shhh
for all the better-knowers like dekzeh: I Had 50% every turn to get my miltank healthy, despite the fact that crit under para is like 2% but whatever. i wanted to have the miltank healthy cause reasons. also, the lax versus machamp was just a guessed play (he might also have used rest or curse here) but its not like he can get everytime that 20% crit. combine that the fact that i used like 12 crunch? AND GET NO DROP AS IT SUPPOSED TO DO, its safe to say this game was just bad.
gg ISA.

Leaving Lax in against Machamp was the right play, Picollo, you didn't have anything to switch into Cross Chop (maybe Eggy but HP Bug can KO and Machamp/Eggy speed tie) and you KO if it doesn't crit immediately... Common teambuilding problem with Rest-Bell teams since Raikou doesn't resist Fighting like Zapdos and the cleric doubles up on Snorlax's Fighting weak (triple with Cloyster in there but Forry doesn't do anything to Machamp anyway). At that point, you've got a reasonable chance of winning. Isa switching Machamp in at all was the questionable play but I assume he expected Curse (which gives him two tries) and he didn't have anything else to take on EQ Lax with Gengar and a half-health Steelix as his Normal resists.
Switching Miltank into Zapdos in the first place was a questionable call. You were too focused on getting a Heal Bell off when you didn't need to. Definitely bad luck on paper, but you didn't need to risk Miltank in the first place. All I can assume is that you wanted the PSN off Cloyster for the next time Steelix starts a revolving door of Pokémon, but you were running Spin and a cleric anyway (plus didn't Toxic Isa's when it switched in to trade Spikes at the start) so I would hope you had Rest and shouldn't care much about that. Raikou and Skarm don't need to be awake to wall Zapdos and Snorlax respectively, and Skarm wasn't even asleep.

yeah maybe i was too focused on heal beal, but i was more afraid of his explosion options (gengar, lix) where miltank cant heal that easily.(also hypnosis gengar) also he was also quite lucky with body slam and i was afraid that without a healthy miltank i might fall to para-spam / faster pokemon at all. and yeah, even when i lost miltank i had a quite good chance to win with my own lax but of course it falls to a crit....
well its just pokemon. next time please PO Again, then i might get more crunch drops.

Fakes hasnt responded to my vm
won vs sken. Got a little bit of tough luck in the beginning but then I was saved purely by a crit at the end. GG otherwise, hope to see more of you in SPL bro you definitely deserve to be here.

SPL is one of Smogon's most prestigious tournaments that consistently attract both experienced and new players alike. It frustrates me how some people have turned this landmark into a complete circus. Let's take a timeout to reevaluate our behaviors, and let's give the remaining teams and players who are still competing the respect they rightfully deserve by not spamming this thread with nonsense.
I'll lead by example.
