Tournament of Second Chances - Round 7

Status
Not open for further replies.
You feelin' lucky, punk? Well, unfortunately for you, you're going to need a lot more than luck to win this tournament. The Tournament of Second Chances is designed to promote skill above all else as the deciding factor on who wins. If you think the only thing preventing you from winning a major tournament is your bad luck, then now's your chance to prove it.

Standard Rules (as defined in this thread):

  • Singles
  • 6v6
  • 4th Generation
  • No Ubers
  • Species Clause
  • Sleep Clause
  • Evasion Clause
  • OHKO Clause
  • Self-KO Clause
  • Battle Timeout
Non-Standard Rules:

  • Each player must submit up to 5 teams before the tournament starts
    • You can only use one of these 5 teams in every match for this entire tournament.
    • You cannot change any part of any of these teams at any time throughout the tournament.
    • If you do not have 5 teams to submit, you are allowed to enter with less, but just note that you will not be allowed to submit more teams later on in the tournament. In other words, you will be restricting yourself to however many teams you initially submit.
  • Best of 3 Matches
    • Only the loser may switch teams for the next match.
  • Double Elimination
  • All logs must be saved and turned in to verify that both players used an exact team from their team bank. If you cannot provide a log, you will be asked to do a rematch. This obviously makes it the winner's responsibility if they want their win to be counted! DON'T FORGET TO DO THIS!!!
Rounds will last one week apiece with the possible exception of Round 1 lasting two weeks due to the sheer volume of people. I will be very strict on round deadlines, because needing to build a team is not an issue for this tournament. I encourage everybody to post when they are active and ready to play so that I can gauge activity at the end of the round. Otherwise, unfinished match advancements will be decided on coin tosses.

That being said, may you all have neutral luck, and may the best player win!

~ Philip7086

I cannot stress enough these two factors:

  • SAVE YOUR LOGS!!!! The onus is on you, winners, to save it, but if your opponent does, good. Just don't take that risk.
  • If you win a game, you must use the same team as before. A bunch of people have been put in losers bracket when they won the round because they broke the team rules.
Since I ended this round early, Ace Matador and wilson46 have an extension until the end of Sunday the 19th in PST. And due to holidays, we have slightly lengthened the deadline of this round so that it does not coincide with Christmas celebrations, but I encourage you to do your matches as soon as possible, because without team-building, the only factor is arranging a match. And the sooner these six battles are done, the sooner we can move onto the next round. :)

Winners Bracket - Submit your logs to Philip7086

Any of these matches could easily go either way, though. Except for me and Jabba, which is obviously quite lopsided.

So I saw am on irc and waited/messaged him for an hour. apparently he was busy (not his fault, more of timezones), and I've got to go out for 2 hrs. hopefully he can still play by then.

Got brutally haxed and lost. Oh well, gg I guess.

Edit: Early crit, early flinch, early miss. Oh well, whatever (and yes I did have a team to win).

I didn't but when you fucked up I clearly had.

6A9 Ace Matador

veni, vidi, vici, VERSACE, VERSACE VERSACE
confirming below post, ggs and thanks!

also anyone got any tips on how to beat insomnia????????????
 
Won battle 1 vs am, lost in battle 2, and he wants to do the last tomorrow cause he has to go sleep.

edit: lost to am in game 3, ggs and gl.
 
lost the first game he got some hax that maybe mattered but probably didnt
won the second game through a ton of hax
somehow choked away the third game when i had it for sure
oh well, ggs
 
I won the first game and he disconnected midway through the second in what was turning out to be a pretty interesting game. I think I had a slight advantage so unless IB93 disagrees and wants to do a replay of some sort I will take the win. ggs!
