>>59549371CHARIZARD LOSES BTW
>>59549371SHE WILL BE SEEN TODAY ON STAGE
>>59549371>all fairly standard or known teams>even in the younger divsionsgod damn this format is cooked.
>>59549371i forgot unite was going on. they might get raptured like Pokken did. Any word on Go?
>>59549386when has this not been the case at worlds?
Ko Tsukide had the hardest 0-3 schedule of all time. man worlds is hard
>>59549406usally the youger divisons bring some spice, or the masters sometimes like Kelsch 2023 or Yuta 2024.
>>59549410>losing two games to people who would end up in top cut and then having to play joeux9, a top 3 NA player and mutliple time regional champthat must fucking suck
>>59549386Yeah megas suck ass been saying this for a decade now but you know>but muh super saiyan>but they were fine in Smogon with bans
>>59549417the main issue is having a low power format with sneasler, basc, gambit and nukes like mega zardy and floette. whos idea was that? theres a huge power gap between those mons and the rest of the format. two of the top 4 teams were a direct counter team to big 6 comps.
What the fuck were they thinking with the music? They had one theme (which is just the standard battle theme, it's good but not appropriate for high stakes worlds battles) for every battle. Now they will presumably play this https://youtu.be/sKGmHYCw7SU in the finals, but they literally played it for every round of the Japan nationals!They need to make a new version of https://youtu.be/zrVw5rnwdrE (SOUL) just for world finals, and have a wide selection of music playing throughout the tournament like they had (somewhat) in SV.
>>59549425it will probs be the standard WCS they played at japan nats but boy it would be cool if they introduced a new theme just for this finals, doubt it though.
Zard Y or MDragonite?Who you got?
>>59549371someone played at worlds that didnt qualify. they went 0-5 drop.
>>59549438It's his tournament.
>>59549438I unfortunately have to root for Dragonite and Sneasler because the other team has Whimsicunt on it.
>>59549442so both players are getting banned? guy who let his friend take his place must feel silly
>>59549442what would they do if this guy cut or made finals? surely they just DQ him before that happened right?
>>59549425i really liked this onehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tO2-tVuCRlQ
>>59549442according to the replies, this happened in 2017 the judges were aware and denied entry
>>59549442>World champion got banned but a random person just walked in
>both teams have Mega FloetteOHNONONOPAYTO WIN LMAOOOOOOOO
>>59549464VGC has always been like this. how dare you have to play the game to get certain mons!
>>59549438ZardY, but only because Hiroshi made 2 incredibly bold plays in his last game yesterday that I think he deserves the win.
>>59549467he also haxxed the shit out of Antonio in top 8 (burn 1HP venu and crit last respects at -3, then flinch game 2) he even admitted to it
>>59549467The Froslass/Lycanroc team has so many advantages over Big 6, I genuinely can't believe he won that game.There was a misplay in his second match imo when he didn't encore the Gambit into protect and have Basc wave crash the Sneasler, but it was a very bold EQ+Heat Wave that won.
>>59549472>when he didn't encore the Gambit into protecprankster doesnt work on dark types
>>59549469I do think the Zard/Pex is a better team overall just because it can often control the pace of the game and grind down opponents better than Big 6's hyper offense.
>>59549476True, I am retarded.
>>59549410Ouch
.
>>59549371>2am finals for VGCwhy does TPC hate us?
>>59549484
Are you guys actually betting on the finals?
>>59549500? Is it on polymarket or anything
>>59549491TPC is west coastPokemon is Japan.those are priority locations
Any predictions on where next year’s worlds will be held? Surely they wouldn’t hold the event in California again
>>59549511japan, germany or vancouver. would be shocked if they go west coast again
>>59549511Japan because of the 30th anniversary
>>5954951170% east coast, 20% japan, 10% canada
>>59549511italy
>>59549526cant due to gambling laws i think. gambling laws and lack of venue/ city size elimiates hald of EU.
>>59549526They can't hold prize tournaments in Italy or Spain because of retarded bureaucracy
>>59549525So nyc, dc, Boston, or Orlando
>>59549528>Gambling... LE BAD!
>>59549371Hey anon, when you post youtube links get rid of the tracking. See:https://www.youtube.com/live/wZsfNzoOV7s
Imagine having 1000 different Pokemons but both final teams are almost the same. Oof. Nice balance faggots
pay to win
>>59549556/thread
>>59549556Sounds like great balance since some pokemon are better than others.
1000 different pokemon and she chose to hold the horse for no particular reason
>>59549577>Sounds like great balance since some pokemon are better than others
>>59549581>ugh why doesnt this hockey team have a 1 year old and a dog playing nice balance?
>>59549585no weedle? no kakuna? despite there being wan thauzan of these?
>>59549438I think its funny Dragonite is just diet Zard Y build and not the anti rain one but I want Dragonite to win
>>59549556>1000 different Pokemonstheres only 200 in Champions
Society would be a better place if picrel had 103 speed instead.
>>59549589Dragonite isn't the one being showcased with a new form, I wouldn't get my hopes up
>>59549587Yes it's balanced so Kakuka doesn't beat Arceus. Hope this helps.
Cringe song
kantooooooo
>>59549610they should've played the OG pokemon theme song
I hate seeing this fat goblina
>>59549580Ponyta is cute
>UniteCringePost a link when it's TCG and VGC timeNo one gives a fuck about Go and Unite
ETA for the finale?
>>59549633t.
>Pokemon unite Who cares?
When is he coming to Champions?
What happens after Worlds? Is there an offseason of some sort?Do smaller/regional tournaments resume immediately?
>>59549643goofy motherfucker
>>59549645nothing happens in the off season. in this case, the off season is 3 weeks cause baltimore is the first regional after this and thats on september 18th
>>59549651>3 weeks onlyHoly shit
>>59549655this years worlds was late. its usally early to mid august.
sasuga casters
>unite is dead in competitiveThey finally realized it.
>>59549371mega mawile bros...
when there will be teh VGC finals?
>>59549677brother the time is in the OP image
>>59549676just make her a normal evolution.. I beg... she doesn't deserve this...
>>59549676these are all good players as well, arsal won indy. mawile really that bad?
>>59549662Yeah I feel bad for the kids who are going to miss the first couple of days of school because of the tournament
Rosemary / Nekkra is a terrible commentator and I can't believe more people aren't talking about it. Not realizing how many mons a player has, not recognizing when a player has clinched the game, not knowing calcs, getting hyped at the wrong moments.
>>59549699Female commentators are hired because of their gender. Gabby sucked so much back when she was a caster
>>59549699my ears only hear the frequency cybertron speaks in
>>59549699shut up incel
>>59549532They did dc a few years ago so I bet new york or philly unless they want to do a repeat
>all that setup time>insta pause
>>59549699lee provost also was fucking up. dude thought -3 last respects could KO an incin while thinking incin could move first and KO with flare blitzAaron, Scott, Sierra, Gabby, Ben should stay. rest should go but i think rose is one of the main casters so she cant be let go.
>>59549712NYC cannot host worlds due to logistics. its to crammed and cant handle an inlfux of thousands of people coming in at once. hotels will be an issue if you arent paying 2k+ for one in manhatten or something.
>yfw someone brings out a palworld plushie
unite took an hour to to set up just to pause like 30 seconds in, no wonder this game is dying
>>59549721one team bribed the staff to freeze out the other
can't we just go straight to VGC instead?
>>59549716That’s disappointing considering nyc actually has good transportation and has a lot to see
>>59549718where is this?
>>59549726save the best for last. also to keep viewers watching
>>59549729Youtube
>>59549716>hotels will be an issuePokemon fans going to Worlds have unlimited credit spending, they can splurge on hotels all around Manhattan.
>>59549727you will sit through the great unite stallyou will sit through people tap tap tapping their phones you will sit through them playing cards for 3 hoursonly then will you have the privilege to see CHARIZARD win
>>59549729youtube on his homepagedunno what it's supposed to refer to but lol'd
>>59549721>game is being remade
>>59549740re-coding it from scratch... we could be here for years
>>59549737TCG should honestly be on a side stream Of all the games, it is the least viewer friendly and time consuming by far, even with these retarded Unite delays
>>59549734>Pokemon fans going to Worlds have unlimited credit spendingno they do not
>>59549676i kinda feel bad. prepping with a group for 2-3 months, putting in hours of time, then spendin money for flight + hotel, just for your entire group to go 1-3 drop.
>>59549744yea TCG takes 2-3 hours on average its insane. causals also have zero clue whats going on (most of the ppl watching) so to them its just random card flipping and trusting the casters words on whats going on
>>59549371according to the schedule, unite was supposed to be over by now and we have just started.
>>59549744>>59549753I'm a millennoid who stopped playing TCG since the Base Set-Fossil era and even I can somewhat understand the basic TCG gameplay.It's no different from Pokemon casuals watching VGC and only knowing the 6 Pokemon on each side.
>>59549699Which grill has the horrible accent and seems to have no idea what's going on?
>>59549755>It's no different from Pokemon casuals watching VGC and only knowing the 6 Pokemon on each side.causals play the video games, they battle in game and so they know the basics of whats going on (super effective moves, switches, a mon being knocked out, some items, megas) causals dont play TCG. they dont understand stuff like prize cards, switch counters, or energy needed to use your moves
>>59549676It's a solid team in theory since Mawile can be role compression of fairy coverage and Gambit, but in practice it means you're using Mawile.
>>59549764Playing the mainline games is not playing VGC
>>59549760Sierra? she has a canadian accent (im Canadian) she seems to know whats going on?
>>59549755the vast majority of pokemon fans have never tried playing the tcg, ever
sierra is my dei waifu
>>59549770Even the vast majority of tcg fans have not tried playing tcg
>duck of zest threwsugoi
>>59549771The agias gets the girl
>>59549768the mainline games have battling in them as a core function. most pokemon fans have played for 10 years plus of this. theu understand the basics of battling, unlike TCG
>>59549771touch grass, talk to some girls
the lamest nigga you know has this loaded up in the builder for MC
is it true that japanese players pool together and win trade so they can win worlds?
>>59549771last i know, she was in a 4 year relationship with joe ugarte but they removed eachothers handles in their twitter, and they dont mention eachother anymore so they may have broken up. not 100% sure.
>>59549791Good, that guy looks like a slob
>>59549780There's also the basic factor of big, easy to understand animations and health bars, etc. No doubt, VGC is more technical and complicated than a Scarlet singles in-game battle. But it's like watching the NBA vs professional poker. Even if you don't know all the technical details, there's a lot for a semi-casual viewer to pick up on and enjoy.
>>59549793joes a nice dude IRL.
Pokken would have been a better watch than this shitMaybe it's time for Pokemon to embrace Splatoon and have a meme, non-violent FPS that differentiate themselves from the cringe Palworld gang
>>59549771i like girls
>>59549771she put on a bit of weight. not a lot. she goes thru cycles of losing a gaining weight often, which means shes trying to keep it off. if she lets herself go she will become just another fat pokegirl
>>59549799I'm still baffled they're hosting pokemon go
>>59549771pump n dump
the good news is, unite is getting their own circuit next year, so they wont up space at ICs or worlds, and we wont be forced to watch. before this, they had their own system and werent a part of regionals, only ICs and Worlds.
>>59549771pump n wife
>>59549799im watching saltybet,there's a tournament on eyes emoji
playing a moba in 2026 is the most third world coded thing i can think of
unite was fun when NA gave a fuck. Now it's just japan wins lol
>>59549822yeah t. watching TI last week
>>59549822Real talk, can turd worlders even attend Worlds?US visa rules have never been stricter and more expensive. Then there's ICE in San Francisco ready to deport your ass if you look at them wrong.
>>59549826i stopped watching when rtz became irrelevant
Haven’t been able to watch, how has Champions done as a platform for Worlds?
>>59549831>Real talk, can turd worlders even attend Worlds?some LATAM VGC players had their visas denied.
>>59549769Maybe she's not a caster anymore, but it was an asian chick with a heavy east asian accent.
>>59549843Pokemon is retarded, Worlds should be in Japan/Korea/Yurop or even in the Middle East Should only go back to America after their own shitshow is over
>>59549844Zoe Lu is an asian caster with an Australian accent, but she's still active. she won OCIC back in 2017 or 2018. i dont remember any of the casters having asian accents.
>>59549847>or even in the Middle Eastcant tell if this is satire but this is a very bad idea.
>>59549847>the Middle Eastfuck off
>blows his flash to go even deeper into enemy territory at 5% hpdunning kruger moment or is unite just not competitive enough to have high skill gameplay
this nigga really just said worlds should be in the middle east
>>59549851>>59549855>>59549861>no gays>no Jews>no trannies>visa rules are relaxed since they're starved off tourists>only cons is that competitors will get drone striked randomly if they held it there this decade
did I miss Wolfe?
>>59549864More like he missed you if anything
>>59549832based. I didn't watch for a few years and coming back, the hype isn't there. miss rtz, the eg boys, EE, even that fag notail
>>59549863>no gays>no trannies>no women>5 people in attendance
>>59549861hes probably a soccer fan from latam or something. they are ok with hosting world cups in the middle east cause some prince paid a billion dollars
>>59549870The prize pool is a pittance too nowadays there's very little hype all around it, even if the narratives are fine it's kinda sad to see it.
Venusoy and Blastroon (maybe Blastsoyse would be better?) seething and malding because big Chadizard will prove once more who is the best starter
At what hours should we expect the trailer?
>>59549881Ishihara was in XP and has said that there are no new game announcements after the championships.
>>59549848Trust me, australians didn't sound like her unless you're making a chinese = australian joke.
>>59549876I was surprised how small it was, but I never cared that much. CS pools were never as big as dota or anything and its still like 2x that size. I just miss the fun stuff like parakim, EE's waifu training camp, or ppd bm'ing in all chat https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i8KLOYAcY_A
Unite looks so bad why aren't these people playing a real moba
>>59549716Is this bait?
>>59549884lies
>>59549892Because of poke autism
>>59549888If you keep up with the scene they werent bad and spirit wining 3x is cute yatoro and collapse making history etc but yeah that era is over, seeing sumail still be good and that fossil GH still make a deep run was kinda cute this year.
dotards LEAVE
Drop Unite and GoShill Pokken and online TCGHave Pokemon Sleep as the pissbreakTCGVGSYou're welcome

So how much did they win?1 million dollars atleast?
your daily reminder to shill for luck meters instead of rng trash
>>59549951lol lmao
Goddamn 4PM EST is so late I might be unable to catch the finals
>>595499511 million yen
>TCG finals are two balding 40 year oldsKWAB
>>59549958later then that. unite started an hour late due to technical difficulties, TCG takes 3 hours. + Go and awards for all of those
Bring back the Audino
>>59549974this
>>59549905I’ll still never understand why tcpi hated pokken so much
>>59549951like 5 bands man, biggest franchise in the WORLD btw.
>>59549966diego is 43 years old with two children. hes been playing for over 20 years. heres a photo of him at 2005 worlds. hes worn the same hat for 20 years btw
>>59549981Bamco already lost money on TTT2 on WiiU, lost more on Pokken. They just didn't want to come back.
>>59549951>billions of dollars in revenue>only $50,000 first place prizePeak Jewish
>>59550012Surely the vgc and tcg winners get more?
the new host is ugly as fuck. bring back Anna!
>>59550016VGC is $30,000TCG is $50,000
>>59550012TCG 1st gets 50k. VGC 1st gets 30k
>>59549966Nah Andrew Hedrick is pretty young. Diego is a middle aged millennial with a wife and cute kids
>>59550023>>59550025Biggest media franchise in the world btw
>>59550016It barely covers the cost of travel, missed work, and lodging during a season.
>>59549966one day, you will be 40 years old (or dead)
>>59550032so you better enjoy your life while you're still living
>>59550030It's hilarious isnt it, japs man wcyd.
>congratulations, congratulation, well done team japan we love unite>however>this is the end of unite
>7 fucking people squeezed on panelThis is a joke
>>59550023cardboard does cost a lot so the prize being bigger than a free game with genned mons makes sense
back to pocket you go, clown!
>>59550051How much would meta cards cost without extra bling?
>>59550051TCG decks are like $20-$60 at most, they're far separate from the shitty overpriced collectors/scalpers sideCollectors/Scalpers don't value playing cards so they only cost cents to a dollar
>>59549972yeah...>>59550023Floette costs like 700$ so...
>>59550061wat
>>59550061>Floette costs like 700$ sohow. its 60 + whatever home costs. not that much
>>59550060But I need the shiny cardboard!
at least worlds is shorter with less slop. remove go next
>>59550069Dawn, Hildas and the gold trainers are like $20-$30 each and those are scalper prices already
Unite looks fun, gonna give it a try.
>>59550065>>59550066I think he means buying a switch + legends ZAYou can get a switch for much cheaper than switch 2
Esports peaked in 2010 with grassroots fgc and televized starcraft and its been downhill since then
>>59550077Ok we get it you were born between 98 and 04, no one wants your opinion.
yuya who got top 8 was 36 years old and brought his daughter to worlds. this was also his first worlds. its never to late to get into VGC!
>>59550080Is that a popular opinion among zoomers? good for them
>>59550080>born 04>2010 esports>reminiscing about events that happened when he was 6 years old
>>59550073I had fun with it when it came out, got to master or w/e the highest rank isbut ultimately it's still a team moba with all that entails
>>59550074oh its the blisy version of cost, gotcha. thought he meant the floette card
>mega mewtwo x raid when your already behind schedule
>>59550077>fgcno, also it peaked in 2014-17 or 18
>>59550086How much can you bm in it
>>59550082No fucking way he has a daughter, he's literally a doujin ugly bastard
>>59550094>western pro teams>tournaments run by the publisherpure faggotry
pokemon go is so fucking annoying to playI'm just trying to take a walk and 50 different systems want my attentionit's based for allowing me to trade shitmons from it for a competitive champions team tho
i was born in 2006.
>>59549993In a weird way, he looks identical to now
>>59550077>he wasn't there for TI5-8
>>59550096his wife is ugly too
>>59550096thats not very nice anon.
>>59550095its been years but there's always way to BM. you can't chat or anything but you can recall spam in peole's faces or I think you can keep re-dunking
>>59550098you need israel and palantir to know how many times and how long you shit to play Go
>>59550105TI5 yes I was, think i stopped after that one or 6
The prize money is low because foreigners can't lug around anything above $10,000 on their person or they risk getting jailed regardless of the host country.It's also a rich people game since only rich people can skip jobs/have no jobs to go to tournaments around the world, they don't need the shekels to win.
>>59550096yet he has a kid and a wife, and you dont...
>>59550097the fgctard will never understand what real prestige and saving strats can do
the fuck do you even do in GO why is no one walking
>>59550082That's insanely inspirational. I wonder if his daughter now wants to play vgc
>>59550110I see
>Finally watched Weedman vs. Takuma from yesterday>Game 3, Froslass Lycanroc against Floette Kingambit>Weedman protects Lycanroc instead of CCing into Kingambit, attacks with Froslass and gets suckered, game's basically lost there because he has no way to beat Garchomp after thatDid the Weedman smoke too much? What did he mean by this?
>>59550113yeah it makes me wonder. I'm not even close to 36 however
>>59550114>anime posteryour opinion is literally worthless
>>59550115You run faster with Aegislash in blade forme
>>59550112>It's also a rich people game since only rich people can skip jobs/have no jobs to go to tournaments around the world, they don't need the shekels to win.this is false, anyone with an average job can book a cheap plane ticket + room with freinds to go to events. most of VGCs player base is college students
>>59550125but I can only run as fast as my legs can move
>>59550119he needs to preserve the sash on dog
>>59550126yeah they have the most amount of free time
You guys realize any top singles showdown ladderer could win this thing if they wanted to right?
>>59550135t. joey
>>59550123anime is why SWNL
>>59550135Anon Pokemon GO is up next
>>59550135My cat could win it by spamming rock slide
>>59550135How did Freezai do?MDB?
>>59550140Pokemon GO to Showdown and grind randbats
>>59550135
I thought unite was eosing tbqhwy
>>59550147one day he'll overcome his autism and succeed
>>59550112can they not simply do online money transfers instead of giving each contestant a briefcase with solid gold bars
>>59550135freezai went 2-5 drop so no.
>>59550147So many of these recent online tournament winners blew their loads too early.Alex Underhill revealed the Zard/Rain Team and Michael Beste used that Gengar team to win a tournament.
>>59550151it got cut for next year, not this year
>>59550119overthinking happens a lot for pros because there's so much guessing froslass knows kingambit loves to sucker punch froslass so she could just set aurora veil, but the kingambit knows the froslass knows this so he could just kowtow instead, but the froslass knows the kingambit knows this and so on etc.but from the viewer's perspective the 5-layer deep overthinking play looks exactly the same as the great ball 3 retard play
>>59550138Secret (puppey) lost again however
>>59550112only a problem for latin america and non-japan asiajaps, aussies and yuros have their own regionplane tickets are cheap as hell in america and airbnb makes accommodations cheapermeanwhile latinxirs have to fly all over the continentsame thing with chinks, gooks, seanogs flying to different countries because they don't have a specific region
>>59550160I wonder what'll replace it
>>59550158MDB did pretty much what Justin Tang did. Make videos explaining the team, everything about it, what it was weak to then brought it. Sometimes it's best just to use something you're comfortable with even if it's well known. Worked for Giovanni last year.
bros... why doesn't VGC get this awesome production?

>>59550183the views did drop after he got eliminated
>>59549556Its even worse Champions has less mons than fucking Pokemon Battle Revolution KEK
>>59550192That's okay, the VGC finals will still be the highest viewership, trailed a bit by the TCG.I admit to having no knowledge of the card game so I can't follow what's going on.
>>59550199How many fully evolved mons were in battle revolution?How many are restricted legendaries or even sub-legendaries?Narrow the roster down so it's apples to apples. You can compare like terms, you attended 2nd grade.
>>59549799Competetive Pokemon in general is a joke, from all phases
>>59550203is Chinchou still banned?
What drives someone to play competitive Go
>>59549884I could care less about new game announcements, Champions needs a new trailer showing they actually care about the game
>>59550215I thought it was an app to make to you go on walks that turned out to be datamining
>>59550023PFFFFFFTAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAAAAAAA, thats fucking pathetic
>>59550219It was always transparent datamining.An app that makes you use your camera and tracks your location was always surveillance.
>>59550219Pokemon is a glowie front since the 2000s
>>59550213There's banned pokemons in Go? Chinchou of all things?What the hell is this game.
>>59550023To be honest, VGC probably loses money
>>59550227Sometimes? I don't know if the list changes often or whyhttps://x.com/PengyTwitch/status/2040907804622377024/
What the fuck am I looking at
>>59550230they do lose money yea
>Jap vs Jap finalsBoringJust call Ray GOAT Rizzo and Wolfe Glick
>>59550230It's a loss leader, definitely. They really should have tournament battle passes to allow something like watching in game and raise the prize pool, but that's just too forward thinking for TPC.
>>59550023.........lmfao that's sad
any guesses on where the next worlds will be hosted?
>>59550236Wolfe is washed. He hasn't made a worlds top 8 since 2016
>>59550236>Jew vs Jewhows that better?
>>59550242The video he'll make about Worlds will make more money than the winner will get
>>59550043Would be hilarious, Japs are the only people on the planet that gives a shit about Pokemon Unite
>>59550230The way to make money is to sell cosmetics. As far as I'm concerned VGC is a necessary component of the video game package and the jap suits attempts to kill it by containing it in a separate app will only hurt the franchise.
>no more turn based Pokemon games>its basically a real time gook click game now with cooldownsSejun Redemption Arc
>>59550232players at the height of their skill battling on the big stage for the championship trophy taptaptaptaptaptaptaptaptaptaptap get KO'd get KO'd get KO'd taptaptaptap
>>59550240Supposedly it's been leaked to people in the know, but Pokeaim wasn't telling anyone
>>59550240Saudi Arabia
HIPPOWDON THE GOAT!!!!!!!!!
>>59550240chicago
>>59550247He won a Go tournament last year lmfao
>>59550255That's NAIC
Pokemon Worlds 2027 Bali
>>59550248They're just tapping their screens and it makes bling bling bling noises?????
>>59550023SON
new>>59550261>>59550261>>59550261
>>59550260they tap a bunch to fill a super attack meterthen when they press the attack they have to catch the little balls that pop up on screenthe opponent can use protect twice per match to negate the movepicrel is when they tap their phone screen
>>59550258ngl I just put the first city to pop into my head. cool that got something right at least
>>59550247I have no clue what they can do outside of turn based, Game Freak are so incompetent as Game Devs with Pokemon or anything else (Little Town Hero, Beast of Reincarnation, etc.)
>>59550270you can just keep your finger in one spot for about half the types, but I assume the production asks them to spice it up for the cameras
how the fuck is "match under review" <- muted the stream btw
>>59549383Dang, whos this? Shes THICK
>>59549371Dude finally! How many times did they have to replay the match?!
>>59550137Joey is very humble stop slandering him you faggot
>>59550242There is so much RNG and matchup luck involved that I don't consider any single tournament the apex of skill. Like the semifinalist brasilian guy and the Japanese finalists don't have a single achievement under their belt, meaning that you might as well pick the winner among top 64 or some shit. What matters is consistency across various tournaments
