I used Mag/Claydol/Blaze. Found out there is no more high roll.:frown: 6 round, top 8 cut.

Round 1 vs. David A w/ GG
I think I got a pachey start to his sentret and he goes first. He decides to use grope my pachey.:lol: I call for stuff (my hand is horrid). he uses furretts keen eye next turn. I topdeck a celio to grab claydol and smash short. He then uses wager and I lose and proceeds to use keen eye. My new hand after wager Candy, Blaze (PK) and Magmortar, I draw candy to blaze play mag and use cosmic power for six and use smash short. He then brings up 1 of his 2 Gardy (he forgot he couldn't use 2 telepass) and uses psychic lock w/ a pluspower to find out he is 10 short (DRE). I attach somewhere and use smash short. he uses psychic lock for the KO.
I bring up a mag level up, attach a scramble, and KO him. he then brings up a gallade and uses psychic cut for the KO. I bring up a second mag attach a scramble and start to spread damage. Eventually we are 3-3 on prizes and time is called on my turn so I snipe his Furrett FTW (blaze GE)

1-0

Round 2 vs. Michelle Peck w/ Gardy lock (from Florida)
I don't remember alot about this game except the last 5 min. when she has 1 prize to my 5. I had an active mag and used fireball bazooka for a double KO. She brings up a mawile (CG) that had 30 on it and passed. I then level up, burn her Mawlie, and snipe something for a KO and she flips tails for another KO so now it is 1-1 when time is called and on her turn she has nothing and passes and she flips another tail on burn FTW.

2-0

At this point we started talking and she said she would've given it to me and also that she had enough to stall me out but she decided not to.:thumb:

Round 3 vs. Luke R w/ Mirror
He starts with a torchic to my magmar and goes first. He burns my magmar. I flip tails, topdeck an energy and do 20 (heads on burn) He then benches a pachey and uses wager and I win then he uses peck. I get another heads on burn evolve remove 20 and KO. He uses CFF to get stuff including a diglett. I attach and spread. He evolves into a dugtrio so I can't hit his bench:frown:and uses another CFF. I then KO his active and he brings up a claydol to stall. I level up, burn him do 60 he gets heads on burn he does stuff and passes. Gets KO'd by burn and I KO what he brings up. At this point it's 1-6 on prizes so I win by getting another KO (don't remember how)

3-0

Round 4 vs. Mark W w/ GG
I don't remember much about this game except that he used a rare candy on a furrett to avoid a donk but then needed it later because his last one was prized.

4-0

Round 5 vs. Kevin F w/ GG
I get a bad hand and get crushed.

4-1

Round 6 vs. Angelina W w/ GG
Shes 3-2 and thinks she won't make it even if she wins it doesn't matter because I beat her handily anyway. I don't remember much about the game.

5-1

so heres top 8 (no order)

Johnny R. (me) w/ Mag/Blaze/Dol
Mike P. w/ Mag/Blaze/Dol
Luke R. w/ Mag/Blaze/Dol
Kevin F. w/ GG
Alex S. w/ Blisscatty
Mark W. w/ GG
Spencer N. w/ Gator
David A. w/ GG

I am facing Alex

Top 8 vs. Alex S. w/ Blisscatty

G1: I get setup quickly and get a very easy win
G2: I get donked
G3: see G2

So I am pretty disappointed after getting donked 4 times in 2 weeks (all in top 8)

Props:
Michelle Peck for showing Spirit of the Game
beating Luke
making top 8
Mr. T for another great tourny
Spencer ... because he is Spencer

Slops:
getting donked by a guy who didn't want to be in the cut:nonono:
getting donked 4 times in 2 weeks

See everyone at regionals!

Spencer N. w/ Hurricane
and I don't remember the other person

It's Gatr. Call it Hurricane again and I'm never responding to another one of your PMs. ;)

Also, the last guy in T8 was your Round 1 opponent, David. I think you were his only loss. GJ on the day, bro, see you at Regionals.
 
I won't call it hurricane again (i also had no idea david made the cut as I was too busy being donked) also found out that the donk took 20 points off my ranking =(
 
GJ Johnny!!!!

Congrats on another top cut finish.

I'll be at league on Friday, so we can discuss the metagame and stuff.


(Though, Nats may be a possibility, depending...)
