Strikeout Tournament - Round Five (semifinals)

[TAY]

All the data is in, so it is time to begin the semifinals of the Strikeout tournament! As always, here are the strikeout announcements and data before the pairings:

• The only pokemon struck out more than once was Gyarados. Therefore, Gyarados is banned in this round and for the duration of the tournament.
• There were four eligible pokemon tied for most usage, and in a somewhat complicated (but predetermined) tiebreak process, Zapdos is the most used pokemon and is therefore banned in this round and for the duration of the tournament.

Here are strikeout and usage stats:

Here are the semifinal pairings!

• Olie vs Gouki
• Ripchord vs Brawley

I'm not going to set a deadline for this one since there are only two matches. Guys, please remember to save your logs. Last round two of the four pairs forgot, and this time each use is obviously pretty important.

As a reminder, here are all the banned pokemon:

• Garchomp
• Deoxys-E
• Celebi
• Gengar
• Heatran
• Salamence
• Suicune
• Gyarados
• Zapdos

Good Luck to all the remaining contestants!

[Olie]

This was the most asinine match that I have ever played... like it just fuckin sucks, like FUCK!

good luck in the finals, Gouki.

 

[Gouki]

started off the match getting lucked to death, then came back after a hypnosis miss to win the worst game of the tournament!

 

[Olie]

I'm definately warstorying this match today, but I guess I'll wait until the end of the tourney as to not reveal Gouki's team.

I just still can't get over this game, it was just REALLY HORRIBLE!
But, I should stop bitching about this now -___-
