Questionable Sydney VGC Player and Ethical Local VGC Judge.

[Gilbo @GilboVGC]

Just got back and thought I would post the classic picture with the cards, team, and medal! I am really happy to have gone undefeated (11-0) the entire tournament, and to be a two-time Sydney regional Champion!!

[Ole Kai @imlordkai]

Pokémon Melbourne Regionals recap.

My goal was to have a positive record, but 80% of the tournaments I play in, I seem to break even. This time I went 4-4

3 of my losses were to my mates who come to the locals that I host in Sydney and I've never had so much fun just being able to battle them.

I ended up getting my first ever prizing from Pokemon which was 18 booster packs and 80CP!

But... If it's not being a master in competitive battling, it's being a master in side events. All the prizing you see here came from side events, had so much fun battling people in those events and in the last event I entered I managed to win a surging sparks and a brilliant stars booster box!

I prepped a bit with my team which was collaboratively built by my good mates @Bray_VGC and @GilboVGC without them it wouldn't of been possible to win all this prizing.

Their dedication to help me do well is one of the best feelings to feel! I'm super grateful and hope to do better in future tournaments. I was happy to take @Bray_VGC Torkoal that I met few years ago who defeated me in Sydney to this tournament with me and get me some wins!

It was also super nice to hang with other, unfortunately I didn't get much photos, cause I was locked in grinding the events, but maybe I'll do a recap video !

I love this game and who I've met through it

Who decided alphabetical order was a good idea for a tiebreaker?

I just wanna talk.
