Then there you have it. My miss. I'll correct that later when I get to a computer.

A good battle. Mainly came down to sheer power. Good thing Concept toxiced me, so guts could boost up Flareons attack.

Another win for the count.

LC's mistake was that second nasty plot, as it killed him bad.

Karen vs Cynthia

Comment on this battle:

Spoiler: show
Gengar is very much my MVP, but Vileplume is fast becoming my favourite team member with another heroic performance in this battle. Nice to get a win, even if the odd slice of luck helped...was looking a bit hairy for a while when Milotic was out: always the Pokémon I struggled against in game ironically.


Thoughts on earlier battle vs Blaze/Green:

Spoiler: show
As Blaze said, my chance went when I tried for a second Nasty Plot on Houndoom- I was convinced he'd switch out Ninetales but no such luck. Vileplume put up heroic resistance but it was too much to ask her to sweep.

Second, there's no need for you to be engaging in practice rounds at this stage of the tournament. You already know how your team works (or you should, anyway) and so these "practice" rounds feel more and more like scouting rounds.

This was a long time ago, like, from the beginning of the week. :P

What is the number one enemy of sun teams?

A rain team.

Karen vs Wallace

My main mistake in this game was not switching in Gengar immediately on Gyarados and letting it get a Speed Boost in. That said, who on earth at Gamefreak thought a Moxie Gyarados would be a good laugh? Evil, evil creature.

My thoughts:
Spoiler: show
When Red faces a rain team, he declares "NO" and makes absolutely certain that the sun stays up. When Green faces a rain team, he says "GO, CHARIZARD!" and things go to hell from there pretty quickly.

I don't even know what to make of this match. Did Wallace win because he learned from his defeat at Red's hands how vital it is that he keep the rain pouring down from the heavens? Did Green lose because Wallace refused him his habitual practice match before hand? (Could that explain why he thought it would be a smart idea to bring a sun team up against a rain team? o.o) Did Green lose simply because SEAKING FUCK YEAH! ? I just don't know. But that was one hell of a surprising sweep. Well done, Kratos. Good try, Blaze, but it looks like the 10-0 tournament sweep just wasn't to be yours.

And with that, this tournament is once again anybody's game. Who will win? Will it be Lance with 8 wins? Green with 8 or 9? Red with 8? There are three people who can still get up to 8 wins and only one person -- Green -- who can seize the 9. If Green loses even one more match, it could be a three-way tie for first place. He has to win every single match from here on out if he is to reign supreme over the others as UPN 2011 Champion League tournament champion.

Just watched this one too. Don't want to give anything away, so straight to the spoiler box I go, but ...

Spoiler: show
Wow! Wallace is here to take names and play games! Step aside, Reginald! There's a new Fils-Aime in town and his name is Kratos!

You guys really love that Moxie Gyarados, don't you? I dunno. I'm still a fan of Intimidate myself -- it's very very useful for Gyarados as he already has a nice SpDef stat and so it pads his vulnerable Def stat nicely; it also forces some switches -- but there's no denying that Moxie has been tearing teams apart limb from limb in this tournament. First Lance (Kuno), now Wallace (Kratos). Whereas Intimidate thrives on switching the user in and out, Moxie is the night-and-day opposite: it wants to be left out in the battle field and never to be called back in. For a sweeper like Gyarados, that's arguably ideal. And we're seeing the results handsomely in this latest batch of matches.

I'm glad to see that Kratos's W:L ratio is now up to 3:2 from where it was previously at 1:2. When this tournament began, I knew that Wallace would be a dark horse contender for greatness. While it may be still too early to declare anything for certain, my confidence in the fabulous Water Gym Leader from Hoenn's viability in this Champion League tournament has been restored by these last two matches. Well played, Kratos. And a very good effort to you too, LC.

Two things:

I got cocky and lost a lot of people that I could have used.

HAX! Quite a few misses killed momentum on both sides. Plus, a Head Smash miss on Speevys side lost him the match. Sorry!

Okay, we're waiting on three two one log from tonight I think ...

Koga vs. Wallace (Round 9)
Steven vs. Wallace (Round 8 )
Green vs. Steven (Round 4)

Kratos (Wallace) can't find any logs on his computer, so if you gents lady and gentleman Concept would be so kind as to upload your log files, I'd appreciate it.

Concept, you've also got two other logs on the back burner you volunteered to upload but which aren't up yet. One is you vs. Cynthia (Yuki), which I need from somebody. The other is you vs. Steven (Speevy). (Just got Speevy's copy here. If you still want to upload your copy, though, that'd be nice too. The more, the merrier!)

Okay, I got distracted tonight on several occasions while in the middle of trying to update the battle logs and tournament standings. As a result, I'm afraid things may have gotten a little mixed up. (Hopefully not!) So I have two requests for you. First, check the battle logs post and make sure that all battle logs you've posted on UPN are there. (There may even be a few which you haven't posted on UPN yet which I went ahead and edited it in because you sent me the info on P-O.) But just make sure nothing's missing there. Second, I need you to check the tournament standings image below and make sure that it looks up-to-date to you as of this posting!


Because it is up-to-date as of this posting, there should not be a single battle missing from this table. Your W:L ratios are in the image, too, so check those out and make sure they are accurate and up to date. Any boxes which should not yet be colored in but are? Any boxes which should be colored in but are not? Any wrong numbers? Let me know.
