Game 2

I know that I could have easily had game 1 without the shenanigans, but I realize I need to be playing a bit better to secure the win for myself.
Turn 1: He leads cress/thundy again, and I know I need to gtfo, since this matchup is not good for me, double switch zapdos to shroom and gallade to tar, as tbolt does like nothing and psyshock does liberality nothing.
Turn 2: I don't want to overpredict, so I just go for the spore and rock gem rock slide, as he taunts shroom, and rock slide kills thundy and does half to scizor.
Turn 3: He sends in cress to replace thundurus. I know that scizor can do a lot to ttar with anything, and deciding to play it safe, I double switch again, shroom into gallade, ttar into zapdos as psyshock does a good deal of damage to gallade and bug bite does nothing to zapdos.
Turn 4: me going for the heat wave here is super duper obvious, and he knows it, and basing off of that, I decide to go for the roost to heal myself up and make sure that zapdos is safe for the rest of the game as he ice beams and I set up trick room with my banded gallade, just to fuck with his garchomp once it comes out.
Turn 5: He's afraid of the heat wave, so he sends scizor back to garchomp, as I send gallade back to shroom and zapdos to tar, marking the 3rd double switch of the game. Psyshock does a bunch to shroom, which I manage to tank with 29 hp, and sitrus brings me back to a less stupid amount.
Turn 6: he switches cress out, knowing that with all of that life orb recoil ttar will be able to kill it into scizor, as I go for the safe crunch on scizor, doing 25%, as his garchomp protects and blocks my spore.
Turn 7: I know that he can kill shroom with the gem bullet punch, as well as doing a massive amount to tar, so I switch tar into zapdos, as he bullet punches my shroom, killing it, as he goes for the eq and kills his own scizor.
Turn 8: It's ttar and zapdos vs cress/chomp with tric room still up. Crunch kills cress easily, hp ice @ chomp does 70% with yache berry blocking most of the damage as I manage to tank a rock slide with 23 hp on zapdos as trick room wears out.
Turn 9: he rock slide kos zapdos, as my crunch tanks out his chomp.

game 3

I have a good feeling that he won't risk changing anything up, and will use the same pokemon again, in the same order, which he does.
Turn 1: Zapdos/Ttar s Cresselia/Thundy
I know I need to roost here, as he's probably just going to double attack zapdos, which he does. Tbolt paralyzes me, which stings, then it full paralyzes me when I try to roost off the damage, and ice beam does a lot, making me live with only a bit of hp, as rock slide kos thundy and does 35% to cress
Turn 2: Chomp/Cress vs Zapdos/Ttar
I know that zapdos is dead meat, and foddering it is the best move at this point. he goes for the eq and the icy wind, yes I Can confirm that he does have two ice moves on cress, as I let zapdos die and protect tar.
Turn 3: I send in shroom to replace zapdos, feeling alright about its status in the game now that thundurus is dead, as I can crunch to kill cress and spore garchomp, then clean up easily with the rest of the team. He earthquakes, which tar tanks with 63 hp, and he ice beams ttar bringin me down to 21 hp. I spore chomp... and it misses. well fuck me, my games in jeopardy now. I know that the crunch is obvious on cress, and decide to fire blast instead, predicting a scizor switch in, but it doesn't matter as sand life orb recoil and the fire blast end up killing it. I ask kamz if he's magical this turn, what with this and the tbolt stuff earlier itg, he says no.
Turn 4: I'm a bit peeved at the games status, as my guaranteed victory is now gone. he goes for the rock slide with chomp, which avoids shroom and kills ttar, I would normally be happy for an avoid but that would have given me sitrus berry and more hp. Im able to tank the bug bite with 16 hp left, thanking the powers that be that I got this game, with the ability to kill chomp with close combat as I rage powder the bullet punch, then kill scizor with cc, since I can tank the bullet punch at -1 without steel gem, then spore misses chomp again. I ask kamz if he's magical again, he says yes. It's easy for him to finish off gallade and shroom at that point, and that's gg.

was a bit peeved at what happened game 3, knowing that I would have to win 2/3 of the rest of my games to make top cut as opposed to being guaranteed, but I ended up seeding 2nd so w/e

Um that means you lied to me. I had asked you to throw it out in which you responded "The Judges make me". I asked you once again 10 minutes later if you had thrown it out and you responded with yes. So how do you have the matches?
