Despite the "best" team didn't use a single Tapu, most of the top cut still has at least one Tapu to mitigate terrains. Honestly, just looking at the Top Cut itself and I can see how there's a push and pull between offensive and defensive playstyles, especially after the rise of defensive teams from the international event at London. There's definitely a ton of unexplored areas in this format that we've yet to scratch so hopefully this year will be rather fun to watch and compete.

Im surprised that we didn't see a single Oranguru in top 8, but after playing online it seems to be a little gimmicky right now. Maybe it will find it's place at some point in 2017.

The problem with Oranguru is that it really only has one moveset that people use. TR, Instruct, Protect, Psychic. While it is pretty bulky, the fact that the P2 set has a chance for status makes it the preferred TR mon.
