Here we are again with
Smogon Tour Playoffs History Spreadsheet, which I will get updated through Playoffs.
Little datas for the moment:
- First playoffs ever for Chill Shadow, Jimmy Turtwig, Obliviate, Posho, The Quasar. Most experienced users here are SoulWind and Ciele, with 6 playoffs done including this one. If you're wondering, Malekith did 5, BKC and xtra$hine did 4, while the remaining users did 2.
- xtra$hine extended his record of longest time span between first and last playoffs played. Indeed, xtra$hine got to playoffs during Season 9 for the first time (record was up to Season 20 until now).
- dEnIsSsS, Finchinator, FLCL, Omfuga and Reymedy never went past Round 1, so we wish them to break this record
- Malekith and xtra$hine have to respectively go past Round 2 and Round 1 in order to stop their Playoffs downward trend. Malekith reached Finals in Season 13, Semifinals in Season 14, and Round 2 in Seasons 16 and 21. xtra$hine reached Semifinals in Season 9, Round 2 in Season 12 and Round 1 in Season 20.
- Ciele, as every Smogon Tour winner, should go past Round 1 to not incur in "Season winner's curse" which happened to Veteran In Love, Earthworm, Loki, Golden Sun and McMeghan. This "curse" basically is that the previous Season winner had lost at Round 1 of following Season.
- Noone of the current pairings already happened in the past
- The following pairings could happen again though: SoulWind vs Blunder (S21 R2), Ciele vs Malekith (S21 R2), BKC vs Malekith (S16 R2), SoulWind vs Malekith (S13 R2)
