Ubers Classic VIII Playoffs

Tournament Rules:
  • General tournament rules and regulations can be found here.

  • All series played will be a best of five with the higher seed choosing the first metagame out of the following: USM, ORAS, BW2, DPP, and ADV. The loser of that game will then pick the next tier, and so on until the series is complete. Be aware that metagames cannot be repeated during a series!
  • Matches are to be played on Pokemon Showdown! (smogtours take priority over main, unless there's an issue on smogtours making it not feasible to play - in that case, playing on main is acceptable)

byronthewellwell vs FatFighter : Byron has plot armor + aussie advantage, meanwhile ff2 is literally dogshit, just look at this replay : Replays - Pokémon Showdown! (pokemonshowdown.com), a man like this could never make it in the oldgens world.
Highlord vs Evuelf : Huge embarassement if Highlord loses this one, idk who his opponent is but probably easy pickings
Shrang vs FadedCharm : Faded has mamba mentality
MZ vs RichardMillePlain : HELP
 
last week: 4/8
To celebrate pride month my predicts are pride colored

byronthewellwell vs FatFighter2: ff2 is washed and cant play bw or dpp for shit
Evuelf vs Highlord: The strongest classic player in history vs the strongest classic player of today so HL losing is a canon event
shrang vs FadedCharm: I will be there no matter what.
MZ vs RichardMillePlain: unfortunately for mz he's facing a lucky bum this week so he'll get outlucked
 
predicts from someone with negative fairygen understanding:

byron vs ff2:
SM: i've heard that byron is goated at this gen. However, ff2 is also good and lucky here, and looking at his bring last rd I can't go against him
ORAS: actually afaik they are both good here too. from what I can tell byron's game last rd was p clean and ff2 showed a cool tios set. ff2 seemed to struggle in oraspl (ngl i'm too lazy to go through those games rn) so I'll give it to byron here
BW: uh byron brought a tape team and had the game won. I assume they were all speedties at the end, I guess he wanted to avoid some recover shenanigans but :X ff2 brought the based lilligant squad and kinda lost the game on t1 so I'll give bw to byron as well
DPP: well byron brought a team that I don't recognize, I guess you rely on forry/don to sponge dracos/revenge with dialga? idk. i don't recognize ff2's bring either, but I would assume based off of things like the sr deo a lead, tail glow manaphy (fraud?) and the rachi that it's an old squad. forgetting about custap is also :S so i would give this to byron
ADV: byron brought a classic squad and played well, but ff2 brought a cool team and put on a masterclass vs stall. I think even if rng goes against ff2 (quite rare) he should take this pretty handily
Although I guess I predict byron to win 3-2, I think all games are pretty competitive aside from adv

hl vs evu:
SM: no offense to these two but idk if we rly wanna watch these two play this tier, I guess i'll just bold hl cause i feel like he will be sweaty af
ORAS: well evu is the past classic winner, hl also did p well in the oras inv iirc. Based off of last rd as well slight edge to hl ig
BW: they both brought interesting teams. I'm trying to find the ogre check on evu's squad, and I don't rly understand the wisp spam on hl's team but maybe someone can explain these things to me :X think it should be a good game, gonna have to give it to evu
DPP: I mean i don't have to say anything about hl in this tier, but evu bringing the hl 6 demonstrates good understanding of the tier imo :totodiLUL: gonna have to go with the goat
ADV: evuelf brought a classic 6 and won and hl got goobed by one of the goat's teams (shoutout the goat) in addition i saw some of highlord's opinions regarding the upl adv pool last year so i'll bold against him
i predicted hl 3-2 but i'm actually not confident in any of these picks lmao :fukyu: should be an interesting competitive series tho

shrang vs faded:
SM: People i talk to rate faded quite highly in sm, taking into account their last wk games as well, i will have to bold faded
ORAS: they both won their games, from my (very limited) understanding faded's game was quite a bit cleaner tho, going faded here
BW: good game from shrang, the team and the nicknames remind me of some1 but not 100% sure. anyways faded poured gasoline all over the kitchen and then dropped a nuke on it. strong favor shrang here
DPP: well we all know shrang is the dpp main, bro's team choice (seems like a team from the days when ubers was in spl :blobsad:) told everyone not to bring the forbidden team. i did like faded's game and bring as well, but will respect the main and bold him here
ADV: ok so shrang's game...getting the don toxic'd was bad imo but ig he was confident he was faster. thanks for teaching me that sky attack existed in adv :pika: faded game might have been decided by the crit depending on spreads, so idk actually. gonna go faded here
Predicted faded 3-2 but aside from sm and bw I think the other games are very competitive

mz vs rmp:
SM: um ig they both won in cool games, rmp played on main tho :pikuh: so mz
ORAS: well ik mz is strong at oras as well. richard however played a good game against a better oras player imo so i'll bold richard
BW: so I liked some of mz's plays, I do think that rng was a little helpful but he is good at the tier. richard brought a good team (bro fuck that team tho) and I think he seems to be in good form based off of his impressive performance last rd (fuck the main gaming tho) going richard here
DPP: cool team from mz, seems a bit old. I cba to check but i think richard has more tangible success thru years of classic/dpppppppl etc so him
ADV: didnt get to see any of this last rd, i do think richard has access to better teams tho
Both are good players, I liked richard's set from last rd, strong contender to win it all. however mz is obv v good player so it should be a cool series

Ok this shit took a lot longer than I thought. feel free to correct me on things that I got wrong (i'm sure there's many :quagchamppogsire:), I just wanted to do this for fun and to maybe start some discussion. holy fk imma touch some grass. cya next week, pce
