Week 1 | Week 2 | Week 3 | Week 4 | Week 5 | Week 6 | Week 7 | Semifinals | Finals
Information Thread | Roster | Schedule | Standings | Replays

​
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.​

im 24-23 in cumulative records, which is not good but better than UT so ig I'll take that...

:gholdengo: (5) Gholden Witches vs Noxious Nightshades (3) :glimmora:
AAA: shiloh vs. adriancosmoem - I've been quite impressed by adriancosmoem plays, and while i'm not a huge fan of their teams, shiloh didn't play last week and might still be rusty
BH: FlamPoke vs. RoFnA - Nightshades seem to struggle in BH while FlamPoke is 2-0 (even if sevag mostly choked the game last week) so II'd say they're a bit ahead here
Camo: Maxomega vs. DragonPhoenix333 - DP333 won last week and was fine, I'm not sure of the reasoning for putting him in Camo. Maybe they play it a bit but certainly less than Maxomaga, who even if he brained beta by forgotting to put the Fire type on Slither Wing in the calc (:psycry:) is bringing cool teams so I must root for him
GG: about15gals vs. Iride - close matchup in theory but I still lack informations on both players in GG. I'd say I favor Iride in game, esp with DP333 help
MnM: ChrisPBacon vs. Itoshiflwr - itoshi brought a cool team and won last week, but now they're playing mnm ? I have no idea of their level, while ChrisPBacon brought a good prep and played it well last week
PiC: NinjaSnapple vs. SeaLife - idk it's pic
STAB: One Last Kiss vs. The Strap - good players but OLK prob knows the tier better
Bo3: pdt vs. GhastlyPixie - I don't see how Ghastly, who's struggling in BH, could perform better in bo3. On the other hand, a tilted pdt is prob the best opponent to take down in this pool so it might be the moment to bounce back

:kommo-o: (4) Ao No Hakamo-o vs Rage Fist and Furious (4) :annihilape:
AAA: O1V7O2X9O vs. subzero_slammer - i don't think benching all of ur aaa players week after week is an effective method. Maybe one of them will win at some point, but I think it just shows the weaknesses of Rage Fist and Furious draft and I'm afraid they won't make it to playoffs
BH: rightclicker vs. Ivar57 - I've always said Ivar was goated at the game (heard yesterday : "ivar do be the modern goat of oms after jrdn / stresh")
Camo: jb291 vs. blittius - same as in AAA, putting another player that no one knows / hasn't played the tier ever might work at some point but is not a viable strategy and I'm afraid they won't get a lot of wins in this slot either
GG: Nashrock vs. pannu - pannu was mad at me cuz I said they got smoked - I'm sorry. You'll win this week king
MnM: TrainerGoldAlt vs. Glory - NOOOOO zastra... idk if it's a temporary self bench for availability / tilt issues or if it's definitive, but idk the sub so I'll have to bold Glory
PiC: LogIce vs. Frixel - idk it's pic
STAB: xdRudi.exe vs. sky - Rudi is cooking
Bo3: TTTech vs. SammyCe123 - TTTech won Slam but didn't have to beat Sammy - it's his moment to prove that he didn't get bailed out by Clas doing the upset. Unfortunately, I don't think he has what it takes to do that

:machamp: (4) MOCCing Machamps vs Commanders (4) :tatsugiri:
AAA: Kinetic vs. mielke - just the better player I think
BH: Quinn vs. quojova - impressive upset by Quinn, if they do it back to back it'll be amazing ; but even if quo lost last week, I still think he's top 1 / top 2 of the BH pool
Camo: The Hisui Region vs. Mossy Sandwich - Mossy has been really impressive, I didn't like THR's team last week and Terracotta mostly choked the game
GG: Mindnight vs. entrocefalo - tough matchup but I'll root for Mind
MnM: seraphz vs. hayedenn - hayedenn
PiC: Chromate vs. Chris32156 - I bolded against Chromate. I'm sorry. Won't do it again.
STAB: Baddy vs. seth - Baddy had a rough start but this wekk they'll bounce back I trust them
Bo3: Betticus IV vs. damflame 3 - damflame played it quite well against Sammy last week and lost to Triple Arrows bullshit (although it's kinda on him for having no reliable answers) ; Betticus tied in AAA and then brought fat + stall, I can't root for that I'm sorry

happy pride month btw

Brief BH Reviews + Predicts
1780355584113.png
FlamPoke vs XxLazzerpenguinxX
1780355611154.png

FlamPoke: MG Palkia-O + nothing
XxLazzerpenguinxX: QT's Week 1 team but with PDon Korai replaced with Band Chomp Zama
FlamPoke's Palkia makes crazy progress immediately since Sevag takes 80 and burn on Ting, sacks Steelceus, takes 92 and burn on Giratina, before realizing its MG and ends up going Imposter anyways. Chomp is actually scary since FlamPoke doesn't have a FC?, but its Adamant and forced out by Jolly PDon. Giratina low health means Zama ends up taking Poison, and due to needing Imposter to handle Palkia (who gets PP stalled) it ends up at low health and actually losing the interaction against Scales Normceus despite the latter being Salt Cured so Sevag sacks two more mons. Remaining 100 turns becomes a slogfest as FlamPoke eventually grinds out the last 3 mons, I really cba to not just click through so I'm not going to analyze any misplays that happened during this time.

1780356189449.png
pdt vs Osake
1780356172512.png

pdt: Looks like Specs Diancie (due to Scales Steelceus)
Osake: SF Deo + Shield Dust Steelceus
Game starts with standard utility mon dance and this happens a lot in between interesting parts. Osake Steelceus reveals Shield Dust and poses massive problems to pdt as plate is not revealed (its Earth so DesoDon not a check) so only healthy Zama into chipped Arc works. Deo has Torque, scouts the Prank Steela, and then gets the predict on recover to snipe it with Pyro Ball (not sure why it also has Torque). The two Giras trade against each other which really can't be a good thing for pdt since he needs that to improof PDon (and if healthy and unpoisoned a Deo check) while Osake doesn't really need it. Deo claims another kill but is using the weak Psychic so PDon actually lives (Luster gets the kill on the same roll), but its irrelevant since Steelceus wins anyways since Zama is dead. If it was specs diancie then it really needed to find opportunities to click buttons since Osake's team is not very durable into it with correct reads.

1780356718409.png
rightclicker vs GhastlyPixie
1780356733373.png

rightclicker: HO
GhastlyPixie: Looks like Specs Diancie + Debris
rightclicker gets strong start with rocks up, living Steam with Sash and not getting burned thus threatening Espeed to kill Diancie, and then Pixie not claiming kill with Etern presumably predicting ESpeed again and gets blown up. Simple SD Zama shows up and is threatening but is temporarily neutered by Red Card. Pixie's PDon doesn't go for kill on opposing Pdon though instead greeding a sap and ends up costing Pdon, 35% on Regi, and 71% on Arc, the latter cleaned up by Scarf Kart. Without Ghostceus and Etern, rightclickers Ghostceus always wins.

1780357064443.png
Quinn vs QT
1780357074903.png

Quinn: HO
QT: HO
Quinn gets lead advantage in a HO mirror due to having faster Prank lead, and also blows up QTs Diancie trying to get a cheeky Spin. This actually just seals the game due to Normalize Flutter Mane unchecked.

1780357157703.png
Betticus IV vs Treeko928
1780357175963.png

Betticus IV: Tinted Behemoth Kartana
Treeko928: Week 1 team, Tinted Kartana

This semi mirror would've been more interesting (and painful with amount of pivoting and positioning needed) if Betticus didn't have Cloak over Shield on Pert making his Kartana lack Sunsteel and also lacking check to opposing Sunsteel. So this game just degrades to who gets Kartana in more and who has more sacks for the two mons to bash each other's team. It turns out Audino is a really big bait. Spikes Audino losing to Mortal Ghostceus is atrocious to see btw.

1780357401065.png
quojova vs Ivar57
1780357432928.png

quojova: Knock Spike Ghostceus, unsure if its offensive PDon
Ivar57: Webs + SD Kart SD PDon
What this game can be summarized to is Ivar gets up webs and does scary things with setup sweepers but loses Kartana to a speed tie, then PDon gets some good plays, claims on opposing PDon, but dies to another speed tie. However apparently PDon is the counterplay to Take Heart Etern, and with that fainted it wins on the spot. But really, Thunder Cage Sludge Bomb Etern?

1780360884071.png
damflame 3 vs SammyCe123
1780360900019.png

damflame 3: Superman, kind of
SammyCe123: There is no proper wincon
I did not like either of these teams at all, but it did end up being the most interesting game to spectate. damflame brought a very superman looking team that ends up trying to be one but its not Levi Steelceus its FC and its not Boots Palkia its Leftovers..? Meanwhile Sammy's team looks like its wincon Kartana but for god knows why its Scarf so it does nothing. Sammy gets some early Arrows luck, Ghostceus reveals to be useless due to Topsy Yveltal. Sammy gets into a bad position due to Spiking into Bounce Palkia which looks to be incredibly threatening if not outright winning with the hazards up, but its Salt Cure and Leftovers?? so it loses to Imposter. Sammy gets some more Arrows luck, then damflame makes a play sacking Palkia essentially to sapblock Ghostceus to kill it, even though Yveltal always hard walled this is reasonable since it removes the Zama improof. Scarf Kartana comes in and damflame sacks the reliable answer FC Steelceus, which I feel like is inaccurate when it was revealed Scarf damage turn 3 and can be midgrounded with Imp/Steela at that turn. T46-47 Sammy bluffs crazy by going into Kartana to spinblock Imposter Zama forcing damflame out with threat of Trick Scarf. A few turns later we enter this long period where Sammy's Zama is a wincon due to no good Arrows switch in outside of Imposter, which is poisoned and thus plays the 50/50 turns into Sammy's proper improof Palkia and sapblocker Chansey. Sammy ends up getting most key turns correct, and with even more Arrows luck gets strong position while just barely having enough Arrows PP, which he converts into a Kartana kill on Yveltal. This effectively seals the game since damflame can no longer get Spikes, which would've been powerful with Zama spinblocked by Steela. Sammy reveals one more trick with Lunar Dance Kartana to refresh Arrows PP to really secure that win.


Last week 8-14 :clown:
Gholden Witches (6) vs (2) Noxious Nightshades
AAA: shiloh vs. adriancosmoem
Not sure what happened last week for vanilla Ting (I'm fairly certain thats a mistake) to show up. Its close since adrian lost to terrible Betticus team but shiloh needing to be subbed last week is negative aura.
BH: FlamPoke vs. RoFnA
Why is RoFnA in BH out of all places. I'm not a big fan of FlamPoke's team last week and the game was messy from both sides, but he for sure has more support and motivation here. Also RoFnA's big builder is now slotted so less likely to have good pass.
Camo: Maxomega vs. DragonPhoenix333
DP in Camo..? Like I'm sure from previous experience this is actually dangerous but Maxomega has more experience and last weeks team was a cook, think his cooks can work again against a non-mainer.
GG: about15gals vs. Iride
I think Iride plays the ND version of GG, but that's tmk fairly different and about evidently has some crazy stuff ready in the builder with that Salazzle last week, even if that game was a good matchup with Slowking.
MnM: ChrisPBacon vs. Itoshiflwr
Again not sure if I understand at all what this big tier shuffling is when the players won. ChrisPBacon seems to be doing solid in the tier.
PiC: NinjaSnapple vs. SeaLife
I didn't watch SeaLife game last week live which makes it much harder to gauge what happened (bc im lazy and i dont want to take a hour figuring out the plays) but it looked one-sided, while Ninja seemingly bringing a new team had a pretty dominant matchup and idt fumbled at all.
STAB: One Last Kiss vs. The Strap
Negative points for unlisting again, while still not relisting the previous week.
Bo3: pdt vs. GhastlyPixie
I think it would be really funny for pdt to lose here (give us aerobee) and I would root for GhastlyPixie, but she hasn't been in her top form I believe and last weeks game was messy and I think thats her most favourable tier here.

Ao No Hakamo-o (6) vs (2) Rage Fist and Furious
AAA: O1V7O2X9O vs. subzero_slammer
I have so limited knowledge of who subzero slammer is and this repeated rotating seems dubious (I also don't know where cat is?). Hakamo aaa slot also not very inspirational though with repeatedly recycling old builds despite having knowledgable player and builders. But knowledge gap is surely going to kick in regardless (also another week to recycle there's no way they can easily recognize teams :) ).
BH: rightclicker vs. Ivar57
rightclicker has switched to his usual self which is probably a good thing for him, but its actually fairly predictable what kind of sets can show up, and also its Ivar, who did make a pretty interesting team even if it seems to have been heavily inspired. That being said Ivar has almost lost to offense merchants before so this is closer than one might think.
Camo: jb291 vs. blittius
jb got destroyed by PZ which is like a pretty common threat so something is up there but this player cycling is prone to knowledge gap, though the team looked better so could be close depending on mu.
GG: Nashrock vs. pannu
pannu brought a kind of interesting team but proceeded to get rolled, and also seems to be tilting. For that I'm bolding Nashrock even though he also lost by getting outoffensed.
MnM: TrainerGoldAlt vs. Glory
zastra benched LMAO. Gold is a main so its not going to be knowledge gap sub but Glory had a good game last week and seems to favour the tier.
PiC: LogIce vs. Frixel
I really dont know if Frixel has that much investment, last week team is the DFM snow from 2 OMPLs ago. LogIce had a good game.
STAB: xdRudi.exe vs. sky
Espathra is crazy work. I'm sure sky will put up a good fight though with his first game, though the team's teams have looked more dubious.
Bo3: TTTech vs. SammyCe123
Tech is lowkey on fire (unlike his co). AAA still Sammy favoured I think because the teams have looked stronger, but MnM I did not like Sammys team while Tech's prep seems to be on point, and obviously BH Sammy's creation last week was not inspiring, and Tech unlocking his HO potential from Slam is a powerful asset for sure.

MOCCing Machamps (4) vs (4) Commanders
AAA: Kinetic vs. mielke
mielke seems to be catching up the tier rather fast and Box builds too. Think I still slightly favour Kinetic though.
BH: Quinn vs. quojova
Quinn had a good matchup last week while quojova had a bad matchup, but I still think quojova is favoured, although I think its very marginal if not favoured for Quinn if quo continues to load these SS-esque teams with no clear wincons and just grinding opponents out despite not having broken tool Poison Heal.
Camo: The Hisui Region vs. Mossy Sandwich
Mossy has been dominant and THR though won relied on choke (granted they played accurately from there) when I think had an advantage matchup.
GG: Mindnight vs. entrocefalo
Mindnight loaded like an Atha team despite team having builders which doesn't spell confidence and still needed luck and choke to win. entrocefalo's supposed external builder seems to be doing him well.
MnM: seraphz vs. hayedenn
seraphz is really good but I do think that if hayedenn doesn't overcook they can get a matchup advantage.
PiC: Chromate vs. Chris32156
This is probably really close, since Chris team and plays seem solid, problem is again i didn't live watch that game.
STAB: Baddy vs. seth
Baddy kind of got cooked last week but seth gets negative points for winpost.
Bo3: Betticus IV vs. damflame 3
Was not a very big fan of damflames AAA and BH teams. Betticus is burning kitchen in BH but I still liked his build more. MnM should be damflame favoured slightly.

:charizard: Charming Charizzards (2) vs (6) Speiraskia Specters :marshadow:
AAA: ghostlike vs. MZ
I think MZ is in general fairly good but I’m not sure they can outprep ghostlike.
BH: The Guy Who Has Many Alts vs. Treeko928
I think Hallward is more proficient in a tour setting as opposed to a casual setting but I ultimately think Treeko is the better builder and clicker here.
Camo: Siamato vs. Terracotta
Both players are performing quite well imo but I can’t in good faith not bold Siamato.
GG: Shadow079 vs. XYStarshine
Both players are doing well but Starshine is one of the top GG players imo.
MnM: qways vs. Mincera31
I think mincera is better but this could go either way.
PiC: yuki vs. tkhanh
I think this just comes to mu which I give to tk cuz they prep well.
STAB: Clem vs. volcanionisgood
Clem is traumatized from stab and volcanion is on a roll.
Bo3: Osake vs. QT
I don’t think I’ve seen any mu where I’ve felt the need to not bold QT, I’m not underestimating Osake tho. I think QT is favored in BH and MNM while Osake is favored in AAA.

:kommo-o: Ao No Hakamo-o (6) vs (2) Rage Fist and Furious :annihilape:
AAA: O1V7O2X9O vs. subzero_slammer
The team the rage fist loaded last week felt like it had some glaring weaknesses and for that I favor O1 here but could go either way.
BH: rightclicker vs. Ivar57
I think in general Ivar is better but if RC loads HO then it is winnable.
Camo: jb291 vs. blittius
Idk blittus and I know jb plays camo fairly well usually but can occasionally miss big threats in the builder so we will see.
GG: Nashrock vs. pannu
Pannu had a cool build last week but things didn’t go well. I’ve liked the plays from Nashrock more so I favor them.
MnM: TrainerGoldAlt vs. Glory
Glory is all in all a better player imo and the team he loaded last week seemed solid so I favor him.
PiC: LogIce vs. Frixel
LogIce seems to be performing better.
STAB: xdRudi.exe vs. sky
I think rudi has had better teams so far but could go either way, idk stab that well.
Bo3: TTTech vs. SammyCe123
Tech is doing quite well while Sammy has loaded some characters.

:machamp: MOCCing Machamps (3) vs (5) Commanders :tatsugiri:
AAA: Kinetic vs. mielke
I think Kinetic is better and I like his teams more than box teams.
BH: Quinn vs. quojova
Quinn can definitely pull a win depending on mu but Quojova is definitely the better player.
Camo: The Hisui Region vs. Mossy Sandwich
Can go either way, both are good players but I think mossy chokes less.
GG: Mindnight vs. entrocefalo
I think entro has had better teams and I like their clicks a bit more than minds.
MnM: seraphz vs. hayedenn
Hayedenn is better imo, I think Seraphz needs more mnm support but they are definitely not out of the race.
PiC: Chromate vs. Chris32156
I think both players have done well but I simply can’t not bold chromate.
STAB: Baddy vs. seth
Baddy has not done as well as Seth imo.
Bo3: Betticus IV vs. damflame 3
Both players are good. I think Betticus is favored in aaa while Damflame is favored in mnm, normally I’d favor Damflame for BH but I think Betticus has been a bit more sound in the builder.

Answering in character? 10, why are they like this :sob:
Answering out of character: 2, they’re mostly harmless and very funny

not explaining this time, knicks in 4 it's fuck okc everyday on god
 
low effort predicts - pride edition

:gholdengo: Gholden Witches (7) vs (1) Noxious Nightshades :glimmora:
AAA: shiloh vs. adriancosmoem - pride month is like sozin's comet for queer people but shiloh is the avatar
BH: FlamPoke vs. RoFnA - flampoke is not queer. however he is queer adjacent and also asked me to bold him. asking for a queer's blessing during pride month is like asking god for a miracle - it might not work but when it works it WORKS
Camo: Maxomega vs. DragonPhoenix333 - just a hunch
GG: about15gals vs. Iride - 15 gals . all in a polycule . celebr ating roide motnh. i love yuri
MnM: ChrisPBacon vs. Itoshiflwr - ive bolded against crispy bacon like twice and i think they won both times so
PiC: NinjaSnapple vs. SeaLife - one thing about me is i love the sea. however ill fuck up a snapple sometimes. snapple nourishes the gays.
STAB: One Last Kiss vs. The Strap - doomed yuri/yaoi username lowkey... i fw it
Bo3: pdt vs. GhastlyPixie - again - pix is a diva, icon and queer during our sozin's comet, but pdt is azula coded

:charizard: Charming Charizzards (2) vs (6) Speiraskia Specters :marshadow:
AAA: ghostlike vs. MZ - mz slotted in we're so back
BH: The Guy Who Has Many Alts vs. Treeko928 - idc how god he is im not bolding all of those words
Camo: Siamato vs. Terracotta - bolding against siamato in camo would make me feel like the "that motherfucker back there is not real" person
GG: Shadow079 vs. XYStarshine - starshine is fire
MnM: qways vs. Mincera31 - i think mincera's main expertise is old gen mnm? and qways' is too? this is honestly a toss up bc both players have impressed me and idk if either gets pride month buffs. i flipped a coin
PiC: yuki vs. tkhanh - yuki is one of the queers spiritually #ally
STAB: Clem vs. volcanionisgood - would not complain if clem won though
Bo3: Osake vs. QT - I LOVE THE ENBYS

:kommo-o: Ao No Hakamo-o (3) vs (5) Rage Fist and Furious :annihilape:
AAA: O1V7O2X9O vs. subzero_slammer - idk the other person but z moves were two gens ago
BH: rightclicker vs. Ivar57 - i love ivar
Camo: jb291 vs. blittius - i thought this was betti for a hot moment. anyway jb is p good i think
GG: Nashrock vs. pannu - unfortunately pannu ascends in power during pride month
MnM: TrainerGoldAlt vs. Glory - glory won last week and idk if the other person gets pride buffs. glory's an ally so he gets some at least
PiC: LogIce vs. Frixel - idk if either gets full pride buffs. frix is my friend and logice loves iced coffee though so they're both close to getting pride buffs to some degree (iced coffee is to queers as a religious book is to a religious person). imma bold my friend here but this could go either way bc both are fire
STAB: xdRudi.exe vs. sky - sky's prob getting subbed out again
Bo3: TTTech vs. SammyCe123 - i asked both to name queer artists and neither could do it by the time i put this post up so theyre both fake allies. sammy's the more likely bold imo sammy got to the message late but named 3 queer artists and to top it all off he named KESHA who i didnt even know about. this guy knows ball. he's the ally to end all allies

:machamp: MOCCing Machamps (6) vs (2) Commanders :tatsugiri:
AAA: Kinetic vs. mielke - kinetic means fast. gay people get walk speed buffs during pride. kinetic being the personification of speed means that the buffs come from him. this means that he's the biggest ally of all.
BH: Quinn vs. quojova - quinn's support is goated. however quojova is a literal god among us. gods have fallen before though
Camo: The Hisui Region vs. Mossy Sandwich - uhhhh I LOVE CANADA (maybe not rn)
GG: Mindnight vs. entrocefalo - mind is my goat
MnM: seraphz vs. hayedenn - lowkey if hayedenn loses this with pride month buffs theyre a bad player. the gayer you are the more buffs you get and hayedenn is one of the queerest people i know. and i literaly know drag queens
PiC: Chromate vs. Chris32156 - need chromate to go undefeated again
STAB: Baddy vs. seth - allegedly baddy's started a tour 0-2 before and then proceeded to go undefeated. SO.
Bo3: Betticus IV vs. damflame 3 - this is a toss up but IV is a bigger number than 3 so

yay

Back at it with w2 pic games, thanks for showing love on the last post! :heart: Super sorry for this being posted on a Thursday as well. I will hope to not be as busy coming up.

:gholdengo: NinjaSnapple vs yuki :charizard:

+3 Tera Fire Ogerpon-Hearthflame Ivy Cudgel in Sun = destruction. After yuki sets up Sunny Day with Scream Tail, Ogerpon proceeds to go HAM, OHKOing Entei, P2, and Rillaboom, while also forcing Tera Water on Gholdengo. After that the game is basically auto won. Chien Pao eventually hazes the boosts away and takes out Comfey, but it is too little too late. NinjaSnapple’s Ghold is Scarf as well so it snipes the Scream Tail as well. After a few turns of stalling with Protect the Chien and Ghold are eventually taken out and she gets the clean win off yuki.

:kommo-o: LogIce vs SeaLife :glimmora:

From team preview, Incineroar and Stealth Rocks look super strong into SeaLife’s team, as there is hardly any counterplay to it, and the defensive core is with Stamina and Magmar. LogIce notices this right away and leads with the two, as the Iron Hands is Clear Amulet and gets Knocked Off, letting Incin get a Parting Shot off on hands. Knowing Magmar is the main threat against physical attackers, Hearthflame is brought in and gets going with Focus Energy. It gets phazed out by Latias not without taking big damage. Gholdengo is eventually sent in and gets a free setup opportunity on Archaludon and Latias, and it’s in great position to sweep from there. On T10 LogIce makes the game winning play by phazing out the P2 as it goes for Trick Room, saving the Gholdengo and letting it get another Nasty Plot. SeaLife’s only out is a freeze but they don’t get it, winning the game for LogIce.

:machamp: Chromate vs tkhanh :marshadow:

Imagine hazing your own Nasty Plot boost away surely a top player wouldn’t do that to themselves right… Almost like clicking Sheer Force Fake out with Landorus. But however due to the karmic nature of running Spore in a no-sleep clause meta, it happens. Out of spite I don’t wanna cover it but to keep it brief, tkhanh gets the good start off with Volcanion disrupting so much, eventually taking out Gouging Fire. Afterwards, the stupid mushroom is able to sleep both Ttar and Latios, but Chromate decides to keep clicking Rock Slide and eventually beats the team down enough cause they are all somehow weak to it. He gets the flinch on Amoonguss and gets the devine victory. Please implement Sleep Clause after this tour. Spore spam has no purpose in this tier.

:tatsugiri: Chris32156 vs Frixel :annihilape:

Everyone is getting pumped! Chris gets Tailwind up first while Frixel gets up Aurora Veil and chips the Ghold nicely with Heat Wave. Next turn Frixel is free to let Ninetales get sacked and just protects his Tornadus Afterwards, Metagross comes in freely and gets the Weakness Policy boost and knocks Ghold out putting him firmly ahead. Chris sends his Ogerpon-H out, and correctly calls out the Protect on Metagross, getting a KO on Tornadus right before his Tailwind is gonna end. Next turn, he gets the redirect from Moon and gets the Tailwind with Oger, but Kommo-o gets set up as well. T6 Chris makes a nice call with his own Ninetales sack, knowing that Metagross will either Bullet Punch to prevent Veil, but in return it gets bonked by Ivy Cudgel, and getting the snow up for Kyurem. Next turn, Frixel clicks Tera Water on his Kyurem to freely get a Clangorus Soul Boost as Kommo-o is taken out by the opposing Kyurem. Frixel then double protects to stall out the Tailwind but Chris makes sure he’s still in the advantage by clicking Focus Energy with his Kyurem to (barring misses) make sure he can OHKO both the opposing Kyurem and Ogerpon with Draco Meteor. He does land and wins.
