Nice plays.

 

[PBalfredo]

Garchomp doesn't choke on 1v1 for once today!

If it was an Azumarill instead.....

j/k

 

[backlot]

Sejun is going to the finals. Go, Pachirisu!

 

[Neo Child]

lol meant to be a new thread wtf am i doing

 

[Renta]

lol meant to be a new thread wtf am i doing

Seen a thread on that already anyway lol

 

[PreyingShark]

Wow, Collin choked big time.

Oh ffs Collin

:/

dissappointed

He did that on purpose. Like, if you're going to make top cut anyways then why reveal information to somebody you may face later? It's better to just throw the match to hide as much information as possible.

 

[Sayad]

Is it over? Is this "will return soon" screen a lie?!

 

[PreyingShark]

Is it over? Is this "will return soon" screen a lie?!

They're just switching to the TCG.

 

[Sayad]

Oh crap, then I missed a game. >_<

 

[theprodigy]

heh views plummet for TCG

I wonder what teams the finalists in each division are using?

 

[udivision]

Seems like they're gonna announce the iPad version after this round.
EDIT: Or a free booster pack, oops.

 

[twothunder]

They are giving away online booster packs.

 

[TrickRoom]

yeah I probably won't be watching considering I can't see the game board very well. :\

 

[AcademicSaucer]

Im glad to see so many kids in this event

 

[HawthorneKitty]

Just caught up; totally hope Se Jun knocks it out of the park tomorrow.

 

[theprodigy]

wait how are there ties in TCG, looking at the standings

 

[HawthorneKitty]

Ties are determined by timed matches? Under standings is W/L/T; 3 points for wins, 0 for loss, 1 for tie

 

[PreyingShark]

Average number of wins per country in VGC Swiss if I did my math right. I also ignored the dropped entrant. In parentheses is the number of entrants per a country:

Korea (2) - 4
Japan (7) - 3.71
Spain (2) - 3.5
Germany (10) - 3.2
UK (7) - 3
Canada (1) - 3
US (22) - 2.82
Australia (3) - 2.67
Italy (3) - 2.67
Ireland (1) - 2
South Africa (1) - 2

Nothing too surprising, though.

 

[PBalfredo]

Any videos or replays of the Pachirisu match? I missed it earlier today.

There was no 1-rep country that just bombed? I consider that fairly surprising actually!

 

[PreyingShark]

Oh, completely bombing this tournament was apparently hard to do if you weren't a top-tier player. None of the single reps seemed to be skilled enough to accomplish a task as difficult as bombing Worlds.

....by bombed I mean they just went 0-6 and crashed out

Oh, that? Ireland got a bye round 4 and won against a 1-4 round 6.

South Africa beat a fellow 0-2 in round 3 and then beat a 1-4 in round 6.

Canada's Randy Kwa is too consistent to bomb.

The two 0-5's going into round 6 placed 2nd and 3rd at US Nationals. If it wasn't for the dropped player then they would have faced each other. Instead, due to the dropped player, 2nd at US Nationals got a bye and the other beat a 1-4 to finally get a win. Rounding off the 1-5's were two previous Worlds winners, the Apex 2013 Pokemon champ, and some Italian guy.

This tournament was... weird.

Wow, the commentary is excellent

Holy shit.

at first I was like "meh" but then I saw he also had Talonflame
good guy

Haha. Se Jun Park's Pachirisu even getting fanart now:

 

[HawthorneKitty]

Countdown!
Get hype!

 

[Kouriozan]

Not missing this one!

 

[Renta]

VGCs doesnt start until 3pm, I believe. TCG is first.

 

[Not75Drops]

I'll miss the first part of this but seeing as it's just TCG for the first 6 hours it's not a big deal.

 

[Kouriozan]

VGCs doesnt start until 3pm, I believe. TCG is first.

I started playing TCG again so I'm interested.

 

[HawthorneKitty]

I like watching the TCG for some reason; I guess I love Pokemon in any form.

 

[HawthorneKitty]

Wow, zero Americans in Masters top cut.

Mia sure has changed throughout Worlds.

 

[nicoga3000]

Kind of feel like starting to buy packs so I can the PC version of the TCG again...Oh man...

 

[NEO0MJ]

How in the world did Pachirisu do so well? I would have thought that a pokemon like that wouldn't even survive a single earthquake from Garchomp.

 

[Not75Drops]

Probably a defensive EV spread combined with Gyarados' Intimidate.

How is that possible? Is it because they are lvl 50?

 

[JoeM86]

Lots of bulk, Intimidate weakening the opponent. It's very possible

 

[twothunder]

And they are back. Final match for Master TCG.

 

[Not75Drops]

Masters TCG finals already? Are they running ahead of time or are these matches just long?

 

[twothunder]

Nice start.for Andrew. Could not get much worse for him.

 

[TrickRoom]

Lol, finals battle with no energy.

This is my first time watching the TCG. Can someone explain to me why everyone's so lax about peeking at the players' hands?

 

[twothunder]

Andrew with the crazy comeback

 

[KiraFA37]

http://www.twitch.tv/pokemon/b/558699599?t=6h31m40s

Wow... I underestimated Pachirisu. Maybe because I don't play competitively.

 

[twothunder]

Igor makes it 1.1
Final game begins

 

[Mr. RHC]

There is a Pokémon World Championship? =O

 

[JoeM86]

Masters TCG finals already? Are they running ahead of time or are these matches just long?

Running ahead. The Juniors final for TCG was only like 10 minutes, and Seniors was almost as fast.

VGC isn't scheduled for an hour and a half, but I don't know if it'll run early.
