ZU Team Tour: Finals: Won by Skill Swap Sandygasts

[Quantum Tesseract]

ZU Team Tour
It's the time of year for OM Team tours, but ZU isn't included in OMPL and lacks the playerbase for a ZUPL. As such, in this team tour, players will form up in groups of three to compete. Welcome to the first ZU Team Tour!

Tournament Rules

• This is exclusively an USUM ZU tournament.
• General tournament rules and regulations can be found here.
• Best of 1 | Single Elimination | 3 People Play
• Battles should take place on the PS Main or Smogtours Server
• Do not make baseless activity posts, get in contact with your opponent and report missed times / scheduling issues only.

Mechanic: ZU is a usage-based tier below PU. It uses the same cutoff points as the other usage based tiers and also has council votes and suspect tests.
Clauses: PU clauses
Bans:

• PU banlist

Rounds
Rounds will last one week apiece. I encourage everybody to post when they are active and ready to play so that I can gauge activity at the end of the round. Otherwise, unfinished match advancements will be decided by coin flips.

lost vs Diagnostic 0-1. Invalid cancels, crucial Blizzard and Hurricane misses, and weird Me First mechanics cost me the game, but it was a gg.

Seriously though, I thought Me First acted like Nature Power and didnt activate Sucker Punch...

[Aaronboyer]

I wish that we would have been rewarded more for our bigger wins and closer losses, but congratulations to the Sandygasts for winning. s/o to my teammates 5gen and Durza for backing me up these past few weeks.
