Japanese and Korean players were not permitted to enter.

Slightly surprised about ranking in the 40s, people were telling me I’d rank around top 128.
Congrats to everyone who secured points.
Haha, I didn’t secure any points. Oh well.
Congratulations on your fine performances, friends!
rank.95
my last battle still haunts me, I was 1740+rank paired up with 1500+ rank(trick room team) and I lost…lol hahahaha
…lol @ “International”
Quite a few familiar names in there. Glad to see the points went to those who deserve it.
I can’t believe I got 3rd. Really happy with my 10CP.
Glad I managed 2 CP and all, but I’m gutted I finished 65th! One place below 3 CP, I left games unplayed too to protect my ranking
Yay I got 1 championship point
I got 1 CP, anyone knows when will be updated?
Btw, one brazilian at 30th place, nice.
Wow… literally half of the number of competitors compared to February’s, and this one counted! What gives?
I will be recieving 2 CP! (Along with 1 PP hopefully,) Have they applied this to accounts yet?
Got one CP with Itemless Landorus-Therian (it was an accident). Oh well, i had fun.
Managed to get 1cp not too bad if I do say so myself. Definitely a lot better then the past ic I’ve competed in
Did anyone else run into a problem where one of their games wasn’t recorded? My very last game (a win, no less) wasn’t listed on the PGL website, so even though my cartridge said I played 30 games, my rating result was 20-9 (should be 21-9) at 505th place. The extra win probably wouldn’t have gotten me any CP, I’m just curious if this happened to anyone else.
Good games to everyone I faced!
Really interesting that Hydreigon cracked top 12. Even as someone who uses it a fair bit I think it has too many bad matchups to be that high. Wonder what happened
The points haven’t been applied yet, but I will be pleasantly amused if my 2 CP payout ends up mattering. Shoutout to Amarillo for convincing me to stick it out after almost ragequitting!
My very last win didn’t record. I wonder if it has to do with opponents disconnecting on you. Maybe someone else knows the answer to this.
yay top 50
not bad
Ironically, about 7 of my recorded wins were disconnects by my opponents, but my last one which wasn’t recorded was played all the way through with no disconnect.
Hopefully this didn’t affect someone else closer to the CP payout and gyp them out of points.
I won in Juniors! 😀
Good to see at least 3 mexican players, and a couple more Southamericans in the top 100, it give me hopes for next Worlds
Rank 9 in Juniors ;-; couldn’t finish matches
Even with the extra matches, I would probably not gain a position, as I made a few bad plays.
Perhaps I will run Voidcats next time <3
lol top 40 and I forgot to play my last 4 matches
Does anyone know who is an actual Junior in the Junior / Senior rankings? Trying to work out where my son has actually come for Juniors? He’s 29th overall.
I came 223rd in Masters so 1 CP to add to my tally
173RD PLACE HYPE!!
TEAM RIP REPRESENT BOIz
(I didnt even finish the challenge Im talking bout my number 1 homie Jabberwocky chillin at 8th lookin real fresh)
rank 104 at 1697 so close to 1700s… I always kept on getting matched up with 1500s
oh well thats 2 cp
Considering i thought I played like crap, I take away 1 CP.
Yay!
I’m pretty happy getting top 35 considering I used a mega heracross team #newmeta
lol, 24-6 and #159 or so in the ranking at 1681… my only 1700+ opp was alberto which I lost to and apart from that i mostly got paired with 1500-1600 players. kinda confirmed my suspicions that getting CP in those will be hard since the matchmaking system obviously has its flaws – who you play mattered a lot more than anything else, seeing how Massi with the same record of 24-6 had almost 100 points more.
ggs to everyone i played and congeats to everyone who is happy with their placing
