Sejun giving Aaron a taste of his own medicine.
He asked me for the team on Facebook the morning of!
SEJUN <3
Sejun a better Cybertron than Cybertron?
I’m confused who won. Sejun, or Kamz?
so these were the VODs that Mohsyn and I found on ‘check that had Sejun using Aaron’s team with a Competition label xD
I wonder if he used Will-o-Wisp at all.
Also, another 3DS to add to the collection? If all the 3DSes he had from worlds were the ones that he won… I hate to see just how many he’ll be towing around in 2014.
Congrats to Sejun for another 1st place Tourney finish.
External Thanks!! The team was amazing, Will-O-Wisp Rotom is GOD!!!
I am Rotom-W’s least favorite Asian apparently
Interesting and unique teams.
Yup.
My name is Jinwoo Lee btw…
Wait, so people have received Pokémon X/Y already? Or is it just a free preorder?
They will be getting it upon release obviously.
