Here is the standings and then the playoff scenario to boot

Up to week 8:

1. Asia + Rest of the World: 14 points (+22 | 42 wins and 20 losses; 6 weeks won, 0 weeks lost, 2 week tied)

2. LA: 10 points (+8 | 31 wins and 23 losses; 4 weeks won, 1 weeks lost, 2 weeks tied)

3. Europe: 10 points (+2 | 32 wins and 30 losses; 5 week won, 3 week lost)

4. Germany: 8 points (-5 | 29 wins and 34 losses; 4 week won, 4 week lost)

5. Canada + US Central: 7 points (+2 | 32 wins and 30 losses; 3 week won, 4 week lost, 1 week tied)

6. UK: 7 points (0 | 32 wins and 32 losses; 3 week won, 4 week lost, 1 week tied).

7. US East: 7 points (0 | 30 wins and 30 losses; 3 week won, 4 week lost, 1 week tied)

8. Brazil: 6 points (-5 | 25 wins and 30 losses; 3 week won, 5 week lost)

9. US West: 6 points (-8 | 22 wins and 30 losses; 3 week won, 5 weeks lost)

10. France: 5 points (-5 | 24 wins and 29 losses; 2 week won, 5 weeks lost, 1 week tie)

Gotta give props to Asia + Rest of the World for such a dominance in the tour (they have been on playoffs since week 7, I created a monster), for LA for being very consistent in the lapse of 8 weeks, and for Europe for making an outstanding comeback like I have never seen before. Shoutouts TonyFlygon magic.

Germany vs Canada + US Central is a really big series. Whoever wins pretty much gets the spot with enough but Germany differential hurts it. Despite that, both teams have the playoff faith on their hands so thats very neat.

The decision of leaving the game Star vs Eternally as dead of a win depending on the activity case can be huge too (looking like a dead game so far) since that leaves East at 8 points if it is given the win after a case study (and could make Europe spot not even a guaranteed one)

So yeah, we will see what happens during the week but boi, the closure is looking hella exciting!

Reviewed the situation of Star vs Eternally and, as lame as that could be, Star was given the win cause Eternally totally forgot about it. Feels really sketchy cause Asia already qualified and shit but no need for me to think it was malicious. SPL and stuff make you forget things :v but oh well
Up to week 8:

1. Asia + Rest of the World: 13 points (+21 | 42 wins and 21 losses; 5 weeks won, 0 weeks lost, 3 week tied)

2. LA: 10 points (+8 | 31 wins and 23 losses; 4 weeks won, 1 weeks lost, 2 weeks tied)

3. Europe: 10 points (+2 | 32 wins and 30 losses; 5 week won, 3 week lost)

4. US East: 8 points (+1 | 31 wins and 30 losses; 3 week won, 3 week lost, 2 week tied)

5. Germany: 8 points (-5 | 29 wins and 34 losses; 4 week won, 4 week lost)

6. Canada + US Central: 7 points (+2 | 32 wins and 30 losses; 3 week won, 4 week lost, 1 week tied)

7. UK: 7 points (0 | 32 wins and 32 losses; 3 week won, 4 week lost, 1 week tied).

8. Brazil: 6 points (-5 | 25 wins and 30 losses; 3 week won, 5 week lost)

9. US West: 6 points (-8 | 22 wins and 30 losses; 3 week won, 5 weeks lost)

10. France: 5 points (-5 | 24 wins and 29 losses; 2 week won, 5 weeks lost, 1 week tie)

The playoff scenario changes a lot now. Germany vs Canada and the US East vs US West throwdown held the most important now. US West despite being mathematically out can defeat the plot armor if they really want to. Will be really interesting regardless.

Lets see what happens!

won gg https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen7ru-852748694
im glad to end this tournament with a clean 9-0
s/o z+v, who helped me during half of the ruwc
i'm still kinda sad france didnt manage to qualify, we surely lacked ambition, but our weak player base probably was our main flaw.
I'm sure we'll improve next year if you decide to renew this tour, it was a great idea MrAldo, thanks for making it possible.

won against my friend rylon, gg

im gonna take this moment to talk a bit about the tour. it was very surprising for me to manage this tour, and im really thankful to MrAldo for the opportunity. it was a great time and i really hope this tournament can happen again on the future.

despite we couldn't qualify, i feel like all of us did the best we could and fought to the end. i'm really happy about my score, even though it was not the best i'm glad i finished it positive. i could have played better in some games, but for my first team tour here it meant a lot to me. it wouldn't be possible without my brazilian RU friends who were always discussing and testing stuff. Giopato, Randomnick, Jeffis, Pinboim3, (you're portuguese but in our hearts you're br alrdy), thank you a lot for not ever giving up on playing, testing and building even though our final record was not the best. it accounts more than everything for me and im sure all of us improved a lot through this tour and will harvest the fruits of our labor on the future. CaCaTuA you surprised me a lot and did greater than i could ever imagine on BW RU, keep it on man. ty Spl4sh, Hydreigon Specs, Askov and Ampha for showing up whenever we needed. ty diogo, teta, gama and pablo for always being there with your experience and advice and also wrapping wins almost everytime, you guys are great.

ill keep cheering on to my friends on playoffs, and hopefully get back stronger on the future!

I won vs Elias PSY, sorry for the crits.. http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen5ru-853826977

If this is our last week in the tour I'd like to shout out my team for being cool and putting in the effort into this.
banks Hamhamhamham Taskr you guys put in a shift almost every single week, and got us some great points in the early weeks.. If it wasn't for some bad luck in your games towards the end we def would have got through in this
Osh fire teammate. Went through undefeated in this tour and pulled out some wins out of nothing, fucking well played dude.
barton it's been great playing with you, one of my oldest mates on this site and I'm glad we were finally able to play on the same team especially in the tier we both started playing
HJAD lol thanks for coming on in the nick of time every Sunday night to complete your games, cheers for turning up when it mattered
DKM I'm glad you got your win, you were robbed of a couple victories earlier in the tier so seeing you clutch against LAX last week was cool. Thanks for being willing to pick up bw and for playing when we needed you to
Espeonage. Diophantine SilvioGuacamole I'm sorry I wasn't able to put you guys in more. You're all very capable players and I hope to see you in rupl when that comes round
Alpha Rabbit The goat. Massive MVP for us, always making sure we had teams for everyone and came through even after uni work became ridiculously stressful for you. Def going on to be a strong tour player in future SPLs/Snakes if you have the time/ desire to do it

Overall managing was fun and I'm glad I managed to go positive in the tier that got me into playing competitively. Cheers guys and ggs
