Round 3 winner bracket matches can now be fought. Round 3 losers bracket still needs to wait for the other rounds.

Official Bracket

I'm also giving an extra week for the remaining loser bracket matches because some of them did not have an opponent until recently.}

You have until October 7th 2019 to do your loser bracket round 1 and 2 and winner bracket round 3 matches.
2 - 1 Vs. Darkbloom

All three were really intense battles. I still feel weird about the second one, I only won because darkbloom forfeit, but it could have gone either way, and the odds were against me. If paralysis screwed me just once, I'd lose, otherwise I'd win. I guess we'll never know.

Gloomy 4 - 0 Aja

Thought I was doomed with Zygarde having Prankster Topsy-Turvy since so far I've relied quite a bit on my setup boys, Xerneas and Necrozma, which both happen to not have solid answers against Zyg since the former was weak to Worry Seed. Gengar was mighty dangerous too, with its setup almost managing to overcome Yveltal, my 1 (one) answer to The Normalizer, lol. 💦


Anyway, I've had some really cool and tense fights this tourney and I hope everyone enjoyed it as much as I did. Thanks!

now please vote for a non-gimmick format next tourney, thx
Official Bracket

And with that, the final results are in:

1st. Gloomy
2nd. Aja
3rd. Orphen Nightford
4th. Ivy
5th. Darkbloom
6th. Nameless
7th. Lloyd
8th. Teff007
9th. Krak
10th. Mariotag1

Winning my own tournament would have been weird, and it would have looked like I rigged the games in my favor which I did, but didn't work. Although, part of the reason why I made it this far was because most teams didn't account for Normalize Gengar, so I managed to make my way to the finals with that.

As far as hosting the tournament goes, I'm glad every fight was done. I figured out nagging people through Discord to get to fight, was more effective than posting here, so I did that. Forfeits and free passes were an issue in previous tournaments, and I was afraid this problem would be more notorious in double elimination, but fortunately that was not the case. The double bracket did extend the tournament, but didn't cause any forfeit, so every placement on the final ranking was fair.

And that's it. The tourney's over. Take your trophies and go home.
