[ambervoid]

l you guys

 

[BlakBlastoise]

I PM'd SWchill.

 

[Mini Guerra]

should be fun ^_^.

good luck to the 8 participants.

 

[Chill]

Top 8! I'm so excited. BlakBlastoise and I can't battle now but we'll likely get it done later today. So we'll probably have the first match completed.

 

[Goodbar]

Awesome, I get to rematch johnXkid, I hope and am pretty sure this will turn out to be a better match on my end.

Also thanks kara for taking the hit, I knew you weren't intentionally not coming on :). But I'm sorry also you kinda got butt raped by technicalities.

Top 8 still looks pretty good though, here's to hoping the summer tourney goes a little more smoothly with more people able to get their matches done.

I hate being a manager..........

But I just got a new job where I make my own schedule, so I am more than good to go with the summer tourneys.

I also recorded my battle against altex. Opening a youtube channel soon i guess. In addition to gymnastics stuff, a few pogey battles will work.

 

[DawnBringer]

This sucks, I have to make a new team just to face THB again.
Ugggh, I was thinking this team could pull me all the way to the finals >.>

 

[BlakBlastoise]

Top 8! I'm so excited. BlakBlastoise and I can't battle now but we'll likely get it done later today. So we'll probably have the first match completed.

I may not be able to battle after all. My Father decided to show up early from work and he hates seeing me play Video games so we might have to postpone it. Do not worry though, we shall get the battle done on time. You just have to wait longer for your victory!

 

[Jimbo]

Good luck to everyone that made it to the finals =) It'll be cool to see how these matches play out...

 

[Sixonesix]

...so if Kara had beaten Goodbar rather than forfeiting, then I could've made Top Cut? But what was that about me being in 11th place no matter what? Ah, forget it...

What I do want to know is how did ambervoid get behind me? I thought he ranked a lot higher than I did.

 

[Pablo]

It depends on how well your opponents did. Remember who you battled during the Rounds, and see how well they did, then ask ambervoid how his opponents did and when comparing, you faced opponents who came out better in the end.

 

[Sixonesix]

Well, ok then...

I have another question, then. What happens if someone opts out of Top 8?

 

[Pablo]

The 9th seed is now considered the 8th and the pairings are adjusted accordingly.

 

[Sixonesix]

I see. Then doesn't that mean that everyone in the Top 8 ought to post to confirm before any battles are started?

 

[Pablo]

The only one in doubt was johnXkid, and he has confirmed he will be battling, so I have no reason to doubt the other players, as they have been quite active during the tournament.

Sorry sixonesix, I know how bad it hurts to get 9th, but I hope you now try even harder for the Summer series one. I feel bad too, I'm probably out of the Top 8 only because I broke my own stupid rule lol.

 

[Sixonesix]

Ah, ok then.

 

[Marauder Artemis]

I'll be PMing Bentendo shortly

 

[DawnBringer]

Predictions:

Table 1 - DawnBringer vs TheHuntBegins

Aagggggh, a replay of the second round, forcing me to make a new team...

Table 2 - Bentendo13 vs Marauder Artemis

Surprises me how well he has done in the tourney, looking for the upset here. No hate Ben :P

Table 3 - SWChill vs BlakBlastoise

Didn't expect this either, looking forward to this match, but I'm looking for Chill to get the victory.

Table 4 - Mr GoodBar vs johnXkid

Simply because GoodBar looks too much like Harry Potter, and even though he always like killed voldemort, etc. He will fall in the world of pokemons :O

 

[Pablo]

My prediction:

Table 1 - DawnBringer vs TheHuntBegins

Or can Dawn break the 1st seed curse? I'm prtty sure this will be a pretty close battle, since Dawn has the psychological disadvantage of having the pressure to keep up his so far undefeated streak.

Table 2 - Bentendo13 vs Marauder Artemis

Marauder defeated me in a previous Round, but Bentendos awesome battles on YouTube show how good a battler he is. Another very close match I think.

Table 3 - SWChill vs BlakBlastoise

The biggest underdog I believe, so I'm rooting for him.

Table 4 - Mr GoodBar vs johnXkid

They seem to know each other pretty well, so it's a really tough call.

 

[Marauder Artemis]

Table 1 - DawnBringer vs TheHuntBegins
6-0 isn't just luck! [well maybe some luck]

Table 2 - Bentendo13 vs Marauder Artemis
Aye good luck Ben~!

Table 3 - SWChill vs BlakBlastoise
Pretty nice battler, this may be a close one

Table 4 - Mr GoodBar vs johnXkid
I hear john is alright. Not sure on this one :S

 

[Jimbo]

Table 1 - DawnBringer vs TheHuntBegins
I should get his Shiny Feebas

Table 2 - Bentendo13 vs Marauder Artemis
I've battled both of them... Might have to give it to Ben though =l Very close though

Table 3 - SWChill vs BlakBlastoise
Just a guess, haven't battled either...

Table 4 - Mr GoodBar vs johnXkid
Kick. His. Ass.

 

[august]

Table 1 - DawnBringer vs TheHuntBegins
Cause he's good?

Table 2 - Bentendo13 vs Marauder Artemis
Ben has skill

Table 3 - SWChill vs BlakBlastoise
Seems solid

Table 4 - Mr GoodBar vs johnXkid
good luck :D

 

[ambervoid]

Table 1 - DawnBringer vs TheHuntBegins
based on his seeded position. he's in a strong position, and I'm sure he'll do well no matter what team he takes

Table 2 - Bentendo13 vs Marauder Artemis
Though I played MA first round, and he played fine despite a loss after a great game, I'm quite confident in Bentendo's skill at battling.

Table 3 - SWChill vs BlakBlastoise
A guess

Table 4 - Mr GoodBar vs johnXkidBoth have sweet threads, but I think I'm leaning toward Goodbar on this one.

 

[Goodbar]

Everybody hates meh =[, jimbo and dawnbringer should not be allowed to talk about me unless they say weird things like in my sig.

I'm trying to make a new team in case I have to battle THB again, who is the only one who kinda is familiar with my team, though it changed a bit, hopefully the new one turns out even better anyways so i can use it all the way through lol

EDIT: My prediction is that Gin will win this tourney, closely followed by Jimbo's mom
