Battle of the Week
 
Battle of the Week

Introduction


Hello PCL, welcome to the League's Battle of the Week event! Every week, we will showcase and advertise a single competitive battle, with the winner gaining 50 Experience for his or her clan.

Each clan will be equally represented and will face the other once, resulting in 3 battles per clan over 6-week cycles. Within these cycles, no one person will battle twice.

I will determine the weekly battle format myself for the sake of efficiency, but will be very receptive to requests. Clan heads will choose who will participate in their battle, and can nominate themselves if they so choose. We will keep everyone in the loop on scheduling so everyone who wants to watch will know when to do so.

Enjoy!

you guys need to post when you're doing this so anyone who wants to watch will know when they can. also, we're moving on to next week...tomorrow. so battle today or tomorrow at the latest.

wolf January 7th, 2016 9:01 AM

I assumed we were going by Sunday to Saturday. My bad.

We're battling at 5 PM ET this evening.

edit: 5 PM, not 4 PM. Getting time zones mixed up.

Sirfetch’d January 7th, 2016 2:32 PM

Lost vs wolf. was a great game tho! I kinda made some misplays and I need a better answer to Ferro. All in all tho was fun.

wolf January 7th, 2016 2:44 PM

Good game. I'm open to any critique on how I played. :)

Anti January 8th, 2016 4:48 AM

this week will be majestic milotics vs black magic, open to any (competitive) format/tier! if no one says anything by tomorrow, i will just decide the format myself, thinking about an oras lower tier right now.

clan heads decide match-up but i recommend that anyone who wants to play, especially with a specific format in mind, volunteer themselves! that way, the botw is featuring is players who know the tier they're playing. to have it any other way would defeat the purpose of this :p

but yeah do post away with any format preferences (inc. spectators if there is a tier you wanna see though preference will be given to what the battlers want).

edit: just to be clear, will decide format tomorrow and will want player decisions the following day to allow time to schedule and play the match. in the future, will be deciding on format/players sooner (in advance of the week) to allow for more time to schedule.

Dragon January 8th, 2016 4:25 PM

I will volunteer if that's okay~!

To any format.

Nah January 9th, 2016 11:42 AM

Shawn and I have agreed to do a UU battle for this week's BotW, so we'll do that sometime

Great!

Make sure one of you posts the scheduled day and time here when you figure that out! (And please try to do so soonish!)

Good luck, looking forward to watching.

Dragon comes out the winner~

A pretty fun game!

Anti January 18th, 2016 11:17 AM

Sorry, this was poorly managed. I've been trying to get a combination of of people to play a lower tier format that would work within the ruleset of this event, but it's been...pretty challenging. I haven't been able to locate a VGC challenger for Omicron. :(

I was thinking of the amazingly alliterative NU: Noa vs Nola (Nolafus) for this week (with a generous deadline because the delay is on me). You're both quoted below to ping you:

you guys can schedule it as you please! your deadline is this time next week, though if you can fit it in by saturday that'd be fab (but if you can't, yolo).

just make sure to post the day and time you agree on here so people know!

also, as per shawn's suggestion, i've been thinking of doing a BotW picks/"betting" thread. (not sure what we'd bet--the idea is in process, but i'd like to hype these more!)

Nolafus January 19th, 2016 8:12 PM

We could actually do it today, since we're both on.

I'm okay with both! Omi could pick the tier, or wolf can coin flip it or something.

Omicron February 24th, 2016 1:19 AM

Let wolf coin flip it. (y)

Sirfetch’d February 24th, 2016 10:28 PM

You two should schedule this in advance 48 hours if possible so we can get a recording of it organized for social media :^)

wolf February 25th, 2016 11:54 AM

I used an RNG and was given LC. Good luck!

Christos March 5th, 2016 11:54 AM

we're doing the battle in a few minute if anyone wants to come watch!

edit: replays aren't working, but I won

wolf March 11th, 2016 2:49 PM

I'm good with that. I'll be free wednesday so we should be able to battle then, and itll give me some time to build a team since I forgot to save all mine before clearing my history.
