Once again not quite good enough today - 8-5 and scraped into T128.
Pokémon has been fun recently though and looking forward to Gdansk in a few weeks!
One of the nicest people I've ever had the privilege to know. Would light up any room he was in.
Rest easy, Paul. You're sorely missed by all of us.
Finished 8-4 for 73rd.
Once again not quite good enough this weekend, but for the first time in a while feel like I have some concrete understanding of what to work at. Progress!
As I mentioned yesterday, LOVED getting to play Mega Gardevoir, as well as run back TFlame Chomp for the gajillionth time :)
Thanks, as always, to @Dimsunlight for being the best mentor, friend, and cheerleader (and for the team...); @sdg_ryo for prepping with me this week and company this weekend, and everyone I played or interacted with for being great. Love you all, see you in September 🫶
It was an absolute privilege to get to reg my favourite Pokémon for a tournament after all this time, and even better to make Day 2!
Not had an optimal start to Phase 2, but glad to be back amongst it and looking forward to coming back and scrapping for every game again in the morning.
Stream was fun, nice to get some redemption for a lot of losses I've taken on camera 😅
Tomorrow comes!
I normally stop short of openly criticising the running of the circuit, because I think running it when you have to work around development timescales that shift is hard, but this is SUCH a wholly unsatisfactory announcement I feel it warrants it. (1/3)

Example: I'm not going to Prague, but I plan on going to Utrecht. Should I prep for Reg I? It's on a date where the Asian circuits are moving to Champions. Will it be finalised by the time signups go up on RK9? What should I do in the meantime?
What a horrendous mess. (3/3 end)

The Golden Joystick Awards’ most-prestigious award of all - Ultimate Game of the Year - goes to the unforgettable Clair Obscur: Expedition 33. Huge congratulations to @SandfallGames and @Kepler_Interact! 🎉 #GoldenJoystickAwards
Finished 9-3 for 24th.
Exceeded my expectations enormously this weekend, but even so a little sad I couldn't take it further. Another near miss to add to the pile.
Looking forward to the rest of the season!
6-2 at Frankfurt. Always a privilege to travel to play high-level Pokémon, looking forward to day 2.

You shouldn't need me or Toler to tell you that you shouldn't flame your opponent in chat, but I think that this screencap feels like immediate justice is probably the easiest way to understand why this is such a salty format...
Top cut UK nationals with Sableye over a decade ago, that was fun!

Fairly sure this was the first successful usage of AV TTar as well - watching opponents' eyes widen as their Draco Meteor did <25% was hilarious 😂
