Playoffs Smogon Tour Season 22 Playoffs [Won by BKC]

[teal6]

It's that time of the year again. After 9 brutal weeks of sitting at your computer for sometimes up to 4 hours in a row, it's time to enter the playoff stage of Smogon's-Most-Prestigious-Tournament (tm).

Congratulations to the players that have made it this far. There are some new faces among the crowd this time around, along with veterans returning to potentially take home the trophy they've so long yearned for.

For anyone that is unfamiliar with the format of Smogon Tour, in the playoff stage each pairing will face off in a best of three series in the ORAS, BW and DPP OU tiers. The higher seed picks the first tier that will be played, with the loser picking the following game. Win 2 out of 3 and you are one step closer to the prestigious pink trophy.

Without further ado, lets see the pairings for the first round of this edition of Smogon Tour playoffs!

[Finchinator]

1. SoulWind vs 16. Finchinator - gl bro, been looking forward to matching up with you in a tour again for a long time now - going to be a thriller
2. Ciele vs 15. Reymedy - He won last season and I think he's the better player of the two, but Reymedy's certainly competent in each of the tiers and always has a trick up his sleeve. I think Ciele will take BW in the best game of the set - both are very solid there. The other two will be close, but I think Ciele is consistent enough to continue his success during the season and take at least one of the two.
3. Chill Shadow vs 14. xtra$hine - Chill Shadow's very unknown and that's because he's mainly a PO player and typically sticks to RU (LU on PO), but he's got a knack for playing well in the clutch and being able to learn new metagames fairly quickly and he's shown that this season. I've worked with him a lot in BW and I see a lot of promise. I think Xtra has a big DPP advantage, but I'd take Chill Shadow in close games in BW and ORAS, so I guess we're going to have to wait and see!
4. Jimmy Turtwig vs 13. blunder - Blunder is one of my favorite ORAS players out there and I think that he's also quite good at BW. Jimmy Turtwig isn't the most conventional playoff contendor, he certainly made it convincingly, so he's not going to be a pushover. With that said, I favor Blunder all around with the BW and DPP games being closer than ORAS.
5. Obliviate vs 12. FLCL - Not really sure about Obliviate, but FLCL at least has some BW/ORAS competency and tournament experience that Obliviate probably lacks, so going to lean his way.
6. dEnIsSsS vs 11. Malekith - Kith's been around for a while and he has been able to do well in tour playoffs plenty of times. Denis isn't a bad opponent, but I just don't think he's on par with Kith in general while he doesn't stand-out as being amazing in any specific tier, so definitely going to favor Kith in a closer series.
7. Posho vs 10. The Quasar - Posho's been, quietely, developing into one of the best newer players in the tournament scene and I see him being very dangerous in the playoffs. Quasar has been around for a while and he's solid, but Posho knows what he's doing in each of the tiers, too, and he's been playing at a high level, so going to favor him.
8. Omfuga vs 9. BKC - Nicki Minaj vs SLAYER isn't quite the traditional highlight match, but it certainly shapes out to be one here, I reckon.

playing Soulwind Saturday (my afternoon, his evening)
