    SnowCristal told me she is not able to play Sunday and I told you this last night. Youre a legend bro, but this sub should have happened yesterday and she could have played this morning. Now she is asleep and isnt available tomorrow.

    Your player timed out and was at a disadvantage. Don't try to argue the ruling here please, the win should and probably will be awarded to Froggy and you know good and well if the roles where reversed you'd be complaining about not having a timeout win yourself.

    Also, I'd just like to point out to everyone here that I'm pretty sure the TD's involved in this tournament care, and if they don't update the thread please don't be spoiled brats about it. I'd like to see you do the things BR does in his shoes as well. That is all I have to say.

    Clearly you don't know anything about GSC, but go ahead, tell me how Siegfried was at disadvantage XD. I'm only asking where the rules of the tournament are and what is the decision of the hoster.

    I only said I hope the battle could end playing and not this way, but what is completely sure is that Siegfried was not in disadvantage, there is the log, i can argue anything, but if you don't know about gsc, you'll not understand.

    Unlike you, there are proud players that don't cheat and want to win or lose battling and not by activity or some sort of random issue. You forgot the reason you were banned from powc? Does the word "cheat" comes to mind?

    Cool your heels boys.

    MX, Jason is entirely in the right here; it has always been the case that the party that times out takes the loss. There's no call to insult Jason based on his past history which I'm sure he's eager to leave behind.

    I know some tournaments give the win to the one who don't timed out for 'X' reason, but in other serious tournaments the organization evaluate the battle or have their own criteria. Someone remember the battle between blarajan and other guy in spl where someone timed out and then they continue other day? Well, I don't know how the host of the tournament work here, that's why i want to know where is the post with the rules because i could not find it, and what is the opinion of the host in relation with the battle. Anyone who knows gsc can see that siegfried was not in disadvantage, Siegfried didn't know timer exists, before the tournament, he had 9-10 years w/out playing pokemon.

    And I answer the same way the other person talk, jasonpwn is very rude with the form he expresses, that's why I don't mind talking harsh and straight.

    Some people need more sportmanship and common sense instead of trying to win by all cost. What's the point on winning that way?

    Actually I'm not very rude- I'm merely calling you out for your hypocrisy. A year ago yes I did cheat you are right but I waited a year to get back into the pokemon scene, and am simply playing MY matches right now and if froggy needs any advice he can come to me if he so chooses. I don't cheat anymore, I have learned to value my teammates and trust them, so I do so. That's why I'm sticking up for mine here. He was at an advantage because I do know the GSC metagame well but I'm not going to get into specifics.

    Siegfried had to know timer exists. It's blatantly shown in the battle window and has shown in EVERY SINGLE version of PO to date. The fact that your player is claiming such absurdity, borderline lying for the sake of restarting the match, is outrageous. I am well aware of the competitive spirit in mons and how "serious" this tournament is, which is why I believe in enforcing the rules of said tournament. I think Texas outlined that pretty well, and I appreciate the post btw.

    Both of our players were given the same restrictions, so neither were at an inherent disadvantage. If your player runs out of time because he didn't pick a move fast enough, that's just tough luck because both players were given the same amount of time to think through the move. Move on, and prepare for the next week.

    The battle is important, it decides the result of this week, that's why i would like to hear the opinion of the organizers of the tournament. You don't said why I'm hypocrite, you don't said how froggy was in "advantage" , cause all of that is false.

    I like to win or lose playing and not by activity win or timeout or whatever other reason, that's why i did not asked for the win for riuoker in ubers when his opponent got banned. And I hope the organizers of the tournament have the sportmanship in mind, this is not smogon, but even there they replay battles when they analyze the situation and when it is an important battle. Every tournament is different and has his own rules. I will wait the response of the decision.

    Maybe you say you are different now, but I see the same attitude (trying to win at all cost). Un poco de deportividad no les caería mal para variar...

    On Smogon if you timeout without dcing from the internet you lose. So this exact situation on Smogon would result in a win for Froggy.

    Yeah I know, that's why i said this is not smogon and I'm waiting the commentary of the organization. In smogon there is a very specific thread with the rules, here i could not find them. In smogon they don't use common sense in some cases because they give you an option to submit your team and other stuff, that's why this situation is totally different from there, but even there they replay some battles.

    I think it's not that hard to continue with the pokes they had left.

    Your player timed out. He/She loses the game because of it. He/She has not claimed to have lagged in the game, and therefore should not receive special treatment. You do not get special treatment. And if you wanna think my wanting to "win at all cost" is a bad thing, maybe you should reconsider the way you manage a team. If that's not what you're after as a leader of a team, then that's a disservice to your team. But actually it seems like you are after that, because you're breaking rules to "win at all cost." Hypocrisy proved enough for you now?

    You don't have proved anything. I want to win PLAYING, if I lose I want to lose in the battle field, not being an asshole. Before the last powc i was retired from pokemon, but some friend ask me as a favor to play and then they wanted me to be captain, this time they chose me again so i don't think I'm letting down my team. I'm not asking special treatment, because there are no rules for this case, I'm asking for sportmanship and to continue the battle, there is the log. I'm asking the organizers to post their thoughts and their criteria because we don't have the rules very clear since the beginning of the tournament, this is a growing community and tournament, this is not smogon, I know the rules there, but that's why I expect they clarify things here.

    And you know where your "wanting to win at all costs" took you last time. Don't know how you can feel comfortable "winning" that way. This week LA deserved to win, but "losing" that way is a shame. What is the problem to continue the battle if you claim froggy was in "advantage" , lol (he was not).

    nigga you can continue using your jajalogic (you're wrong LOL) but you don't really need to take shots at jason or central because no one ever said shit about you ?_?

    personally (employing your google translate syntax) i think this week (and every week) la deserved to lose for being counterteaming jajacirclejerking faggots but i kept my opinion about your shitty garbdix players (el poeta) to myself so you could at least do the same and pretend to be respectful


    that was probably a little over the top sorry


    have a banana

    Just accept that your team fucked up and move on. This is a clear cut decision. Stop trying to make a big deal out of nothing and watch the timer next time.

    Not big deal, just jasonpwn and random players keep coming to talk shit, I'm just waiting the response of the organizers.

    ok i think i've had enough of this. if you think im some big cheater, that's great. but central is up 5-4, and when froggy is given his deserved win, it'll be 6-4, so all i need to say is scoreboard.

    also at the random comment, who the fuck are you again?

    I'll accept any decision the organizer decide, no problem if they want to give away the win to Usa, I only stated the facts and my thoughts, is up to them the final decision. I'm a player who likes to win tournaments based on the level on the battle field and not based on activity of free wins, who are you by the way?

    Yeah, I know IFM is a moderator, a moderator that plays for Usa Central. Unlike your trickery habits, we don't ghost anyone. I don't care if all usa team keep saying bull, all I want is the decision of the organizer, not the opinion of usa team & random friends.

    Edit: In response for the post jason has erased.

    The win has been sealed; however, I wanted @Mylo Xyloto and @SOMALIA to play their games with their respective opponents because every match counts.

    Saying advance GG's to @ThatIsWhatSheSaid and @Windblown; was a pleasure to battle your team. =]

    [I lost against Proof from US East and against Windblown from US West, but the Asia-Pacific as a team won the week. But when I managed to pull off good wins against Psychic Onion from Brazil and Reik from Spain, it ended up in draws! Should I be losing every week to boost APC's morale? Is this some sort of a prophecy intended for me?]

    How about you shut up about it then until BR has a chance to review the case. Posting pointless bullshit isn't going to get you anywhere and just makes you look bad. This situation is extremely cut and dry, and just because your player can't watch his own timer doesn't mean you should shit up this thread.

    How about you & Co. abstain from posting random shit and insulting me and my players and we all wait Hikari to review the case. All usa central team posting pointless bullshit about your free and "deserved" win isn't going to get you anywhere either. You can think whatever you want, I don't mind. Maybe is cut and dry cause you are used to give or receive free wins, but fortunately you are not the organizer. I'll keep waiting the decision.

    MX bro, I respect you and found this week to be enjoyable just because it was fun working through you and all of our matches got done easily! Which is rare =o

    but mate I am going to have to ask you to drop the shit with my players... yes everyone knows jason fucked up, thats behind him and trust me I was the most skeptical of him at first, but he has been probadly one of the most supportive players on this team and has done everything he could to help US central WITHOUT cheating.

    IFM is also my assman, and also our main gsc player so honestly i would consider anything he says relevant and not "pointless bullshit"

    Thank You Jasonpwn, IFM and even HSA for having my back and team LA know that however this goes i enjoyed the week, but I am not going to say anything about my match till BR makes official decision, but i hope whatever the decesion is you all can respect it, because it would be a shame for some minnor decision like this to ruin a good week :<

    Also MX please do not take this the wrong way but....

    With no response from Spain about a sub, and still no response from Reik along with my inability to be able to play on Sunday (spending the day with my mother for Mother's day) I guess the only option I have here is to request an activity win. It's not the way I wanted this to end up but I'm really out of options here, as a double sub or a dead game seems extremely unfair not only to me but for my team. So @Hikari do with this as you will.

    Sorry to break your spirit of invincibility but if your op plays like he did turns 3-6, 13-14, 17 and 19 I don't see how winning is really an accomplishment, you would have lost to a player making the right decisions (which were all easy ones btw)
