I am afraid this tournament is illegal. It is promoting showdown as a tournament platform while providing PRO in game currency as reward.

I miss that part. Yes it should be anonymous for everyone or for noone. No reason top 50 gets a different treatment. For the rest, everyone is free to use whatever set they like. I'm the first to get annoyed while being bamboozled by ridiculous sets and random plays from low rating players. But that's the game and being anonymous or not won't change that. I still don't understand your point or maybe be we don't have the same definition of sniping.

Why do you say "-1" and then "names should not dictate how you play"... that's the whole point of being anonymous... so that should be a +1...

I don't understand. How would they "snipe" you if they don't know who you are. Nowadays it is quite the opposite, we know top pvp guilds keep track of opponents sets and leak them to their guildmates. If you don't know who you are fighting, unless having a very good memory and remembering the team at first glance it makes this kind of practices much harder. And honestly, If my opponent recognise my team because he fought me earlier, i'm fine with that. I missed your point. My current vision is that he would prevent sniping a bit. If as soon as you start a battle you need to know the name of a player to win, that tells a lot about current pvp player base.

Hello, I am online now if you want

Added a few pvp pokemons + many tips for pvpers

From the community standpoint, this is really equivalent to : you queue for a random ranked battle in order to gain rating for you and your guild ==> there is no opponent ==> do a friendly instead (because that's what it is in the end). If we wanted to have a battle with 0 positive impact for our guild we wouldn't queue random ranked. That doesn't solve any issue, that doesn't answer the community needs. Instead it brings an additional issue... Our frustration grows with the fact we don't understand how something so logical and straight forward is not listened to.

Yes, as you suspected I had missed that one stairway

You are just a hero that doesn't wear a cape ! Thanks a lot !

I have the same issue and it's sad that since 2022 nobody answered this...

I know the rules. It is not a matter of playing fairly or not. The rules are written in a way that it is absolutely impossible for anyone to verify if someone queued/disconnected with the intention of boosting or not. Therefore, I cannot put myself in a position where I can potentially get banned on some moderator's interpretation. I know I will never boost anyone. Unfortunately no moderator can put himself into my mind. If I want to battle my guildmates, there is an amazing feature called "friendly battles" and I use it gladly. I am sorry but I can't accept this answer. And I am sure many people won't either. The rand PvP queue hasn't been more active than nowadays, especially since the PvP chests update. Now we wait longer in ranked PvP than in random, because even players with a few hours can queue it, and they do it and it's a great addition to the game ! However if the basis for your statement is to say that there are some moments of the day where queue is long... yes... and i don't think you can do anything about it, not impletementing this feature the community is asking is not gonna change that ! Believe it or not people sleep at some point and the population & timezone repartition is not balanced.
