We now have the top 16 contestants that have battled it out across 5 Cups of our older generations to earn enough points to make it here, and we're now ready to see who's our best old gens player. I'd like to thank our cup hosts Blim Mysterious M Ismakhil Staxi LaBalladeDesCieux for letting us get to this point!
Let's get the boring stuff out the way:
Tournament Rules:
Here are our qualifiers!
Notes:
Seeding is determined by the following criteria (in order):
- Total Points

For qualification, only points are used.
loving1096, l'habitat, and Highlord are tied for the 16th spot, and will a round robin tiebreak Bo5 ADV DPP BW ORAS USM, and the winner will qualify as the 16th seed for playoffs. While loving1096 hasn't confirmed their desire to participate in the playoffs, it won't be an issue if they say no, since Highlord and l'habitat would still have to play a tiebreak.
