Welcome to the sixth edition of the Monotype Ladder Tournament hosted by Mateeus and Maple

The laddering session has now concluded, here are the players who qualified during the past 4 weeks of laddering. Now they will be placed in a double elimination bracket in order to determine the winner of this tournament. The pairings will be RANDOMISED and not at all based on what position you ended on the ladder in your cycle. The competition will also be DOUBLE ELIMINATION and each match up is a BEST OF THREE.​

SPECIFIC RULES
  • This is a standard Monotype tournament
  • This tournament will be DOUBLE Elimination
  • All rounds will be Best of Three. You may switch teams in between battles of the same set.
  • Matches are to be played on Pokemon Showdown!
  • To encourage the development of the metagame, and so that everyone is on an even playing field, all matches must have replays recorded AND POSTED. If neither player posts or at least saves replays of the match, the game will be coin flipped regardless of whoever won. Guys, it's the finals of one of the last major Monotype tours of this generation; just post them.
Standard Rules and Clauses
  • Baton Pass Clause: Baton pass is banned
  • Same Type Clause: Pokémon in a team must share a type, both before and after Mega Evolution
  • Sleep Clause Mod: Limit one foe put to sleep
  • Species Clause: Limit one of each Pokémon
  • OHKO Clause: OHKO moves are banned
  • Moody Clause: Moody is banned
  • Evasion Moves Clause: Evasion moves are banned
  • Endless Battle Clause: Forcing endless battles is banned
  • HP Percentage Mod: HP is shown in percentages
  1. Identity: I expect many battles to be completed under alts. This can be bad for tournament security, and thus I will make this clear: If I hear any whispers of identity theft (battling as someone you are not) or proxy battling (helping someone else battle through pm) I will not be pleased and I will take severe actions.
  2. Scouting: Next, I do not want to hear anything about counter-teaming, at all. Do not complain about it. I also don't want to hear about any blatant scouting. There is a difference between "[user] is known for using Fire-type" and "let me follow [user] around all day to watch all his battles since I am his opponent". I expect a lot of the former and none of the latter. I give permission to all battlers to ask any person spectating their battle to leave if they do not want them watching. Everyone will have access to your replays from earlier rounds though.
  3. Timer Clause: As for taking long between moves, if your opponent asks you to hurry up, please oblige. If you are doing a damage calc for a key turn that is one thing, but prolonging every move is suspicious and annoying. Don't do it. Furthermore, Battle Timeout is a rule for a reason. If you run out of time, you lose, simple as that. It does not matter what your opponent says. Do not battle if you think you will have to leave mid battle, and instead reschedule for a better time.
  4. Disconnections: Finally, in the case of a disconnect, the decision is in the hands of the player who did not disconnect. The options are: redo the battle move for move, redo the battle with the same teams but different moves, or redo the battle with completely different teams. If the battle was without a doubt over, they may also take the win. Any suspicion that a disconnect was committed on purpose to redo a match may be appealed to me, and if I feel this happened there will be severe consequences, don't do it.

Monotype Leader
Maki's Fox  vs  LaPatateDouce - Attribute's GOAT is going to wash Maki's like the deplorable furry that they are.
Decem  vs  dahli - While Decem's ingenuity in the builder ranks at the top of SS players, Peachy's advantage in playing skill gives him the edge here.
Azicken22  vs  Attribute
Trichotomy  vs  Riku Sakuraba - Riku won last year against Trich in MLT, and should be able to luck out-skill him into another series win.
Roxiee  vs  smub
Izaya  vs  Chaitanya - While Chait has lost his unbeaten record in MPL, he still remains as the favourite to win MLT.
Fírnen  vs  Kaguya Lys - Ayayaya was one of the more underrated players in SS this MPL, and finished high in Seeded as well. A dark horse to win MLT in my opinion.
Maple  vs  BlazingDark - DugZa would be expected to win, but I can't bold him after such a dogshit name change.
imjustgray  vs  Toadow - Toadow has more experience and skill in Mono, although Gray could win given the experience he gained from playing around as many games as Maki's Fox.
TheArchitect_  vs  Bitana - Battle of the Krows, I think Bit has the edge in building and playing, and end up taking this series.
Fylkir Pudin  vs  Sabella
pikachu<3  vs  kythr - Number claused (even if it forms a heart).
Dflo  vs  ArkenCiel - While Dflo qualified for OLT and is undoubtedly skilled, Arken should be able to pull through given his experience in Mono.
Floss  vs  Kev - Would leave it blank but 100% of the people on the right have won so...
maroon  vs  Mateeus
Dieu Amphibien  vs  zugubu royale - Bayern beat PSG in UCL finals, I expect another German > French here. Dieu could cause an upset though.
 

Thunder

Kingku ke charan pranam
Some cheap mindless predicts-
Maki's Fox  vs  LaPatateDouce-I trust Maki can win here after going 3-0 in mpl and the amount of ladder battles played
Decem  vs  dahli- While both are great players, but peachy is better player than Decem so can see peachy taking this one.
Azicken22  vs  Attribute
Trichotomy  vs  Riku Sakuraba- Trich is probably a better player here.
Roxiee  vs  smub
Izaya  vs  Chaitanya- Chait played 300+ ladder games and keep reseting W/L but despite this he is a favourite to win MPL.
Fírnen  vs  Kaguya Lys- Both are good players but I trust Fírnen more here.
Maple  vs  BlazingDark- Despite an ass of name change, Dug is probably better player, unless he brings water stall all three games.
imjustgray  vs  Toadow- Gray is a good player and friend but Toadow is better mono player here.
TheArchitect_  vs  Bitana- I dont have anything to say here, going with gut feeling.
Fylkir Pudin  vs  Sabella
pikachu<3  vs  kythr- Who?
Dflo  vs  ArkenCiel- Better in mono, but could be anyone's thanks to meta that ss is.
Floss  vs  Kev- I mean yeah Floss should win, but anyone can take this.
maroon  vs  Mateeus- Maroon need to stop no johns.
Dieu Amphibien  vs  zugubu royale- Floss beat me to the UCL reference :sad:
