I needed 1st to get my worlds invite, didn't think I would because something unfortunate always happens no matter how much I prepare, but things just went my way this time and I'm very grateful for that. Thank you everyone for the kind words of support, see you at worlds<3

@EiMaGiVGC
being completely results-oriented and being obsessed with 1st place is honestly an unhealthy mindset for a game like VGC and I wish more people in the VGC community would understand this

Finished 30th at WCS2023 with a 4-3 record. It's a bit heartbreaking to be so close to advancing but I'm satisfied with how I prepared and played for this tournament for the most part. Despite the problems at this event, Viva La VGC, I'll see you next season. Shoutouts below

Was so close... Undefeated until the finals. I really wanted the back to back 1st place at home but I'll take 2nd. With this I have my worlds invite! And I'm on track for Day2 but it's not over. The series 2 chapter ends for me here, it's been fun, GGs. Some shoutouts in replies~

I ended up 1st in Oceania. Our season was a bit strange, with so few events which all happened in the first quarter of this year, but I'm very glad to have been able to show up and perform each time. I've enjoyed a bit of a break since EUIC. See you all in Yokohama

Worlds this year is just tainted. Worlds is meant to be the final stage for the best players to compete, but many of the best players in Japan and all of Asia will not even qualify because of the tournament structure/uncontrollable factors. Not to mention it's in Yokohama...

Ended up 7-2 at EUIC. Was 7-1 and lost the last round, it was a difficult team for me and he played perfect. But I'm really happy to get to play tomorrow despite having low confidence for this format/team, and I might be the first Australian to ever make D2 at EUIC. Cya tomorrow!

-keep getting the same opponents
-can't see your own rating/ranking

Byes are such an incredible deal in double elim, just for "happening" to finish in a certain seed you get to bypass potentially another two rounds in losers bracket, this is miles worse than the resistance system in Swiss

You probably don't care but this is the most devastated I've been. With many no shows, we should've only played 6 rounds, but it wasn't changed and then I got so unlucky final game after coming back 1-1 to 5-1 from play rough miss in round 2 then bubbling 9th

Finished Top 8 at Sydney Regional - was a really close match and I would've liked to go a little further but I'm content with this result, +100 puts me at 420CP 2nd in OCE I believe. Online comp next week and then EUIC where it's likely we'll get fissured, go 6-3 and miss CP😅

Sounds pessimistic but it's been 10+ years and vgc hasn't made it so I don't see this ever happening
It comes down to playerbase. If you don't play vgc it's a boring af game to watch. LoL is successful because it has easy entry barrier, thus more players, thus more viewers
If you were given complete control over VGC rules, planning, and marketing (with some ability to alter aspects of the game, like critical hit chance or accuracy), do you think that you could make Pokémon a major eSport? Why or why not?

Not sure how known this is
If you're planning to play the INC on 2 games, there is a bug where you will not be able to find opponent if battle box is locked on both games. You must finish your games on one game, then you can lock on the other.
That's why we can play 45 in 1 day

Don't get me wrong I'm all for inclusivity but I think it's a myth. You can only do so much to retain players. You're in or you're out, you either get good or just end up quitting, and I don't think any amount of persuasion can change that

I actually can't believe this, the skirmishes in SEA and hanging out with everyone there are some of the best memories I have of participating in this circuit, I'm really sorry to see this
It's a goodbye from all of us in the SEA TPCi Professors.

This is ridiculous, the
#1
seed in Oceania is a no show so the
#128
seed will get a free pass to round 2 for finishing lower than 1500. Can't say I'm surprised given the organising track record but come on...
So it turns out seeding won't be fixed so Oceania 1700s players don't get byes but a player that qualified less than 1499 gets a bye

None of this "wow I didn't even prepare and I won xD". You won't get any extra credit from me at least.

This quarter for APAC has been ridiculous.
We only have 2 majors, 1 in the zone: MEO and LAIC. There was NO shot at getting a deserving TA even if you won MEO without access to local PC/MSS.
Or unless you are able to go AC, Knoxville and Portland which are in the USA, not APAC

Funny because people asked me this too. Garchomp was great for me and I never missed Great Tusk as I had clear, defined reasons for selecting Garchomp instead. Maybe Great Tusk is a better pokemon overall but not always the right ground choice for a team
A lot of people asking me why I used Garchomp over Great Tusk on my Natal regional team. This really confuses me.
Chomp has better typing, ability, bulk distribution and speed, while having the same base attack as Tusk…

It's not OK to take 1 minute to make your move every turn
"My connection is unstable" is not an excuse, it's your responsibility to be playing on a stable connection
Do you think companies give an f when your connection cuts out during one of their tests or interviews?
