Livestreams at the 2013 Pokémon World Championships
While many players are arriving in Vancouver or preparing for their journey, many more will be home this weekend trying to follow along with what is happening at the 2013 Pokémon World Championships in Vancouver this weekend. We’re very happy to announce that Pokémon will be officially running a livestream on their new TwitchTV channel for the top cut and finals of both the video game and trading card game this year. The schedule is as follows:
August 10, 2013
- 5:00 PM – 7:30 PM PT: Video Game Top Cut
- 7:30 PM – 12:00 AM PT: Trading Card Game Top Cut
August 11, 2013
- 9:00 AM – 12:00 PM PT: Video Game Finals
- 12:30 PM – 5:00 PM PT: Trading Card Game Finals
For this year’s commentary, The Pokémon Company International has decided to pull talent from the competitive community rather than the gaming media. Video game commentary will come from Nugget Bridge’s own Scott Glaza (Scott) and Evan Latt (plaid). Trading card game commentary will be provided by Josh Wittenkeller (TheJWittz) and The Top Cut‘s Josue Rojano (Crimz).
During the swiss rounds, we plan to have an unofficial stream much like what we did at the 2013 US National Championships. How well it goes will depend on the mobile signal we get at the convention centre. We’ll keep you updated on that using our Twitter account. This stream — if possible — will happen on the Nugget Bridge TwitchTV channel. As always keep an eye on our Twitter account and the official Pokémon World Championships website throughout the weekend for updates on your favourite players!

Evan, you look very classy today.

Did what we could today. Hopefully you guys enjoyed it; stay tuned in to support our tcg friends and remember to watch finals tomorrow starting at 9 pdt. (12 hours from this post)
Evan and Scott really are just pure awesome and fun commentators! You guys even made it easy for my brother to follow along with your explantions of moves, effects, etc. You guys rock!

But seriously >_>
Has he retired?
I think it’s pretty obvious that Evan and Scott really knocked this one out of the park. Easily one of the most professional streams I’ve seen in a long time. Great job guys!
