Welcome to the fifth iteration of TLT (Tours' Leaderboard Tournament)! Throughout this tournament, players will battle in a best-of-three/best-of-five (from the 6th round on) format each round, with Smogon's standard tiers being the metagames played. This tournament is also double elimination, so if you're defeated once, you're still in the loser's portion of the bracket.

The tiers that will be played are:
SS Ubers
SS OU
SS UU
SS RU
SS NU
SS PU
SS LC
SS DOU
SS Monotype

In order to fairly determine the three of these nine tiers played in each individual matchup, players will take turns locking and eliminating tiers among themselves. They'll both lock one tier, followed by eliminating three tiers, thus leaving three tiers to be played. The lower seeded player will lock the first tier, followed by the higher seed player. Then the lower seeded player will eliminate the first tier, followed by the higher seed player, and it will repeat in that order two more times. The higher seed player picks what tier is played first of the three tiers. After that, the loser of game one picks which of the two tiers is played for game two. Naturally, game three will be played in the last remaining tier.

(Example: Ax is seed #1, while Nol is seed #16. Nol, the lower seed, decides to lock PU, followed by Ax locking RU. At this point, neither PU nor RU can be eliminated. Nol, the lower seed, chooses to first eliminate Ubers. Ax follows with OU. Nol then eliminates LC, and Ax eliminates Doubles OU. Nol then eliminates NU, and Ax eliminates Monotype. So thus the three tiers that would be played are PU (what Nol locked in), RU (what Ax locked in) and UU (the tier that didn't get banned). Of these tiers remaining, Ax, the higher seed, chooses to play RU first. Ax then loses game one, and chooses to play UU next. Should it go to game three, the tier to be played will be PU.)

Basic tournament rules - read these, especially if you're new to forum tours
Sportsmanship: Don't be an ass. Not to your opponents, not on PS, not on Smogon, not to me. A bit of friendly banter is ok, but please know where to draw the line. Think before you type, please.

Scheduling and Activity Wins: Contact your opponent as quickly as possible on their Smogon wall, and look out for them on PS. You will have one week from the posting of the week's matches to get it done. Extensions will be for two days after the scheduled deadline, and no further. If your opponent is not responding to your post on their wall, cannot be found on PS, or miss multiple scheduled times, make a detailed activity post in the thread letting me know why you deserve the win. No activity post means no activity call. As long as you have visible attempts at scheduling (such as wall posts), you will be fine.

Disconnections and Timer: A timer loss is a loss. No if's, and's, or but's about it. If your opponent is nice enough to replay that's fine, but they are by no means obligated to.

Ghosting and Identity: Don't take or give battle advice or make moves based solely on the suggestions of others, and don't pretend to be someone else in order to play as them. You will be caught, and you will be disqualified from this tournament as well as future PS! tournaments (BLT, PSPL, etc.).

Substitutions: Substitutions will be made only for rounds one & two, with round two subs only being allowed for any participants in the loser's bracket.

sorry for sniping Micoy

Predicts and the half blood prince:

crying (45) vs daniYSB (55): He beat star and he can beat the other OU main, crying. Still very close and most definitely a set to watch, but dani is by far the more versatile singles player imo so should be favored. GO DANI

Blimax (55) vs Trade (45): Both great players but I previously mentioned Blim is my second favorite to win, and I stand by that. Will definitely depend on locked tiers but I think Blim is the more versatile of the two and will win.

Stareal (50) vs either of them (50): Both crunch/meminger can take this if they prep enough for the non lock tiers, and both should be able to take their main tier. Not bolding anyone bcz idt star is particularly favored in any tier outside OU.

RichardPepper (99) vs skimmythegod (1): Plot Armor

ROUND SIX MATCHUPS

WINNERS BRACKET


crying vs daniYSB :Insanly hyped matchup and i was actually waiting for this match since the first round.If we have to come to predicts its really hard.But the one factor which (according to me) makes dani a bit low is the bo5 which makes it hard for dani to take lower tiers and giving cry a cryingg higher edge.Semis are always hype and recommend all of you to watch this match.3-2

Blimax vs Trade :Next semis is also another hyped match.Trade and blim are really good players (every tlt players are good btw).Blimax and trade plays almost all tiers solidly well.But Blimax is a better player giving Blimax a lead up here with 3-2 .blimMAX

LOSERS BRACKET
Crunchman vs Stareal :In this match they both need time since both are insane players and OMG Stareal won which makes many players surprised that they played so early.I thought this match will go to five.And if we look in pokematchup way then fairy wins against dark but i was going to give stareal the edge but still good try cman (it was a coin flip).i expected 3-2 anyways.

RichardPepper vs skimmythegod :Both are gods hard to choose.Ubers,ou and mono,ru will be taken by skimmy and richard respectively and it was another coinflip skimmy wins this taking uu.2-3

Hope this did not offend anyone i was just predicting.

All of them are goats and gl to them. funfact all of what i predict was 3-2 or 2-3 ensures they are strong players

Thanks to Nol for making replay manditory so that we can watch the goats play.
