Mexico City Regional Results, Videos and Teams

On April 18th, México held its first ever Regional Championship in Mexico City. This was just the second Regional event in Latin America following the Buenos Aires Regional Championship in Argentina at the beginning of the month. The tournament was held at the Tlatelolco Convention Center, which featured a Live Stream on Twitch.

The Masters Division had 143 trainers who participated in 8 rounds of Swiss followed by a Top Cut of the best 8 players. Seniors and Juniors played their own 4 Rounds Tournament culminating in an international final with Cristian Milligan from Perú defeating Sebástian Alzate from Colombia.

Final Standings and Teams

These are the Final Standings and Teams from the Top Cut in the Regional.

Final Matches

As a bonus, here is the final match between Miguel Lope Moreno (ale) and José Campuzano (Joaquin). While Mega-Kangaskhan was the popular choice among most of the top teams, it was eventually Mega Venusaur who took the Tournament. It was a great surprise to see Jose using Mega Kangaskhan on a Trick Room team though!



The Seniors Division final saw Christian Milligan who traveled from Perú face Sebastian Alzate, a Colombian player who resides in México. With this win, Christian becomes a strong contender for one of the two paid trips invites for Worlds this season.



Final Thoughts

While the top players in CP from México in the Masters Division didn’t receive any significant boost from this event, we saw many new faces that will fight for those Worlds invites this year. This was a great first Regional for México with a lot of players having a good time. Seeing some of them with shirts of their “Pokemon Guild”, others traveling from far away states and even another countries, it hopefully gives us a taste of what is to come for upcoming Regional events in South America.

  5. Dorian06 says:

    Oh crap. I said suicune sucked yesterday :(
    This regional I thought really captured the meta. Congrats to the winners

  6. Dreykopff says:

    Rotom doesn’t exist.

  7. GoldenEmp says:

    I had a blast at this event! I even got to play on stream last round, even though I was at table 20. The narrators did a great job in the stream, too!

    I can’t wait for the second Regional we’ll be having on June 21st~, which I’ll be narrating on stream 😉

    As a fellow peruvian I’m really proud of Christian doing history!

    Some things come to my attention:
     

    • Suicune is almost everywhere.
    • No rotom
    • No clefairy/clefable o.o
    • Winning team has no intimidator and no fake out user which is very admirable. 

     
     
    PD: Had to quote, NB won’t load my comment otherwise.

    Suicune being most common mon is pretty hilarious.
    Also lack of Cress/Clefs/Rotoms is kinda odd.

    Muchas gracias!

    Yep, Christian won the Colombian Regional the past saturday, so he’s pretty much in Worlds, destroying all the other players in Seniors and Masters division.
     
    Having more Suicunes than Kangaskhan in the top it’s really crazy. Same goes for the lack of Rotom in the tournament. Now that i think, in the whole thing i just saw one.
