CUT to Top 4

I'm the only player from AZ in the top 4 and after a great 3 Matches Jerry from Team LA defeated me. His Gardy deck was too much for me to handle. So my hat is off to you gentlemen you came here and defeated us on our own turf. Thank you for a great match, but I do very much expect a rematch. Maybe I should make the trip to LA.

1st round defeat best of 3
1st win me
2nd win Jerry
3rd win Jerry

Now that the Battle in the desert has been completed I too would like to Thank Team LA for making the road trip and bringing in a HUGE addition to the 15+ age group.
Overall I think there were some awesome matches waged by both sides. Early rounds had Team LA taking on each other and knocking each other out. Then in the later rounds the same thing happen to Arizona Heat, matched up against each other due to 4 being undefeated they began to pick off each other leaving Blizzard with the only unblemished record but he alone couldn't withstand the triple team that Team LA threw at him.
Jesse, Paul, John, Raul, Armando and to everyone else whom I've left off, come back anytime. You'll always be welcomed in the Desert, Great players make for Great matches. I hope you all enjoyed yourselves and that we were able to host the type of tourney you would come back for...
 
Well i just got in from dinner with TEAM LA. (they should be sound asleep by now except for the twins i think they are going to pull an all nighter) :)

What a day! GREAT TOURNEY!! , great players with great decks!

15+ Matthew (Team LA) took home the trophy with a blaziken firestarter/claw fossil/rayquaza ex.
11-14 Anthony (Arizona) took home the trophy with a SwampertEx/ludicolo/crawdaunt
10 and under Joey (Arizona) took home the trophy with a Sceptile EX/Sceptile/delcatty/Wobbufet deck.
CONGRATULATIONS TO EVERYONE WHO PLAYED!

As you have read already TEAM LA had a great showing here in Arizona for the 15+ group. A really good group of guys too (Jerry, Jesse,Matthew,John,Paul A.,Armando,Joel, and Paul J ) come on down anytime, you are all welcome!

Thanks to Ray (owner GamersEdge), Head Judge Lugias_Realm (John) and Judge Marcus for keeping everything running smooth today.
We shall see you in LA/So.Cal .....very soon with our Arizona Posse!

warbuzz.....you save me that pichu! :):)

LOL.... Guess I saw that coming. Team LA is on a roll right now. I guess Utah should be glad that the team is on the ropes on wheather to go to Salt Lake or not (way too far for some of us).

Well... I wasn't there (way to far for me) but I'm glad Team LA won another one. Woot! Go Team LA!

We'll be glad to have you guys over here on our turf for the LA Gym Challenge.

I will not deny that Paublo helped me we talk all the time and he is my friend, but honestly who doesn't have a blazi variant right now? I'm sorry you feel my skills are so low that it was all the decks doing hence the edit of your original post. If you would like to test my skills I am open to a match anytime.

StateChampions in AZ

Even tough team LA traveled so far to back up some trash talk and succeeded in winning, the over all trip was fun. The tourney started with team LA facing each other we kept KOing each other, round after round someone from team LA was facing one an other. This made it more difficult for any of us to really get up there, but when our star players Matt Y.and Jerry D. (and Paul A. who missed top four by 2%) worked they way to top four, our team was relieved to know that 3 of our people:Matt, Jerry, and joel were in top four fighting for LA and had the best chances of winning. Then after what felt like forever Matt Y. came out to be AZ State Champion and our journey was finaly complete and we could all go home with the trophy and pride that team LA has always never gave up on. I would like to thank Arizonia Heat for having us and accepting our welcome.
 
Greetings Blizz, Lugias Realm, Spookees, Victor and the rest of AZ HEAT...Thanks again for having us at your STATES...Awesome Tourney!!! THANKS AGAIN :)

Until then...Farewell

"eating of crow"???

I dont get it. I only got to eat a very limited amount of Arizona grown Rayquazza Nuggets and some Burnt Chicken. Needless to say, my deck was left hungry for more. :)

I was hoping meet you Mudkip, I wanted to test my skills against the best of Mexico. I didn't get to play Wes either. I only got to play my own friends. Maybe next time we'll get better pairings.

Thanks Blizz for being a good sport. I hope you enjoy the booster box i gave you.

-Jerry D.
 
yeah I forgot to mention that sorry Jerry that was very gracious of you.(least you could do after destroying me like that:))

haha u serious? hmmmm, I've got relatives in California, San Diego to be exact, maybe we can talk through AIM/MSN about this?

That was some good stuff. I haden't had that much fun in some time. I think it would have been better if there was a top 8 insted of 4, but it was ok. I was especially suprised by all the AZ players who were fun and skilled players to meet. And that Blizzard was such a good sport even after we made him eat his words. People like these are what make the game grate.

-Mr. LA
-Paul A.
 
Wow! What a day. It's been a while since I had a good fight like that. The Arizona players were pretty good. I hope to see some of you in soon for a rematch. Perhaps in a gym or stadium challege. See you there!
