ThinkNice Posted June 14, 2015 Share Posted June 14, 2015 (edited) #theclimb #top4 #spheals2stronk #battleforplayoffs Some interesting observations: Spheals: Spheals have solidified their number 1 spot with still 1 week to go no matter what happens Shitname: It's important for Shit Name to either tie or win so the Nidokings can't take their #2 spot with a win. Nidokings: Can still aim for the #2 spot, however if they lose they still risk missing the playoffs! Forretress: They have to win, even with a tie they risk getting knocked out of the top4 Revolution: Has a big chance of making the top 4 if they get the win and the Forretress loses or draws. Revo vs Heroes is by far the most crucial matchup of this week. Heroes: Have to aim on winning against Revolution, if they lose they are out for sure Riga: Unfortunately have no hope of making it to the playoffs because of being behind 4 PV on the Heroes and because they Heroes are facing Revolution. If Revolution and the Heroes both faced different opponents Team Riga had a shot. They can still, however, make life miserable for the Forretress and make i a challenge to get to the playoffs Mountain: probably the most terrible performance in PSL history. As a reminder: Sportsmanship [spoiler]You will respect your teammates and above all you will respect your manager. If you got drafted by a manager you don't like or want you will have to put these feelings aside. Signing up is like signing a contract, and these are conditions you have to accept. Disobeying your PSL duties will result in blacklisting. At any point of time the host can give you a warning or a restriction based on your behavior. Don’t act like a uguu and you should be fine. Trying to purposely evade matches, or not trying to get your match done for example can result in penalties. It’s fine to have a little bit of drama, in fact in can make the whole PSL experience more enjoyable. Don’t push it though and please refrain from flaming excessively. Try to keep interaction on a human level so we can all avoid large scale drama’s. Picking on players is fine as long as it doesn’t turn in to harassment.[/spoiler] Usage statistics [spoiler] PM Usage Stats to: UsagePSL! Giving usage stats will be followed more strictly now: Not giving Usage stats in a week will result in a yellow card. A second yellow card will result in a red card. A red card means you can't be play for 2 weeks. After these weeks you are down to 1 yellow card again. I won't PM you as a reminder to give me your team. If your opponent PMs me their team, I'll most likely add you to the conversation. Usage statistics are a part of the PSL and as you signed up you agreed to the terms. I have to know the six Pokémon you used for whichever week so I can add it to the statistics. Now you can give me your team before or after your battle has been done. As I am a neutral party and absolutely unbiased I can promise you your team will not be exposed. If you already know which six Pokémon you are going to use I would advise you to PM me your team beforehand in case you forget.[/spoiler] Ghosting & Coaching [spoiler]To all managers and players I would like to say: please refrain from coaching or ghosting for someone. Ghosting, playing on another person’s account, is an officially ban-able offense. Coaching is not but it does take away from competition like it is meant to be. As a manager or a team member you should have confidence in the ability of your teammate. As a player standing from the sidelines you should have respect for a player’s ability. Helping with practicing is absolutely fine and helping with teambuilding is also good, in fact I would encourage these activities. The grey area is telling what an opponent’s Pokémon set could be or what a player should watch out for. Some battlers find this irritating as it can ruin the surprises but some are fine with it, so keep this in mind (read: ‘Revealing Teams & Sets).[/spoiler] Revealings Teams & Sets [spoiler]Publically revealing teams before a battle by any means is not allowed and you will be punished. Do not publically announce teams. I don’t care what you do in your team PMs, but in threads or during matches do not do this. There have also been complaints about players shouting out moves during the battle that could be a legit possibility. (Like ‘Thunder Dragonite!’). Shouting things like this may mess up the course of the battle so please always keep this in mind, all we want is a good competitive atmosphere. Speculating really obscure moves is not harmful. Like: ‘Brick Break Gengar!’. Neither is it to say really obvious moves like ‘inb4 Wish on Vap’ or ‘inb4 Ice Beam on the Dragonite’. I will politely ask you to work on this kind of behavior so we can have a battle like its meant to be. Between two players, nothing more.[/spoiler] Getting your battles done [spoiler]This is largely in the player’s hands and there is not much to do about it. I can however try to award the player that is actively trying to get his match done as opposed to neglecting someone’s effort. Follow these guidelines to get your battle done in time or to at least secure a victory for your team in case of player inactivity. Every week will have a separate thread within it the week's match-ups and including a deadline for that week's matches. When you agree on a time you must post in the weekly thread the time and date you agreed on or ten minutes before your match starts. IF YOU DO NOT DO THIS the match will be forfeit on both sides. ShowDown players are required to always provide a replay of their match, or this match will too be forfeited. Within 48 hours after the Weekly Match-Ups are posted: PM your opponent with at least 3 different time ranges you will be available, at least 2 must be at least 24 hours apart. Post in the thread stating that you have contacted your opponent. If neither opponent does this: you risk a substitution (getting put out of a team due to inactivity) or a no-contest match. Don't risk yourself or your own team. Within 72 hours after the Weekly Match-Ups are posted: Respond to your opponent either agreeing to one of the proposed times or, if none of them work for you, respond with at least 3 time ranges that will work for you When a time is agreed on, post in the weekly thread with the time of the battle If you do not respond before the 72 hour limit: you must still respond 48 hours before the deadline. 48 Hours before the Weekly Deadline: If neither opponent has PM'd with a time: The match is considered no-contest and does not count for either team. If your opponent responds but doesn't do that within 72 hours of the Weekly Match-Ups are posted you are required to respond in 24 hours. You may accept the times given by your opponent or give 3+ new times that your opponent has to accept. If one opponent PM'd within the timeframe and did not receive a response from the other player: The player who did not respond forfeits the match. It is a Win for the player who sent a PM and a Loss for the player who failed to respond. Of course after the battle is done report in the weekly thread that you won or lost. Huge thanks to Imgur for summarizing it in a clearer way and to Aldaron from Smogon for the system.[/spoiler] The Heroes of Light (5) vs (3) Team Revolution OU1: Baraccus vs BlueJim OU2: Xxeitoxx vs XPLOZ UU1: Haazuu vs Forfiter UU2: Mikrospaixths vs TheFireLion Doubles: NightLucifer vs eloyriptor ADV OU: Linken vs Varathorn DPP OU: Inarin vs PokemonMagnet VGC 2015: OldKeith (2) vs (1) SirVector Team Riga (4) vs (3) Team Forretress 2 OU1: xXKhryon vs Qbeertje OU2: xLuLu vs Legenl UU1: dededoge vs Kyzukun UU2: leorodo vs BurntZebra (no contest) Doubles: Schuchty vs EricTheGreat ADV OU: Spaintakula vs Amanu DPP OU: Gunthug vs Raptori VGC 2015: DoctorPBC (2) vs (1) Shaniqualela The Narcicistic Nidokings (5) vs (3) Team Mountain OU1: yangsam vs xXLegacyGiXx OU2: BlueBreath vs Morrizbel (activity) UU1: overToasted vs JonazDK UU2: walpayer vs JSTUD Doubles: JIce vs raaidn ADV OU: LeTyrone vs AQA DPP OU: Noad vs Artemiseta VGC 2015: PandaJJ (2) vs (0) Codylramey Spheal Team 6 (4) vs (3) Shit Name Inc.
