SS CAP is coming to an end, and there is no better way to celebrate the community that got me on Smogon in the first place than a massive, crazy money tournament! CAP was what first drew me to participate on Smogon, and while I am now active across the site, CAP will always hold a special place for me as the catalyst for my introduction to the community. The prize structure will be as follows:
1st Place: 40% ($400)
2nd Place: 20% ($200)
3rd-4th Place: 10% each ($100)
5th-8th Place: 5% each ($50)
Huge shoutout to the following users who helped me contribute to this absolutely massive prize pool:
The following rules apply:
Rules:
  • This is a standard [Gen 8] CAP tournament.
  • The format is best of three, single elimination. Quarterfinals, semifinals, and finals will be best of five, single elimination.
  • Changing teams in between matches is allowed.
  • It is required that you post your replays to avoid disputes.
  • All Smogon tournament rules apply.
  • Any change in tiering will not take effect until the following round. This includes the potential buffs/nerfs to Saharaja, Miasmaw, and Chromera. Should a buff/nerf go live in the middle of a week, that CAP will be banned for the duration of that week and any extensions for that week.
  • Matches must be played on Pokemon Showdown or Smogtours.
  • Please use this guide when scheduling with your opponent.

You've Gotta Try
is a Pre-Contributor
Ewin vs Revenge Killer : stronger imo
Azamat140499 vs blastablasta : the thing about stall in large tournaments is that it's an easy way to farm inexperienced players that don't know how to beat stall. Anyway blasta then beat an experienced CAP player specifically trying to counterteam stall even after loading the same team twice.
Potatochan vs Ikaishi
Gray vs faithviolet : Fun Fact, this match where faithviolet loads one of the most demonic teams I've seen the whole tour is fittingly the 666th replay compiled. call me crazy but i think this is split 50/50
Joeshh vs Winner of (MTB vs DEG) : Joeshh beating RaJ is actually less impressive than the fact that said games had me thinking about if Snaelstrom might actually have a niche and that sort of capability means more than any sort of performance thus far
JayHeaven vs Maxouille : JayHeaven
Failbor vs Winner of (Juicyjaguar vs pannuracotta) : pannu's gonna be too busy scared of BasedWhat's CAP excellence to prep properly and then Failbor sweeps with a DLC1 team or some bs idk maybe pannu also just wins
Winner of (jonfilch vs Nobodynobody) vs R1C3M4N : 2-1 johnfilche
anique vs shiloh : close game but gut tells me anique takes it
zioziotrip vs QWILY : can't really lean either way
blunder vs Andrew M : imagine getting free wins 3 times and making it to round 5 on a tour where you mostly just wanted to play the tier only to face off against mfn blunder. i have a very solid idea of how this series ends but godspeed
Winner of (hariyana grande vs noobiste) vs IronFlashGaming : gets the honor of the funny text
Sylveon used calm mind vs xavgb : the stresh
Lily vs Winner of (Jordy vs RaiZen1704) : also super close for me to call with any real confidence, even if jordy has played like 1 game so far which gives me, a worse player, the right to call him washed
Reje vs Winner of (talah vs D2TheW) : sat on this one for a while but D2 is still one of the best solo tour players in the pool for CAP and honestly i see his winning streak continuing especially so long as Maxouille is around because we all love this mu
TJ vs crying : for the culture
