DoubleJ Posted July 27, 2015 Author Share Posted July 27, 2015 Update: Congratulations to DestructX for winning an Official Summer Ball Qualifier this past Sunday and earning the rank as the 10th Best Overall Player in PokeMMO. With this win, DestructX was able to bump Haazuu off of the list and claim his spot at #10. This also means that [CiX] has two members on this list, second behind [LYLE] with five. Link to comment

KouteshiKun Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 (edited) Play some officials and you will get "better". I have played some but still i suck need more training i guess Edited July 28, 2015 by KouteshiKun Link to comment
DoubleJ Posted July 28, 2015 Author Share Posted July 28, 2015 I have played some but still i suck need more training i guess You just have to immerse yourself brah. Find a tier you like, research the comp guides provided here on the forums, and study the usage lists as well. There is a lot to competitive play outside of just playing, but then again, just playing is going to have the best results in making you the better player honestly. Link to comment
BurntZebra Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 You guys are silly. Can we get a clean up crew in here for this nonsense? Na leave it nice and dirty Gunthug 1 Link to comment
DoubleJ Posted July 29, 2015 Author Share Posted July 29, 2015 Update: In a bizarre turn of events that saw a server disconnect during the finals of the Blindman's Bluff, Raaidn was able to emerge victoriously in the rematch one day later. Despite Thief'ing leftovers from Gengar and ruining his Flail sweep, Raaidn came back with a Gyarados sweep just a few moments later to solidify the win. Raaidn is now tied for 3rd Place on the Best Overall Player's List with Burntzebra at 26.5 points. Link to comment

I mean it had a different format from EVERY other tournament ever hosted on pokemmo Link to comment
DrCraig Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 Not a gimmick, the bracket wasn't there, big whoop DoubleJ, gbwead and KaynineXL 3 Link to comment
DoubleJ Posted July 29, 2015 Author Share Posted July 29, 2015 Is that not a gimmick? I mean it had a different format from EVERY other tournament ever hosted on pokemmo lel, if you want to say that a tournament without scouting being a thing for 75% of matches is a gimmick then ok DrCraig 1 Link to comment
BurntZebra Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 Well considering scouting is "standard" for every tournament besides this one, I'd say its a pretty big deal lmao Link to comment
gbwead Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 Well considering scouting is "standard" for every tournament besides this one, I'd say its a pretty big deal lmao I wish all tournaments were like this one XD Scouting ruins the game :/ OldKeith 1 Link to comment
DrCraig Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 Well considering scouting is "standard" for every tournament besides this one, I'd say its a pretty big deal lmao Zebra look at me in the eys Stop being stupid You know this isn't a gimmick xSparkie, Headphones, DoubleJ and 1 other 4 Link to comment
BurntZebra Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 I refuse to believe its a standard though. If staff say that hidden brackets will be the standard, then I will concede. But if the rules are not going to be permanent for future tournaments, then I don't know how you can say its standard Link to comment
Kizhaz Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 The tournament format was standard. 6v6 OU singles. Can you honestly say any outcomes would have changed if we could see the bracket? KaynineXL and DoubleJ 2 Link to comment
KingBowser Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 Should be worth 3 points cause there was no scouting imo Vorred, KaynineXL, xSparkie and 3 others 6 Link to comment
DoubleJ Posted July 30, 2015 Author Share Posted July 30, 2015 Zebra please, there is nothing in the OP that designates a "hidden bracket" tournament being non-standard. The defining criteria is by how the tournament was designed. 1. Did not disclude any pokemon outside of its designated tier (OU) 2. 6v6 Singles 3. No modifications to standard clauses Sorry brah, but this one stays. I think Craig said it best though: Zebra look at me in the eys Stop being stupid You know this isn't a gimmick Hassan and DrCraig 2 Link to comment

BurntZebra Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 Zebra pls, that argument just doesn't hold merit. If you want to discredit all the work I've put into this then do so in a more constructive manner. This just makes you appear immature and resentful of your placement amongst the greats in this game. >Lyle person owns this page >Lyle person wins a debatable gimmick tournament HMM I WONDER WHAT THE PAGE OWNER WILL DECIDE. I mean I don't really care that much if you're biased, but if you are going to be, at least admit it. Link to comment
Gunthug Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 I wouldn't say he's biased in this instance - the "standard" criteria are listed clearly on page 1 and the no-bracket tournament seems to fit all of them, despite being out of the ordinary. I don't think it's as clear cut as people are making it out to be, i mean it's the first official with this format, so zebra's not completely outrageous for calling it a gimmick. I do think he's wrong though DoubleJ 1 Link to comment
DoubleJ Posted July 30, 2015 Author Share Posted July 30, 2015 (edited) Thanks gunthug for being understanding in this matter and helping to clarify from an outsider's perspective. Edit: If there was anything supportive of this aforementioned tournament being a gimmick, in the op it would be a gimmick. I hold no biases when designating tournaments and I've shut down LYLE players before that tried to argue against me calling something a gimmick that they won.
