EMPO VS VERT
Clash of the Phantom Troupes
The match for the ages, 2 player who has a knack for individuals, 2 player whose teams are used by hundreds, 2 players who are looked up to by many, 2 player with a near perfect record in olt playoffs.
FACES OFF, IN THE SEMIFINALS!
Empo,
has been INSANE this OLT. He only started his SV Journey during cycle 4 of OLT, so in just mere weeks he has gotten to the level of the top dogs of SV OU. Besides his first game vs Welliou every single round he has won 2-0 completely dominating the tournament. Just looking at the matchups every week, he always had the upper hand, so his prep is something to praise, even outshining the king of cheese Storm Zone just last round.
His performance has even inspired many people, spawning many fans that want to be him, Taking words from once a fan, empo's own BF (Besto-Friendo)
devin himself, he would clench his fist and exclaim.
エンポ、私の愛しい人、最高の友達、
(Empo, watashi no itoshii hito, saikou no tomodachi,)
アカウントを作成してから、私はいつもあなたを尊敬し、

そしてすべてを勝ち取り、舞台を制し、トロフィーを持ち帰ってください。

もう一度、エンポくん、私の愛しい人、私の尊敬の的。

MashaAllah
Which totally translates to
"Empo, I want everyone to support the goat, the best player on smogon. This guy has continuously proven himself and kills it every tour. He taught us how to click HJK 3 times in a row, Apart from being the best mons player, Empo’s one of my best friends on here. The honored one will kill it this OLT and take it home Empo-kun, MashaAllah".
Vert,
has showed us once again why he is the king of SV, probably top 3 or even higher. After shutting down the Cinderella Run by JJ09LIE, he is now faced with his toughest competition yet, matching his record of all 2-0s, aside from 1 round. Unlike Empo, Vert has played this tier since day 1, laddered it day and night and has shaped the parts of the meta on his own. Because of this, Every round, everyone shudders at the prospect of new Vert-Techs to surprise them and get the upper hand with never seen before combos. But oh, the trouble doesn't end there, Vert is known for his aggressive plays as seen in game 2 vs JJ09LIE, so even if you know his tricks, thats barely half the battle as you need to outplay some insane plays.
Many players flock to him for teams and advice. Be it a ladder player who just passed 1900, or a seasoned tournament player, If they want someone to look up to for SV, its vert.
SO WHO WILL WIN THIS MATCH????
Empo , someone who has just touched this tier mere weeks ago and has become a prodigy, even building teams for people who has played since the beginning. or
Vert, Someone who has played SV since DAY 1 and mastered it, and see things no regular players can about the tier.
TUNE IN SUNDAY AT 9am GMT +2!
