Incomplete matches

polelover44 vs Chris is me (coin fli)p
Malfunction vs zach the great (coin flip)
jrrrrrrr vs Lady Bug (cf)
Battlulz vs TehPiplupMan (cf)
alive vs Fenix (cf)
X-SandStreamer-X vs rewindman (DQ)
fresh to death vs Kharozz (cf)

The following people must PM me within 2 days or will be subbed out, due to questionable activity last round: Fenix and rewindman

Round 2 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

tallentire vs (polelover44 vs Chris is me) Chris was good, but tall has beaten me a few times recently. I think he could go far.
Fenix vs panamaxis going with the better known name
Mr. Happy vs Mizuno Mr. Happy is back and ready to win this thing.
UsainBolt vs bobtheball4 not seen Usain play much
SilentEcho vs HeYsUp HeY is not to be underestimated.
Thorns vs Hybrid99 Could go either way, but I think Hy could go giantkilling.
Veedrock vs Snorlax14 mm.. Veed is a good battler, and Snorlax (aka GK) has been playing LC for a while longer. it should be a good match, but predicting Veed.
Vader vs Kharozz gogo LV
Gaborik vs Fuzznip
Katherine vs SoT Another great match. could go either way.
Battlulz vs dragonites guessing here
Stathakis vs Twash both well known people, don't know much about eithers LC experence though so its a guess.

Gaborik vs Fuzznip - Fuzznip is good at LC.
Katherine vs SoT - WHO IS THIS PERSON SERIOUSLY
Battlulz vs dragonites - Experience.

ReyScarface vs DarkLucario - He won, but whatever, he's good at LC.

Also note that if you need a good team really fast, you can go here and download and look at teams. There's a offensive team, a balanced "beginner" team, and a stall team.

100% predicted win.. aaaaa the pressure...

Also, SBC do you think you could avoid counting teams directly from the team archive to avoid having stats massively unbalanced in favor of the Pokemon in them? Maybe ask people to tell you so you don't have to check each one?

Fenix vs panamaxis- Good at OU, don't know about LC.
Mr. Happy vs Mizuno- LC LEGEND!
UsainBolt vs bobtheball4- Good at LC.

Gaborik vs Fuzznip - Good at LC.
Katherine vs SoT - Better than SoT! hahahaha
Battlulz vs dragonites - Very Skilled
Stathakis vs Twash - hmmm not too sure about this =/ Both good at OU.

Won to an epic battle against Gaborik. Here's the last few rounds of what actually happened.

It was our last two Pokemon. My Diglett was up against a scarfed Elekid. Sucker Punch didn't get the OHKO, but Elekid's Hidden Power OHKOed Diglett. My last bet was Munchlax. He switched out to Omanyte so he can Cross Chop when he comes back in. Omanyte dies to EQ. Elekid comes in. Goes for the Cross Chop, but misses.

Good game.

Predictions is hard, since I don't know how ppl are at LC.

tallentire vs Chris is me - I never tire of his tal(l)ent. (Chris to beat polelover44)

Fenix vs panamaxis - Good Luck

Mr. Happy vs Mizuno - I would be unhappy if he lost.

UsainBolt vs bobtheball4 - Usain is insane.

SilentEcho vs HeYsUp - Hey, he's moving up in this tournament

Thorns vs Hybrid99 - It will be a thorn in my side if an aussie goes down.

Veedrock vs Snorlax14 - Veed rocks!

Vader vs Kharozz - Vader is pretty powerful in starwars.

Gaborik vs Fuzznip - Fuzz is nipping at the title of the winner.

Katherinevs SoT - Dammit, I can't make a pun out of you name, but having a + after your name makes you better at everything right?

Battlulz vs dragonites - He will win the battle, lulz.

Stathakis vs Twash - Twash is trash (Jk, twash is awesome and I wouldn't be suprised if he takes it).

Malfunction vs rewindman - The only way he can lose is if shoddy malfunctions.

ReyScarface vs DarkLucario - Rey intimidates with the scar on his face.

Beef 2.0 vs latios315 - Beef 2(.0) win it.

Lady Bug vs eric the espeon - Eric will squash his opponent like a lady bug.

I'll drop fawkes a PM soon.
 
tallentire vs (polelover44 vs Chris is me) - GL.
Fenix vs panamaxis - Panamaxis is quite skilled.
Mr. Happy vs Mizuno - Never played him myself but has a reputation. Edit: just realised he was hellmonkey, then he should take this.
UsainBolt vs bobtheball4 - The better LC'er.
SilentEcho vs HeYsUp - Close match but HeYsUp is good enough to take this.
Thorns vs Hybrid99 - Never played him personally but i've heard he's good.
Veedrock vs Snorlax14 - GK should take this.
Vader vs Kharozz - I believe Vader is one of the best.
Gaborik vs Fuzznip - Just a guess
Katherine vs SoT - Tough one, but Addie is very good
Battlulz vs dragonites - Just a guess.
Stathakis vs Twash - No idea.
Malfunction vs rewindman - Another guess.
ReyScarface vs DarkLucario - Good player, defeated leviathan in round one.
Beef 2.0 vs latios315 - Beef will take the tourny.
Lady Bug vs eric the espeon - He made the LCF and basically taught me everything I know about LC.
