    Smogon Tournament #9



    Tournament Rules, Guidelines, and General Information

    Specific Rules

    • This is a standard BW2 OU tournament.
    • The tournament will be single elimination.
    • Matches are to be played on Pokemon Showdown! *NEW* If both players agree, matches may also be played on Pokemon Online 2.

    Standard Rules and Clauses


    New Rules


    Example (open)
    Activity Win Request



    *NEW* :

    Players may sign up as a substitute if they either didn't join in time or their posts in the signups thread were deleted. If you are eliminated from the tournament (i.e. you lose your games, are substituted out, or drop out), you may not sign up as a substitute. I will endeavor to substitute players in whenever a player drops out, and one week before the Round 1 deadline, I will look through all players and activity win requests and replace any inactive players with substitutes. There is a very high chance that you will get to play if you sign up as a substitute. Substitutes will only be allowed into the tournament during Round 1. Substitutes will be implemented on a mostly first come, first serve basis, but if you are inactive after you sign up as a substitute then I will not substitute you into the tournament.

    Known Bugs

    Genesect has been banned from OU and therefore is not allowed in this tournament.

    Highlight Matches

    TheFourthChaser vs dragonuser

    I assume TFC has already begun writing his yearly quarter-finals excuse post, however he may need to prepare it a bit earlier than usual as he's going up against fearless competitor dragonuser. In this series, we see one of East's stand-out performers go head-to-head with one of West's most loyal combatants with dragonuser looking to exact revenge after West's World Cup victory. Will TFC's Blastoise be enough to slay dragonuser's dragon-types, or will we see dragonuser own TheFourthChaser and then go on to meet the first one, the second one, and the third one in later rounds? ~ Heist

    undisputed vs Ciele

    Fresh from winning the first turquoise trophy in Smogon's history, Ciele is set to face undisputed, a holder of a trophy that is also a shade of blue! Fresh off of sucking off Lavos Spawn, undisputed probably thinks he has a walk in the park as he's facing the guy that won "Smogon's equivalent of the Special Olympics." Will undisputed demonstrate to the world that Americans will always beat the British or will Ciele's cuteness and power of Shaymin lead him to victory? ~ Steven Snype

    Noodlez vs Gouki

    Noodlez v. Gouki is an interesting match; while Noodlez has never won any major tournament, he has always been touted as a very competent OU'er, and has been able to knock out some heavy names in OU in past tournaments like SPL / WCOP. Gouki is a man who needs no introduction, having beaten the Smogon Frontier and been an integral player in SPL while playing for the Scooters. While the Smogon veteran may look to have an edge in this matchup, his unfamiliarity with the new generation may prove to be his downfall. Look for a potential upset with Noodlez. ~ LonelyNess

    Myzozoa vs Nelson-X

    Another of USA West's integral players, Myzozoa, will now have to overcome Nelson-X, a player who barely fell short of winning a trophy in the recently concluded Smogon Grand Slam. Nelson-X defeated some of the best current players in order to make it that far against virtually all predictions. Now that the predictions may favor him, will he manage to come out on top? ~ Earthworm

    symphonyx64 vs Pocket

    At a glance if you looked at this battle you might be unimpressed, however both of the users involved have some rather surprising facts about them. Symphonyx64 is actually undefeated in the Smogon Premier League for OU, despite never holding a consistent starting spot. Pocket is more regularly known for his prowess in the niche metagames, like UU, but he is not without some competency in BW OU. Over the past two seasons, when he elects to play in the Smogon Tour, he is 11-3 in OU tournaments. Both of these players have a chance to break out in this tournament, so don't be surprised if this is a good matchup. ~ LonelyNess

    Maaf vs Vinc2612

    A battle between a franch fucker and a fake belgian is obviously an highlight match. On the first side you have Maaf, especially known to be the worst host of smogon tour history and french time's admin. Does he even play pokemon ? No one knows... but I heard he was good at Challenge Cup. On the other side, Vinc2612, a belgian-canadian-french-italian-spanish player who is a current top 8 of the smogon tour XIV. While Maaf perfectly knows Vinc's playstyle, Vinc doesn't have anything about maaf except this log ... Yes, this is gonna be funny to watch. So will Vinc2612 be able to stop Maaf clicking on Explosion/Selfdestruct every turn, or will Maaf show everyone his amazing skill in this amazing tier known as BW2 OU? ~ Ojama



    The deadline for Round 1 will be 11:59PM EST on the 16th of December, 2012. Any matches not played by this time will be coin flipped unless one or both players have submitted a request for an activity win.

    Thanks to Zracknel for the amazing logo!
