Shaking Up RU: Round 2 o.o

***Jellicent**** · Aug 26th, 2012, 6:46:52 PM

Shaking up RU

One of the coolest aspects about playing the lower tiers is how they change every few months. Pokemon move up and down the tiers, shaking up the metagames and testing the players' abilities to adapt. This tournament will take this test to the next level for RU players, forcing them to constantly adjust each round as something either moves up from RU or down from UU/BL2.

Rules and Clauses

Round 1

Round 2: Standard RU, but Sceptile is now banned. Also, Froslass remains legal from last round. You have 10 days to get your battles done! Good luck, everyone ^.^

Round 2 Pairings:

B-lulz vs Eustatic
AuraRayquaza vs ~~Shining Latios~~
-PkmTrainerBlue- vs Brap
Akumetsu vs Chacal
Dracule Mihawk vs Gone to the beach

I coin flipped it because I saw no activity on either end, sans you posting "Activity", but with no evidence backing it up (a simple "we've been PMing", "scheduled something on IRC", or just actually VMing him, would've clarified things a lot for me).

As I said, I just went with the coin flip, and he won. Sorry mate :/

xThunderBirdx · Aug 28th, 2012, 2:10:58 PM

I have send him a private message, lol...
And i posted 2 activity posts, http://www.smogon.com/forums/showpos...2&postcount=70 and http://www.smogon.com/forums/showpos...&postcount=107...

Brap · Aug 28th, 2012, 3:23:45 PM

I've sent a VM to Pokemon trainer Bloo

***Jellicent**** · Aug 28th, 2012, 5:00:22 PM

Alright, T-Bird, I've switched you in against Andeby instead. Please schedule your match through VM rather than PM, so I can actually see the activity.

Felix, if you have something to add to the matter, please PM about it.

Best of one, single-elimination Standard RU - Singles The banlist for this tournament will be the Smogon University RU banlist, with an exception: each round, either something from RU will be banned, or something from UU/BL2 will be made legal. These changes are cumulative. Should the banlist change while the tournament is running, the banlist at the time of the start of the round will be used for that round.
