Results from the VGC ’15 Pennsylvania and Arizona Regional Championships
We may not know where Worlds is this season and we might not know what it’ll take to qualify, but one thing everyone knows is that to stand a shot at playing in the event they need to play as high as possible in the events they play in. The first Regional Championships kicked off this month and we’ve got the results for you below. Next week we’ll have the event in Houston, Texas before moving onto San Jose, California and Ft. Wayne, Indiana the weekend after.

Pretty satisfied with 15th at Arizona. My only two losses came from a crit and then more crits and ParaHax. Oh well, that’s why we play the game. Congrats to I Am A Rookie for the decorated win! Considering it’s only the second year AZ got a regional, it was pretty incredible to have Alex, Gavin, and Omari show up. Always great competitors and all-around great people. Who all is going to San Jose next weekend??

I have vods of a bunch of swiss rounds + almost all of top cut, will figure out where to post them but they will be online on NB/my channel in the next few days
Thanks everyone! Results are complete now.
So i went to Arizona Regionals and did TCG and VGC. It was my 3rd TCG Regionals but my 1st VGC regionals, went 5-3, played at table 1 in match 3 and lost to Kamz (dude is good) and placed 44th out of the 160ish Masters that were there. So I think i did pretty well for my first ever VGC tournament,
PA Regionals was my first Regionals and second event period. Compeition was fierce and I definitely learned a lot that day, so I’m content with the 145th/380(?) I placed, finishing with a positive record, 5-4. I’ve only practiced on Battlespot up to this point, so I guess it’s time to find some better ways to practice. Anybody going to the MA Premier Event next weekend?
LightCore was unforunately my very first opponent and I was an easy win for him. I was super jittery to start and he totally outplayed me. Thankfully he was super nice about it, thanks man!
