Loser's Bracket
The Artist... vs. Elysia - Ely will win because she will employ skill instead of hax
Morru vs. Soulmaster - Morru gon outpredict
Mikey57 vs. Monbrey - This will come hilariously close again but I think hope Monbrey can at least win this.

Mikey57 (Aipom, Archen, Elekid, Froakie, Torchic) vs. Monbrey (Charmander, Eevee, Gastly, Staryu, Treecko)

Elekid gave Monbrey some trouble early on, KOing Gastly and Staryu while Torchic beat Treecko. Analytic Staryu had some (all?) bad luck on speed ties against Aipom. Eevee nearly swung the whole thing around when Mikey didn't realize it was Banded, but Archen tidied up at the end.

Mikey57 gets $4500 + proceeds.
Monbrey gets $2500.
I should get $3500.

The Artist v Elysia
Gastly, Eevee, Machop, Stunky, Froakie, Chinchou v Yanma, [Carvanha], Pawniard, Drilbur, Staryu, Aipom

It was a common back-and-forth until Vultan made a misplay with Eevee that left him with a Yanma v Machop matchup, which let Yanma gain momentum and get rid of the rest of his team.

Elysia wins and gets 6000
The Artist loses and gets 3500
I ref and get 4000
