@DarkTypeDarsh Full time employment. I'm a shift worker so only get 3/8 weekends available to me, so getting to locals and majors without burning my holidays into the ground is a struggle! Love the game and the friends I've made doing this but I can't give it the time I want to anymore

[Adam @Valquesse]

No idea why I've played more of the GC in the season I'm not chasing worlds than in any of the ones where it's mattered but here we are. Not sure where to call it but feeling fairly safe on about a 12-3 record

Best of luck and safe travels to all my friends making the trip to Utrecht for regionals, go smash it!

Well, nearly home now but that's my last event of this season wrapped up with an eventful 1-3 xd. Had a hell of a laugh playing with a team I cooked up myself for a change however I couldn't actualise the ladder success I've been having with it.
Will do a longer post later.

@CertainLightVGC 5 ops made day 2's too!? Your resistance must be sky high!

Project update: the first stage has arrived.
Now then hard work begins

[Adam @Valquesse]

@JamieBoytVGC Man, I remember the hype and the whispers around the room of "some mad man has brought charizard x, and serperior!?". That mad man continued to innovate for years to come, grats on the anniversary!

Exciting times ahead! I've pulled the trigger on a project I've been debating for a little while. Keep an eye out for things to come, but next VGC season just got a whole lot more exciting!

[Adam @Valquesse]

@JB_Caster Congrats man, awesome news!

[Adam @Valquesse]

@TesloboVGC @AndyBakesYT Now I want to take this concept as far as possible, and create a name so detached but it still fits the meaning. And right now this comp is Elton John.
A) fabulous outfits
B) Saturday *nights* alright for *fighting*
