O.o Yes, Junoliv? Haha. Was that necessary? XD

Another note, if anyone has problems contacting their partner because they haven't been online, you can go ahead and do the challenge (or be challenged) yourself.

If by Friday, everyone in the Last 16 hasn't checked in here, we'll replace that team member with an alternate.

Ito_Igami November 23rd, 2008 9:26 AM

Well I was lucky enough to get partnered up with one of the Bosses. I am hoping preferential treatment XD. We have been planning our method of attack and I believe we have a good strategy so far

Aurafire November 23rd, 2008 4:03 PM

To clarify, once another team with the opposite scroll challenges you, your team can't refuse the challenge. However, you do get to choose the match-ups. Kairyu, since you and MasterUmbreon were challenged by Ito and Volkner, you get to choose which one of you will be fighting Ito and which one will be fighting Volkner. This makes it fair for both teams ^_^

MasterUmbreon November 23rd, 2008 4:53 PM

I'm here now so I'm ready =/

Edit: I guess everyone else isn't =/

Alex's Tip: Donate a prize while you're in the tournament NOT when you get booted. If you lose all your Battle Points you can get back in using one of two methods. You can battle another kid with zero BP's or you can donate a prize. HOWEVER you can't do both once you're kicked. So if you donate a prize you get a cool +2 BP. Then if you lose you can still battle to get back in. This way you can use both Re-entry methods with no penalty!

Prizes we're looking for:
Events
Iv Bred Pokemon
Normal Shinies: (2 normal shinies for +2 BP)
Shinies with beneficial natures
Ev Trained Pokemon

That's about it but we're flexible. Just send me a PM entitled Prize and tell me what you want to donate.

Wait we have to give you those hard to get pokemons just so we can back in club? If so wow like seriously I mean wow.

Aurafire November 23rd, 2008 5:14 PM

Well folks, it looks like we have all of our match ups!

(1) Kanye West and (9) The Graceful Assassin Vs. (7) cowan and (15) Mystery2009

(3) The American Battler and (10) Matt-O Vs. (2) junoliv and (12) Mukkamoto

(5) Ito_Igami and (14) Volkner's Apprentice Vs. (4) -Kairyu and (11) MasterUmbreon

(6) _Prince_ and (13) aragornbird Vs. (8) sam2243 and (16) desolation101


The teams that were challenged can now decide who will be battling who. Since the last match up must be Graceful and Kanye Vs. Mystery and Cowan, I have flipped a coin to see who will decide the match ups, and it's Graceful and Kanye. The italicized teams are the ones that have been challenged, so they pick the match ups.

Round Two can now commence! PM/VM your opponents and good luck!

Umm....no one has to do anything. And it's not a club, it's a tournament. If people want to donate prizes, they get a battle point reward...We don't make them donate, but if they want to get back into the tournament, then they have the option.

MasterUmbreon November 24th, 2008 10:16 AM

Well me and my partner agreed that I'd take on Ito and he would take on Volkner

Volkner's Apprentice November 24th, 2008 1:58 PM

It's also been set for desolation101 to take _Prince_, while sam2243 is going to fight aragornbird.

Meaning the only match-ups we're waiting for now are whether Matt-O will face Junoliv or Mukkamoto, and then other will face The American Battler. (provided he's still active...I e-mailed him, so hopefully he'll be back to check in.)

Mukkamoto November 24th, 2008 3:20 PM

Ill be battling Matt-O

We're just starting round two, so we're right on track. Aw, that sucks about the DS. Is yours broken? I hope you return to the battling zone soon enough.

The American Battler November 25th, 2008 9:50 AM

IF you think defeating us will be so easy, think again. We won't be going down without a fight, so junoliv, get ready for our battle! (Not now, I'll VM you when)

Im sure you will put up a great fight, so me & juno will have to do our best to stand up to you guys, either way good luck.

i know u will put up a great fight TAB as would i . i expect nothing less. i was hoping u would pick me as our last battle was great. but i must caution that u must first consult with ur patner before decicding . so if u havent done so please do so . then we can be sure..

Yeah, he should have consulted me first, but that was the matchup I was going to put if he didn't show, so it's OK. Mukkamoto is mine and he gets junoliv.

Volkner's Apprentice November 25th, 2008 2:53 PM

And since the second round has finally chosen all of the match-ups, Ima do a fun little preview thang! I'll do a small showcase of each of our top 16 battlers.

Ito_Igami vs. MasterUmbreon

Ito_Igami has been on and off the battle circuit for a bit, with a surge over the summer, a small time period of not battling, then a big comeback in the Fall. He's the winner of the Viridian City Open on the Champions Tour and he's vying for another title on it as I type this. His last big tournament appearance was the PC Wifi Tournament held over the summer, where a technicality forced him out versus POKEMASTERALEX in the first round. He's come a long way since then, going 3-0 in the first round and storming his way to the #5 seed.

MasterUmbreon is a newer face around these parts. While no big tournament results does he have under his belt, he's entered in the ESO and has reached round two: what more could you want? gee, idk, Ryan, how about the title?.. Umbreon racked up 6 wins in round one and was the last official qualifier (and was quite excited about it to boot.) It might be considered an upset if he manages to defeat Ito_Igami, but we can't deny he'll put all he's got into the match and give us a good show.

Volkner's Apprentice vs. -Kairyu

-Kairyu is new to the competitive scene, often viewing the Quick Battle topic, he's just gotten into his first few tournaments/gyms such as the ESO and the Whirl Cup. A quite good fighter, from what the rumors say, in addition to him going 4-1 in the first round of the tournament. While perhaps a little cocky on some fronts (who isn't nowadays?), he's a force to be reckoned with and would receive another notch on his Poke-belt can he take down the only ESO Coordinator entered this time around.

Volkner's Apprentice is extremely shallow for making one of these for himself. Still searching for his 70th win of 2008, VA's come a long way from his n00bcake days of '06 when EV training was just a myth, and even attempting IVs would be catastrophic to the mind. He reached the Semi-Finals in the PC Tournament back in May, and while he lost in the 3rd Round in the following tourney, it was to the eventual champion, Aurafire. It's been a rollercoaster two months on the battle circuit, including only going 3-2 in round one here, he's still sure to give -Kairyu a run for his money. Although -Kairyu managed to grab a win in their only previous encounter (a 1-0 UU victory), he might find things slightly more challenging/surprising this time around.


I'll do more later. :P

Mystery2009 November 25th, 2008 6:07 PM

Correct me if I'm wrong. Is it just me or do I continually get called out by TGA?
Meh anyway. Im not sure whom my partner is but If they are a no show may I please choose someone reliable(an active forum user) to be my partner?

Also speaking of which. I got in trouble(yea again) and can't play my game for a bit so im just letting you all know my situation and not to boot me.(wierd its like im not meant to finish this tourny.....)

I guess I had better break out some new things I was talking about and shot the tournament down no?

Actually it was random/based on seeds so I didn't have the choice. Either way, Ito and I have half-picked a team, I'm just waiting for his confirmation, so expect us to be on the challenging forefront. Remember, it's basically a race, so if you get challenged before you manage to challenge another team, tough n00bskillets. You've got to battle the team who challenged you. However, in that scenario your team gets to choose who fights who, so it's pretty good.

Lol sure filler filler filler

Sweet, thanks. =]
I appreciate your kind gesture.

Volkner's Apprentice November 26th, 2008 8:54 AM

Another idea I had earlier today, folks. Here's a scenario:

You're A and your partner is B. You're challenged by team X/Z.

A def. Z 3-0
X def. B 1-0

In that case, team A/B moves on because they have more total Poke-points (11 compared to the other teams' 9.)

But what about player X? He did his part, defeating the opponent in an epic battle, but he still gets the short end of the stick by not moving on to round 3. So I'm going to propose two things:

1) We're going to let the two closest competitors in round two (people who win their match, but since their partner lost by a bigger margin, they still can't move on) be alternates for the top 8. We had an issue last time with two of our top 8 falling out, leaving only two groups of 3 which wasn't that fair really. We need a solid third round, so alternates there shall be.

2) I'm going to opt for a vote here. I noticed in Kev's Tag-team tournament he has the rule that when the teams trade match wins, the losers will fight it out in a Tiebreak match. If this is voted for, we'll probably see the better team move on. So in the above scenario, players Z and B would duel to see who's team is truly better. However if we don't, that's fine too, because I understand some people like it the way it is and having the losers duke it out afterward might be kind of risky. I'll put a poll up on the topic and keep it open for 2 weeks (if I can, otherwise just post a vote.)

Ito_Igami November 28th, 2008 6:57 AM

My match against MasterUmbreon is scheduled for today so hopefully the results can be posted later on

I VM'd Mukkamoto so we'll probably battle eventually.

Volkner's Apprentice November 29th, 2008 7:18 PM

Matt-O/The American Battler vs. Mukkamoto/junoliv

Matt-O reached the Quarter-Finals (Round 4) of the last PC Wifi Tournament, and it took _Prince_ to stop him. He also finished in Round Three of ESO#1, losing to both our Champion and Finalist, but that wasn't to say he didn't have a great tournament. This time around he's back with a 6-2 record that put him into the team event and now he has a solid partner to boot. I can speak for myself when I say he knows strategy and isn't going to let a powerhouse roll him over. It's safe to predict he'll be starting where he left off last tournament and go even further this time around.

The American Battler is somewhat of an unknown commodity around the Battle Stadium's big stages. He's been placed to face aragornbird in Round Two of his first PC Tourney, so there will most certainly be fireworks during that match, especially considering how quickly he qualified for the ESO's team round. Not only that, but he has some serious Extreme Speed pride (just check out that crazy awesome theme, haha.) Based on his comeback (he was down to 1BP after his first match and managed to scrape his way into round two quite nicely) I'd say he's soon to be a higher-up around here, especially if he becomes a little more forum active. :P

Junoliv has been battling quite a bit around the Stadium as of late. He's gotten quite a few solid wins under his belt, including (correct me if I'm wrong) a handful of Round Two members here. While not known for his eloquent posts, he makes up for it with some hardcore results. He was the second qualifier into Round 2 here and I'm sure, while taking down Matt/American won't be easy, he's willing to give it everything he's got.

Mukkamoto from what I know, is an all-around battler. While he hasn't strung together any impressive win results around here, every time he posts after a match he's good hearted and proud about it, no matter what. I haven't battled him myself to see what he deals in the Poke-deck of cards, (which I guess should happen soon, considering he's my Charizard Academy student XD), but with a solid Round One record as well as an impressive start in the Whirl Cup, it's going to be fun to see what he can do in this round.

Aurafire November 29th, 2008 8:10 PM

Kanye West/The Graceful Assasin vs. Cowan/Mystery2009

The Graceful Assassin: Our returning champion had an interesting round one to say the least...After an uncharacteristic streak of losses in the very beginning, he recovered from being knocked out after a hack checking clarification, giving him the boost he needed to storm into round two like the champ we know he is. You didn't actually think he was going to go down that easily, did you? Graceful is a fearsome opponent (I should know =P), and his title as the ESO's first champion is well deserved. At 8-5, he has definitely been the most active member of the ESO#2 so far, and will no doubt be hungry for a win against his rival from last tournament.

Mystery2009: A solid battler to say the least, Mystery has really made the ESO an entertaining event. He's never at a loss for fighting words, and you better be prepared when you fight him, because he always gives his all. Mystery got through to round two with a wildcard, due in no small part to most of his requests receiving absolutely no attention, but he had a solid with a 3-2 record. Doubt that he deserved his wilcard entry and watch the hell out. He's definitely chomping at the bit to get revenge for last tournament's heart-breaking loss against our first champion, The Graceful Assassin.

Kanye West: He entered the first ESO tournament, but remained inactive for round one. Now, he has taken control of the ESO#2 with lighting-fast speed, qualifying for round two the very first day of battling. No battler was able to defeat him in round one, and his confidence definitely shows through as he enters the scroll rounds. A regular over in S&M, he knows his stuff, and is a worthy opponent for any battler. He's looking make up for last tournaments inactivity and prove he has what it takes to be our new champion.

Cowan: Still somewhat of an unknown here in PC's Wifi Battler Stadium, she has no doubt drawn a few glances, qualifying for round two with two convincing wins. The ESO#2 crown is no doubt difficult to obtain, but we will soon see if she has what it takes to make it all the way. Her skills will definitely be put to the test in her scroll match against Kanye West.

I'll do the last matchups tomorrow ^_____^

Mukkamoto November 30th, 2008 1:29 PM

0-2
took long, sorry Matt, should have given up earlier but i decided to give it a long stall xD

Matt-O November 30th, 2008 1:40 PM

Confirming my 2-0 win over Mukkamoto. Awesome match. Stall Wars, FTW! I don't think I could have stood for that Vappy-Lax stall war we had going on there for much longer.

The American Battler November 30th, 2008 2:02 PM

A win for the team. Nice work, Matt. Now it'll be just me and junoliv...

And I still can't believe I'm going up against aragornbird...

Mystery2009 December 1st, 2008 1:11 AM

*Is astonished and flattered*
Thanx for the great complement.

Funny thing is, this tournament's difficulty will increase 10 fold. We've some "new" faces to the tournament, however they are as skilled as they are intimidating. Simpily put, I can pick your semi finalist right now, and those who reach that point are all in for some intense battles.

I'm steeling myself for some difficult battles

let the galavaning begin(hmmm did I use that correctly).

I agree...New comers can be very threatening because you really don't know what to expect when going into battle.

Speaking of "going into battle"....Let's get these scroll matches done people! Make sure you're contacting your opponent and setting up a battle time. Meep...I still have to do the last match up! O.O

Mystery2009 December 1st, 2008 12:56 PM

Just a note. I check here frequently in hopes of forwarding the tournament. However, either my opponent is elusive or a master of evasion

Desolation101 December 1st, 2008 10:48 PM

I cant reach my opponent

I'll let him know you're looking for him, desolation. He's usually online at some point; try PMing him and ask him what time is the best to battle.

Mystery2009 December 2nd, 2008 12:49 PM

Gah..sorry, Kair, I'm so distracted. I need to finish a lot of stuff this week, so like aragornbird I'm stuck for awhile. I also have to re-arrange some team members and do some training. XD Hopefully our team members will be having an easier time finding match time.

If I had to make any solid promises, I'd say next weekend. I know that's really pushing round two because we want it done fast, but until further notice it's the closest i can come up with. X_X

Detox December 2nd, 2008 2:15 PM

Lol mo prob with me, i still need to get a special team member from Platinum.

The Graceful Assassin December 3rd, 2008 6:36 PM

well my battle with Mystery should be happening tomorrow...

Postman ( or Kanye whatever you want to call him =P) i think has gotten contact with cowan...

arent we still waiting for some other battles as well?

Hooray for scheduling! XD

Umm...yes we are waiting for quite a few battles. We only have one done so far, there's still quite a ways to go. It's just a matter of actually talking to your opponent and seeing what times you might be able to catch them on for a battle. Is that so much to ask? ;___;

Junoliv December 3rd, 2008 6:42 PM

Well TAB is never on so.....................................

As long as you keep checking, we can't really ask you to do any more. I'm sure he'll be around sometime =P

Mystery2009 December 4th, 2008 1:50 PM

well thats just nifty...grabbed the wrong ape.......

lost the battle 2-0

Matt-O December 4th, 2008 1:54 PM

If my partner never shows up for his battle, will I still move on or will I be out?

The Graceful Assassin December 4th, 2008 1:55 PM

We'll determine who moves on pretty much based on inactivity. Everyone should be checking in as much as they can though. Hopefully some more battles get done soon =/

And congrats Graceful =P

well in this^ case i would be the one who moves on. Tab is never on

The American Battler December 4th, 2008 5:47 PM

If you wanna move on, then first you'll need to actually win. Let's go, junoliv!

Detox December 4th, 2008 6:19 PM

Lol, everyone else is having their battles, I cant wait until I have mine.

The American Battler December 4th, 2008 6:37 PM

And speaking of battles, I just beat Junoliv 5-0. Matt-O, we're moving to the next Round!

Junoliv December 4th, 2008 6:40 PM

gg TAB u played better than last time. And i was too nervous from being in a must win situation was sitting on the toilet lol. oh well maybe next time ^_^

Lol. XD Thanks for playing, Junoliv, you did great.

And mega-congrats to Matt and TAB for being the first team into Round Three! You'll each be put into a different Round Robin group, which will be determined by which other teams move through.

Also, congrats to Graceful for winning our spotlight match. Mystery, you still have a chance if cowan can beat Kanye 2-0 or more, but otherwise you still played well.

As for Kairyu..yeah, it'll definitely be next weekend. XDD

World King December 5th, 2008 9:33 AM

5-0? That's pretty good, Battler. Congrats for making it to the 3rd Round, and to TGA. Both of you keep it up!

5-0?! Nice job man! All you actually needed to do was not lose by a margin greater than 1-0, you overachiever you. Looks like I'm back to where I got to in the ESO last time, maybe I'll make it farther this time.

The Graceful Assassin December 6th, 2008 9:09 AM

cowan hasnt been on for 6 days, do Postman and me have to wait any longer?

i hate waiting >_>

We'll knock her out if it turns out she has no intention of finishing the battle, or if she's just plain inactive after the other teams matches get done. It's not a race into round three, so no worries.

World King December 6th, 2008 11:12 AM

Meh, I'm pretty sure she'll show up at anytime soon, now. Otherwise, she's out!. And seems ESO activity is decreasing a bit now...

Desolation101 December 6th, 2008 11:12 AM

still have not been able to contact my opponenet

Volkner's Apprentice December 7th, 2008 5:28 PM

We'll set the deadline for the rest of the matches:

V_A vs. -Kairyu
Ito vs. Umbreon
aragorn vs. sam2243
Prince vs. desolation

For Monday, December 15th as the deadline for at least having your match in planned time.

At this point, cowan has been disqualified and TGA/Kanye are into round three.

For desolation, I'm pretty sure you're American? Prince is English, so you'll have to coordinate with him to set up a specific time to battle. As for your teammate sam, he's not on for very long periods at a time and hasn't checked in here lately, so I'm not D/Q'ing aragorn because at least aragorn checked in with me to say he's busy until this week. If we don't see him online by Friday, that will open a playoff spot for round three that active people/losers can compete in. We'll see; I dont' want to make too many big decisions on good battlers that are just having busy weeks.

Wtf how is cowan disqualified. shouldnt everyone deserve the same amount of time to complete their battles? if the others get till the 15th then so should she. if she doesnt show up by then u D/Q not before thats just plain unfair. please dont be so hasty as to remove someone from the tourny while the others have more time,.its very wrong.

_Prince_ December 9th, 2008 12:53 AM

My bad, Juno, I forgot to state earlier. Remember that check-in policy we have here? Cowan doesn't ever post on the forums itself and she never logged in to tell me "i won't be online at all next week" like aragorn did. When you don't check in, you don't get privileges, especially since (much like Bendak during the first ESO) we end up waiting and waiting for someone who can't complete the battle but never told us.

Oh sorry, Prince, i forgot your wifi problem. Good to see it's back ^_^. Just VM him asking what times of the week/day are good for him.

isnt that wat the deadline is 4? if she dosent "check in" by the deadline, then u D/Q . until then i say she fairly stays.

No, we have a standard check-in policy here which we stated to everyone when they signed up back in October. (If it's in the rules, I'll go find it and quote it for you, but if it isn't I'll add it, because I'm positive we said it somewhere in the thread during sign-ups.)

You must check in each week to let us know your status on completing the matches and that you still plan on competing in the tournament. We D/Q'd tons of round one people as we went on, because they would sign-up for the tournament and then ignore peoples VMs/not report back here. The same goes for the later rounds-unless you specifically tell us, like aragorn did, that you won't be online for a certain amount of time. Unfortunately, he told me he'd be back this week, so if he doesn't report by Saturday, I'll have to D/Q quite a few people (that goes for sam2243 as well, because he logs in every day for like 5 minutes, then leaves without attempting to contact his opponents.)

I suppose if cowan shows up saying (in actual words and not n00bsp34k) that she still wants to battle Kanye, that's fine, but for now we're saying Kanye is through and on Friday that will become official.
