I had the amazing privilege granted to me by the one and only RNG of winning the last ever DPP Round of the Smogon Tour.

R1:

Used a stall team made by tamahome, had a really good matchup and my opponent couldn't do anything about it.

 

R2:

Got lucky with Metagross hitting itself with confusion (ban dynamic punch) and even more lucky with TTar vs Suicune but I think I would've been able to pull it off. The team I used was an offensive team I had seen Tesung using, but not sure if it was made by him.

 

R3:

Haha finally a team I kind of made myself. I built it around an existing core in the RMT section, with Lead Rose + Scarf Tran + CM Jirachi + Offensive Rotom. CroCune proved to be absolute monster it is in this match.

This was a team a user Philip7086 had made. He's probs one of the best builders out there and he has a similar team with Scizor being one of the wincons but Agility Empoleon instead of DD Kingdra as the other. SD Scizor saved my ass and thank god for that heat wave-less Zapdos.

HONOR is another fantastic builder and player. It's the same team I used vs XPLOZ in PSL and was made by a user Jimmy Turtwig. I got incredibly, incredibly lucky with Suicune not getting poisoned vs Tentacruel and props to him for being so cool about it. It was really good to have a lot of smogon users shouting out my name because they needed me to win so that one of their friends (Finchinator) could make playoffs. 

 

R6:

Played my mentor mael in a round robin session. He wanted me to use a crazy ass team because BKC (a DPP God) was recording and who wouldn't love some spotlight? Hypnosis Gengar completely threw me off and you can see how bad my memory is because in the end I brought out Suicune vs Gengar when I could've brought out Raikou. Smh at myself but luckily the one turn sleep didn't bite me in the ass.

 

R7:

I have no idea who this guy, but hey he made it to the finals. Sub Kingdra was a big surprise but I had a bit of luck in this one as well. It's the team I used vs Gunthug in last season PSL, for those who can recall :)

 

All in all, it was a fantastic experience and it was great to see a tutor (mael) and his tutee (myself) tearing it apart. Unfortunately I don't play BW or ORAS so I wasn't able to participate in those tours, but for those of you who do, I'd definitely recommend playing it because it's absolutely worth it.
