GGs to cbrevan. A very close set of games that went down to the wire. Further comments below if people want to avoid spoilers, I suppose.

The first and second battles were, in my humble opinion, both decided in Turn One. In the first, I make a predict against his Mega-Altaria that absolutely swings the tide of the match, freeing up my Tomo to do its business as a wall and shut down his various sweepers. From there, it's very difficult for him to gain any footing to mount a comeback, and is slowly worn down by various bulky sweepers on my team. In the second, CBRevan catches me on the first turn with Gothitelle, eliminating my Mega and giving me no response to Zapdos, who proceeds to wall me to heck and back in concert with Goth, who picks off my sweepers at its leisure.
The third battle is a bit of a mirror match, though the main difference between our two teams (our choice in Sylveon sets) ends up being a key factor. Or so it would seem. In the end, there's a bit of hax - sadly my luck simply ran out. GGs,
