Another entro out-preping opponent game lol. Guard using a traditional 3+3 team vs entro bulky offense. The mu is looking fine for both side but probably guard will face more pressure as entro possible triple physical overlord may outrun lando+steelceus quickly and kyorge generally mu well against most of guards team. btw guards team is ultra weak to ice beam / gravity groundy so I think this is also part of the strategy as they may bet entro wont bring the same trick again.
The lead is lando vs orge. Guard make a little choke there as by the ability time lando is faster so he should click UT. Anyway, he directly goes to koraidon and take a huge hit from ice beam. The damage probably gave guard an illusion on kyogre’s item as this is a full spa ice beam damage, so on turn 3 when both side doubles, guard thinks entro is impossible to bring two scarf, and stayed mirai infront of scarf lando. To this point entro is basically winning because all breaking mons from guard is down to fartable and not hazard control from guard side means eventually ekiller and orge will win the game. Guard thought he has chance and successfully set all layers of hazard but at the point entro reveals boots on orge the game is over. With the threat of scarf lando guard are forced to click outrage, but stealth rock makes its korai can only come once more and that means guard loses weather control. With entro keeping scarf lando for steelceus and tera fairy to lock koraidon, entro secure his win beautifully. Gg

… no fairyceus switchin, are you serious aber you are one step away from getting 6-0 by cm stored power fairyceus
Notheless the typical ting vs gira happens again. But gondra is a super player he knows the mu is bad and go straight to tusk which is a very good play. Aber doesn’t have a spin blocker as well so at this point the situation is superhard for him and aber decided to make a gamble position with miraidon vs koraidon just clicked dclaw instead of going fairyceus. He succeed to click a CM and then tera grass solarbeam…
Again gondra is somehow aware of that and correctly sack giraO , what a god play there, and with aber did not aware of scarf tusk, mirai just die to scarf CC which pretty much set the tone of the game. Tbh , with gondra still have a toxapex, miraidon still has chances to do more instead of dying for a possible scarf but oh well I am commenting on a kibitzer aspect too so yeah won’t go too deep on the stay. Without tera, taunt cm fairyceus cant even outlast toxapex and with fairyceus+tusk+pex+katekeeper korai, aberforth can never breaks at the point miraidon is down, gg.
