Monotype Monotype Summer Seasonal II - Round 8


art by Zarif
Welcome to the second installment of the Monotype Seasonals! This tournament is the first tournament of the Season! Entering and winning in this seasonal earns you points for an overall Monotype leaderboard. After four seasonals, the top 16 players on this leaderboard will enter a seeded playoffs, where the winner of the tournament will become the Monotype champion!

SPECIFIC RULES:
  • This is a standard Gen 7 Monotype tournament
  • This tournament will be Double Elimination
  • All rounds will be Best of Three. You may switch teams in between battles of the same set.
  • Matches are to be played on Pokemon Showdown, on the Main or SmogTours servers.
  • To encourage the development of the metagame, and so that everyone is on an even playing field, all matches must have replays recorded. If neither player posts or at least saves replays of the match, the game will be coinflipped regardless of whoever won.

Standard Rules and Clauses
  • Swagger Clause: Swagger is banned
  • Baton Pass Clause: Baton pass is banned
  • Same Type Clause: Pokémon in a team must share a type, both before and after Mega Evolution
  • Sleep Clause Mod: Limit one foe put to sleep
  • Species Clause: Limit one of each Pokémon

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 Fire-type" 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.

Paleo vs. Carnies Vengance - man cant even spell his name correctly
Waszap vs. Bitana
Leru vs. Seo. - tygrastro doesn't even know what vincune is, much less how to beat it
Sabella vs. RIPMyLifeFIR

terrors vs. KevinELF - close one, but can't give the elf the edge over Lord B33
Ghost Cream vs. TheImcaness - don't know either of these
(winner of iLlama vs. zugubu royale) vs. Wanka - berrytime
Blimax vs. Escoffier - don't know either of these

waszap to win it all
 
Paleo vs. Carnies Vengance - best sm player?
Waszap vs. Bitana - Zap is more adaptable.
Leru vs. Seo. - The unlikely player will move on again and send another good player to the losers bracket.
Sabella vs. RIPMyLifeFIR - Can anyone bet against the booty?

terrors vs. KevinELF - terrors will bring something that will blow kevin's mind. Angry souls don't win at mons.
Ghost Cream vs. TheImcaness - haven't seen much of either of these guys but Cream seems to play well.
(winner of iLama vs zugubu royale) vs Wanka - All around great player. 100% go 3 games but I think Wanka will pull through.
Blimax vs. Escoffier - Fila is one of the least popular talented players.

Calling it now, terrors is gonna win this tournament.
