the fact that grand slam matters to you and money does not is frankly shocking to me
the fact that you not only think the meta will be unchanged six months from now but that your opponents will bother to find replays from february when they are preparing for you in grand slam is downright mindboggling
yes id rather win doubles grand slam then receive $20. yes I think my teams will still be good 6 months down the road. see: some of TFCs teams in ORAS OU made for XY OU.
time it takes to potentially win doubles grand slam: at least 40 minutes for 2 games x 7, like 5 hours this excludes all the testing teambuilding etc and only playing the games
time it takes to make $20 at work, 2 hours
im not trying to start an argument here, im only playing this tour for fun, i just disagree with the premise of being forced to save replays not everyone has the time to make new teams every week.
also im the type of guy who would go back 6 months to find every possible replay of my opponent...
