E4 Pokémon VGC Tournament - Generation 9: VGC Top Cut & Little Cup

just won VGC against @JimTrainer 2-1 ggs

Jim was using very unique team that’s somehow well-built against meta. Urshifu basically cannot be brought :smiling_face_with_tear: and there was the tech against terrain. See it in action below:

Great games. Really well played. Hope to see you again in this tourney! We’ll be even more anti meta by then​:face_with_tongue:

OU games vs @wisewailmer. 2-0 for me. He played well, but I think I caught him off guard with a less popular team style and builds. ggs!

Yeah may have been the worst it could have gone

No hazards, lots of physical defense and lots of rock and earthquake

Been binging VGC content on YouTube. As a Magic player I can confidently say you guys r all geniuses. Team building properly alone is just incredibly intricate

Team building can take days before you arrive at something remotely functional. I’m not the best at it and often times just tweak existing teams or cores.

Would be awesome to have you join us (again) in a future tournament!

The enigmatic @Lylebot faced off against E4’s nicest soldier @mrbubbles in VGC earlier today. Although it was a hard fought battle, MrBubbles emerged victorious 2-0. Good games to both.

Lylebot, maybe next time don’t bring 3 fairy weak Pokemon in a generation where Flutter Mane is the #1 mon (also running moves besides Metronome may help too).

One more VGC match remains before we determine who makes it into top cut. The race is close for those final 2 spots!

VGC players, the last round of Swiss has concluded and I’m pleased to announce the final standings before we move into the elimination phase!

Much blood, sweat and tears were shed over the course of these four rounds, but at the end of the day only the top 8 highest ranked players will move on to battle it out for the crown.

But fret not, if you didn’t qualify for top cut, you’ll still get the chance to duke it out for the exclusive Little Cup crown (complete with a shiny badge). This is something that separates E4 tournaments from anywhere else - the chance to still come out a winner even if you aren’t the cream of the crop!

Both brackets are best of 3, Single Elimination, with the same team you’ve been using. So if you lose a single set here, you’re out of the tournament. Players were seeded according to their standings after the Swiss rounds, with Little Cup’s seeding beginning with the 9th ranked player.

While there is no designated time limit for final bracket, please play your set within 2 weeks or I will have to intervene.

Could you not top cut every single tournament

Only if it’s Gen 5 (tho I’m also not great in Gen 9)

@Lylebot had one last stand against @cosrob. The first game was relatively close (by Lylebot standards) but the luck didn’t come through when it was needed most.

@cosrob you’re facing @wisewailmer in VGC. Time for a rematch!
