BH REVIEWS WEEK 4
Quinn vs Treeko928
Quinn:
Treeko:
On preview I'd assume Quinn has loaded fat with MG Fireceus, Scales Audino, Regen Steela, Imp Blissey, Bounce or MG or FC Giratina and utility Mane. Treeko looks to have MG Knock Ghostceus + Special attackers idea, with one of them fc and furscales zacian too, I'd guess the egg is non-Imposter although Takers all love imp so maybe they chose to forgo a good spdef core to fit imp.
Steela immediately gets knocked which is concerning once Imp is revealed, although knock on Etern means this isn't an immediate issue since Audino likely handles all breakers; given Etern is utility. Treeko reveals their egg is also Imposter, so zacian is likely to be Scales? That gets confirmed eventually as Flare Flutter is revealed. Celesteela manages to find opportunities to heal to survive against Miraidon, but Treeko reveals it has Encore to completely lock down the Tsong Fireceus which would otherwise be quite strong given it presumably has Earth Judgment.
Giratina eventually reveals Prank and Treeko is struggling to hold off the Fireceus long term. When I was watching this live I was like "can't you trap it with Zacian and pp stall the torch songs?" but looking at it closer Zacian would lose this interaction since Fireceus would gain a little power each time Zacian has to recover.
Treeko tries to 1v1 the Fireceus with their own Take Heart Ghostceus, but this fails and Zacian is sacked for unclear reasons after letting Arc get to +6. Eternatus forces it out but Treeko can't check Flutter mane now, who picks up a kill on Registeel. From there Arceus Fire is in a very strong position and Treeko is even struggling to keep Miraidon improofed, so Quinn is able to close out the game over a number of turns.
quojova vs Akira
quojova:
Akira: 
Quojova's team looks to be regen Ting, FC Eternatus, levitate on either Flutter or Steelceus to cover Garchomp, breaker Garde and could go either way on if Chansey is Imposter although it being slotted 6th favors Imposter.
It's later revealed that neither Flutter or Steelceus are Levitate and Quojova simply didn't bring a Garchomp check since it struggles to get in on anything.
My team is MG egg, SG Blaziken with Bolt Strike, SD torque V-Create Sap Zacc, GaG Ghostceus, FC Koraidon and WBB Celesteela.
Not going to go in to detail on this game except that I was pretty much thinking it was cooked as soon as I saw FC Helmet Recover Eternatus, vs sap with no helmet it would at least be playable. Webs compounded this even further since I couldn't spin very reliably. However, the Eternatus set turned out to be unable to touch Zacian, which gave me the room to try to win with it. It took quite a bit of luck but I was able to get Zacian into a position where it won off an Imposter tie that it proceeded to win.
cityscapes vs Wheaty
cityscapes: 
Wheaty: 
City has loaded what appears to be a team straight out of Quantum Tesseract's builder featuring double regen ting + steel, fc waterceus, a choiced breaker, a fastmon that can make progress and Imposter. QT suggested I load this exact team on week 2 LMAO the sets were only slightly different and it was a Chansey.
Wheaty has loaded what appears to be a team straight out of Quantum Tesseract's builder but if you changed the 2 progress makers to be Wheaty's usual breakers.
Both players are fucking around with their fatmons for a while but Wheaty starts off with an early lead because his breakers are better, Arceus-Water and Ting Lu are both very low by turn 14. Flutter mane gets nailed by a Knock Off but heals right up with Split. It reveals WBB next time Wheaty brings in Blaziken which is troublesome since Knock Off won't do as much the second time. City starts getting all the turns right instead which swings momentum her way but she still isn't getting any of her breakers in except one time where Gardevoir takes rocks and then immediately switches out, second time it just hits Registeel for no progress and Wheaty gets Blaziken in which chunks her Imp. Flutter gets in on choice locked CC to heal up to max on Ting, Gardevoir gets in and reveals Secret Sword for a huge 70% on Registeel, it gets in again and Wheaty tries to catch SSword with Imp but gets Boombursted and while City loses the subsequent tie, Imp is really low now.
Flutter mane reveals Take Heart which exploits the exploitable Registeel set to threaten to win on the spot. Zam volt switches and sacks Chansey to get it in Moongeist range, but now Imposter is dead so City is threatening to win with Arceus-Water if it can boost up enough to take Zam's hits. From here, she gets most turns right to avoid Blaziken cleaning her up, and eventually positions Waterceus correctly to sweep.
In conclusion: Quantum Tesseract wins.
Ballfire vs XxLazzerpenguinxX
Ballfire: 
Sevag: 
Ballfire's team looks like typical Garchomp + Bounce Poison balance with FC Zama, Regen Registeel and Fairyceus could be either a second FC or Scales with possibility of non-imp Chansey if it's FC. Although knowing Ballfire I'd probably assume it's Scales Fairyceus and Imposter. Clodsire is very likely Bounce although I suppose there are possibilities of it being Spdef.
Sevag has a fast paced offense as usual with the individual sets being very hard to guess. I would probably assume regenvest Heatran, Fc Kyogre or Fairyceus with Kyogre being GaG if not FC. Etern possibly regen? Mirai would be MG, Regen or some sorta Specs set and Zam is most likely standard Specs Beads.
Ballfire's Fairyceus reveals the strange choice of Volt Switch, so maybe it's an abnormal set? Sevag's Kyogre uses Stone Axe so it's likely Regen especially given the Volt Switch calc, since I might otherwise suspect the City Prankster set.
Fairyceus reveals itself as Pixilate and chooses to Rapid Spin, which is sensible, while Sevag chooses to stay in and TCage with Miraidon, which is not. Eternatus then comes in (?) since I guess Sevag thinks Heatran makes boomburst a complete impossibility. It isn't Scales since Ballfire already scouted it. Chomp gets in on -2 Etern, gets PShotted and fails to kill Kyogre and Fairyceus. Sevag's Fairyceus is revealed to be moonblast lefties, likely FC. Mirai lands a knock on Registeel so Ballfire may struggle to wall it now, although Clodsire is a huge asset.
Alakazam comes in and absolutely blasts the Registeel, OHKOing it with Armor Cannon due to the vest loss. Ballfire is completely screwed now but then Sevag hard switches in Alakazam on the Clodsire and gets nuzzled (??). Sevag gets fullparaed a couple times now and I heard this game involved him getting haxxed but to be honest he brought this upon himself? Chomp misses the PBlades that secured a kill so the hax didn't even matter here. Etern dies after Draco doesn't kill Chomp at -3 but it chips it for Kyogre who reveals +speed after a couple turns to pick up the kill on the Garchomp.
Ballfire may be screwed now, with pretty much no good wincon. However, he has Imposter which is able to hold off Zam thanks to paralysis, land a knock off on Heatran by copying Miraidon, and eventually, after more parahax, come in on a heavily weakened +1 Fairyceus to clean up Sevag's team. Paralysis played a huge role here but also why did the Alakazam get hard switched in on nuzzle.

fififlutters vs SammyCe123
fififlutters: 
Sammy: 
Fiora has what I recognized as one of Pannu's favorite cores in Toxic Zacian-C + MG Arceus Fire. I'm not really a believer in it though. It'll be FC MAudino, FC Giratina, MG Chansey and Regen Celesteela.
Sammy looks to have a very offensive team, with FC Waterceus, and what I have to assume is WBB Magearna? Chansey is probably MG although I suppose it could be Imposter if the Eternatus is like Ice Scales or Unaware.
Fireceus quickly gets glared by the Mage, who is probably confirming WBB with how confident it is staying it, but Scales is possible. Eternatus reveals Magic Bounce and Fiora sends out MG Chansey who gets scouted by Sammy's Chansey which is revealed to be Imp, leaving me wondering where the Spdef core is and suspecting that this might be outright hyper offense?
Blaziken comes in and does a ton to Giratina with Headlong Rush. It isn't Desland and the damage is high so it seems to be Tough Claws, but likely not Electro Drift since Waterceus is the Improof. Giratina is confirmed to be Bounce, not FC, so Blaziken has decent chances of breaking through here depending on coverage, but since it isn't Edrift it probably has coverage. Sceptile comes in and reveals Drought, which makes the team start to make sense, Blaziken is going to just overwhelm everything with unreasonable damage if Fiora doesn't stop it from getting in too many times.
Blaziken gets in once but misses V-Create, although Giratina would have just about walled it with Morning Sun I suspect. The second time it hits but sun runs out after the first hit, so Giratina walls it yet again. The third time Blaziken reveals Wicked Blow and Giratina, who had taken some minor chip, goes down. Zacc comes out and connects a Toxic on the Waterceus who isn't Take Heart (it's a weird Hydro Steam set), so it has a chance? no boosting is going to hurt though. Imp forces it out and Blaziken gets in again to claim a kill, but clicks Headlong into Celesteela instead.
Fireceus comes in and Eternatus reveals Encore to 1v1 it with Ruination and Spirit Shackle. From there the Zacian is unimproofed so Fiora is really struggling for wincons. Imposter comes in on the Zacian and she forfeits.
Icemaster vs QT
Icemaster:
QT: 
Icemaster has loaded a mysterious team, but Fish Gaming thankfully points out to QT that it is the BH Sample Bomb Squad by Wheaty. Apparently this was by accident but the MU was great so it's whatever IMO.
QT has loaded TC Blaziken with Bounce Clod, FC Elecceus, FC Zamazenta, Regen Celesteela and Imposter.
Again won't comment too much on this one since I'm biased, but QT's matchup here is really bad, with Alakazam being really really hard to deal with and Blaziken able to break if Elecceus takes even just Stealth Rock chip. They had to outplay like crazy with Imposter to pull out a win here.
damflame3 vs TTTech
Damflame: 
TTTech:
Damflame has what I remember as a janky Cityscapes team, with no healing MG Ghostceus, Aerilate Celesteela and Wish FC Kyogre. I didn't remember the other sets but I'd guess it's Imposter, Scales Audino and maybe Levitate Steelix?? Something weird on the Steelix.
TTTech has a Quantum Tesseract type team with regen ting lu registeel, fc waterceus, imposter, 4atks blaziken either dland or tc, and some sorta eternatus maybe regen maybe bounce would be my guesses. MG makes sense too.
TTTech immediately gets two mons burned by Kyogre's Burning Bulwark. They fuck around for like 20 turns until Ghostceus comes in and threatens huge damage, but instead gets its spikes blocked by Bounce Eternatus. Kyogre can't hit the Blaziken so TTTech can SG for free and kill anything on Damflame's team. Instead of killing things though TTTech decides to Glaive Rush twice, the Celesteela comes in and lives one then kills the Blaziken with Aerilate Extreme Speed.
Despite this humiliating callout, TTTech wins because Haze Audino isn't a long term TH Arceus check so TH Arceus wins GGWP.
Mindnight vs Clas
Mindnight: 
Clas:
Mindnight's team seems very agressive, if I had to guess at the sets I'd say it's Scales Elecceus, Bounce or FC Audino and WBB Celesteela, with SFLO Unec and Some sorta Blaziken that would be proofed by a WBB Teela, Chansey seems like it'd be Imp.
Clas has what looks like a QT Balance but I helped build so I know that this is secretly a QT Balance but instead of 2 progress makers it's 2 setup mons, and the Imposter is replaced by prank screens. The Fightceus here is Utility Umbrella so it eats DLand VC.
Clas starts off the game by almost losing the Fightceus to Blaziken despite having the tools to check it, then uses a lucky dodge to prevent Unecro from killing the Ting Lu.
However, Mindnight has no Flare Flutter check so it forces Imposter in. Then they keep it in on the Blissey leading to Imp getting paralysed. Garchomp comes in and uses SD twice and gets burned for its trouble, but still kills the Celesteela. Elecceus gets a little scary but Clas forces it out with CThrow Celesteela under Light Screen. Flutter Mane gets in again and plots and it's over.
