Finally, after countless shitty warstories, a good one. The commentary made me laugh, and the battle was amazing.

Damn good warstory. Nice comments and thought process.

Found this typo, though

I think you mean "Gyarados is his main counter/check to Heatran", but it's a minor thing.

US BEST beats Oceania, good stuff man. You had some great prediction and good comments to go with it and this will probably be archived, if it isn't something is wrong.

And sorry for haxing you the other day man.

Hmm... EW has no trick absorbers.... Wonder how he deals with that. And Breloom could mess him up pretty badly if Gyarados ever goes down. Liked the specially defensive Heatran, though. A good choice with all the Celebis and Shaymins flying around on suspect.

Nice story. I love all the predictions and stuff like that. I hate Focus Blast as well because I always miss with it on my Gengar but the enemy always hits with it (Got swept by an enemy Gengar once which used Focus Blast 3 times and didn't miss).

Earthworm's Stall team is quite unique but I wonder how he would deal with Stallbreaking Gliscor. I guess Gyarados can come in but Gliscor can just Toxic it as it Waterfalls (bound to miss soon due to Sand Veil )and stall with Roost until it Rest then Taunt it.

While I didn't get any of the inside jokes (not even one)

This is the only warstory I've read so far where right from the beginning I thought "Holy shit these guys are pro at pokemon battling." It was absolutely amazing to read the thought processes. Really impressive warstory.
10 trillion/10.

A flawlessly written warstory

Great read, you guys had a very nice match. If it wasn't for that crit, I think EW might have pulled out the win though. xD

Jesus, this was such a great warstory. I really loved the thought processes, especially things like deducing that Heatran had lots of Sp. Def. I don't often think in terms like these, but it's really interesting the way you can (correctly) draw conclusions like that.

Not really... Smart players don't take stupid chances. Simple as that.

It's the stupid ones you gotta watch out for, because you never know when they're going to do something completely unpredictable...
