ASB LC Tournament: Round 1

ASB Little Cup Tournament
Hosted by: deadfox081
Co-hosted by: Dogfish44

Well the teams are all done, why don't we just kick off round 1 right now? First lets go over the rules for a second:

Battle Rules

3v3 Singles
ASB Arena
Strict 72h Disqualification. One warning per player. After the warning is used (any tag after DQ interval is passed will be counted as warning), the Player has one hour to post (with full orders/pokemon, just saying "orders coming watch this space" doesn't suffice) after DQ is called to rescind it. If one hour passes, the player is DQ'd regardless of the ref posting or not. User calling DQ must tag DQ'd player. Referees please tag the combatants when you have finished your reffing. Players, if you know you're going to be away you better post a Leave of Absence BEFORE you leave, or give a very good reason in case of an emergency.
Infinite Recoveries/Chills per Pokémon.
Three Substitutions per player excluding KO Substitutions.
Switch = OK
Abilities = ALL
Items = ON
Sendout = coinflip

Now, a word on disqualification. This round, and all others in the tournament will have strict 75 day time limits. That is 75 days from exactly this post. Players have 3 days to send their 3 man team to referees (aka the DQ interval). Referees need to inform me if players have failed to do this in a timely manner, and it will then count as the player having used their one and only DQ warning for the round. I will likewise be chasing up referees who fail to put their threads up on time. Matches will then continue along their merry way using the prescribed 3 day DQ method up until there are 10 days remaining in the 75 day period at which times DQ will halve to 36 hours. Players will not be issued a new DQ warning at this change if they have already used theirs. If matches are still ongoing at the 75 day mark I will simply end them and call a winner myself. With the winners HP differential forming the remaining HP value for laddering purposes. Speaking of, anyone unsure on the laddering system should either refer to the main/sign up thread or come to me for clarification.

But without further adieu, I present to you round 1

In case anyone is wondering, we will not be running a predictions competition alongside the tournament, but predictions and general banter are encouraged in this thread. One further reminder that players need to successfully complete the first two rounds of the tournament (aka not forfeit or get DQed) in order to claim their free LC Pokemon.

But most importantly, good luck to all and have fun!

Look at my shiny CT!
FMD vs Texas Cloverleaf
Texas is the better player imo.

smashlloyd20 vs Leethoof
Leethoof is a phenomenal player and seems to have redeemed himself from his johning ways.

Frosty vs dogfish44
Frosty OP pls nerf

Matezoide vs VIS
yolol

Mowtom vs acidphoenix
These guys are pretty evenly matched imo. This match will probably come down to the RNG.

Glacier Knight vs Fluffiator
Glace is more experienced and Fluff just joined.

Gerard vs Classical
Remind me who Classical is? Apperently he's OG ASB but I've never seen him play.

Solid Fuck You vs Mamoswindle
Gold to john.

Someoneelse vs zarator
zara to choke.

Keldeo-Resonant vs Iggy Azalea
Both of these players are new. Kelres hasn't yet been in a serious match and Iggy's only been in one (not counting the ongoing qualifier matches) Can't predict this one based on lack of experience on both sides of the field.

adiass vs AOPSUser
AOPS to choke.

Gale Wing Srock vs Its_A_Random
Rules Lawyer-assisted, obscure mechanic-related, loophole-exploited loss for me in 3... 2... 1...
VirajVora vs P2X7
P2 to john.

Fort Colorcastle vs Starynumeros
See Kelres vs Iggy.

deadfox081 vs Ascher
Asch is new and DF has been around a while and is a pretty skilled player.

Maxim vs Ooraloo
Maxim to choke.

Geodude6 vs jayelt413
This one should be fun. I'd like to think of myself as the better player, but jay has the better team.


YellowAdminSilver vs Birkal

Mowtom for the names. Oh, if only Touch was something more... Lucy
I say a small meteorite hits deadfox in the head while immensely drunk from spiked coffee which I am not currently sending, and advances us both.
Fort because very likely Stary forfeit due to Protect -> *insert weak pathetic move* -> Protect spam
Geodude6 because jay will probably be DQed for tending to his "gf".

hush, according to Google, "Places where fort's stuff is banned" = China, Fort Gay (West Virginia), and reddit.
also, Snaquaza is self-sufficient, not gonna need tending

In a more serious note:
Texas because of TIBot's definition of a Texas Cloverleaf. Predicting a slight choke on FMD, perhaps. Or the reverse. Aunt Lucy's crystal ball is old.
Smash. Why not.
Frosty. Because Frosty is... well Frosty. Idk, Lucy instinct.
Matezoide. Well, I haven't seen VIS much, but oh well.
Mowtom. Because what fort said.
Glacier. Well, he's glacier. Unless Fluffiator has a Swinub because I'm too lazy to check the teams rn, Glacier is Glacier.
Gerard.
adiass because of that accursed Aron. stfu.
Zarry.
Gold, but might choke up and Mamo might get a closer shot.
Kelres and Lucy. We're secretly one person.
idk. Gale is Gale, but IAR is IAR.
VV.
Fort. Totally not because salt. No seriously, I see a slight fuck up on fort, a relatively big fuck up on Stary.
deadfox. Sowwy Ascher bb
idk
Geo.

FMD vs Texas Cloverleaf
I think it'll be closer than most people expect, especially because there's something Texas's team doesn't have. Seriously FMD, y u no send Numel :|​
smashlloyd20 vs Leethoof
It's an interesting matchup, but I suspect I can predict which mons are going to be in play. Leet has the cuter team as well :)​
Frosty vs Dogfish44
Can we redo matchups? (Good luck)​
Matezoide vs VIS
Mate's team has a very good matchup against VIS's stacked weaknesses. Also, Phanpy is adorable.​
Mowtom vs acidphoenix
Although I object to that naming scheme, Mowtom should take this one. So many people stacking types smh​
Glacier Knight vs Fluffiator
MissyKrow is a bugger to break, and my gut says that Fluffiator won't be able to take it out without losing too much first.​
Gerard vs Classical
Classical is fielding a weaker 3/2/2/2/2 (I'd have taken Munchlax over Licki?), but I'm putting this down more to skill difference.​
S0L1D G0LD vs Mamoswindle
Strong lineups on both sides, but I can't see anything that Mamoswindle can use vs Wailmer​
Someoneelse vs zarator
Probably not the common pick, but I can't see Zar having an easy out to Timburr + Scyther​
Keldeo-Resonant vs Iggy Azalea
I can't see anything on Kelres's team that has an overwhelming advantage anywhere. Reverse isn't much better mind.​
adiass vs AOPSUser
This matchup will boil down to how Chinchou is played.​
Gale Wing Srock vs Its_A_Random
... y'all need to be easier to call. I'd say IAR has the harder time getting the team right, so I'll take a gamble on Gale. This one's a must-watch!​
VirajVora vs P2X7
I don't think P2 has an out to ZoroCupra, so expect headaches here.​
Fort Colorcastle vs Stary02939
I might cheat revise this once I see teams. Oy vey.​
deadfox081 vs Ascher
This will probably be a demonstration of skill levels​
Maxim vs Ooraloo
Mono Normal........ oddly effective in the right matchups. This probably isn't the best matchup, but it should be an interesting display. Also, Doduo :>​
Geodude6 vs jayelt413
This matchup is interesting because of how some things are forced in or out. My gut is on the john tho​
YellowAdminSilver vs Birkal
Birkal's team has delusions of evolution, whilst YAS's team has three Minervas. That said, I'm giving Birkal the advantage based on teams. One of the must-watch matches imo.​
 
I entered LLAMA in Round 3 as a late entry... My first opponent was P2X7 and I Won cauz he john...

I entered DYAE?... My first opponent was P2X7 and I Won cauz he john...

I entered AOT3... My first opponent was P2X7, but he johned and got replaced by another player...

I entered ASB LCT... My first opponent is P2X7...

Out of 4/4 tournaments I joined so far, why I do I always get a P2X7 my first opponent always ? :(

Someoneelse

Why am I here?
FMD vs Texas Cloverleaf
Texas is a very good battler when he cares. Possibly even when he doesn't. Can't say I know much about FMD.​
smashlloyd20 vs Leethoof
Both formidable battlers, although I prefer smashlloyd's team over Leethoof's shenanigans. Also the one less likely to john.​
Frosty vs Dogfish44
Both insane battlers, and a very difficult decision. Leaning towards Frosty due to Dogfish's mindset more than anything else.​
Matezoide vs VIS
Matezoide is a great battler when not using his trademark weird Pokemon. He's using his trademark weird Pokemon. Haven't heard of VIS, so you know, yolol.​
Mowtom vs acidphoenix
Mowtom has greatly improved since I left, and is now a force to be reckoned with. Phoenix will probably john anyway but would find it tough to keep up despite his very bulky team.​
Glacier Knight vs Fluffiator
Glacier Knight has always been very solid, and can probably outdo Fluffiator, who I cannot say I know.​
Gerard vs Classical
Gerard is an excellent doubles and triples battler, and is of course very experienced. Classical, whilst joining around my time, has not been around often enough for me to know him let alone back him against someone like Gerard.​
S0L1D G0LD vs Mamoswindle
Mamoswindle may not be the most experienced battler, but at least he doesn't john. S0L1D G0LD will be disqualified as far as I can tell.​
Someoneelse vs zarator
I think zarator's over his curse, whilst I'm still fairly rusty, and Illusion looks nasty. On the other hand, zarator doesn't seem to have ever used LC mons, so it could be interesting (lol i can't even find real advantages for me). One of us will probably choke terribly.​
Keldeo-Resonant vs Iggy Azalea
Both are rather new, but my intuition tells me that Keldeo-Resonant has a marginally better grasp at this point. They really are neck and neck however.​
adiass vs AOPSUser
adiass seems solid to me, whilst AOPSUser seems to choke far too often. Also, yeah, Aron.​
Gale Wing Srock vs Its_A_Random
Its_A_Random is a fantastic battler and doesn't choke too often. Gale Wing Srock probably has other things on his mind at this point in time, and is generally less experienced.​
VirajVora vs P2X7
I had barely heard of P2X7 before he had the Flying leadership, and I barely have since. VirajVora also has the Illusion shenanigans, so P2X7 might be having some fun...​
Fort Colorcastle vs Stary02939
Fort Colorcastle is more experienced from what I can tell, and I at least know. Can't say much about Stary02939 at all.​
deadfox081 vs Ascher
deadfox081 is a strong battler and is the organiser of the tournament for a reason. Once again, I can't say much about Ascher.​
Maxim vs Ooraloo
Whilst I can't say much about Ooraloo apart from actually existing on IRC, I feel like Maxim chokes a bit too much. Also his hordes of Normal-types might be a bit over-the-top (Yarnus of Bethany 2.0).​
Geodude6 vs jayelt413
Geodude6 johns everyone else's stuff, but not his own, lest I'd give it to jayelt413. He is a decent battler though, however little I'd like to admit it. Can't say too much about jayelt413, but he seems solid.​
YellowAdminSilver vs Birkal
Birkal is a very good battler who seemed to miraculously appear with all the ASB intelligence ever (and Protean but we'll ignore that). YellowAdminSilver's been around for a while, but mostly when I've been away (and also seems to use Protean).​

I'm not at all surprised by Timburr being the most used mon, and this represents the oversight in letting it slip to Rank 2. However I feel that given all but 1/3 of the players chose it and the others omitted it knowing full well it was available represents a definite metagame shift but not necessarily an imbalance of power. Gastly on the other hand I still feel is quite right at Rank 3 and its numbers merely show just how good it is going to be. The other main picks mostly show me people looking to maximise the use of their backpacks, especially with the Berserk Gene Doduos and obvious signature item mons. Interestingly all of the Rank 4 mons were picked at least once, meaning someone decided they were good enough despite this handicap. The 39 unique Pokemon picked also shows great ingenuity in people thinking they can make the most out of sleeper picks. Overall I am reasonably happy with the spread, allowing for the fact that no restriction set was ever going to be perfect, and think it will make for a fun tournament.

What I find more interesting is the breakdown of team set ups when considering the Rank 8 total allowed in each match. I am not at all surprised with 3/3/3/2/2 being the most common set up (especially given I used it myself). I feel this set allows for the most power in the team without sacrificing flexibility overly so. I will however say I am somewhat surprised at the amount of people who went for 4/3/3/2/2 sets, given that this removes any options in team building if players decide to make use of their Rank 4. These players must believe that their chosen 4/2/2 team is almost a catch all which patches up each others weaknesses. My personal choice if taking a Rank 4 would have been the 4/4/2/2/2 set up that five people have opted for, especially with some of the power and synergies lurking among the Rank 2 list. Also luckily only two people took advantage of me letting Glameow sneak into Rank 1.
