PM me if you have any further questions

Round 1 Pairings:

~ Both players should save the log but the winner of the battle should send it to me via PM. As I have said, this is to ensure that people use legitimate Pokemon as well as for collecting usages. For this reason, I'd ask the winner to write down their 6 pokemon as they may not reveal all of them in battle.

~ PM your opponent as soon as you receive the brackets, this will be used as an indicator of activity should you not complete your matches by the deadline, obviously an extension may be granted for those who genuinely have tried to get their match done but I will DQ anyone or sub them if they are clearly not active during the period.

~ I am only human, please tell me of any mistakes I may have made in the brackets

I'll try to get my match done when my team is ready.
 
Stand out battles for me:

Dragonite24 vs Vader
Both guys who play a lot of LC but I think d24 is a bit more fresh at the moment, so I predict he'll edge it.

eric the espeon vs reachzero
reachzero is a good battler but I reckon eric's knowledge and voodoo powers will see him through.

Elevator Music vs SoT
Both good battlers but I think EM has more previous experience + has been playing a bit recently so he'll win this IMO.

lol naturally I draw Beej in the CAP tournament, then Eric the Espeon in the Little Cup tournament. The bracket machine has a strange sense of humor....
 
I've never fought cyber, this will be interesting. Although many people think I'd lose, hehe. I'm always on Doug's server, and so is cyber, so it won't be hard to get in touch.
 
Personally I dont know who Malfunction is or why hes favored to beat me, but maybe its just cause Im newer on the forums. Dont use my newness against me. Ive had Shoddy Battle for awhile and get multiple LC battles every day.
 

Altair

just who is the coon?
PM sent.

Highlight matches:

Elevator music v. SoT - Called it :D- Two CaP regulars and great battlers who both have LC experience, so this should be good. I think SoT has a slight edge in this though.

eric the espeon v. reachzero - The LCF Admin against a great battler in general, but eric's LC experience allows him to advance.

squirtleboy12 v. Beef 2.0 - I've faced Beef many times on ladder, he is quite good. Not sure on sb12's battling ability, but he is on the LCF, so hopefully he can give Beef a challenge.

Fuzznip v. Cyberzero - A lot of people are picking Cyber in this, but Fuzznip is very potent at LC and can easily make a run in this tourney.

EDIT: Someone pick LV so I'm not a complete favorite <_>.
 
Alright, battle is going to commence immediately. I'm probably not as good at LC as Fuzz, but it should be interesting!
 

eric the espeon

maybe I just misunderstood

Don't know (either I don't know both players, or don;t know their LC ability):
Olie vs panamaxis
Malfunction vs zach the great Played Zach a few times today, he seems just about competent and is improving. Don't know Malfunction well, though the name rings bells..
Imran vs UsainBolt
locopoke vs Stathakis
OGBaLLiN vs Veedrock
mikeeeey vs DarkLucario
X-SandStreamer-X vs rewindman
Sapientia vs Mizuno

Somewhat sure about:
Most are because I have not heard of one and know the other is (or was) decent at LC or good generally.
SilentEcho vs Lunar Fang
snorlax vs Bender
polelover44 vs Chris is me
Leviathan207 vs ReyScarface
Battlulz vs TehPiplupMan
alive vs Fenix
Gaborik vs matty
dragonites vs Phish_Stix

Snorlax14 vs Son_of_Shadoo
Katherine vs yohenry12
Huntofthelion vs bobtheball4
Diploman vs Thorns
latios315 vs -_-
fresh to death vs Kharozz

Will be interesting:
Dragonite24 vs Vader
Vader could pull this one off, but he has not been playing that much for a little while and D24 is good.
cyberzero vs Fuzznip
Good general skills Vs LC experence.. guessing c0.
jrrrrrrr vs Lady Bug
Depends on who practices LC more, both could win.
Squirtleboy12 vs Beef 2.0
Two veterans of LC who have not played much for a while, Beef probably more recently though so going with him.
Mr. Happy vs Psykout22
Mr. Happy! You're still alive! But predicting Psyhout, he has played recently.
JabbaTheGriffin vs Hybrid99
See C0 Vs Fuzz.
Elevator Music vs SoT
this will be fun to watch, EM may claim to hate the meta but he is compident.. SoT is good too. One to watch.
eric the espeon vs reachzero
Oh great. just who I wanted in R1 >_>. I have no idea how good you are...
Good Luck. Or rarther, lack of luck be it positive or negative.

Edit: Sent PM. Also if you are new to LC check out my Guide to getting started in LC.
 
Defeated cyberzero 2-0. Extremely haxy, critted my pokemon 3 times in a row, but then got a lucky freeze making me win. ;D

Good luck everyone!
 
Spotlight matches:

Dragonite24 vs Vader

Dragonite24 is more new to LC, but is more familiar with the metagame than Vader, who is also a LC regular and quite good. This will be an interesting match regardless, though.

squirtleboy12 vs Beef 2.0

squirtleboy12 is an older LC veteran, and Beef is one of the new, better, players. This will be an interesting match, though my money is on Beef, even if squirtleboy12 catches up with the metagame.

Mr. Happy vs Psykout22

Like before, Mr. Happy is a LC veteran, but Psykout22 is a new threat. Psykout is also known for his interesting sets. This will be a neat battle...

Elevator Music vs SoT

Eh, this is EM's, but SoT could be a threat if he learns the metagame fast enough.

cyberzero: I BLAME ADDIE

hahahahahahaha
 
Snorlax14, eh... Yeah, never heard of him. Then again, I haven't heard of most of these people. Eric, Katherine, thanks for backing me. I should probably PM this guy...
 
Significant matches, or ones that I can guess:

Dragonite24 vs Vader - Vader has xp, but d24 is fresher and more active
cyberzero vs Fuzznip - Fuzznip seems to be good
polelover44 vs Chris is me - is a mod on lcf
Leviathan207 vs ReyScarface - seen him on LC ladder
HeYsUp vs Bad Ass - GL
squirtleboy12 vs Beef 2.0 - Beef is really good
Mr. Happy vs Psykout22 - seen on LC ladder
eric the espeon vs reachzero - leader of LCF
Katherine vs yohenry12 - Addie has good grammar
Elevator Music vs SoT - EM is decent at LC atm
Huntofthelion vs bobtheball4 - seen bob on the LC Ladder
latios315 vs -_- - seen -_- on LC ladder.

Won 2-0. GG, Dragonite24.

EDIT:

polelover44 vs Chris is me - Dunno who polelover is, but Chris was a good player back in the day.
Leviathan207 vs ReyScarface - Tutored Lev. I expect him to win.
HeYsUp vs Bad Ass - Heysup is good and has the patience to ladder.
squirtleboy12 vs Beef 2.0 - sb is the only player that can beat me 9/10 times.
Mr. Happy vs Psykout22 - Mr. Happy's a vet, but Psykout's pretty good. I'm guessing Mr. Happy will win.
eric the espeon vs reachzero - eric is the second best LC player after Dixie.
Katherine vs yohenry12 - Addie's a tutor on LCF. She'd better win.
Elevator Music vs SoT - Absolutely no idea.
Huntofthelion vs bobtheball4 - I like bob and don't know huntofthelion.
latios315 vs -_- - -_- has been on LCF for a while, so I'm banking on him/her.
 

Altair

just who is the coon?
Confirming (Although a bit late). GG Vader.

I lost since I made an easily avoidable mistake by leaving Bronzor in against something it should never stay in against.=/
