Yep pretty much. Mainly because of the rule that no battles counted if they didnt say whose role they were playing as. So Technicalities. Again. It kinda gave him the unfauir advantage of seeing my team. But oh well. Have fun guys :)
 
Yeah, it definitely leaves a bitter taste. It looks like we still have a chance to win though, so I guess I have a last message for whoever's left, which is to think about your moves, this isn't directed at or because of anyone, nor do I expect anyone to become PC's strongest battler overnight, but a little thought will greatly increase your chances of winning. This actually isn't too hard, just ask yourself if it's worth it whenever you make it a risky play.

For example, if you have excadrill + a bunch of water types against togekiss and an electric squad, don't EQ the Togekiss predicting an electric type switchin to your iron head. Togekiss could carry aura sphere or flamethrower, and you'd be risking your most valuable pokemon, one that can come in and kill a ton of electric types at a different point in the match. Also, try and identify from team preview which of your pokes are most threatening to him, and try to abuse them against your opponent while not risking them or switching them into a bad situation.

This is pretty forgotten but basically just don't forgo common logic for prediction or cool plays. Again, this isn't a criticism of anyone, just some advice that hopefully can be useful and push the team over the hump.

Haha oops this is a bit of a tldr but I think you guys could find the basic info here useful, we're fighting for ourselves too so it'd be good to give it our very best ;)

Well either way, it sucks to be eliminated.
 
Yea bud, I feel you didn't catch a fair break with how things went, at the very least your match vs Christos should be settled as a bo3.

Pretty much. That seems to be a running theme with us. We didn't get lucky breaks because some technacality screws us.
 
This is getting ridiculous/suspicious. If I didn't know better I'd say Antemortem was against us. But seriously, if you guys fought once and you won, fought again and he won, you should get another chance.

Wait a minute, if Christos' team wasn't ready yet, why did he battle you in the first place?!

EDIT: It sounds like he just wanted to check your team so he could prepare. There's no other reason for him to do that.

Also, all these technicalities are stupid imo, they never get explained until AFTER they mess us up.

Okay you know what? No. That's extremely rude of you to insinuate that we are procrastinating and not helping. Some of us have things to do outside of PC. Right now I'm on a phone on the way to another state. Thought I'd check in on PC to see how it was going and found this waiting for me. Lovely. Also, guess what? Not everyone knows how to battle well or at all, really. That doesn't make us worth nothing to our team- we have other skills. just because we can't shine everywhere doesn't mean we're not helping. So don't attack us. This is a friendly competition and the way you just addressed us was not friendly at all. Watch your phrasing.

And what do I have to do with what Christos did? Maybe watch where you sling your words because I described the challenge how I intended. Your interpretation is yours alone and I'm not at fault if you screw up (how did you screw up? again, you should watch whom you direct your words)
 
Sorry about that, I was severely irritated by real life, and I still don't want to deal with people. I'm just in a bad mood, so please don't be too offended by what I said...
 
If I recall correctly, Ultraviolence was the second pick and volunteer for our new representative when Matt was eliminated. So, I'll assume it's him unless anyone else wants to step up to the plate.
