Thoughts for what the next suspect might be?
You mean after Lando-I gets banned? A retest of Mega Metagross would be nice in my opinion.

You addressed matchup a bit here but to what degree, if at all, do you think matchup has been exaggerated or has become a go-to excuse for a losing player?
I mean there are 3 components that decide the outcome of a battle: Match-up, Luck (crits, high rolls, 5050s etc) and in-battle decisions: I feel like these 3 things should have almost equal importance. Now, I think that match-up is prevailing a bit over luck and in-game decisions, that's all.
What is the worst / most bs set you've lost to on the ladder? What playstyle do you think is most effective on the ladder, disregarding time constraints?
uhm. I remember losing to Taunt-Superfang Crobat once. That really made me want to throw my pc out of the window. I also lost to nasty plot Togekiss many times, which sucks.
Stall or Balanced are definetely the best playstyles especially in high ladder
wasn't slowbro your favourite pokemon?
Yea and it's still one of my favourites pokemons both for his design and his competitive utility.

Do u think u can do well in any tour as u often do in ladder?
I think I already did that. Of course everyone only remembers my OLT performance, because I beat M Dragon, aim and Bloo, but I've also done well in some minor/less hyped tours.
Livio said:
Who is the player who inspired you or what has most influenced your playstyle?
I'm being honest when I say that nobody influenced/inspired me; I did everything by myself, I never felt like asking someone to help me with a team, or to give me tips on what to do on a certain situation. I was more focused on becoming an inspiration to others, rather than looking up to them.
You said that you think team matchup is a real issue. How would you propose fixing/alleviating this?
I think banning Lando-I is the first step

What are your thoughts on PDC
He's very good, I think his recent Smogon Tour performance speaks for him.

Leremyju said:
Do you think it is hard to deal with tons of threats that it can be hard to play balance without resorting to more of a semi stall play style
Yea it's pretty hard, and yea, most of the times I resort to more of a semistall playstyle rather than some real balance. Things might change with a couple of bans though.

uhm seems a lot of work. isnt starting a yt quite the same though?
should manaphy get suspected?
is our clan the best? GO CAPITALISTS!
like I said in the interview, I think Tail Glow is suspect worth.

if you could ban mega altaria would you?
Asbolutely not. I think it's good for the metagame. Especially because you can count CharY's counters on one hand.

What's the key to becoming a laddering god like yourself?
Like I said I really hate losing. Every time I lose (which happens a lot on the ladder, no matter how good you are and how solid your team is) i want to understand what went wrong, if I made any mistake, if I played too passive or if I lost just because my team is inferior (aka bad match-up). I'm also very determined in the sense that i don't give up very easily, and last but not least, I've enormous faith in my teambuilding process (probably even more faith than I should actually have), which means that whenever I lose, I try to justify the loss with some unlucky events or some bad plays rather than with the team matchup, because if I admit myself that I lost for team match-up, it would mean that my team wasn't as good as I thought and thus my team building process wasn't flawless. But this doesn't happen very often because I consider the team building process the most important and challenging part of the game and thus I dedicate a lot of time to it.
Favorite OM?
Your thoughts on the recent drama?
UU
Unfortunate. Especially the bloo thing really disappointed me. I mean I perceived that something dirty was going on almost immediately (see the investigations on style, the nasty plot mew, the logs with hugo and bloo telling style's opponents what to do turn by turn etc), but you usually dont expect it coming from the Head TD. I have a lot of faith in the new head td anyway. I already answered on Haunter, it just saddens me that he had to leave like that, especially after many years of contribution.
Regarding the preparation for tournament matches, how do you deal with the way your opponent play? Have you ever built specifically for the opponent your were going to face? Confidence is important, but it doesn't matter how solid a team is if you end up getting cted during important games.
Tell me your thoughts about that
Like I said, I have total faith in my teambuilding process. You bring a good point though, as sometimes switching teams between tournament matches is very important. Although that, most of the times I don't really care because I prefer losing with a team that I completely trust rather than losing with a team that Ive built for a specific occasion (or, even worse, with a team given to me by a friend). This way I don't have any regrets.

Does Manaphy deserve a suspect for his ability to break defensive builds? Or do you think that it being almost a deadslot against offense might prevent it from getting his suspect thread?
Like I said in the interview, I think Tail Glow deserves a suspect test.
metmaver said:
What do you think about M-Sableye? Is it a too matchup reliant mon or do you feel like it always pull its own weight during a match?
From my experience, I think it's a bit matchup reliant as every good competitive team should be prepared for it, with stuff like Clefable, Mega Diancie, Charizard Y/X or SD Talonflame which all heavily limit M-Sableye effectiveness.
