[Shadow_Rukario]

Won my match against XTS.

[XTS]

6-0, too. God, I sucked. Been waaaaaaaaaaaay too long since I've done any competitive battling D:

[zeroality]

Beat Mediocrity after some confusion. I thought he was my Little Cup opponent so I am battling his OU team with a LC team and don't even realize that Azelf isn't supposed to be there until he says "wtf level 5?"

Then Smogon gets laggy so we go to CAP and I challenge him but forget to turn LC Clause off so I had to challenge yet again but we finally got it done.

[ImmunityBow]

Won versus Reliability. Probably due to a lucky Fire Blast miss.

[Reliability]

Lost to IB 5-0. On a brighter note, I weakened a bunch of his pokemon. And on a team that I wasn't entirely happy with.

[zeroality]

Round 2 is up, 4/04/10 deadline. Hopefully we can keep progressing smoothly like this.

[zeroality]

And apparently, we can't. >_>

XTS hasn't responded to my PM that I sent a week ago.

[XTS]

And has anybody else? e_e

/responded

[zeroality]

/responded
I didn't get a PM. When do you want to do this?

[XTS]

Responded to OI one, but meh. Anytime tomorrow works, just need to get around to actually building a new team >_>

[Mediocrity_Incarnate]

Yeah sorry bout this. Reli sent me a pm like a week ago and I must have forgotten about it.

[zeroality]

Responded to OI one, but meh. Anytime tomorrow works, just need to get around to actually building a new team >_>
Oh, I forgot I sent you one on there. >_> Busy day.

Anyway, I'm on from 6pm - 3am CST and you can come on IRC to catch me on.

[XTS]

Gah, can't seem to connect to IRC. If you see this, I guess you'll have to come to OI-Chat so we can work stuff out. Sorry.

[zeroality]

I'm on the OI chat now, been there for 10 min or so. I'll try to catch ya on tonight.

Edit: Idled almost an hour in the chat and can't wait any longer. I'll try again tomorrow night.

[XTS]

Your timing sucks; that's basically the exact time when I actually went to do my homework (yes, for an hour) >_>

[zeroality]

Haha, it's cool. I know everybody is busy and will get it done when they can. As for us, I'll try and catch you tomorrow.

[zeroality]

Lost to a well prepared XTS.

[Mediocrity_Incarnate]

Beat Reli 2-0 or something close to that. He had a cool strategy but my special sweeper started crushing all the sudden.

[Reliability]

Should've U-turned. It sucks when you know you're going to lose after the first turn.

[Shadow_Rukario]

Beat IB 3-0., but I pretty much had only 2 pokemon who were even capable of taking a hit anymore.

[zeroality]

I overpredicted a couple times and lost 1-0 to Reli. I keep using teams that I haven't had the time to test because I know everybody is prepared for the standard lineup.

[Mediocrity_Incarnate]

Defeated SR 3-0. I thought he had me at the beginning since he was really outpredicting me.

[zeroality]

Nowai. You were supposed to lose though! Now my chances aren't looking good. I at least had the tie breaker over you. :(

[Shadow_Rukario]

It also ruined my hopes for streak of perfection, but I made a couple bad moves along with my good ones.

[XTS]

e_e

IB needs to come on OI Chat so we can get our battle done. IRC beating on-and-off doesn't help either....

[zeroality]

So what's the status? Have you tried getting him on PM and scheduling a time for him to come find you on the OI Chat?

[ImmunityBow]

Lost twice. I really need to get around to updating my team.

[zeroality]

Lost twice? You were only supposed to battle once.

[XTS]

First one IB accidentally set Little Cup Clause on when he challenged me, so both of our teams were all Level 5. The second one we did at Level 100 to make sure the level 5-ness didn't screw anything up.

[Mediocrity_Incarnate]

When's the next round gonna start?

[zeroality]

Sorry, thanks for the reminder. This is the last round before the finals - top 3 players get to play in finals. Tiebreakers will be determined by who won vs who.

[XTS]

Er....shouldn't there be 5 rounds, so everybody plays everybody else once?

[zeroality]

You're right. One more round after this.

[Shadow_Rukario]

Beat Reli 1-0. It was really close and I was doubting I could win when we both had about 3 pokemon left.

[Reliability]

I kept forgetting things that definetly would have helped me win. But I really think that the whole thing was over after that first turn. Everything after that was just me struggling to get myself together.

[zeroality]

Oh shit, I forgot about this.

[Reliability]

Ya, so what happened to this?

[XTS]

We all got lazy. This includes me >_>

[zeroality]

It's a bad time for tournaments, near end of school for almost everybody.

[Quinn]

...especially with cores and AP testin....AAAAAHHHHHHH

[zeroality]

See my post here (http://www.pokemontopaz.net/forums/showthread.php?473-D-P-Mono-Type-Round-One&p=6051&viewfull=1#post6051).

Edit: As stated after my post above, new deadline is 5/24/10 and get it done/show activity or run the risk of getting disqualified.

[zeroality]

Forfeited Mediocrity_Incarnate as it appears he hasn't logged in since 5/15. This is the last round before the finals. The top 3 records will make it into the finals, for a round robin. If there's a tie then I will decide what to do - probably let the 4th one in for single elimination finals.

Thankfully, I was paired against Shadow_Rukario this round so I was able to forfeit without affecting who makes it into the finals. He was in, win or lose. Good luck everyone, deadline is June 3rd.

Latias is now Uber and this goes into effect immediately, starting with this round. Latias is NOT allowed!

Edit: Just looked at the standings, and if my math is right then it is impossible to have a tie for who makes it into the finals? Since IB and MI are paired up one is going to have a better record than the other.

[Reliability]

Lost to XTS 2-0

I had to remove Latias from my team, which left me with an empty space that I had to fill... I guess my choice didn't work out. :p

[XTS]

And, I do believe that puts me with SR in the finals.....right?

[zeroality]

Yes it does, the third player in the finals will be the winner of IB vs MI. Looks like IB might win it by default, I haven't seen MI on here in forever.

[Mediocrity_Incarnate]

Not till he clobbers me

[zeroality]

Hey, good to see ya back.

[SilentSentinel]

You are going to need to forfeit my brother.

[zeroality]

Finals are up, and I gave 2 weeks for deadline but please don't be lazy. Get them done as soon as you can.

[XTS]

And....beat SR in this, too. After the hole I dug myself into at the beginning with the switch-rapeage I really didn't expect to pull it out, but I'm definitely not complaining. Starting to sound like a broken record, but again, great battle.

[zeroality]

Well, what a crappy way to end this but ImmunityBow is on vacation for a month so he won't be able to get this done. After forfeiting IB's matches, XTS comes out on top in this one since he beat SR.
