would just like to say that the stupid 'omg metagamed' rumour floating around is petty and disgusting. ew and i are making an rmt of the team we've been using, which he used vs. dawnbringer. the team he used vs. husk is very similar in structure, just with different pokémon. obviously, he would change his team at least a little. and the two set-up sweepers are exactly the same: bulky wish cm jirachi with psychic/tbolt and jolly LO sd lucario with cc/xspe/crunch. lucky matchup. trust me, i'd know if he'd counterteamed. also i've heard stupid evidence like 'he predicted metagross coming in'. he wanted to paralyse husks jira, not the gross, which he had no idea was coming. can everyone just stop being ridiculous? this tournament has been plagued with drama in the thinly-veiled 'trash-talking' format this year and it's depressing.
yeah, these were disappointing matches, i fully agree, even for someone who wanted ew to win. thats not ew's fault or the fault of anyone on oceania. i know some people dont believe dppt hinges on team matchups but there's a huge emphasis on them whether you like it or not, especially for offensively-oriented teams.
also whoever decided to scout husk is just as petty.
gg oceania, asia, and every other team.
ps i like everyone on team azn, no hard feelings meant in this post<3 im just sick of this crap and i dont blame people for thinking it, i just think its stupid and esp. needs to stay out of the thread.
