As for what Iโm doing next, Iโve been studying coding and learning Unreal Engine to maybe make some games of my own, and would love to hear from any mutuals who have advice!
Not sure why I waited so long to make this post, probably a mixture of not wanting to make it public and admitting to myself that I'm done, but I will not be competing nor streaming for the foreseeable future. I have a great community, shout out to the Guac bowl, and was...
Fortunate to play with some of the best players in the scene past, present, and Iโm sure future. I wish all the best for the Unite scene and will be around in some streams saying hi. Good luck NA at LAIC this weekend!
This kind of stuff going on behind the scenes is such a headache to deal with. It's exhausting and has nothing to do with playing the game. Hopefully people have learned something. Probably not though.
Just some thoughts on NA I'd like to get out with all 4 NA teams getting out.
It's no surprise that our region looked the worst it has ever. We certainly lost a lot of talent due to various reasons but the biggest thing (imo) is the lack of cooperation within the region
Most of the NA teams just refuse to practice against eachother due to interpersonal relationship issues and would stoop as low as leveraging relationships with out of region teams to gain an edge by sharing practice vods/drafts.
I have no intention to call out any individuals, no one is perfect but if North America wants to be back on top it's time to set the ego aside and go back to grinding the game.
PLEASE LIKE/RETWEET TO RAISE AWARENESS SO @UniteEsports and @Pokemon will actually help
NAIC 2024 Top 8 Unite prizing has had a major misallocation/miscommunication issue.
All of the prizing that was 100% intended for the actual Regional Finals top 8 which had multiple qualifier stages was accidentally awarded to the open bracket Final Stretch top 8.
This includes trophies, promo prize cards, and top 8 playmats which are probably the main reasons most of us compete in this game for.
This post is not meant to discredit what the final stretch players accomplished, I personally think both tournaments should have top 4 prizing. This post is just to callout Pokรฉmon and the admins since they know itโs incorrect that the 1 set of prizes went to the wrongly designated tourney yet they are unable to give guarantee that the Regional top placers will receive any of their deserved prizing.
Surprise announcement!
Iโm playing today in the Regional Qualifiers as a last minute sub for LG Unite alongside Lutano, Overlord, Joey, and JL ^-^
Time to not grief and get these boys their top 16
Also Unite really has to fix the login bugs man I spent half the time in between games trying to get into the game rather than prepping for the next one.
