to make it to the finals at least

Canis Majoris vs. smashlloyd20
fite me

waterwarrior vs. dogfish44
Fogdish has silenced my doubts, have fun

Mowtom vs. Gerard
Gerard has apparently learned to play singles

Mulan15262 vs. Maxim
Maxim has been incredibly underrated for like the last year and a half and I don't really know why.
 
On a very thrilling (read: haxxy) match, Dogfish44 defeated Waterwarrior. New round will come within the next hour.
