Welcome to Smogon! Take a moment to read the Introduction to Smogon for a run-down on everything Smogon, and make sure you take some time to read the global rules.
Just wanna give a massive shoutout to all of am for making PSPL fun this year. Gonna miss the battles and good times. Goat managers PearyGota Love Yaoi. We were here for a short time but it was a good time.
pluralist vs. tazz - tazz missed the scheduled time Saturday while pluralist was not available Sunday. The latter not asking for a substitute over the hour they waited for tazz makes things a bit less clear than you would think, but this remains enough to give them an activity win (especially since the series' result does not impact playoffs qualification regardless). za vs. Notater - Notater requested an activity win after za missed the scheduled time/the opposing team was not able to provide any substitute. Aberforthvs. Vulpix03 - no visible scheduling attempt by either of them or activity claim; dead game. Kinda meh given that the series was at 4-3, but eh.
This concludes the group stages and marks the end of the tournament for half of the teams. Thanks to everyone among them who played until the end despite sometimes slim odds of qualifying. This tournament is a rare opportunity for community members with various experiences to come together and play with one another, and will always be special (at least to me) for that reason. Whatever the end result, I hope you all had a bit of fun over those three weeks
To those who are still in the race, playoffs should go up in at most a couple hours. If you have yet to send your line-up, there is technically as much time as until then. See you soon!
