[The Immortal]

Art by Iyarito​

Hello friends! After intense battling across five opens, we're left with the last eight competitors as we begin the final rounds of Other Metagames' fourth Grand Slam! The top eight will duke it out in a best of five series of Almost Any Ability, Anything Goes, Balanced Hackmons, Mix and Mega, and ZeroUsed.

Lost to Mr. 31 points (as expected), but had a fun run in a slam i entered with no expectations and almost no experience in most tiers, but it was fun to learn them all a bit (except BH obviously).

Shoutouts to everyone for the help throughtout the opens and here, i dont wanna mass tag so yea, you all know who you are. Sorry i played like absolute garbage but i wasnt really focused and hopefully we'll have better quality of matches in the remaining of the tour.

Go HL! Win it all!
