    My goal for this tour was reaching Round 3, look at me now :o . Playing with WU shouldn't be hard, although I'm still working on my teams.

    Beat Hannah 2-1.
    Close Games Man!

    IFM: Hannah is a girl, therefore it is weird to call her a man.

    Lost match one, I had the wrong ability on one of my Pokemon which made everything significantly more difficult to me (Water Absorb Politoed go!).

    Won match two, critted his only check to my main wall breaker which made everything too one sided. Gay match.

    I'll play the other match later or another day, after those two matches I had no interest in keep playing.

    Jcp's list of shiny objects under his name almost made me too distracted to post this, but here we go.

    You don't know what actually happened:

    1) The "annoying hax" was annoying for me, because if he didn't get it, I would have won a lot earlier in round 3. Round 1 was about even hax and Round 2 he got a critical hit and was going to sweep so I just quit.

    2) I'm pretty sure Eternal was trying to cheat in round 2. He told me to challenge him and after 3 minutes of waiting he "disconnected". Then he came back online after a few minutes and told me to re-challenge. Obviously he had seen my team before he "disconnected" and told me to re-challenge him. So I did, but he refused it and told me to do it again (This is where I think he cheated, because he had seen that one of my pokémon basically counters his team so he edited a set). So I did, and about seven moves deep, he realised he loaded the wrong team... On the team that I was facing, he ran a Choice Specs Kingdra, but in his "new" team he runs exactly the same team, but just a Dragon Dance and Leftovers Kingdra (Who runs two teams which are exactly the same, but just with one of them with Dragon Dance Kingdra and one of them with Choice Specs Kingdra). So he wanted to restart, and I said no because I was winning the game and he was trying to cheat by changing the set so it completely counters mine. So even when I said no, he quit, saying "alright?" in chat. I said no earlier on, and told him that he couldn't change his team. So he said something like: "lol". "Fine, I won't change teams", but I think he changed his Jirachi set so it hits Gastrodon, but I couldn't prove this, so I let it continue. Anyway, I could have claimed the win when he quit the battle after seven moves deep when I said he couldn't change his team and he quit, or when he disconnected.

    3) What's wrong with counter teaming? I didn't want to lose and I clearly remember Koko saying that it was impossible to counter team Eternal (Guess you're wrong there). If you didn't want to lose to a counter team, change your team.

    So yeah. That's what happened.

    I saw the replays, so yeah I can tell this isn't true. 9.9

    That is a bit fishy... but how is that related to you counterteaming him?

    Do you really think there's nothing wrong with counter-teaming your Indigo-mate? If so, I feel sorry for you. You're killing the entire spirit of the game and any chances to have a "good game" by doing that. Everyone saw you asking around Indigo multiple times how you could counter-team him, and I honestly thought "lol no one's gonna tell him anything (and whoever did is a dick), and even if they do, Eternal will have more than one team so, it will backfire." That's why I told you to stop trying to counter-team him, cause it would most likely backfire... and it did, since now even if you do win the whole tournament, you're not getting any respect. At least not from anyone I've talked to.

    Anyway, if you want to talk about it further, take it to PM.

    Leave him alone. It's not bad sportsmanship to prepare yourself against your opponent. Eternal's weakness here was the fact that he uses the same team over and over, and this can be easily exploited. I'm not a 'good' player, but if anyone is up against me in a tourney, and they know my playstyle, I would expect them to patch their team up if they're weak to Baton Pass teams, for example. Same goes to anyone >.>... Archerknight simply had the upper hand in terms of strategy and planning, which handed him the victory.

    Wisest post so far.

    It could have been easily avoided, had Eternal bother to use a different team at least after game 1. One of his, you know, tons of teams. Anything else is irrelevant, "counterteaming a fellow indigo" sounds too personal to be objective anyway(counterteaming non-indigo is okay lol) It's almost like people are actually mad that their fan favorite lost and deserved it. He had it coming first by Archer loudly announcing he's gonna counterteam(lol), second by actually counterteaming since game 1. In best of 3 games, counterteaming is easy to manage, and will cost you 1 game at best(and you win a game after that if you actually use a different team). So whose fault was Eternal did not win 2 remaining games? Eternal's. No one else's.

    So instead of going out of your way to bash Archer, think whose fault the loss really was, and think that this IS OU after all, a metagame where is no such thing as "equal chances". He could have stopped it. He didn't. Anything else is irrelevant.

    Wtf are you talking about? I suggest looking back at the battle log. Everyone that saw the battle on the log knows how badly I was haxed and counterteamed.

    It wasn't seven moves, it was on turn 4. And now you're accusing me of trying to cheat? The person that watched my battles in alts and made a team to counterteam me? I loaded the wrong version of the team, and of course it didn't matter whether it was Choice Specs or Leftovers. I asked politely because after I was disconnected, it loaded up the other version.

    Lol, what's wrong with counter teaming? If that's how low you want to go, then be fine being hated by everyone.

    Of course I had multiple teams to choose from and I probably should've done that. But boy, I had no idea you were going to go that deep into counter-teaming me. I thought you would have more respect and use a real team. Learn to respect other players, and win with dignity.

    Lol, talking about flaming and insulting other users. And if you're talking about respecting other players with dignity, you should start by respecting Archer yourself o.o.

    I think there is nought wrong with counter teaming. If you see an opponents weakness, you exploit it. End of. Also Archer had no way of 100% knowing what team Eternal was gonna use. Therefore he couldn't have perfectly counter teamed without some risk at least. Also as Lumi said, if you lose to a counter team more than once it is 99% your own fault as the effect often wares off once you know what your opp does to each of your mon.
    Also stop attacking people and not their arguments, I thought you were better than that Eternal

    How about we stop talking about this now. It's in the past and nothing we say now will change it. I will be deleting anymore posts that continue this argument, so if you want to discuss it take it up in PM with each other.

    Double post but w/e. Having troubles finding WU, the last 4 days I've been online 10+ hours on the server trying to find him and I even sent him a VM but I didn't get a clear reply for what I asked (an specific time to schedule our battle). Our timezones aren't that different, I'm -4.5 and he is -7, and I used to see him all the time so I don't know why I'm having troubles meeting him on the server now.

    The semi-final thread will be posted tonight. I have waited long enough for this battle and its time we got a move on.

    I'm expecting to not get bs'd out of this tour by a coin flip, which could be avoided if I didn't use Water Absorb Politoed.
