Welcome to the Gen 5 Random Battle Open! This tournament is your chance to showcase your skills in a Single Elimination best-of-3 series (best-of-5 in Quarterfinals onward). This is the penultimate tournament in the Random Battle Circuit VI!

The winner of the Gen 5 Random Battle Open will receive the Room Prize Winner rank in the Random Battles room for a month, be inducted into the Randbats Hall of Fame, and be awarded points for the Random Battle Circuit VI. The winner of the Playoff Round for the circuit will get a Smogon banner for a full year and their choice of either a custom avatar, a color change, or a disabled name on PS, along with a year-long Room Prize Winner rank.

How does this tour work?

It's simple:
1. Contact your opponent on their Smogon Wall and decide on a time to battle.
2. Battle each other in the format "[Gen 5] Random Battle".
3. The first player to 2 wins (3 for Quarterfinals onward) advances to the next round.

Please note:

1. All scheduling attempts MUST be done publicly on Smogon Walls. No other proof of communication will count for act calls regarding scheduling attempts.
2. If you participated in any of the prior tours in the Circuit, and have since changed your Smogon name, LET US KNOW in your signup post.
3. You, and I cannot stress this enough, MUST post replays of your wins. Any battles without replays will need to be replayed.

We strongly recommend familiarizing yourself with the Smogon Tournament Rules and General Guidelines, if you haven’t already. If you have further questions about this tournament or the Random Battle Circuit overall, please don’t hesitate to contact the hosts on Smogon (HarryOtter69, betathunder and Michielleus). No question is a dumb question! We’re here to help.
Please note: since we are in the Quarterfinals, it is now a best of 5 series.

Can't say I'm a huge fan of this format aside from the fact that its the generation with the best mons sprite work OAT. Sleep is overpowered, crits are game breaking due to the higher power level relative to all the other old gens with 2x crit, and QD mons have limited counterplay (largely due to the Sleep Issue) are probably my biggest gripes with it. Will post an opinion in the gen 5 discussion thread later

That said, it was quite a gauntlet to go through to get here and while I was very fortunate along the way, I had a couple moments where I thought I made some baller moves so I'm happy overall. Ggs to Pokeblade101 (hopefully our next set in bracket is a more even playing field in team gen and RNG, you played an immaculate game 1) and everyone I fought along the way

S/O to 35Q71N for getting me into playing tours on this site last year and being one of the better moderators and presences in this community. S/O Team Canada for providing me with Average Canadian Luck™ throughout this run. S/O Seo. fnr u Bum. S/O Sapphire for reminding me how we ALL are ass at mons from time to time. S/O hammy3581 for being the best hamster OAT and elite positive vibes. Fuck paysa and IcyPenguin2 for hating on my alt nicknames. And most of all, S/O MichaelderBeste2 for predicting this result and providing me with confidence, I appreciate it

Huge congratulations to Click>Think on winning the Gen 5 Open! Absolutely deserved and a fantastic achievement! Also a big shoutout to pokeblade101 for an amazing run! Hopefully, your paths will cross again in the playoffs!

On a personal note, this Gen 5 Open was actually my very first experience hosting a circuit tournament. I want to give a special shoutout to betathunder and Michielleus for helping me and guiding me through the process

Congrats again to both players, and GLHF in the upcoming playoffs!
