Tournament OMPL XIV - Week Five

Rex · Jun 14, 2026

It is recommended to play all games on SmogTours in the most current version of the format corresponding to those listed above. Games can be played on the Pokemon Showdown main server, but run higher risk of interference from server restarts/crashes.

Scheduling

Scheduling should be done on Smogon Profile walls, plain and simple:

- If there is communication on only one user's behalf, the win will go to them. Feel free to call activity in this thread beforehand

- If there is a very healthy back and forth regarding potential times and one user is a no-show, a manager may take the opportunity to sub out the no-show competitor; if this is not done, the user that showed up responsibly will be awarded the win.

TL;DR: Post on your opponent's Smogon wall, schedule your matches, and be reliable. If you can't play for any reason, let your manager know so they can sub you out ASAP.

Sportsmanship

Exhibitions of unsportsmanlike conduct with regards to the Other Metagame Premier League will be met with an infraction at the discretion of the OMPL host/OM mods. This is unlikely to include interactions within a team's private chat unless there is reason found to make an exception. This rule is meant to protect other users from being publicly flamed/bashed/provoked by another competitor for the duration of and following the tournament.

All players must complete their matches by the given deadline. Any incomplete matches by that time will be subject to an activity decision (MAKE SURE YOU POST ON YOUR OPPONENT'S WALL); otherwise, it will be a deadgame. All matches should ideally be done on your most notable alt to avoid confusion and all match replays must be saved and posted in this thread.

Substitutions & Lineups

Managers, if you wish to make any substitutions, you must post here tagging both the player you're subbing out, the player you're subbing in, the manager and assistant manager of the opposing team, the substitute's opponent, and all of the hosts. This is to assure that everyone is in-the-loop and that the OP is updated accordingly to reflect the new match-up.

Managers, when you send in lineups, please send it in with the tier and Smogon username of each player fully written out for ease of transcription.

Osake · Jun 15, 2026

11-12 last week + one activity win (i will not take the L on this one), it's the start of Osake's downfall

:gholdengo: Gholden Witches (4+1) vs (3) Rage Fist and Furious :annihilape:
AAA: shiloh vs subzero_slammer - I respect the fish and the Rattled Manaphy last week, but if Annihilapes are down to this kind of team I'm not sure they'll be able to do it every week
BH: FlamPoke vs Ivar57 - best player of the tour (pls help me in BH)
Camo: Maxomega vs blittius - same than with subzero - i respect the fish, it worked, but it cannot work every time
~~GG: about15gals vs pannu~~ - bruh
MnM: ChrisPBacon vs Glory - very cool matchup, both players have been doing rly well and ChrisPBacon might be the new goat of MnM, but I flipped a coin and it said Glory
PiC: NinjaSnapple vs Frixel - it's not Frixel's ompl unfortunately ; I've been told NinjaSnapple mostly used samples in previous weeks (?) and it's kinda criminal that she's up 3-1 like that but eh if it works it works
STAB: One Last Kiss vs sky - I liked sky's team last week (I like people who bring HO overall), even though Skysolo discovered half of the sets during the game
Bo3: pdt vs SammyCe123 - it's pdt's redemption, Sammy hasn't been on fire

:marshadow: Speiraskia Specters (4) vs (4) Commanders :tatsugiri:
AAA: Greybaum vs LordBox - LordBox out of the bench, I'm curious to see them back ; I think Greybaum is better in game and in the builder here though
BH: QT vs quojova - quojova is 2-2 and that is not okay for the goat of BH.
Camo: Terracotta vs Mossy Sandwich - Clas back to the bench again kek, Mossy refused the fair game against Siamato and I shouldn't bold him but if he brings a real team he's still been playing pretty well. E: nvm, Clas cancered. Cringe.
GG: Ducky vs entrocefalo - Ducky in OMPL !! but against the most dominant GG player this year apparently, so it'll be a tough game
MnM: TKYSZL vs hayedenn - don't bring meme mons and you win
PiC: tkhanh vs Chris32156 - super cool matchup between the 2 pic players I like the most to watch. I just feel like tkhanh's crazyness might have the edge here, but I don't really know
STAB: volcanionisgood vs Delibird Heart - idk who Delibird Heart is, so uhn, sorry
Bo3: Treeko928 vs damflame 3 - I kinda hope Treeko loses but he's been on fire

:glimmora: Noxious Nightshades (3) vs (5) MOCCing Machamps :machamp:
AAA: Iride vs Kinetic - noooo adriancosmoem is not there anymore... but Iride is a really good player too and idk I feel like the AAA slot of the Nightshades might be cooking, I'm predicting the upset
BH: RoFnA vs Quinn - Quinn has been impressive so far
Camo: Itoshiflwr vs The Hisui Region - losing 2 mons to specs PZ when you have a resttalk ting lu is unforgivable
GG: DragonPhoenix333 vs Mindnight - bring a better team pls not some lokix bullshit and you win
MnM: adriancosmoem vs seraphz - idk why they slotted themselves in mnm but they know things that I don't. I trust them. It's kinda unfair to seraphz who had a strong showing last week and is good in mnm but I trust my guts
PiC: SeaLife vs Chromate - better player
STAB: The Strap vs Baddy - at least Baddy kinda knows the sets that are around
Bo3: Jojen vs Betticus IV - only GigaBytes7 had a strong showing last week and I'm sad they aren't back there, I prob would've bolded them. idk who Jojen is, and I'm glad Betticus is back, I think they got this

Ducky · Jun 15, 2026

Think I went 15-13 last week so not terrible but not that good. this week is gonna be 100% tho

:gholdengo: Gholden Witches (4.5) vs (3.5) Rage Fist and Furious :annihilape:
AAA: shiloh vs subzero_slammer - shiloh has been playing better and i think theyre a better builder
BH: FlamPoke vs Ivar57 - could go either way but giving edge to Ivar
Camo: Maxomega vs blittius - think max has been playing slightly better
~~GG: about15gals vs pannu~~ - whatever
MnM: ChrisPBacon vs Glory - both good so going chris becuase of name
PiC: NinjaSnapple vs Frixel - idk
STAB: One Last Kiss vs sky - sky has been slightly better
Bo3: pdt vs SammyCe123 - both great but i like sammy here

:glimmora: Noxious Nightshades (2) vs (6) MOCCing Machamps :machamp:
AAA: Iride vs Kinetic - winetic would have liked to see adrian here for nightshades again, theyve been impressive
BH: RoFnA vs Quinn - quinn been better but i wouldnt be surprised to see a rofna win
Camo: Itoshiflwr vs The Hisui Region - did not like THR's last game
GG: DragonPhoenix333 vs Mindnight - better gg player
MnM: adriancosmoem vs seraphz - again idk why adrian is in mnm. seraphz wins here i think
PiC: SeaLife vs Chromate - always gonna bold this guy
STAB: The Strap vs Baddy - could go either way but the strap has been playing slightly better
Bo3: Jojen vs Betticus IV - idk jojen but im glad betticus is back in bo3

:charizard: Charming Charizzards (4) vs (4) Ao No Hakamo-o:kommo-o:
AAA: ghostlike vs O1V7O2X9O - ghostlike been playing slightly better
BH: The Guy Who Has Many Alts vs rightclicker - neither have been playing great so cant really predict
Camo: Siamato vs jb291 - siamato should have this
GG: Shadow079 vs Nashrock - nashrock's teams have been cool
MnM: qways vs zastra - has zastra found their footing?
PiC: Idyll vs LogIce - idk
STAB: Clem vs xdRudi.exe
Bo3: Osake vs TTTech - osake did not bold me this week so surely the gods punish them

pyu · Jun 15, 2026

:marshadow: Speiraskia Specters (4) vs (4) Commanders :tatsugiri:
AAA: Greybaum vs LordBox
BH: QT vs quojova - highlight matchup, both good players but i think quo is putting more work into the tour. QT can very easily win though
Camo: Terracotta vs Mossy Sandwich
GG: Ducky vs entrocefalo
MnM: TKYSZL vs hayedenn
PiC: tkhanh vs Chris32156
STAB: volcanionisgood vs Delibird Heart
Bo3: Treeko928 vs damflame 3 - i bolded treeko but please for the love of god beat this dude at BH

:glimmora: Noxious Nightshades (1) vs (7) MOCCing Machamps :machamp:
AAA: Iride vs Kinetic - insert "know the work rules" meme for us bringing 6-0d by specs ghold and kinetic bringing 6-0d by specs ghold but thats still my boy
BH: RoFnA vs Quinn
Camo: Itoshiflwr vs The Hisui Region
GG: DragonPhoenix333 vs Mindnight
MnM: adriancosmoem vs seraphz
PiC: SeaLife vs Chromate - chromate is sonning (or daughtering...happy pride month everybody) everyone in PiC but sealife is a former ghold
STAB: The Strap vs Baddy
Bo3: Jojen vs Betticus IV

:charizard: Charming Charizzards (4.5) vs (3.5) Ao No Hakamo-o :kommo-o:
AAA: ghostlike vs O1V7O2X9O - every time a heinous looking ghostlike build wins an angel loses its wings...that being said this is a tossup both are good for the pool and ghostlike has been excellent so far in this tour
BH: The Guy Who Has Many Alts vs rightclicker
Camo: Siamato vs jb291
GG: Shadow079 vs Nashrock
MnM: qways vs zastra - its funnier this way
PiC: Idyll vs LogIce - no clue
STAB: Clem vs xdRudi.exe - would be a highlight if this tier was good, clem better meta reads rudi better in game imo. cool matchup.
Bo3: Osake vs TTTech - tttech haxed us while osake won fairly, mathematically that means osake will win

seraphz · Jun 15, 2026

GhastlyPixie · Jun 15, 2026

:gholdengo: Gholden Witches (5) vs (3) Rage Fist and Furious :annihilape:
AAA: shiloh vs subzero_slammer
I think shiloh is the better player.
BH: FlamPoke vs Ivar57
Very tough call here but I’ve enjoyed watching both players sets. I lean towards FlamPoke because of city support.
Camo: Maxomega vs blittius
I think max is better.
~~GG: about15gals vs pannu~~
MnM: ChrisPBacon vs Glory
Chris is doing quite well but it is hard to bold against Glory.
PiC: NinjaSnapple vs Frixel
STAB: One Last Kiss vs sky
Bo3: pdt vs SammyCe123
I think pdt is starting to do better but Sammy is Sammy and I have faith in him.

:marshadow: Speiraskia Specters (5) vs (3) Commanders :tatsugiri:
AAA: Greybaum vs LordBox
I like greybaum teams more.
BH: QT vs quojova
Very hype mu, I almost never bold against QT tho.
Camo: Terracotta vs Mossy Sandwich
Terra is on a roll imo and I think I favor them here.
GG: Ducky vs entrocefalo
I don’t wanna bold against ducky but entro is good.
MnM: TKYSZL vs hayedenn
Hype mu #2 but I give the gold to Hayedenn.
PiC: tkhanh vs Chris32156
STAB: volcanionisgood vs Delibird Heart
Delibird heart is the goat.
Bo3: Treeko928 vs damflame 3
I think Treeko is doing extremely well and this is definitely in his favor.

:charizard: Charming Charizzards (2) vs (6) Ao No Hakamo-o:kommo-o:
AAA: ghostlike vs O1V7O2X9O
Ghostlike has cooler teams.
BH: The Guy Who Has Many Alts vs rightclicker
Tough call here. I like rc teams with tech support more but I also think Hallward is the better player.
Camo: Siamato vs jb291
jb has cracked the camo code which is just loading poryz.
GG: Shadow079 vs Nashrock
Nash is the goat and clears here.
MnM: qways vs zastra
Zastra is the goat and clears here.
PiC: Idyll vs LogIce
STAB: Clem vs xdRudi.exe
I think Clem has had a better showing.
Bo3: Osake vs TTTech
Tough call here, both players are quite good. I have to give it to Tech tho.

BH Reviews + Predicts

FlamPoke vs Treeko928

FlamPoke: LO Diancie + SF Gren
Treeko928: Psysurge HO
Treeko leads Arc which reveals Psysurge setter for HO, enabling Zam and blocking ESpeed. It gets chunked substantially but not KOed which will allow it to set terrain once more later. Zam comes in and deals a huge amount to Ting with Specs Fleur, and Treeko doubles to Diancie expecting Etern switch in (nothing else wants to even take -2 Fleur). Gigaton lure works though and Treeko is in a bit of a rough position since his team is slow without boosts, especially as Etern also reveals Glare. Unburden Lunala still forces it out and reveals giga Chloroblast sending Gren to hell. Zam comes in after Diancie rks and picks up Ting with Fleur again, leaving no Psychic immunities and so it cleans up later with EForce.

pdt vs QT

pdt: Fridge KyuW + Scarf Kart
QT: Band Gren
I'm not going to review this game even though its not a bad game to review.

XxLazzerpenguinxX vs quojova

XxLazzerpenguinxX: BoR Zam + PSea Gren VoltTurn
quojova: Triage PDon + Band Gren
Turns out having only RegenVest Celesteela as your SpD with no Ghost resist means Zam cleaves through the team. quojova is also unable to make any reasonable counter progress fast enough between a Koraidon for the Gren and the same Koraidon + Unaware Ghostceus stuffing Triage PDon. He puts up some resistance by blocking Sap with Bounce Ghostceus and winning tie to put Ghostceus to 1, however PDon even then cannot win because of PSea Gren revenge-killing, which is unfortunate as otherwise PDon can win by SDing in front of Koraidon and even without PP stalling Strength Sap can 2HKO between either +5 Bitter into +5 Bitter, or +4 Blades into +4 Bitter.

RoFnA vs Ivar57

RoFnA: Presumably Band Kart + DesoDon
Ivar57: Screens HO
Ivar shows up with screens again. RoFnA almost throws entire game going for a greedy Take Heart war due to packing Topsy but runs into Unaware Ghostceus. Chansey lives on 1 which allows him to somewhat reset. Bounce Chomp then poses a threat as it halves Waterceus, but the 1 hp Chansey puts in work again by sacking allowing Imp to come in. Ivar makes a good read and trades off Imp with Explosion Sash Diancie, which paves way for Chomp to pick up 3 more kills before dying to residual damage. Waterceus looks like it could do something (since Topsy allows it to indefinitely heal with Sap), but between Unaware Recover Ghostceus and Regen Screens Etern along with a KyuB it gets PP stalled.

GigaBytes7 vs SammyCe123

GigaBytes7: Inspired from Debris team of cityscapes
SammyCe123: Screens Psysurge HO
Sammy also shows up with screens with the same setter, except he also has the theme of Psysurge + a bunch of Unburden Seed users, though Metagross is certainly a choice for the setter. Bounce physical Ghostceus poses significant threats but Sammy didn't realize its an inspired team (given away by Flyceus) and is phazed by PDon, though this Ghostceus will remain an eternal threat. Sammy tries to win with his signature Yveltal set but gets phazed immediately as GigaBytes realizes whats up. This Yveltal also poses a threat though and is able to trap and PP stall Zamazenta out of Strength Sap (relevant). However it actually loses to interaction due to Triple Arrows crit rate not blocked by Cloak and the Zama packing Topsy. The Ghostceus comes back for more though and Sammy goes for the flinch and gets it with Arrows, but then gets outplayed completely between itemless PDon and Flutter and so fails to win. Unburden SD PDon is able to claim two kills due to Zama having no healing left but this could've been avoided if GigaBytes checked Imposter calc. But I don't think this matters as Unburden Kartana should clean anyways.

Quinn vs rightclicker

Quinn: Reuse of Betticus team vs damflame
rightclicker: Screens HO
rightclicker expectedly brought HO again, screens again. Quinn leading Unaware Ghostceus is strong though and it forces Poison and damage on Mold PDon through Screen, though trading damage is perhaps unnecessary with Shield Zama in the back. rightclicker comes in with Shield Dust Ghostceus which gets an extra NP on Salt Cure (though this Salt Cure is like kind of weird anyways?). Quinn makes a huge blunder assuming Shield Dust also blocks Clear Smog and loses Etern but isn't punished by getting lucky with Arc speedtie. PDon does get healed up by Lunar Dance but is just immediately poisoned again and though manages to pick up 2 KOs cannot survive LO and Poison. Norm Flutter cant make progress through Rev Dance Registeel (even worse its Pixie Plate in this meta) and Simple Etern is just walled by Ghostceus.

seraphz vs TTTech

seraphz: Debris PDon + BoR Zam
TTTech: Take Heart Sword Steelceus?
Both teams are very... interesting... seraphz having BoR Psystrike Zam paired with Debris (surely you want something that isnt checked by Steels) while Tech loads no real wincon again. TTTech gets some hazards up early and tries to spinblock Ting-Lu (not AV btw, FC) with Take Heart Steelceus but just wastes 5 recover PP due to Salt Cure?? and ends up trading Mortals with AV PDon. Turn 30 and 31 go disastrously for seraphz, as he takes 91% on Registeel to slow pivot into Zam and then make the wrong read, losing Zam and not even KOing PDon. This is effectively game over as Debris never does anything with the Etern (critically EE not Levi) and unblockable spin PDon.

13-10 last week.
Gholden Witches (3) vs (5) Rage Fist and Furious
AAA: shiloh vs subzero_slammer
Builds I might favour apes slightly but I think shiloh is still going to be more familiar with playing but this might just come down to matchup.
BH: FlamPoke vs Ivar57
Ivar is going undefeated other than losing week 1 (to the goat) and is actually seemingly in very good shape. The usage of HO particularly challenges the prep.
Camo: Maxomega vs blittius
Both players had good games last week and seemingly good prep. Close but I'll favour Sammy prep and build?
GG: about15gals vs pannu
MnM: ChrisPBacon vs Glory
Both players have been doing well but Glory's team selection has been more diverse and I think hes also doing the building/build stealing himself, close but I think motivation is stronger this side.
PiC: NinjaSnapple vs Frixel
I think Frixel brought an original team last week though I could be wrong but then ended getting cooked by Sun. Really not having a great tour. Also I think NinjaSnapple has built half their teams?
STAB: One Last Kiss vs sky
sky got some really sus luck but got helped by opponent not realizing what was going on for several turns so its hard to judge while OLK delivered the only loss of Basc last week in a Basc mirror, but seemed to play fine. I'm going to bold the side thats using more dumb mons.
Bo3: pdt vs SammyCe123
Sammy got matchuped by Psysurge again in MnM which is saying something but then had a devious AAA game and a dubious BH game. I think Sammy's AAA has been looking rather consistent and BH plays I favour him in the positioning games so I'll favour him.

Noxious Nightshades (2) vs (6) MOCCing Machamps
AAA: Iride vs Kinetic
Idk wtf Kinetic was building last week while his PiC Betticus was on vacation but hopefully he does not do that again. Iride in AAA at last is interesting but atp Nightshades are not as motivated.
BH: RoFnA vs Quinn
Quinn loaded a great team last week, but the mechanics miss is concerning and I fear it might actually cost a game, and RoFnA's teams haven't been exactly unsound and hes piloting fairly well.
Camo: Itoshiflwr vs The Hisui Region
Last week I bolded the person who swept with PZ vs the person who got swept with PZ and the person who swept with PZ swept the person who got swept with PZ using PZ, despite that person having a Ting-Lu but sacking 2 mons anyways. I think I will bold against them again.
GG: DragonPhoenix333 vs Mindnight
Mindnight game looked interesting even though I don't recollect it being linked. I think their plays have been more consistent than DP.
MnM: adriancosmoem vs seraphz
PiC: SeaLife vs Chromate
I don't think I watched the Chromate game live and it looks nuanced. They are having a good tour though and while SeaLife picked up their win last week and it was crushing there is a bit of a factor of opponent seemingly checked out.
STAB: The Strap vs Baddy
The Strap is playing to his abilities but they seem still unfamiliar with stuff. Baddy's game was close came down to some intense endgame with predicts and such. Although not even bothering to answer Basculegion while having stuff giving entry is concerning.
Bo3: Jojen vs Betticus IV
GigaBytes actually did quite well last week but is no longer playing. Jojen has some decent showings in BH before but I don't believe builds much, while Betticus is actually having the most success in BH of all tiers. Then he should also have a good advantage in AAA.

Charming Charizzards (3) vs (5) Ao No Hakamo-o
AAA: ghostlike vs O1V7O2X9O
Think O1's showing looked better last week with plays and such.
BH: The Guy Who Has Many Alts vs rightclicker
Hallward builds have actually looked pretty effective, and playing wise I also think hes better here, especially considering his solid performance in the game he played outside of a critical error. I think given its Hallward he could also prep and get a matchup advantage on top.
Camo: Siamato vs jb291
Siamato turns out to be the biggest smurf of the tour and will surely not lose to Porygon-Z.
GG: Shadow079 vs Nashrock
Nashrocks prep and games have seemed strong and consistent.
MnM: qways vs zastra
zastra has given up on cooking and resorted to desperation by loading rain to pick up his first win. Yet I'm still bolding him help. If he doesn't overcook like what hayedenn did I think he will bring some cool stuff to watch.
PiC: Idyll vs LogIce
I'm not caught up on PiC, but yuki subbing out has to mean not going to be active enough to build or prep? and I've heard rumors of Idyll's team earlier this tour being an old reuse.
STAB: Clem vs xdRudi.exe
Clem is bringing crazy stuff while Rudi is evidently not against loading stuff that were getting banned which is good mentality in this tier. I think this is very close but ill bold the madman.
Bo3: Osake vs TTTech
Both players ended up losing last week. I did not like TTTech's BH team at all but he got the win anyways and he's probably still favoured in that. I think AAA games were both intense while both MnM games looked rough. So I'm going to base it off of that BH matchup.

:greninja-ash: Siamato's camomons french frog review :greninja-ash:

Bored so reviving this review from a past time (OMPL VII I think).

Game 1

TheHisuiRegion's team	Jb291's team
:annihilape:	:alomomola:
:alomomola:	:reuniclus:
:ting-lu:	:dondozo:
:kingambit:	:hatterene:
:latias:	:cinderace:
:great tusk:	:porygon-z:

Team commenting:

Jb291 keeps recycling teams meaning he's either putting very low effort in the tour either he's super confident about his past team and over himself to win wether or not they know the team. I immediately remembered this team cuz he played it against me during OMCL (though maybe he changed Cind's typing). Overall, the team is quite solid and should be effective against any non-mainer. I dislike Cind's typing that he doing nothing at all outside from being a U-Turn bot but ig that's all you need with Specs PZ to punch holes.

TheHisuiRegion keeps going with bulky structures trying to counter the meta. The team does look okay even though, at preview, we can already worry hazards control and long term sustainibility cuz everything seems to rely on Mola to Wishpass.

The game:

Let's immediately adress the elephant in the room:

Honestly yeah, I wonder what was THR's train of thought here and I would be very curious to know what I missed cuz, at the moment, I still can't explain those 2 first turns unless fakenagol, doing the exact same thing W1, was their master idk.
The game went on as THR finally went to an Ice resist to stop PZ rampage here and revealed the monke. I first thought it was Covert Cloak to be super super safe vs Garg but then Hatt paralyzed it with Nuzzle and I was very confused on what could be the item. Everything finally "made sense", T24, when THR revealed U-Turn on Annihilape. I was like "No... Really? Is that REALLY Scarf Ape?!". Turns out it was and THR cooking was real (I think the kitchen is burning though). From, there, nothing really interesting happens cuz Jb went to make it super clean and boosting Rage Fist could be super bad considering he lacks a Ghost resist. THR then reveals, about 50 turns later that his Scarf Ape is Rest meaning he could still try to sweep with enough Rage Fist boost. Jb however uses Rest as an opportunity to enter PZ and click Trick on the incoming Ting-Lu to later find a way. Turns out maybe Jb didn't catch Ape was Scarf cuz he let PZ against it and died on Rage Fist. THR revealed double Scarf with Latias but unfort Cind absorbed the Trick which is quite good for Jb. THR finally decide to go for the Ape sweep after Jb withdrawn Dozo against Latias spamming DM and doing too much. Unfort, Jb found a plan to stop that by going Scarf Cind (thus faster than Scarf Ape) and clicking Court-Change to get the Ghost immunity and prevent Rage Fist spam!! T139 and after losing Hatt to an outplay attempt, jb got a decisive turn right and managed to put Dozo in front of Mola to click Curse to win the game cuz Ape cannot punch through a Dozo already boosted.

Honestly, insane game. Beginning was so fucked up by THR but yet they managed to come back thanks to crazy ideas jb couldn't catch to finally lose on what could be considered a 50/50.

Game 2

Clas's team	Maxomega's team
:slowking-galar:	:slowking-galar:
:pecharunt:	:glastrier:
:urshifu:	:hydrapple:
:weezing-galar:	:latias:
:ting-lu:	:cinderace:
:thundurus:	:mew:

Team commenting:

2 balanced teams at preview.

It feels like Clas made a volturn team with a lot of momentum and Ting to set hazards. Gking could be Futur Sight at preview cuz otherwise idk what Shifu is doing into Mola for instance.

Maxomega's team is a bit weird cuz Mew and Glastrier doesn't have recovery meaning they won't last long while having a long term Regecore and Latias. Speaking of Glastrier, it's definitely questionnable when a mon like Zama exists and would perhaps fix speed issue Maxo's team seems to have.

Both team are looking okay but I trust more Clas's team here to push holes with Fsight + Shifu while I don't see a clear path for Maxo to make progress, maybe Glastrier though.

The game:

After a well played T1, Clas reveals the super weird type

on Gking. At first, I was like: "Damn, someone managed to run a worst type than blittius W3, when he got oblitarated by PZ". Then, I thought about it again and was like: "Okay that's still not good but I kinda get the point". The purpose of such type is to still blank most special attackers while having Fsight STAB which is fair even though not very good for sure. Using Slack Off for typing allowed Gking to run coverage that turned out to be Flamethrower, weakening Mew with a crit. The game goes on and Maxo is put under pressure by Clas's momentum. Maxomega revealed a non fully defensive Hydrapple, being almost 2HKO by Urshifu (not Band) which is quite bad imo. He had to sack Latias to finally stop Shifu ; especially cuz Gking, the mon resisting Shifu super well, was prob fully SpD meaning he couldn't handle Shifu super well (

Gking is a bad SpD sponge btw). Glastrier managed to get a SD up on Shifu and pick a kill on Gzing which is quite bad for Clas. Maxo then outplayed by going Cind on Specs Thundy GK and clicking U-Turn to keep momentum and still have the option to go super light Mew if they dared stay-in. Tbh, this sequence was poorly played by Clas imo as staying on Cind while being locked on GK made no sense at all. He just lost a mon that was very good into Maxo's team for no reason. Clas tried to setup hazards with garbage defensive type Ting Lu, in order to find a way to keep the pressure. Then Clas didn't find a way to break through the GkingApple core while not having any SI to them (he had no Poison Gking SI at all). Mons get poisoned and Clas eventually lost the game.

I felt like Clas had this but played this quite poorly while revealing structural weaknesses on his team that ended up getting exploited by Maxomega after some great plays from them.

Game 3

Blittius's team	DragonPhoenix333's team
:torkoal:	:masquerain:
:walking wake:	:samurott-hisui:
:raging bolt:	:rillaboom:
:great tusk:	:zamazenta:
:slither wing:	:ceruledge:
:lilligant-hisui:	:lycanroc-dusk:

Team commenting:

Sun vs Sticky MU!

Sticky is quite an unviable playstyle due to boots spam and fast mon being often Levitate so it's quite surprising to see a Sticky team. Seems like it's a mono physical sticky team which is quite weird tbh and, given the structure at preview, he can already assume there is at least 2 Fighting types making things a bit redundant even though breakers help each other this way (or get permanently walled by the same thing).

On Blittius's side, dumb HO, like, really dumb. No pivot or anything subtile, JUST POWER. 4 Proto mons + Lilli. Lilli is an interesting choice that is quite good at countering the meta with its base typing ; even though Venusaur does feels more consistent and easier to setup usually.

Dunno who's favored here but I think sun could win thanks to Bolt's prio and Lilli still being fast under sticky.

The game:

Classic beginning with sun and sticky set. Bolt comes on Sticky Web and reveals its part Grass, the most violent variant of Bolt but the one relying the most on sun being up to not be dead ass. DragonPhoenix then did the mistake of believing H-Sam would live LO Proto Spa Tclap (this was a 81% roll for kiling) and outright dies, not putting a layer of Spikes or anything. Perhaps it was Sucker H-Sam and DragonPhoenix was trying to force some 50/50 but well, didn't end well for them. DragonPhoenix then goes Rilla, that was prob the best choice from the beginning, to rk Bolt. Blittius sacks Slither that was realistically not doing anything there, being too slow, to keep Bolt's priority in late game. Lilli comes in and clicks big Solar Blade but Zama takes the hit. DragonPhoenix then double on Ceru, scared of Lilli being still faster and killing dog with CC. However Blittius went for Tusk. DragonPhoenix was Air Balloon Ceru meaning he could try setting up on Tusk or just chipping it. He thus went for Bitter Blade doing less than 50%, even under sun, to get deleted by Knock Off, quite unexpected on sun Tusk. Dog comes back for some reason and let Tusk spin for free. This results in an instant lose considering Wake got his Proto Speed back.

Blittius played that correctly while DragonPhoenix did not and got caught off guard by Tusk's Knock. Mono physical Sticky with 3 Fighting has to be wrong.

Game 4

Mossy Sandwich's team	Siamato's team
:glimmora:	:zamazenta:
:torterra:	:tyranitar:
:iron valiant:	:excadrill:
:kingambit:	:alomomola:
:mew:	:iron crown:
:iron boulder:	:mew: ??

Team commenting:

Obvious HO with Glimmora lead from Mossy. We have the super cool Torterra that was completely unexpected to see. Rest feels quite classic for HO, expect Boulder maybe. Very straightforward HO from Mossy that relies on setup and go.

On my side, I chose to go with sand, cuz I had a feeling Mossy could try again to HO my ass like he did in OMCL final last year. I decided to go sand balanced to not rely too much on sand to do something. IronPress dog felt good in sand and very good into offense so he fit naturally. Mola wish passing to Ttar, Crown and Mew to ensure some sustainibility vs bulkier teams that could have trouble preventing the Wish pass.

The game:

I was expecting Glimmora lead so I went with Crown in order to kill it without activating Toxic Debris that could be a little annoying (I had only one mon weak to Tspikes). Turned out Glimmora was part Ground and able to delete Crown lol. I still got bold and stayed in clicking Tachyon and turned out it was good cuz Mossy just went with rocks. Boulder coming was a bit scary but Mola was fine taking EQ even at +2 so that's my logical and obvious play. Mossy read that perfecty to double on Torterra, revealing a scary

typing. I was super scared but I realized Zama can take Headlong at +2 cuz it's not STAB. Mossy indeed tried to go for Shell Smash and revealed the White Herb, confirming Headlong is the coverage move (had to be tbh). He switched back to Mew to handle Zama and I used that as an opportunity to finally put the sand. He got scared and went to Boulder but Dtail brought back Torterra. Mossy prob tried to predict another Dtail to prevent Tort from setting up but I revealed TW and caught Fairy Valiant coming in. Another good double from Mossy to Boulder on my Crown switch to try setting up and break through. However, he just went with EQ and Mola was able to take 2. Mossy thus sacked Valiant on Exca coming through Flip Turn and tried to setup Mew vs Excadrill, knowing the sand was almost off. I sacked Ttar to put the sand back and went back to Exca to beat Mew while preventing Tort from setting up. Kingambit turned out to be Shuca Berry which is the standard set but I had to take somes chips in order to kill it later. I sacked Crown cuz useless at this point and went Zama to kill with BP. From this point, Zama is winning cuz I can just IronDefense and, outside from a para or a confus from Mew, it's just winning. Mew went for Hurricane but missed, losing his last chance to win.

I feel like Mossy got too hasty, trying to setup Tort early while Zama didn't come on the field yet and still had DS boost to take it. Could have been different if he managed to position Tort well while Zama wasn't boosted anymore.

Hope we won't see anymore people losing to PZ while they have a check

Have a good day!
