LAGA.
This was aimed at me ;_;
Why is Pwnemon so mean
I don't know whether is was fun to see Pwnemon's anus get obliterated by Laga. I'd give some analysis of significant plays but I think it was kinda clear that Laga did pretty much everything right. Sterling work on the prediction from our SPL hero.
As Pwne said himself, not scouting out the Scarf on Landorus put him to perhaps the worst start he could have possibly had.
Slowtom-wash master race.
Analysis of the game, from the loser:
My fatal flaw was my complete confidence that that was a CB Landorus. Had I bothered to calc lando explosion vs 4/0 kanga, or had i just scouted the stone edge with protect and then gone Scrafty or Jirachi, I could have won. Thundurus was key to the offense for beating Rotom, Pinsir, and Conkeldurr, and went he went down I basically lost. I should not have wagered the entire game on a hunch, and that choke lost me the game.
After that, i tried everything i could to regain the game, but nothing went my way. I quickly lost two more to a mach punch i for some reason failed to expect (i had expected feint mana + dpunch scrafty). My jirachi was absolute min spe since it carries emergency TR (good on literally all teams) so i tried to flinch his rotom-w, but ir was absolute min too. My attempt to scald burn his conk didn't work either. With nothing coming in my favor, it was clear I could not come back from one bad play, and I lost.
I'm not excusing my stupidity with that thundurus, because it was egregious, but I just want to say that I should have declined laga's offer to play then. I felt bad that we had not started BOTW when we were supposed to play a while ago and said I could get one game in the ten minutes between school and practice, which left me feeling rushed. Playing rushed is a great way to invite in mistakes, as you can see it did for me. I am sorry I gave anything but the "Battle of the Week" and i hope to redeem myself in these next two, under better conditions.

laga and i ended up finishing these today, after i gave myself a weekend to cool off from my r1 loss. (jk it was because we couldnt get in touch / kept forgetting).
Second Battle
Third Battle
ggs, laga!
I don't feel like writing an extended analysis right now. Really for a large part of both matches I just played on instinct; match 2 was basically "kill garchomp so salamence can do his job: the game" and game 3 was "get tr up, avoid getting fucked by breloom: the game." I only have two teams i'm confident taking to serious matches, those in games 1 and 3, so I'd like to thank -Tsunami- for his based Sylveon team that I got the hang of using by ghosting ezio to victory on the ladder repeatedly. I didn't want to bring my standard team to the first games because it was my signature and I knew laga would counterteam me hard, so I tried to vary as wildly from my TR bulk in both as possible. By game 3 i figured he'd given up on counterteaming me. However, we had already had the exact same battle like four days ago while he was testing for SPL, and I got crushed; this is why you saw me say "I lose" before turn 1. Fortunately through manly play (cough double targeting Rotom-W) I was able to avoid a repeat of that fate and pull out the bo3. please some spl team draft me midseason ;___;
