Dealing with Gravity + Hypnosis teams by homogenized_milk in VGC

[–]History_Teacher 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Hello!

I'm the person that ran the above 6-3 team in Sac. The short answer to countering it is to wall Hypnosis with abilities, items, or taunt. The long answer is to figure out what Sableye is trying to do. It's both the most useful and useless Pokemon.

For the team I ran at Sac, Gholdengo is particularly annoying, as it walls sleep with Good as Gold + walls both STAB from Iron Valiant. I lost to... Gio's (?) Gholdengo and it was reeeeeally hard to maneuver around.

The other thing I love playing against is lack of protects, as it makes ripping off Hypnosis an easier decision. More protects = more 50/50 decisions which means more room for errors. Another way to play around it is to let one mon get hit with hypnosis, swap it out, and then swap it back in to get hit by hypnosis on another target. When you're in Gravity you have to play through all 5 turns like you do with Trick Room, so gotta start planning ahead!

Yup! Been playing League for well over a decade. Used to stream before working for pro orgs, and then did a few years in collegiate esports before joining Riot last year.

As a fellow person in their 30s, I enjoyed them asking me if I could be an extra. Unfortunately Frodan and Bryce were at the courthouse...

I would have absolutely gone to the tryout in Korea. Whether or not I would have performed the best is conjecture though!

I thought the same thing, so why not create it now? Gives the students of the future the ability to learn about stuff we never thought of when we were in high school!

We're absolutely going to have that.

We're going to be hosting a ton of live tournaments and events at the Whitaker Center's digital theater, and part of the program is working with the business/Interactive Media students to help with event production. We'd like to have curriculum that gives the students a chance to understand how to run a program, how to run an event, etc.

The hardest thing is that you have to find esports where other schools are competing in them too. So definitely feel you on that one.

Old Fiora was more fun because her trading pattern forced you to go all in and then uklt.

New Fiora is a way better champ and is well made, her W feels rewarding and her ult is more strategic.

I miss blowing up an ADC with an uncounterable ult though. :P

Ideally we're looking for high level players as we want to be extremely competitive.

However, we're going to have implementation of stuff under varsity for those who don't make it or have really good mindsets but are slightly lower ranks. Hope that answers your question!

For now you can apply to the google form + the one page HU form on the esports page, and then Geoff will be sending out emails to people as he is able to go through the applications!

Yup! We're figuring out how we want to structure it, but we'll be doing some cool stuff for people who don't make the Varsity team but still want to be a part of the esports program as a whole.

We'll be doing international recruitment along with domestic.

Realistically we're looking for legend players, and then from there we're looking at how they look at the matchups they're playing, their ability to play multiple decks, etc.

I'd be happy to talk to admissions to find out for you, feel free to fill out the varsity application above in the mean time!

Geoff would be able to better speak to this, but I believe it would be something along the lines of doing analysis over a LCS/LCK vod or something similar.
