Battle of the Week - First Season
Battle of the Week Welcome to the Battle of the Week! Battle of the Week Page Smog Article #1 Smog Article #2 Smog Article #3 The Battle of the Week is a program designed to allow the users of Smogon to pick and choose which battles they want to see. If you've been unable to watch battles between top players because they choose to play on a deserted server or at the wrong times, this is your chance to watch a battle between the top players as it is played. If you still can't be on, you will still get to watch the battlers go head to head at a later date by watching it on the Smogon YouTube Channel, because all battles in this program will be recorded and uploaded there. Additionally, The Smog plans to deliver relevant, insightful, and interesting information about the battle and the battlers themselves.

entertaining season and a great addition to smogon.
very well done to ew/loco and everyone involved with botw! |
Yeah. I've got to say that this got a lot of attention. Though, as something of note: can one user battle twice in one season?
|
Wow Pananana and Attibot was a sick match! Good job guys. I still need to read the other logs though...

I think it would be interesting to watch the more experienced battlers to face multiple people, just to get an idea of their consistency.

I just mainly think it would be cool to watch them against multiple people, instead of one match every season.
|
It wouldn't be interesting at all seeing EW do 6 matches in a row lol. It's far more interesting if everyone gets a chance to show other users what they have. Some matches will be close, other matches will have team advantages. But making 6 very good teams wouldn't be fun either for the person who would be facing multiple opponents. Because if he uses the same team, you can simply counter team. So it's just even more pressure.
|
I didn't mean that many matches, I just meant like 2 would be cool to watch, especially from my favorite players. Sorry for not being more clear.

Hey, for anyone with "Battle of The Week" fever,
myself and panamaxis have agreed to a best of 3, OU style for the quarterfinals of the Superstar tournament...so if anyone want to see some potentially uber-quality games it'll be at 7-7:30 Tuesday EST. But also, I'd like to say that I felt BoTw could've done much more with its potential. Here were some ideas for fantasy matchups I would've liked to see that people should consider when voting: goofball vs Loki - any format (maybe even 4 gen if they both got up for it), with two-time trophy winners and 2 of the best players of ALL-TIME going head-to-head. Now that's what I call a "Battle of the Week". Earthworm vs Gouki and/or DarkLucario - best of 3, Smogon Tour style with UU, OU, and Ubers, a showdown between the winners of the Tour for bragging rights. What's not to like? If possible, I'd go back farther into previous gens for some interesting matchups: the 123-0 cloud vs Celia in his/her prime for GSC, Hipmonlee vs JMC for potentially the RBY #1 player, etc. |
I second Vil's ideas, those all sound really interesting. (Particularly the previous gen match ups)

Everything is now in the OP, and the first season has officially come to a close. You can look forward to a final article in The Smog Issue 7, which will also be added to the OP. It has been a fun season and I hope everyone has enjoyed watching all of the battles! You should all be seeing another season sometime this year.
|
Thanks for all your work guys. This season produced many fun battles to watch.

I've updated the OP with Smog Article #3, and I'll lock this thread after a few days. Any feedback or suggestions for the next season is definitely welcome and encouraged on any aspect of the BotW, including the articles and the program in general.
