    Apparently Bjorn MeowJohnsson goes by Ishalaka on NB

  2. Will the teams be posted sometime?

  3. Eiganjo says:

    As I already told on Twitter, Salt Lake City videos are up, barring semifinals game 2 (video cut off during it) and Round 7 (Twitch muted some audio portions, will see if we can appeal that so we can still upload it in the end)
    Kansas city ones were done by Cybertron, so hopefully he will make highlights/upload them in due time.
     
    Great to see coverage on these, and hopefully will continue to have some more regionals where we can provide some good matches with commentary :)

  4. Seniors Results: Kansas
    1. Carson C. (Footballfreak99)
    2. Max S. (Max Deese)
    3-4. Tristan L. and Ian M. (raikoo)
    5-8. Kylie C, Jared W, Caleb C, and Max C.
    Sorry, but I still haven’t seen Final Standings, and only know of the first two with a surety. If you would like, I can PM you a pic of the final standings Firestorm.

    Tge teams will be posted after this weekend. I got several requests not to post the teams due to issues with scouting and the like. And very soon after that, the Usage statistics will be put out. Just need to do final editing and confirmation on the statistics.

    If that’s not an attempt to brag then I really don’t know what is.

  7. I think people really obsess about others knowing the Pokemon that are on their team.
     
    My opponents don’t gain an advantage knowing that I had Togekiss or Nidoking on my team before hand because they get that information in team preview anyways.

    I’m collecting all of the seniors teams, would you like those to be published with your post or in a separate one?

    pm me about this. They won’t be added to the usage stats, but we can talk about this more over pm, and as not to flood the thread.

    LightCore is correct 🙂

    Utah:
     
    Apparently Bjorn MeowJohnsson goes by Ishalaka on NB
     
    Kansas:
    Chance Alexander goes by Paragon now (formally Calexander1337)
    Eric Graham goes by ChaosElement (X?)

    LightCore is correct:) (and Light spelled my name correctly)

  12. KogaSaburo says:

    I’m Victor, by the way (For NB account stuff)

    Oh yeah and Juniors was:
    1. Parker H.
    2. Ethan C.
    3. Philip B.
    4. Harrison R.

     
    For Kansas Seniors, I’m pretty certain this should be the final order:
    1. Carson C.
    2. Max S.
    3. Ian M.
    4. Tristan L.
    5. Kylie C.
    6. Max C.
    7. Caleb C.
    8. Jared W.

  14. Paragon says:

    Hi Firestorm, I’m Chance Alexander, the one who got 5th at Kansas after 1st seed in swiss. Could you update the list so my NB name is next to my actual name like the others? Thanks!

  15. Paragon says:

    Also, I should have thought about this before posting my comment, but will the team usage for top cut also be posted?

  16. Braverius says:

    I heard that LightCore was working on the teams, but since Week 1 isn’t even up yet (or even ready to post) I’m probably going to go ahead and do it if there isn’t a news post queued by tomorrow.

    Nick said on twitter he is posting them next week all as one article.

    Ya I am waiting to post them because I got several requests to wait due to team scouting. So if I can just have till Monday, then everything will be up for everyone to see. Sorry for a bit of a delay.

    I’m requesting for you to post what you have now. If we get enough players to request it, it will happen!!!

    This is extremely disappointing. These are tournaments that have already been completed. If you wanted the information to be hidden, you shouldn’t have done well at the first event. In my opinion, these teams need to be posted now or we need to go back to the old way of aggregating top cut teams.

    Dont even have to. Talked to a few people. And while I’m not “happy” about it, it has been queued to be up. Most likely tomorrow or late today. Depends on what Firestorm or Feathers decides.

    Why not just comply with people’s wishes and just post whatever teams people are willing to share and add a footnote saying something like “this person who came xth place does not wish to share information about their team”. They might want to enter nationals with the team they did well with.

    . This wouldn’t work. If someone was unwilling tot have their team published, I’m sure i would not be the only one more interested in knowing their team. Individual team aren’t that interesting anyway. Most people wouldn’t be counterteamed anyway.

  25. It doesn’t make any sense to withhold your team from people. What they would see in the results would be what they see in team preview, no held items, no movesets; just pictures of the 6 Pokemon. Also, if anyone thinks that someone is going to specifically go out of their way to counter your team that’s silly. 

  26. YummyKittys says:

    What are these Kansas City regionals you speak of I thought there were Leawood Kansas regionals.

  27. Tmac says:

    Are people really this worried about their team preview being revealed? Come on, it’s not like team sheets with spreads are being revealed. All this really does is give a snapshot of the meta, this isn’t even actual team scouting and this level of paranoia is ridiculous.

  28. Unreality says:

    All further discussion of revealing teams should be put in the “Scouting thread” as it is off-topic.
