Finally taking some time to talk about Worlds! These days were among the best days of my life, had the opportunity to see people I met in London again, and meet other people for the first time (1/x)
Brazil🇧🇷 won again. 2x 🏆 invitational @Gymbreakers1.
Thank you friends for these games and thank you Netherlands for this final.

@Zarddy_ Stay strong, mate. You'll bounce back from this, as you've already shown you can do.
And I'm sorry to hear about your mother. I wish her a full and speedy recovery ❤️
After considering not going to #LAIC, and then forgetting to submit a team, I can say I'm quite proud of my performance.
I had a 5-1 run in the losers bracket, made it to the stream and ended one win away from making day 2, being knocket out by @Hideki7_. Until next time!
New leaderboard high for me! 🎉
Clinched a thrilling 5-0 with the team suggested by @LNDsxJoaoVictor. Congrats on reaching #1, mate!
Now whoever queues into me, enjoy some free points
JWNaldo is one of our best Brazilian battlers and deserves the opportunity to play at Worlds. Please consider contributing so he can make a new US visa application in time!
@Adelli0n Regarding the need of a visa, I think it is. I traveled to the UK without needing a visa, and to Japan with a visa but it was much more guaranteed to get (and nowadays we don't need it anymore)
This is heartbreaking, to say the least. An IC champion being left out of Worlds due to mere bureaucracy just isn't right. Play! Pokémon should do better in this regard, such as providing the invitation letters earlier (1/2)
Imagine spending the whole year traveling to competitions and not being able to go to the Worlds because the US consulate denied your visa claiming that you have no profile. It's very frustrating. (1/2)
And no, "open a ticket on P!P" isn't gonna work. In fact it hasn't worked for several Brazilian players. They either received automated messages or the request was denied by a real person. There's only a few cases where the letter was sent upon request (2/2)
Also, this is likely my last competition of the season. Worlds is most likely a 'no' this year, even though I had my USA visa accepted. The costs are prohibitive and there are some real life obligations I have to prioritize. Until next time! (2/2)
