    I’m excited and surprised to see all the diversity when it comes to countries of origin. Rooting for Team USA and hoping the Russian guy will be able to represent his country’s scene!

  2. PreyingShark says:

    Wait, are there really 11 Japanese Masters who made Day 2? I didn’t even know there were that many in Day 1. o.O

  3. Jhoqk says:

    I see several of my friends that made it, but it is crazy that so many more didn’t. Either way, good luck to everyone on day 2!

  4. LithiumAcid says:

    Yuya Tada is @YTTPSR (Creator of Kalos Double Perish Rain)

    Yosuke Isagi is @tonykuso69 (Japan Nats Champion 2014)

    Yuichi Sasaki is @yuuichi-u1 (16th at worlds last year, qualified through LCQ)

    Ryosuke Kondo is @ryokonVGC

    Shun Fujimoto is @Shinon64 or @JimonwithTogekiss

    Daichi Kumabe is Scar

    Hayato Takahashi is @hayatostar1025

  5. 2 quid is good says:

    Bring it on #GBVGC!

  6. archimom says:

    Btw, since there were so few juniors and seniors, they made a few changes. For seniors, they did 4 rounds, and had people drop after 2 wins, to boostnumbers. That is presumably why they are listed in alphabetical order (first name), since they didn’t really have standings.

    Juniors only had 17, so they let everyone go through, but gave a bonus prize to the top 4 to make it mean something. (I don’t know what, since my daughter didn’t get top 4).

  7. Galvatron says:

    Yes! Baz,Paul,and James Baek,all made it! Those are some of my favorite players!
    Thanks for the info!

  8. lordyoyi says:

    Very proud for Omar Acuña, the chilean player that has one of the most amazing classification histories of the current worlds (he travel all the way from Santiago of Chile to Lima Perú by hitchhike for the two regionals over there and then make it to 3rd place on the Chile Regional getting the invitation to worlds)

    I’m betting for him as the underdog of day two!

  9. SoItBegins says:

    Where’s the source for this information? I can’t find the last two VGC rounds’ standings on the official Pokémon website.

    hey shun’s twitter is Jimon_Togekiss, dunno if you were referring to hatena names or twitter handles though

  11. LithiumAcid says:

    Yeah I was referring to the latter, thanks!

  12. Senior14 says:

    My name is Aniello Iuliano, not Luliano

  13. Level 51 says:

    The Singaporean Junior’s name is actually Corey Yuen afaik, but I expect you guys have more important things to do than to fix typos. Thanks for the info, really cut a lot of suspense out of trying to find who made Day 2 lol :P

    Really pleasantly surprised about Singapore’s representation though. Amazing to consider how we went from LCQ runs to 5 players across all 3 divisions. Good luck to everyone in Day 2!

  14. HunterxSmash says:

    Oh yeah, Eloy from germany made it to day 2! GO eloy ! Go Eloy!

  15. ninjafalcon2 says:

    Japan’s smeargle made it WOOT!!!

  16. Amazed that after a relatively poor season Team UK manage to all go X-3 or better in the first day. Really looking forward to seeing how they do today, and if any players will get featured on the stream. The stream matches, although lacking variety in players, were entertaining to watch and had a high level of play. Bring on day 2!
