  • General tournament rules and regulations can be found here. They must be followed at all times.
  • Battles will be a Bo3 of Bo5s, Single Elimination
  • Replays are required. Failure to provide ALL replays will result in games being voided. It is advised to play on smogtours.

There will be 4 metas to chose from (BW 2v2, ORAS 2v2, SM 2v2, and SS 2v2) where the higher seed picks the meta for the first game and the loser picking every subsequent meta. A meta cannot be revisited once it has been played.

(1) adamew vs. (8) Kaif - kaif lowkey washed if there's no sv, only saving grace is the first seed curse 63-37
(2) sheepie vs. (7) Tricknology - sheepie has been a lot more convincing at old gens despite some luck issues, also better track record here 70-30
(3) crow crumbs vs. (6) MethMaster4546 - mm had some cool games but believe in bird to perform better across a bo3. 65-35
(4) RimCie vs. (5) frogfacts - frogs ss is quite good and they even beat rimcie there; sounds close though overall 45-55

GL to the participants
 
(1) adamew vs. (8) Kaif - been on a goat run these past few tours, dont see it stopping here 65/35
(2) sheepie vs. (7) Tricknology
(3) crow crumbs vs. (6) MethMaster4546 - meth is strong but not as ocnsistent, and crow has the more meta experience/knowledge 65/35
(4) RimCie vs. (5) frogfacts - very clsoe match but im going to give the edge to frog off of !pick. 49-51
 
adamew's totally accurate 2v2 classic iv playoffs predictions! (i have no idea what i'm doing)

ya boi vs. kaif: Normally I never predict myself to win things, and this is no different. Kaif is the better player here, and my Cinderella run has to have the clock strike midnight at some point.
sheepie vs. tricknology: played both, sheepie completely trashed me, and the fact they won half of the 2v2 cups makes me feel better about their chances.
crow crumbs vs. methmaster: Bird is the word.
rimcie vs. frogfacts: least confident in this pick, wouldn't be surprised to see either win it, giving robdog/rimcie the nod here because higher number go brr.

glhf everyone!
 
Round 1
(1) adamew vs. (8) Kaif - the entire reason I'm writing this post is because a longtime friend and rival of mine got a little too addicted to 2v2 when we played this in a casual setting and now we're here. Yes I'm bolding partially off the friend tax, but while both players are very good at 2v2, I have to give a slight edge to adamew because of getting to control the first set and being able to prepare for this more efficiently. I also cannot ignore adamew winning two cups
(2) sheepie vs. (7) Tricknology - personal bias of having played vs sheepie a lot in 1v1 leads me to this bold. Combined with sheep having taken home two cups I'm not betting against that.
(3) crow crumbs vs. MethMaster4546 - entirely basing this off word of mouth and expecting crow to win here.
(4) RimCie vs. frogfacts - frogthaniel's understanding of 1v1 and 2v2 is criminal. It's very hard for me to ever bold against him and here is not where I plan to start.
