hi!
Just played my games with @BANKS and it was extremely close. I ended up winning 2 - 1
I thought i had lost multiple time in game 2 and 3 but i ended up being able to predict your switches which was the edge. ( @BANKS Your snatch z move play was very good)

Thank you, that’s the seasoned player diff. I had a good breakout play, but you were able to make good decisions consistently. Well played Tryson!

Just played my match with @ddk
I was able to win 2-1. Well looks like I got really lucky there. that game 2 i definitely did not deserve the game. I was not playing very well, and he was playing out of his mind. Sadly rng is a thing in this game.

Little Cup VGC 2018
Like Singles, Little Cup has been extended to Top 7 for a larger bracket.
@BANKS vs @mrbubbles > Winner faces @Caterqu
*For those wondering, I’m dropping out of Little Cup and won’t be competing in future VGC tournaments

Rough set of games to watch, but as stated many times here- RNG is a part of the game, and playing to your outs is entirely viable in bracket. I’ve been RS flinched 5 times in a game, and frozen 3 times in a single turn it’s not fun but it happens.
Would have loved to have seen game 3 played out but I get the tilt.
@bule and @DarthEevee would love to know when you guys are playing as I’m all ready to go down in losers.

I’m not gonna comment too much on that set. I’m satisfied with my play in the first two games and know I was playing better, but the better player doesn’t always win.
Tryson gave me the option of replaying game 3 but I declined because I felt he had the download then and it would set a bad precedent for the tournaments going forward.
With that said, losing to 10% para into 25% full para (2.5% total) when you played nearly flawlessly and your opponent wasn’t comfortable with his team, plays and was just going through the motions feels awful. I need a long break from VGC after that as I think I am too emotionally invested in what is supposed to be a fun and relaxing tournament. Some of the other participants have mentioned feeling tournament burnout as well, so I’ve decided to give everyone a break after this one and wait until next year (Jan/Feb) for Gen 8.

for a relatively small tournament series, we have surely seen a lot of crazy stuff!
