ASB Battle Factory Tournament - Round 2 (EM is in charge now/updated OP/STRICT DQ/2 subrefs needed)

Tournament referees, please find your matchup below and post the thread when possible. Pull the team from the tournament Prize Claim thread, please.

To start the battle, you will use a coin flip to determine who sends out their Pokemon first. Turn order goes by the norm after that.

Battle rules are as followed

Switch = OK
Items: ON
Abilities: ONE
Arena: ASB Tournament Arena
Unlimited Chills/Recoveries
Two substitutions
Two day DQ on actions, three day DQ on ref.

Tournament rules:
- Tournament will be 3v3 singles.
- Pokemon will earn 6 MC in between battles.
- Abilities and evolutions are locked for the entire tournament for all rental Pokemon.
- Pokemon will be randomly given out in groups of six to each trainer, with repeats omitted and replaced.
- For round one you are to choose three out of the initial six you are given. The three you do not choose will be discarded, and you will be unable to use them for the remainder of the tournament.
- Items will be randomly given out in groups of ten to each trainer, with repeats omitted and replaced.
- Items and Pokemon will be from a pre-determined pool.
- Upon winning any round a trainer may swap one of their current Pokemon for one of their defeated opponent's current Pokemon.
- Consumable items will be replenished throughout the tournament.
- Held items will be swapped along with Pokemon. If your Pokemon has no held item, none will be forfeited.
- For prizes for second and third places, they may choose from the team they lost their battle with. Swapped Pokemon from their final battle are not included in prize choice.

[box]waterwarrior
Arcanite

Referee: Pwnemon[/box]

This one will end up with a single mistake splitting the match most likely, although ww's team that practically mirrors my own should be able to recover faster.

[box]Frosty
Glacier Knight

Referee: UllarWarlord[/box]

Team Sub-Zero have a clear leader in their ranks, and for a good reason.

[box]Leethoof
SubwayJ

Referee: Frosty[/box]

Leet's lack of Ice Attacks leaves him with a lacklustre team here.

Also I want my Gliscor dangit D:<

[box]Maxim
Deck Knight

Referee: King Serperior[/box]

Depends heavily on whether or not Serperior can stack boosts fast enough to break stall.

[box]LupusAter
Texas Coverleaf

Referee: The Wanderer[/box]

Tomohawk fight! Will be sad to see a Tomohawk leave the contest, but the teams are reasonably balanced. Texas to edge it out.

[box]Complications
TheWolfe

Referee: Its_A_Random[/box]

Who ordered the hardest match to call? It's right here, but from experience Wolfe's a smarter battler.

[box]smashlloyd20
Pwnemon

Referee: Geodude6[/box]

If not by inactivity by the better player.

[box]Its_A_Random
Gerard

Referee: Ragnarokalex[/box]

If it was doubles or triples I'd say Gerard, but in singles IAR's a smidgen ahead in terms of ability.

[box]The Wanderer
King Serperior

Referee: deadfox081[/box]

Wanderer's more skilled here.

[box]Someoneelse
Yarnus of Bethany

Referee: Zarator[/box]

Not a strong difference in skill, but Mr. Mime will be out of service be both Banette and Zoroark here - going to be hard to bring it in with illusion around.

[box]SimonSays
akela

Referee: Someoneelse[/box]

Scyther should decimate Simon's team.

[box]yoshinite
deadfox081

Referee: akela[/box]

Deadfox is a skilled player, which will be shown I'm sure.

[box]EspyOwner
DFrog

Referee: Texas Cloverleaf[/box]

Whilst Gastrodon and Castform together are stupidly good walls to rain, I doubt that missy can make up for a lacking offensive presence.

[box]Ragnarokalex
ZhengTann

Referee: yoshinite[/box]

Switch control galore - Camerupt is a weak link here, and I think it'll be Ralex's downfall.

[box]C$FP
inanimate blob

Referee: LouisCyphre[/box]

Close one teamwise if you ask me, my money's on C$FP being a tiny bit out of practice.

[box]Dogfish44
Elevator Music

Referee: EspyOwner[/box]

Fuck me with a barge pole. I mean, good luck ^_^'


Good Luck all!
 
I'll post my predictions when I get home.

TEAM SUB-ZERO BATTLE

waterwarrior
Arcanite

WW has the type advantage, and probably a bit more skill than arcanite (the latter is a tad rusty, methinks).
_________

Frosty
Glacier Knight

You know, everyone said EM would kick my ass in the HLM.... and they were right. But this time is different. Frosty's a great bro, but I'm putting my all into this. Gonna give it all I got and if things work out, There will be some disappointed speculation (because all yall fuckers picked him over me). I broke my "First round fail" curse, and I don't wanna stop there.
_________

Leethoof
SubwayJ


_________

Maxim
Deck Knight

I didnt have faith that DK still had it in him last round. Dare i give it now? Maxim has Serperior yes, but If DK plays his cards right he can get off his winning phazing tactics. And maxim wasn't playing too good last round... however, if Maxim utlizes Serperior and doesnt lose it early off, I say he could upset my prediction.
_________

LupusAter
Texas Coverleaf

Lupus is gonna lose due to DQing. calling it.
_________

Complications
TheWolfe

Sorry complications, Wolfe is a better battler.
_________

smashlloyd20
Pwnemon

Pwnemon wins by DQ, calling it.
_________

Its_A_Random
Gerard

IAR's team has good synergy, and has phazing prowess. Gerard is a great battler, but really truly shines in doubles. I have to give this to IAR.

waterwarrior vs Arcanite

Waterwarrior for the sole reason that he is playing more often lately. But it can go either way easily.

Frosty vs Glacier Knight


(just won't say which member...also good luck and have fun!)

Leethoof vs SubwayJ

I believe as a trainer Leethoof is a bit better. But Subway has, IMO, a too big team advantage.

Maxim vs Deck_Knight

Serperior hits all three SE. 'nuff said <_<;. As long as Maxim doesn't play like crap, he should be somewhat fine. somewhat.

LupusAter vs Texas Cloverleaf

Ignoring for now that Lupus is MIA (where are youuuu~?), this will be close. Texas has that super useful exeggutor and is a tad better, so my money is on him

Complications vs The Wolfe

It will rely on who can use their MVP (galvantula vs scrafty) best. Wolfe is a great player and underrated so I'll bet on him.

smashlloyd20 vs Pwnemon

close one. But I think pwnemon will get this...barely.

Its_A_Random vs Gerard

ooohhhh this is the match to watch this round. IAR's team has a little advantage, but I won't dare to guess here.

Someoneelse vs Yarnus of Bethany

Close call, but I think mime is too fucked in this matchup.

SimonSays vs akela

Scytheeer!

yoshinite vs deadfox81

teams are eh, deadfox is a better player IMO.

EspyOwner vs DFrog

Some team cohesion goes a long way

Ragnarokalex vs Zheng Tann

While zweilous will be a pain, I think ralex will come through.

C$FP vs inanimate blob

assuming he didn't forget stuff of course.

Puppylover44 vs Elevator_Music

Also a terrific battle to watch. My bet is on Emma for a couple reasons:

1) Emma has 2 pokemon good against 2 of DF and 1 good against one. DF's matchups aren't as good

2) DF's items suck haha.

skill is about even, teams are about even, ww uses irc (YOU MIGHT NEED A RAWST BERRY, WW)
_________

Frosty
Glacier Knight

frosty is tenfold the better battler of the sub-zeros
_________

Leethoof
SubwayJ

leethoof got really good at battling sometime but his team ain't up to snuff
_________

Maxim
Deck Knight

lol serp
_________

LupusAter
Texas Cloverleaf

skills are about even, but lupus has a bad team matchup
_________

Complications
TheWolfe

i said this was the match to watch and i wasn't lying. Team matchups are pretty even, but slightly in favor of comp. Wolfe is a solid battler, though, the better of the two. In the end, I had to go with Comp because he's my bro.

yarnus is the better battler, i'm too lazy to check teams

bad team matchup for simon is gonna take its toll.
_________

yoshinite

lol
_________

EspyOwner
DFrog

DFrog's team is as close as you're gonna get to a rain counter team. It's a shame that his rain counters are, well, bad Pokemon.
_________

Ragnarokalex
ZhengTann

"but pwne, alex has a bad matchup!" <- o ye of little faith, alex is a kick-ass battler
_________

C$FP
inanimate blob

I don't give a crap how rusty he is, C$FP was one of the best battlers back when he played. He can't have decayed /that/ far.
_________

Dogfish44
Elevator Music

emma is my homeboy. But this will be a close one.
 
Yo, if you wanted to be a ref for this round, maybe you should have posted in the ref signup thread like I've told people multiple times to do. 9.9

And I apologize for giving people reffings that did not want them, I honestly ran out of refs completely.
 
aha come at me ZT, lets not dissapoint the crowd.

Also IAR and Gerard, can you guys do me a favor and PM me your teams? computers being funky today.

Ralex friggin' replaced his Camerupt with an Alakazam. Now my Swamprent can't just walk in and start pleasing the crowd. Wonderful.

waterwarrior
Arcanite

Arcanite has, uh, IRL issues, which might hamper his concentration. ww on the other hand, has more recent experiences.
_________

Frosty
Glacier Knight

Don't underestimate Glace, though. This derby would be a good watch.
_________

Leethoof
SubwayJ

I'm not worrying about skill, I'm worrying about Leet's connection problems.
_________

Maxim
Deck Knight

I'm talking skill here. Deck is slow, but I know for a fact that Maxim is just as slow.
_________

LupusAter
Texas Cloverleaf

Another decent watch here. Gonna be close.
_________

Complications
TheWolfe

Wolfe is slightly more up to shape.
_________

smashlloyd20
Pwnemon

smash is MIA?
_________

Its_A_Random
Gerard

Probably one of the best must-watch.
_________

The Wanderer
King Serperior

KS is MIA...!
_________

Someoneelse

Well, this might be close...

SimonSays
akela

Simon's team is frail, and he is also slow.
_________

yoshinite
deadfox081

New player versus Raid referee. Need I say more?
_________

EspyOwner
DFrog

Both have been less active, so this one might be a close call.
_________

Ragnarokalex
ZhengTann

This is what you call self-confidence, demonstrated by jas.
_________

C$FP
inanimate blob

Once a GL, always a vet.

Dogfish44
Elevator Music

Another must-watch. EMma wins due to his diverse typing experiences - dogfish is only playing with electricity these days.
 
Woo. I am SO psyched for this next round! Good luck to you Complications and don't feel too down - I think this is going to still be a challenging match all the same. I'm ready to win if you are! >:3

Oh yeah, I'm still here if anyone needs a subref. I was going to be a ref for this round too, but I forgot to post in the thread. D:
