Greetings, esteemed trainers and tournament organizers,
I come before you today not in protest, but in the pursuit of justice — for my efforts, my sacrifice, and above all, for the proud banner of 1v1 that I carried into uncharted waters.
During Cycle 4 of the 1v1 Ladder Tournament IX, I did everything by the book. I made a fresh alt, registered it properly with the official tag, and never once cheated, boosted, begged, or broke the sacred code of ladder integrity. My alt was clean. My intentions were pure.
Now, before you raise your pitchforks, let me explain. The VGC ladder was popping off as it was during Worlds weekend. It was a hotbed of elite teams, top players, and fierce competition. Now I know what you're thinking: why should this count? It's not 1v1. However, you see that the rules state to use the 1vltnl tag. This tag allows every battle to be seen publicly, across all of Showdown. So all those elite trainers prepare for worlds, testing out their secret op teams. Open to the eyes of the public. Ruined by me and my Magikarp. While others were farming ELO in standard 1v1, I was out there dodging Kyogres and Calyrex-Ice with a fish and a dream.
Nowhere in the rules does it explicitly state that one must ladder on the 1v1 format — only that the account be fresh, the tag used, and that the cycle rules be followed. And I did all of that. For the glory of 1v1. Our community's ladder tour destroyed the hopes and dreams of worlds competitors. Now if this was meant to be a 1v1 specifically, why did the admins of the site and our lovely tour directors not stop our tag from working in other formats? That's right, because it was 1000% allowed.
But to avoid any angry players, I'll only join in the case all participants are not able to play.
So if fate intervenes — if a participant no-shows, times out, or tragically forgets they signed up — I respectfully offer myself as the next in line. I have proven my dedication. I have demonstrated my resilience. And I have done it all with the most underpowered Pokémon imaginable.
