Rules
  • Follow all rules listed here.
  • Schedule via Smogon VMs. It's easier for us to make decisions for activity calls when we can actually see what went down with scheduling.
  • If you are unable to schedule with your opponent, please let your managers know ASAP so they can communicate that to us or the other team's managers for a potential substitute.
  • Substitutions may be made after a week as started. When making a substitution, please tag myself, the managers of the opposing team, and all of the players affected by the substitute to ensure that everyone is made aware. Players who have already played in the week or were subbed out in the same week cannot be subbed back in.
  • If a match remains incomplete by the time of the deadline, it will be subject to an activity call.
  • Post replays. Not only are they useful for confirming wins, they contribute to usage stats and allow the people who couldn't watch the games live to watch them later. They're also required.

We are finally here - after 10 weeks since the tournament began (including the tiebreaker), this week is the conclusion where one of either Brazil or US West + Midwest will claim the crown of this year's LCWC.

Let's have a look at each team's run throughout the tournament:

Brazil
Week 1 - US West + Midwest (T)
Week 2 - US South (W)
Week 3 - France (W)
Week 5 - LATAM (T)
Week 6 - Nordics (T)
Week 7 - China (W)
Quarterfinals - Spain (W)
Semifinals - Canada (W)

US West + Midwest
Week 1 - Brazil (T)
Week 2 - China (T)
Week 3 - US South (W)
Week 4 - France (T)
Week 6 - LATAM (W)
Week 7 - Nordics (W)
Quarterfinals - India (W)
Semifinals - UK (W)

Both teams are unbeaten in the whole tournament, and finished on the same points / tied against each other during the group stage, so you can see how both teams deserved the final and why it's too close to call.

Brazil has proven that they mean business - coming from 0-3 in the Quarterfinals to dramatically win 5-3 against Spain, and coming from 3-3 to avoid a tiebreaker at the last second against Canada, they are in full confidence, and respectfully, showing that they do not need players like Starsama to make a run like this.

US West + Midwest have managed to avoid tiebreakers by winning 5-2 against India and 5-1 against UK, showing that they are keen to close weeks out on the spot. Like Brazil, their team will be full of confidence, and they know they are just one week away from winning it all.

Both teams have made the finals before, so they are familiar with the situation - there may some new faces, but that doesn't mean the quality of matches will change.

Having said that - predictions!

:quaxly: Brazil (4) vs (4) US West + Midwest :inkay:
SV LC: Skyiew vs bleahey
SV LC: Dugtrio Is Broken vs babyboyblues
SV LC: Astarion vs rarre
SS LC: westSasori vs tko
SM LC: Mattz_ vs vooper
ORAS LC: fate1q vs tazz
BW LC: Envy vs Luthier
DPP LC: mayo vs Melon

All of the matches are too close to call - good luck to both teams!
 
After my Successful Predictions of Little Cup World Cup Stage 2 Semifinals, I've decided that I will be doing predicts for the Little Cup World Cup Stage 3 Finals.

:quaxly: Brazil (6) vs (2) US West + Midwest :inkay:
SV LC: Skyiew vs bleahey - 60/40 - If you asked me if Skyiew would win on any Ubers LC match, I would say Yes. Definitely, although, this is normal LC. and my gut says that he will get the win.
SV LC: Dugtrio Is Broken vs babyboyblues - 51/49 - This is the match of Effort vs Consistency, I myself, will be betting on effort.
SV LC: Astarion vs rarre - 45/55 - I predicted for Astarion last week, and he lost. My house is now indebted. I also cant bold against rarre.
SS LC: westSasori vs tko - 52/48 - Both have vast experience with the tier, and both have delivered for their team. Sasori might have lost in semifinals, But I can see that flame on him.
SM LC: Mattz_ vs vooper - 55/45- Vooper might be good, will he be able to defeat the undefeated Mattz_? Only time will tell, I will be doing a safe bet.
ORAS LC: fate1q vs tazz - 40/60 - Yeah ok I cannot justify bolding fate1q. Tazz has a better record and fate1q only entered after subbing Magnus.
BW LC: Envy vs Luthier - HL MATCH!!! -50.00001/49.99999 - This is the Gojo vs Sukuna of LCWC Stage 3 Finals. Both can win this.
DPP LC: mayo vs Melon - Both have a similar record, the difference is that mayo already beat melon once this LCWC.


May the best team win. Despite my predicts, I am still hoping for a tiebreaker. Good luck to both teams.
 
Hey hey Smogon, I've been covering lots of LC over on my YouTube page and I decided to cover the Semis and Finals for LCWC, I'll leave the link for that here:



I also have commentated matches for Empty's Babymonathon Revival 1 (SV LC no Tera) and Babymonochrome (just BW LC.... not actually monochrome...) over on the YouTube page if you want more LC action.

Big shout out to Incognition for pushing me to cover this last bit of LCWC and emptywisdom for all that you do in the community and giving me the opportunity to cover lots of LC matches
