I will be there cheering everyone on. As well as doing a lot of side events. I might not have made the cut but I should still have fun with this trip.
Congratulations to everyone who made it! Sadly, I’m going to miss today’s stream as I’ll be out with friends, but I’ll try to watch the video if it’s saved.
I really thought Wolfey would make it to Day 2, was rooting for him. Some great players and friends of mine missed out, but that just shows the level of competition in the game now, it is much higher than a few years ago and I think it shows that Pokémon has made it much easier for players to get competitive.
Also, Rushan for Worlds! Let’s do it.
Aaron, I know you already have an invitation for the VGC but did you still play in these Nationals ?
Finals Huy vs linkyoshimario, please
Randy, make it to top 4, please
Sadly i was the one who took out OmegaDonut in to take 6-2. I feel really bad about it because now he has to bank on ELO to go to worlds. Hopefully he makes it…
I am Zach Crawford, but I go by Deadsouls instead. I got 29th place at this tournament and I am surprised that I made top cut in my first nationals.
I only just made a Nugget Bridge, but I wanted to say that I am Nicholas Seman. I had topped Nationals last year, and made day 2 of this year’s Nationals. On Day 1 I got 39th, and on Day 2 I got 36th. Definately did not expect to make Day 2. I started Day 1 with 0-2, and then won my next 7 in a row. Very wonderful experience.
