Welcome to the Fall RU Seasonal! This seasonal will be the first tournament of the 2019 RU Tournament Circuit. Entering in this seasonal will earn you the points for an overall RU leaderboard, which contributes to achieving the amazing RU Ribbon!

Specific Rules:
  • This is a standard USM RU tournament.
  • Matches are to be played on PS!, preferably on the smogtours server.
  • The format for this tournament is best of three, double elimination.
  • Any tier changes that occur during a round will not be in effect until the following round.
  • Replays are not required until semifinals, but you should save them in the case of a disagreement; it is the only way to settle disputes!
  • Changing teams between matches is allowed.
Standard Rules and Clauses:
  • Species Clause: A player cannot have two Pokemon with the same PokeDex number on his team.
  • Sleep Clause: You cannot inflict sleep upon more than one member of the opposing team.
  • Evasion Clause: The moves Double Team and Minimize are banned.
  • OHKO Clause: The moves Horn Drill, Guillotine, Sheer Cold, and Fissure are banned.
  • Endless Battle Clause: Anything capable of intentionally creating an endless battle is banned.
General Tournament Rules:
  • Identity: I expect many battles to be completed under alts. This can be bad for tournament security, and thus I will make this clear: If I hear any whispers of identity theft (battling as someone you are not) or proxy battling (helping someone else battle through pm) I will not be pleased and I will take severe actions.
  • Scouting: Next, I do not want to hear anything about counterteaming, at all. Do not complain about it. I also don't want to hear about any blatant scouting. There is a difference between "[user] is known for using stall" and "let me follow [user] around all day to watch all his battles since I am his opponent". I expect a lot of the former and none of the latter. I give permission to all battlers to ask any person spectating their battle to leave if they do not want them watching. Everyone will have access to your replays from earlier rounds though.
  • Timer Clause: As for taking long between moves, if your opponent asks you to hurry up, please oblige. If you are doing a damage calc for a key turn that is one thing, but prolonging every move is suspicious and annoying. Don't do it. Furthermore, Battle Timeout is a rule for a reason. If you run out of time, you lose, simple as that. It does not matter what your opponent says. Do not battle if you think you will have to leave mid battle, and instead reschedule for a better time.
  • Disconnections: Finally, in the case of a disconnect, the decision is in the hands of the player who did not disconnect. The options are: redo the battle move for move, redo the battle with the same teams but different moves, or redo the battle with completely different teams. If the battle was without a doubt over, they may also take the win. Any suspicion that a disconnect was committed on purpose to redo a match may be appealed to me, and if I feel this happened there will be severe consequences, don't do it.

Winner Bracket:

Sensei Axew vs Luthier
Watchog vs Eternally
TheFranklin vs Moon
Gorfield vs Yami

esche vs Louna
Xiri vs bugzinator

ru predicts bc snake is a dumpster fire right now

WINNERS
Sensei Axew vs Luthier: god axew should claim another dub here. it'll be close though
Watchog vs Eternally: yeah sure why not bold eternally, if it didn't work the first time it'll damn well work the second
TheFranklin vs Moon: who? goat moon gonna smash this man
Gorfield vs Yami: the man who beat my ass r2 is still in this? bolding him fosho

LOSERS
(esche vs LordST) vs Louna: stan louna
Xiri vs bugzinator: got some faith bug wins this one but probs gonna be close
Dorron vs (Hockey1 vs Youngster_Bill): yeah gonna bold dorron here ig
Feliburn vs Pepeduce: what's a snake draft? feligoat bags bodies in his home turf rofl
 
I will make the predictions since I need to boost my internet points:
Winners
Sensei Axew vs Luthier (55-45): Ever since I met sensei in the untour TLT, they have surprised me with their good teambuilding skills and knowledge of ru. I have practiced and (kinda) built with sensei over the past few weeks so I have a pretty good sense of their skillset. While I have never really talked to luthier, I still know how skilled they are based off of their reputation/clout. Anyways I'm gonna give the slight edge to SA here, but it could go either way imo.
Watchog vs Eternally (10-90): Eternally is a goat at RU, and Watchog is a pretty good all-around player. However, the difference in skill is just way too much for Watchog to overcome so i feel like Eternally has the pretty easy victory.
TheFranklin vs Moon (40-60): I feel like Arce9 is kind of getting slept on in this situation, but it is just because not too many people know them. Moon has proven to be a very strong RU player and is a huge threat to whoever they play in the following rounds. I feel like this series will go to 3 but it will definitely be a fun watch

Losers
(Esche vs LordST) vs Louna (70-30): Esche is the goat and I feel is pretty comfortable taking the win here.
Xiri vs bugzinator (55-45): Another really close matchup against two great all-around players in the community. I'm split on this 50/50, but I'll take Xiri, just because they are coming off a win against ajna.
Dorron vs (Hockey1 vs Youngster_Bill) (99.999999-0.000001): Dorron can't lose and you can't predict against him because "I'm On FiRe"
Feliburn vs Pepeduce (65-35): Two great ru players matching up against each other, but I'm just going to give feli the win since he's the goat.
End of my awful predictions

Alright, time for my predictions! :megapoggers:

Sensei Axew vs Luthier
Watchog vs Eternally (Eternally is probably the best player in winners right now and while I know that Watchog is pretty good, Eternally definitely has the edge here) (30-70)
TheFranklin vs Moon (Just like what Dolla said, Arce is definetely underrated and is a pretty good player. However, he hasn't really proven himself to beat anyone spectacular so while he has done well, I think there's a lot more for him to prove. Moon, on the other hand, has had a solid victory road and I expect him to come out on top here) (40-60)
Gorfield vs Yami (I was pretty close to bolding Yami here, however, after playing test games with Dolla, I know that he is the potential to take this one home) (65-35)

Loser Bracket:

(esche vs LordST) vs Louna (esche should beat both of these players, although I don't think it'll be easy) (55-45)
Xiri vs bugzinator (My hot take prediction came true wow I'm so good! I think Xiri has a pretty decent edge here, I've never really seen bugzi play and I've heard he's decent but I'm positive that Xiri's the better player) (70-30)
Dorron vs (Hockey1 vs Youngster_Bill) (Although Dorron can NOT lose, Hockey1 should beat both of these players) (35-65)
Feliburn vs Pepeduce (Feli's losers bracket journey has been crazy so I see him taking this home fairly safely, although PPDC can easily put up a fight) (70-30)
