Earthworm vs Malekith

No deadline, but don't take forever and make me explode with anger. Should be a nice game. Let us know when you're gonna play!

Confirming I beat Malekith, gg. http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/smogtours-gen4ou-255935

This tournament actually meant quite a lot to me because I lost in the finals of the original due to playing the team poorly (i.e. taking water spout with forretress turn 2...): http://www.smogon.com/forums/threads/terrorist-cup-tournament-final-won-by-jabbathegriffin.84329/

Losing in the finals of that tournament was one of my biggest regrets in my Pokemon career in fact. I was very confident in my team's strength in the metagame and was feeling pretty invincible using it, so it was a big letdown. Winning this definitely meant more to me than winning other random tournaments that I've won in the past.

Due to that, I asked each of my opponents to play on main instead of smogtours so that my team wouldn't be revealed. Thanks to everyone for co-operating. I did save some of the logs though, so here they are for those who are curious:

This team has a really big advantage against players who don't know it in advance, in my opinion. Now that I've posted it it will obviously lose some of its effectiveness, and it is also fairly susceptible to being counter-teamed. I used the team every round except R2, because I was confident I could beat my opponent with another team without risking the team reveal. (sorry..)

Also, I think winning this tournament puts me equal with Bloo in number of tournaments won. Now I just have to win the GSC trap tournament...

Thanks Funk for hosting!
