Playoffs Smogon Classic IV - Playoffs [No Winner]

[Luigi]

(Thanks to MiniArchitect for the logo!)
​

After almost 3 months of fierce competition, we're at the pinnacle that every old gen player aspires to reach, the playoffs for the coveted white trophy

Before we get to the playoffs let's all thank the people that donated their time and effort so this tournament could happen, Golden Gyarados, Jimmy Turtwig, reyscarface, dream and even Finchinator. And a special shoutout to perry, cb aaron judge and TPP for handling the point sheet more efficiently than ever before.

Each series will be a BO5 of the Cup metagames with the higher seed picking which tier is played first. The remaining games will use the standard "loser picks next" deciding order.

Without further ado...

winner of googly vs texas takes the whole thing you guys heard it here first

other predix

1. Jimmy Turtwig vs 16. Winner of Tiebreak -- Jimmy's been in phenomenal form this whole tour. Top player, I'd expect nothing less than the best from him here. Strong contender to win the whole thing imo.

2. bro fist vs 15. Pleasure -- conflict's one of the most knowledgable oldgens players, but John's just so good at making the right reads that it's hard to ever predict against him. Should be a great set though.

3. Bomber vs 14. M Dragon -- his opp got 6 - 0'd by elodin lmao

4. Googly vs 13. Texas Cloverleaf -- highlight of the round no question. Googly's impressed me a lot, but you can never count out smogon's top non-blundino canadian

5. Alexander. vs 12. d0nut -- both strong players; I think Alex takes RBY/GSC, but d0's been really working on the mid gens and I think he sweeps there.

6. Lavos vs 11. k3nan -- is Lavos the goat?

7. Tricking vs 10. Lax -- I think Tricking's a kind of streaky player, but he's been on fire recently and I expect him to do well here.

8. Ojama vs 9. reyscarface -- Real tossup of a match between two of the strongest players out there. I'd give a slight edge to Rey in DPP and Ojama in RSE, but it should be good across the board.
