2011 Season Overview:

So I started my 2011 pokemon season by not playing in any fall battle roads and city championships. I then played in two state champions and got a 1st and 5th. Then when regionals came around I ended up losing in top 8 resulting in another 5th place. After all these events I had an overall record of 21-6 and my premier rating was in the top 150. Regretably later on I realize I should have went to some city championships to boost my premier rating.

Then by the time nationals came around and I was completely more unprepared then I was in any tournament in my entire life! I also recieved some of the worst luck I ever experienced in my life! I went from being the ex national champion to losing to pokedads and pokemon professors with ending my main event with a 5-4 record. All my losses I noticed were conveniently when my opponent went first and either took board control turn two or JUDGE screwed me turn one leaving me with nothing.

So here I am sitting down typing a BLOG for the 2011 LCQ hoping I can get a worlds invite!
I’ll be updating this blog once a day, every nite, thurs-sunday. Enjoy!

Thursday:
5am: Im headed to the airport with Jon Bristow, Con Le, and Alex Frezza. See everyone in california! :pokeball:
 
I feel the same way... Back in the olden days, I went from defeating players from the Lafonte group to losing to old ladies that are 60 years old at the Pokemon tournament. Guess thats what happens when we don't play Pokemon all year, lol.

Now video games, thats a different story. You don't see any grown ups playinig video games, or even attending to go to a video game tournament where all you'll see are kids that compete from ages 10-28 on average.
 
Yeah hopefully this doesn't happen to me =X The LCQ will be my first tournament since 2010 States. But I've playtested over 100 games - it's just not the same as playing a real tournament. Well anyway good luck lol.

100 games is not enough. xD
 
Bristow is back or is he just on and off still?

And "untitled", no offense but no one cares about Seniors, so don't brag.

They seemed to care about seniors when the coin flip issue showed up...:p

Otherwise, you do realize that a senior was highest in the world in rating, correct? There are some good seniors, but I can see where your coming from, with 3/4 being pretty bad...

To the OP: good luck in the grinders!!

This sounds a bit like sour grapes...which is unfortunate, T1 Judge is a legit strategy. I have a ZPS deck that is just about Judge proof, is rather consistent, and has a T1 set up that is about par for the course. A HUGE part of the strategy is to drop a Judge ASAP because I know I can recover faster than my opponent 95% of the time.

I wasn't bragging. My post was a joke - notice the XD at the end. Personally I don't think any less than Top 4 Seniors at Nationals is respectable - a Top 16 finish is the virtual equivalent of a Top 64 finish in Masters - great players consider that easy, although I don't. I also don't think that some of the good Seniors are THAT much worse than a good amount of masters.
