I am sure that MasterUmbreon and I will have a good match so I am not that disappointed
I will be checking back thoughout the day so hopefully we can get our battle done today


Hehehehe nope. I wanted to dissapoint you XD We thought that I should take on Volkner and M-Umbreon take on you because thats how we roll.

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
and Junoliv will be battling TAB

Junoliv November 24th, 2008 6:18 PM

Things have been going good, haha. Nice to see you're not totally dead. :P

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.

_Prince_ November 25th, 2008 4:37 AM

oo been away for some while. I'll contact desolation101 right away.

well it doesnt make a difference does it juno XD
we will still take them on at full force

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.

So this means ill be taking on Matt-O

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

XDD I know, hahaha. I just had to fill it in with something.

Matt-O November 25th, 2008 5:30 PM

Nice intros for the battlers. I can't wait to read the rest. And yes, you are extremely shallow for making one for yourself. lol

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

Is it too late/early to sign up for Round 3?
I've wanted to enter a tourny, and since I don't suck anymore have improved my skills I might be willing to test my mettle.

Sorry Lord Yawgmoth, you're just a week too late. You're welcome to join the ESO#3, which will be around sometime next month hopefully =P

Blast it all.
Alright; could someone remind me when I can sign up?
I know I'll forget. =/

I will do just that, Yawg. :P I always go around asking people if they'd like to join. And with ESO#3 being during the holiday season, we should get a roaring amount of willing participants who should have time for battles.

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
