states championship report

So I started of the day getting up at flippin 4:30 in the morning only to go back to sleep until 7:00. So basically I paced for 2 hours until I decided to play COD 4 until it was time to leave.

So I get there and do the decklist and stuff to get ready. I'm using Rush (empoleon/claydol) and playing for the new team I created with my friends, Team PWN.

seniors attendance - 34-37 people
rounds - 6
top cut - 8

Round 1 ? with noob deck

he starts with skitty and happiny and I start with pachi and piplup. I go 1st and COF for 2 baltoy and a piplup. he does 10 with skitty. I go and RC to empoleon, evolve both baltoy into claydols and cosmic powering to get my Emp powered up to beat him by turn 5. T3 I retreat pachi for empoleon and do 40 to the benched egg (happiny for noobs). Turn 4 I hit him with aqua jet and miss the flip. So I KO his last pokemon next turn FTW

1-0

Round 2 Boris with G&G/furret

I don't remember much other than sniping all of his ralts so he couldn't get gallade out. It was pretty easy, he didn't get 1 prize.

2-0

Round 3 Mike1 (mike diaz) with Magmortard/Claydol

Ok, this is basically an auto win but he put up an awesome fight. He kept setting up with his pachi start to my luvdisc start and thiings got set-up pretty quickly. With his scrambles that he used after I killed his mortars he was able to not get pwned. He was able to get out 3 mortard L.Xs during the game. Late game I was getting pretty hungry and in one turn he took a lot of time with so I just got hungrier. Late game it was 3-3 prizes and time was called. It went into SD and I got panicky. before hand I made a misplay that nearly cost me the game taking a Prof rowan instead of celio's with castaway. In SD he had a Mag Lv.X to my prinplup. I top-decked a celio's got empoleon and aqua jet FTW. Great Game MIke.

3-0

So now that there is only about 10 minutes left for lunch break I only get one slice because the line is so long. Standings come up and I'm 3rd.

Round 4 Dylan Bryan G&G with surprise tech.

I didn't know what to expect, I've never beaten Dylan so I was intimidated. So we set up with our pachi starts and he has on his bench 3 ralts, 1 baltoy, and 1 ?diglett?. So once I figured out he was playing dugtrio CG, I was like WTH!?!?!?!?! It really didn't matter since he set up literally EVERYTHING and pwned me. Great game Dylan.

3-1

Round 5 Alex Maiman with Magmortard, delcatty, Typhlosion

This is basically an auto win but I keep on my feet anyway. Since I basically ohko all his mortards. when I had 1 prize with him at 4 with him having just 2 typhlosions out and a catty and pachi, I basically had the game. GG Alex

4-1

So my friend Robert lost the first match and came back to win 4 (OMG!) I possibly could face him which should be an auto win (Rush vs. T2houndoom) right. Well speak of the devil.

Round 6 vs Robert chirco T2 houndoom

I get the worst possible start

piplup
baltoy
3 water energy
2 empoleon

and if I went 1st I might have won but noooooo.

he goes 1st attaches and passes I draw a windtorm attach and do peck for 20. He evolves and uses darkfire discarding darkness for the KO. I bring up baltoy and it is my turn. I draw TVR and inside my head I am like (yay I might have a chance) I use TVR and DRAW 3 WATER ENERGY!?!?!?!
So He takes that game.GG Robert

4-2

OK so the standings come and I make it as followed

1st Dylan Bryan 6-0 with G&G
2nd Mike Diaz 5-1 With Magmortard
3rd Robert C 5-1 with hounDOOM
4th Sam G 5-1 with Double Gust (swampert/mantineMT/palkia Lv.X)
5th Jason A (me)4-2 with Rush (Empoleon/claydol)
6thjustin B 4-2 with G&G
7th Zach Asklof 4-2 with G&G
8th Alex Maiman 4-2 with Magmortard/Catty/phlosion

so 5 people from my team are in (Sam,Rob,Me,Zach, and Alex)

So I'm playing Sam

Top 8

Game 1

I just got enough empoleon out to take out the swampert while he kep Drewing (whining) that he had 3 basic water nrgy prized

1-0

Game 2

He is able to get everything he needs while he take me out with Palkia Lv.X/Swampert. Not whining anymore I guess.

1-1

Game 3

We both set up and because I'm getting tired I'm not going to post the entire match. However when I had 3 prizes to 4 with 1 minute 10 seconds on clock he hammer armed me for 80 making my emp at 50 left. About 1 minute left and I just cosmic powered/supporters until time ran out making today the first time I ever tried to stall Sad

2-1 srry sam

anyway, the only people left in top4 are me, rob, Dylan, and Diaz. Although I thought I would play diaz to possibly get T2 I face Dylan.


Top 4 Dlyan B

game 1

He gets everything set up again and I can't keep up. I hate dugtrio.

0-1

game 2

once again the same thing happens but I start to fight back in the end with 2 emps with scramble.

So I got 4th, while Rob got 3rd. GJ Rob

Well, i really hate to say it, but good job jason.
I did good my first 4 games, and i had skill, i was able to beat connor. He was gonna win but i came back with a Master Ball and 2 gallades and a gardevoir to stall him long enough.
Who won first place? I bet Dylan did.
And there were 41 in seniors, and 37 in masters.
 
thanx guys but John I don't know who won so I can't post the final standings

Back to back posts merged. The following information has been added:

No 3rd/4th playoff at States? Is that correct, aren't the prizes different for 3rd and 4th place?
 
wait no im confused can i be on anti pwn AND pwn? lol and dylan STACKS his deck. no one ever gets t1 gardy and lade and t2 another lade TWO games in a row!

unless Diaz changes the name of his team then that seems like an oxy moron

and I think I might have a tech to beat Dylan even though I do believe he stacks his deck. He gets T1 garde/lade in nearly every game. On top of that he went 12-0 in one day
 
uum being stalled to death... hate it. going undefeated until last round agaisnt dillan. he cheats.good job though and how did i come in 8th?? i was higher then justin alex and zach before the top 8 i should have been fith. thats weird

dude, there was 1 minute left and a normal turn takes 1/2 of a minute to 1 minute. I used two Claydol cosmic powers so it really wasn't bad stalling. Now diaz right next to you was taking like a 3 minute turn when Zach was like dude stop stalling. so just stop Drewing man

I really don't know what the standings for 8 to 5 but I am putting them in order from who they lost to
 
I took like 1 three minute turn at the very end and when zach told me to hurry up, within seconds it was his turn AND not to mention his next turn which took just as long as mine or longer
+ i was using cosmic power just like you during my turn so it was definetly NOT stalling
