Re: Format

Based on player signups and manager discussion, RBYPL IV will be 10 slots.

• RBY OU (Best of 5)
• RBY OU
• RBY OU
• RBY OU
• RBY OU
• RBY Ubers
• RBY UU (Sleep is Legal)
• RBY NU
• RBY PU
• RBY Random Battles (Best of 5)

RBY PU and RBY Random Battles will both debut in RBYPL IV. RBY Random Battles had excellent player signups in terms of numbers and quality, and while RBY PU lacked in numbers, consensus across the RBY community was for its inclusion.

I offer my sincerest condolences to the six players who will have to play RBY UU for 8 weeks

I offer my sincerest condolences to the six players who will have to play RBY UU for 8 weeks

their sacrifice is necessary for the greater good of the lower tier ecosystem. without these brave troops NU and PU would stagnate.

 

[Sabelette]

Frrf and I are holding tryouts for Glacial Articuno! Feel free to join to drop some replays, a resume, or play some tryout games with me or others. We will give everyone a fair chance to post some accomplishments or play some games, so newer/less established players - shoot your shot! You can't get drafted if nobody knows what you can do!

I totally agree! You all should definitely join since it's a great place to learn how to get 6th in rbypl!

 

[Melbelle]

edit: i think people know now but i dont know why this was never announced anywhere but the uu thread

Re: Egor

After the auction, the hosting team received a request from the Pampu Primeapes and the Washed Wartortles to trade Tarvold for Egor. This request was denied as RBYPL rules do not allow trades whatsoever. Unlike Tarvold and despite joining the Washed Wartortles teamcord, Egor has shown no interest in helping their team and kept on cheering the Pampu Primeapes instead.

As a result, Egor will be removed from this tournament, barred from RBYPL V, and infracted for poor sportsmanship. The Washed Wartortles will be allowed to pick one replacement from the pool of undrafted players.

Re: Egor 2

Upon further review, the hosting team believes that Egor did not act with any malicious intent. Egor specified to their managers that they were fine playing and helping the Washed Wartortles after the auction. After a bit of harmless shitposting and because their managers feared some cancering, Egor was then kicked out of the team discord server and never allowed back in, without any explanation from their managers. Since Egor was denied any possibility to meet the minimum activity expectations outlined for participating players, we believe the situation does not warrant any infraction. However, both parties agree that Egor should stay out of the tournament at this point.

As a result, Egor is removed from RBYPL IV. Their infraction will be revoked and they will be allowed to participate in the next edition of RBYPL. The Washed Wartortles failed to give them the benefit of the doubt and denied them any possibility to show activity to help the team. Therefore, the Washed Wartortles will not be allowed to pick a replacement.

I personally apologize about the whole situation in the name of the hosting team as we failed to investigate enough prior to making the above decision.

RE: the Egor situation

I have been keeping myself completely silent about this situation, but now that it is over, I think it's time I write a few words about this.

Disclaimer: I won't be giving my opinion on this matter, and chose not do it throughout the whole thing, as giving it means I'd have nothing to gain and very much to lose just by doing it, regardless of what my opinion was. I'm sure that if you put yourself in my shoes, most of you understand why that's the case. And honestly, even to myself, my opinion stopped mattering a long time ago, because something much worse came out of it. Which brings us to the reason why I'm writing this post.

The drama that ensued because of this situation (mostly on the rbycord) was absolutely disgraceful. And everyone is at fault here. People from my team, people from the Pampus, and even outsiders. At some point along the way this became much more about "the Egor vs Kaz situation" than about the tournament itself, the games, and having fun as a community. At points, some of the highlights of the tournament's weeks were being played, and yet what kept being "discussed" (can I even call it a discussion?) was this situation. What's this about after all, playing and watching some RBY, or about discussing and adding more fuel to the next piece of drama that popped up? Because judging on some situations where people chose to bring this up, it sure looks like it's about the latter.

There were no winners or losers in this, no one that is right or wrong. Only losers. We all lost, the Wartortles, the Pampus and especially, the community as a whole.

I've already spoken to the parties involved in our team about this, and I won't reach out to anyone in particular about this outside of it. But I hope that you at least give it a thought to whether it was worth it. I think most of you will see it was definitely not.

 

[BeeOrSomething]

With the possibility of winning against the Dewgongs no longer there, the Pampu Primeapes have officially been eliminated from RBYPL IV.

It's unfortunate, to say the least. I know every one of us is an amazing and talented player. But sometimes the game just didn't give it to us, and other times we made mistakes. And that's ok, things happen in a game like Pokemon, and nobody is perfect. That doesn't mean it doesn't hurt, it just is what it is.

I loved teaming with all you guys. We had a great culture in the server, fucked around a shit ton, and I do believe we did our best, even if we fell short in the end. I hope all of you go on to do great things in mons in the future, and who knows maybe even team again for a future team tournament ;)

Real Shoutouts

JVG - By far the MVP. It's not even close. You constantly did an ungodly amount of work to strive to make everyone the best they can be, hard carrying the prep by a country mile and playing practice games and refining play even in lower tiers where you didn't know that much about. You are the goat. I can’t wait to see you play again next year. Thank you for always being my friend and having faith in me.

Ctown - You didn’t get to be around as much as any of us liked, especially yourself, due to IRL, but you were a great captain to have around. Whether it was us jokingly bashing you, you being a drunkard, or us praising you for being great and winning even with jank, it was a blast. Thank you giving me the chance to play for you and try and prove myself.

Acetyl - You have an amazing work ethic and drive to get better. You try a lot. And it definitely showed in your play. You have a ton of promise, and you were a fantastic teammate.

Torchic - NU was not your tier, but in Ubers you balled out. You were a huge help with our NU even when you weren’t playing the tier yourself. And of course, I can’t forget the Torchic quips of pure wisdom that made us laugh. I’m glad we got to play together again. Torchics forever.

Tarvold - For the good of the team (and the insistence of JVG), Tauros for once saw a usage rate of more than 50% by you, though whether that ended being good or bad, we will never know. Jokes asides, the game didn’t always give it to you, but you played your best and you have amazing fundamentals. I wish you the best in circuit champs. Go kick ass.

UD - You are the UU goat. We never had a doubt in you. Your record showed 3-2, but all of us see a 5-0. Always played amazingly. I hope we get to team again and that the rest of your UUSD turns brighter.

Tyler - You didn’t talk much, but you were a hard carry. Rands legend. Maybe one day you will venture into OU…

Bohrier - You only got to start one week, but you were always helping with NU and you were a fun presence. Hope to see you do well and get better next year.

Enigami - Second time teaming with you, and it was just as fun as the first, albeit without the team success. It didn’t go as well for you this time, but it doesn’t detract from my belief that you are an insanely capable player and a good guy to be around. Hope to see you next ALTPL!

Gastlies - I’m sure it was an unsatisfying tour for you, but you are still one of the best PU players, a solid OU player, and a very fun person. Go show off in circuit champs.

Diannie - You clutched up hard for us in terms of filling out the PU and NU slots when other players were down a little, and you put in the work to try and win. I hope you are able to see success.

Tim - Cloyster man, USSR hax showed up big time. You are a funny jokester and a good player, it was nice to team with you.

Egor - The troll. We were all very happy to have you along with us for the ride after certain events happened, and you were a huge part of helping make the tour as fun as it was. Maybe next RBYPL you can even play too

Dawn - The memer. You basically don’t play RBY at all but you were a fun sarcastic joker to have around and helped brighten the mood. Now all that’s left is for JVG and I to brainwash you and then turn the CEO into the next RBYenius….

Shock - You don’t do anything but ADV, but you helped us a lot with doing scouting despite that, and you were good to talk to. I look forward to your future RBY career.

Ainz - Didn’t join until week 3/4 (idr), but it was funny to have you around (especially after all the Ainz Tree and Ainz Cat stuff), but you provided some useful insight and you are always a funny and nice guy. Now, play RBY when…

Zerkas - You basically did nothing but it was fun to annoy you looool

el genio.

I’m kinda running out of words so sorry if I was redundant. Thank you all, I’m happy we got to team together. Next year will be our year, I’m sure of it.

Putting this many Ainz Trees takes a lot of attachments looool

May Pampu be with us all.

PAMPU FOREVER
