XY OverUsed Ladder Race (Exile wins!)
 
Credit to my man Karp for bringing this up as an event to do here.

Introduction

Welcome to the XY OverUsed Ladder Race!

The idea of this event is that everyone who signs up creates a fresh alt that has not played any XY OU matches. For a set period of time, everyone will ladder on the Smogon XY OU ladder, and whoever has the highest peak at the end of that timeframe wins. Every few days, I will update standings, kept in the OP, to reflect how everyone is progressing. The timeframe will be approximately 2 weeks and will start within the next week.

If you want to participate, indicate that you wish to do so while also posting the alt you will use for the event. Once I close sign-ups, the race will begin.

And just for a little added incentive, if you manage to get to first on the ladder at any point, you'll automatically be crowned champion or co-champion (co-champion if you are somehow surpassed after your peak). Good luck with that, D_A.

So yeah, if you want some friendly/mild laddering competition, please do join.

Gone this week so I cant play, but I reached 1,8k-ish the week before the Deoxys' got banned (and my team was very weak to DeoSharp), so I guess it's somethint. XY is probavly less aids than it was back then, but I told myself that I'm not playing OU until Tour starts again (November or something).

I guess that's somewhat of a 1st milestone to beat. I'm literally trash at XY OU in general (played probably 300 games max in my career), so that shouldn't be too hard.

If you want proof, do /rank Carlos Fierro. It's probably declined a bit since I havent played OU in like a month.

Yeah that was the idea, but it's not like it really matters. You all can start if you want. When I get back from vacation Monday night I will close sign-ups and lock everything in, but yeah go crazy.

Getting there, just battling when I have the time atm

Anti July 31st, 2014 11:15 PM

so karp is in the lead rn but i talked to him and we both agreed it'd be cool to extend this cause lots of us have been busy, so once the clock hits the 7th this baby is over, won't extend again, but thought it'd be fun to prolong it a bit

good luck all

KorpiklaaniVodka July 31st, 2014 11:21 PM

Yeah, was busy with the Gengarite suspect test.

Anti August 1st, 2014 9:57 PM

Finally got around to laddering a little, just 7-0 rn at 1201 on lower ladder, it would be awesome if players didn't take forever delaying the inevitable lol :(

coming 4 u karpman

As of right now, Karpman has this thing won at a tidy 1796 rank. It's technically over now, unless people want to extend it again. (I really think this should be up to Karp especially since he's really pretty far ahead, second place is crobatrulez in the mid 1600s and I don't know if jake or myself will even have the time or willpower to catch up.)

Anyway, it's been fun, hopefully the next time we have a few more participants (especially since two of them went inactive) so the level of competition is a little higher. Even so, good stuff guys, and unless anyway raises major objections I'm going to ask for a lock and declare Karp winner.

champagnepapi August 9th, 2014 5:28 AM

Might as well end it, kinda dont feel like i won since i called it quits after that hax game but oh well. Hope we get more participants next time.

Long live medicham begin
