​
Rules
  • Follow all rules listed here.
  • Schedule via Smogon VMs. It's easier for me to make decisions for activity calls when I can actually see what went down with scheduling.
  • If you are unable to schedule with your opponent, please let your managers know ASAP so they can communicate that to me or the other team's managers for a potential substitute.
  • Substitutions may be made after a week has started. When making a substitution, please tag myself, the managers of the opposing team, and all of the players affected by the substitute to ensure that everyone is made aware. Players who have already played in the week or were subbed out in the same week cannot be subbed back in.
  • If a match remains incomplete by the time of the deadline, it will be subject to an activity call.
  • Replays are mandatory. Not only are they useful for confirming wins, they contribute to usage stats and allow the people who couldn't watch the games live to watch them later.
  • Managers: Please send me your lineups in the same format that I used to post pairings. It makes it much easier to post future rounds more quickly.
請閣下遵守以下規則。
- 儘量用 Smogon 的訪客留言來約戰，方便主辦作出 activity call 判決。
- 若閣下不能與對手約戰，請盡快通知自己隊長，以便他們與主辦和對方隊長安排出替補應戰。
- 隊伍可以在每星期開始後換上替補。請在換上替補時標籤主辦、對方隊長與所有受影響的玩家。在該周已經出戰或換出的玩家不能做替補。
- 若一場比賽在該周死線時還沒完成，主辦會 activity call 該比賽。
- 玩家必須發出比賽錄像。
- 請各位隊長用此帖的格式來給主辦隊伍陣容，方便主辦更快發出下一周賽事。

Apologies boss, last week was an exam I had to lock in, but I'll have some time before another exam in three weeks.

5W (+4) / 3L / 4 Invalid (+4)

DPP OU: etern vs Starshine
Quick impression of both of them in week 2.
Etern: Honestly, I don't vibe with the team since it seems suspicious vs Clef, and generally having only one grounded mon and only one fighting resistant puts you in the line of getting overwhelmed. It's often why Rose teams tend to have 1 fat steel and one offensive steel/ttar in their builds. As for Etern plays, T6 w mixed rachi was ???, especially if you have a Heatran behind. I think in T8 also an error bc you could easily go to Swampert there IMO. But again, he lost a critical moment with specs miss where he positioned to put CB tar in range though, which I think snowballed into Sheik's win. Honestly, I was gonna be harsh on you, but you did have backup plans and did some interesting takes. I think you did def have smth for ground types like Shuca or Jolly Ice Punch Metagross, so excited about what you will bring this week.
Starshine: Game was a bit messy, but I think Starshine threw that endgame on T25, since all you needed was to go to Gyarados, then taunt. There was also T27, where Return into Taunt was a better option since Airi was conditioned super hard. G2 was messy, but just some turns Starshine could have improved was clicking Focus Blast on T11 because the last mon was more than likely a steel type or ttar because of Infernape. Then T11 was dependable, but I'd have gone to Heatran and kept Suicune sack for later scenarios bc those sacks are insanely valuable on near endgames imo. Otherwise, I liked how different both teams were, and hopefully you're polishing your endgame sequences more imo. There are times where you could get many conditioned turns to your favour, but I feel like you're not taking advantage of them enough which is weird bc Chinese teams are extremely strong at that aspect of luring the opponent by conditions.

I'd give some props to Etern because I generally liked his gameplay more compared to Starshine, but I do hope he gets more solidified teams that can complement his long-term planning and have ppl give him some guidance on DPP patterns on buildings/endgames, while Starshine has a lot of cooking, he kinda has suspicious plays that can always be better if he gives more time himself to plan things ahead. Still, despite Etern feeling like a better player, I'll give it to Starshine since he's deep down into the meta rn and I think Etern is getting knowledge checked since Starshine is using teams that are not "natural" to prepare for.

DPP OU: Sheik : vs Kitoothe
Kitoothe had a conceptually strong team against Laurel if it wasn't for Laurel having EQ, which imo drastically changed this MU because Heatran can't sit on Latias, and sub cm ih thunder Rachi can be annoyed as well if you don't get Latias para'd. Otherwise, I don't think Kitoothe was ever gonna progress bc latias eq + clef + Skarmory would have made Kitoothe rely on Thunder to paralyze Latias, and then SD Scizor and Scarf Zone made it too awkward for Kitoothe to play imo.

As for Sheik vs Kitoothe, I think Sheik is gonna bring smth that keeps an eye on ppl fishing for his zapmie stuff, and I think Kitoothe is going to get hard outplayed or matchuped like vs Laurel, unfortunately.

DPP OU: Airi vs Tizio Potente Ao
I don't vibe with Airi's team too much, and I think Tizio is taking this but I also imagine it being close unelss Tizio decides to play this game extremely slow.

DPP OU: Laurel vs Lazuli
Highkey one of three HLs of this tournament, and I think Laurel is playing v well with many good takes to drastically change the matchups on mons that would have been annoyed like EQ Latias for Heatran and Sub CM Rachi. Lazuli will make it close, but I feel like Laurel will be the best player of this tournament tbh(Give me Laurel vs Tycarter big if real).

Note: I'm only making a big effort to write about Chinese/lesser-known people since I think they should be highlighted for this tournament, and we need more representation of different countries for DPP OU. Also, we know who most other non-Chinese players are, so I'll be very lazy unless there's something that sparks my interest, especially since I'm busy as life is atm.
