Did you seriously think Mao could win? Even if Mao was the favorite the only thing in her favor is the type match up, which in the anime isn't necessarily irrelevant, but it's less important than stuff like actual experience and creativity/strategy.Lana, the creator's pet won.

Someone must really consider Lana as a scrappy. Piplup was given more favorism by the writers during DP, even right up to not letting him evolve because they considered his evolutions "ugly".Lana, the creator's pet won. What a load of steaming hot garbage -_-
Hopefully ROund 2 isn't 1 v 1 battling.
They could definitely let Lana use her Lapras, which we know at least knows Ice Beam. As for the TRio I can definitely see them combining their teams after either one is kicked out next episode. I'm a bit on the fence on whether top 8 should be more than 1v1s, though, since that's still 4 battles to show, and we're likely not skipping any of them. Beyond top 4 it's only 3 battles + the exhibition battle (that could very well happen a few weeks after the league, so having episode long battles would make more sense then. (Unless we're getting 3+ months of the league).I am pretty sure it is, since Lana and Jessie only have 2 Pokemon (While James has only one). I think semi's and final is 3v3, so they can eliminate characters with only 2, while Guzma, Ash, Gladion and Kiawe advance. Ash, Gladion and Kiawe have 3 Pokemon each and while we haven't seen Guzma's third yet, he also has Scizor and Golisopod in the game, so we might see Masquerain as well, since it seems his third mon in the games, as Ariados and Pinsir are interchangeable.
This episode definitely had some good moments. Mallow and Lana's battle was pretty good, and I did enjoy Ya Boy Guzma's battle against Ilima. Ash vs Faba was disappointing though, especially since it was treated as a joke. It was actually a pretty good episode though.
Is it bad that I’d actually enjoy that?Well, at least the Illima vs Guzma battle didn't consist of Eevee getting one-shot by Scizor, and Illima's fangirls bursting into tears while Guzma insults him.
I must say, I love Guzma’s portrayal in the anime. While in the games he’s become mostly a meme cow, here he actually feels threatening and a competent and ruthless battler. Studying Ilima’s battling style, speeding up with Agility and using the baby as a meat shield to get an opening was all so satisfying to watch (though not as much as seeing those annoying bitches crying in the crowd...)
Lana defeats Mallow
The subs are already out, and I just finished watching them. Mallow was just trying to be considerate and not let Tsareena get hurt too much, but Tsareena wanted to keep on fighting on Mallow's side.I don’t have subs yet, but on having a bad start Mallow actually tried to forfeit?
I guessed that it might be the reason. Doesn’t really change things much for me. Battling’s not really for Mallow, and she shouldn’t really have entered if she couldn’t tolerate Tsareena getting even the slightest bit injured.The subs are already out, and I just finished watching them.

At least she got the satisfaction of fighting till the end and using a Z-Move.I guessed that it might be the reason. Doesn’t really change things much for me.

Yeah, that’s why Tsareena is my favourite part of the battle. It motivated Mallow as well as put up a fight against Primarina. The sequence of their Z-Move is up there with the TRio's Z-Moves (as one entity) as one of the better Z Move animations.At least she got the satisfaction of fighting till the end and using a Z-Move.
