Absolutely magical weekend. Honestly been reconsidering if I'm even capable to compete at this level anymore. I really needed a big finish for my morale, and honestly this was beyond my wildest dreams. I'll be leaving more info in the replies. Thanks for all the love everyone ♥️

Hey
@playpokemon
we shouldn't be learning about league cups coming back from random pictures of playmats posted on twitter. A little transparency from time to time would greatly improve player perception of how the game is run.

I went and did some digging on stream matches and results of those games. My initial thoughts are wow, Bo3 is a joke. The player who lost Game 1 won the match on stream 7/102 swiss rounds streamed this season. Game 3 was only completed 17/102 matches as well.

I finished 9-4-1 at EUIC. Should be good for Top 32! Here's the Shadow Rider/Whimsicott Vstar deck that I piloted for the event. I had a ton of fun and really like the list. Matchups will be in the replys.

If I had a nickel for every time Eder was DQ'd in top cut of an SPE I attended I'd have 2 nickels. Which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice.

People were asking for the list, so here it is. I didn't do great, and it's probably not optimal, but I think the deck is good. Accelgor definitely pulled it's weight. My loses felt out of my control, but that's just best of 1 I guess.

POKÉMON TCG TIP OF THE DAY- Start popping off on stream. The game needs more excitement and personalities. Everyone is so reserved and boring. Have some fun, talk shit, and back it up. Give people a reason to want to see you win or lose and bring some more attention to the game!!

The amount of thought that goes into every play this deck makes at the top level is insane. I know I am a very good player, but I dont think I could ever do this shit for once 15 rounds, let alone every other weekend. Huge props to all you guys out there killing it with Lost Box.

Edit: Andrew's name did have a table number next to it. Staff still should've found his opponent, and when his opponent said they had a no show the judge should've vhecked the slip.

Here's the list I finished Top 256 with at NAIC. What an Incredible season. Lugia got me all the way there with 1054 Points, finishing 15th in this years NA rankings. 7 months ago I thought I might not play a lot this year, now here we are. What a crazy run and a what a deck!

How does someone open this many Prize Pack 4s and not have their league banned? Seems absolutely ridiculous and so easy to track back to them.
Some contents of prize pack series 4 have been leaked. Non holo Klefki SVI, non holo Luxray PAL, the energies have changed too!! It looks like it is at least SIT-OBF. 1/2

The Tord situation has given me a good excuse to talk about something I've realized about this season. This is just totally anecdotal, but it feels like deck checks have been way less frequent this season so far. (Continued in Replies)

This shows even more negligence from staff at the event, and adds fault to the opponent, making Andrew's game loss even more inexcusable imo.

As long as this is right (which I'm 99% sure it is) I have finished Top 16 in this US and Canada Rating zone, and will be playing in Day 2 of the 2023 World Championships in Yokohama!!
If Rowan makes finals, GShen is out. Otherwise, this is finalized top 16.

Favorite deck I played this season: Lugia Vstar
Worst meta call I made: Lugia Vstar
Favorite card I played: Lugia Vstar
Deck I regret playing: Lugia Vstar
Favorite deck I played this season: Palkia/Inteleon, that deck felt like cheating.
Worst meta call I made: Mew at EUIC, bad matchup variance + suboptimal list after rotation.
Favorite card I played: PokeStop in Lost Box that card is broken
Deck I regret playing: see

I'm thinking about recording some VOD reviews, specifically of Lugia Mirrors. I've had a ton of questions about the matchup, and think it might be a good way to get around to that. Would people want to watch that? Should I stream or just upload videos?

Jimmy was one of the all time greats, and a great person once you got to know him. He's also the reason I'm not a 3 time regional champion😉. I think about Jimmy often. I hope he had some sort of understanding of how important he was to the community and the people he knew.
Another amazing fact by Limitless:
Jimmy Pendarvis, who tragically passed in June of 2021 at age 23, is *STILL* in the Top 10 NA players with the most modern era Regionals+ Top 8 finishes. Jimmy’s last recorded finish was in 11/2019, with irl events stopping from Covid in 03/20.

6-3 at NAIC, puts me into Top 256 of the event. Not feeling totally confident about the T16 race, but I honestly feel I played well today, even if the results weren't exactly what I wanted. Fingers crossed for tomorrow, I need a few things to go my way. 1054/350

@WamesGames
The fix is to let us look at our prize cards before the game starts, and then have them shuffled before being placed. Makes prize checking irrelevant, and so their intent isn't relevant.

Here's a pro-tipnfor you guys. If you spend more time traveling for a regional than you do in the host city, you're probably making a mistake. Maybe I should've skipped out on Vancouver.
