I woke up early morning with my cousin Najmi. We were both in the junior’s division. I played a few games against my cousin in the morning. My father drove me and friends to Bangsar shopping complex
Team E5 consisted of me, my bro, Kazu, Yee Wei, Adwin, Edmund and Sebastian. We had been playtesting the last couple of weeks and I decided to go with R-gon (my mew d POP5 did not arrive on time via post however).I looked at the metagame and didn’t seem to find any auto loss match ups.
Game1 R-Gon vs Some Swalot deck
I get bad start (Rayquaza). I stalled with a few lame stuff to build Gon ex. I managed to get a few candys and attacked all his low hp Pokemon and win. GG.
1-0
Game2 R-Gon vs Sally ex d/altaria ex
I donk his Swablu and won. GG.
2-0
After this was lunch break. I went to a food court but didn’t eat much. Instead I was talking to my cousin. I rushed down and started my3rd game.
Game3 R-Gon vs Wobby safeguard deck (Flygonite)
I get normal start and delta draw but drew blanks. He got a bad start as well. I setup a bit later than him and swifted his Wobby safeguard. He used a couple of brineys to delay. After that I snipe all the rest with Ray ex and won. GG.
3-0
Game 4 R-Gon vs Aggron/Hariyama ex (Eashwar)
I got bad start and lost. He T1 Aggron with energy and went thru all my basics.
3-1
Game5 R-Gon vs Eggchu (Carolyn H)
I got early Gon ex and won. Flygon ex d=auto-loss for eggs-chu especially if they castform delta draw. The only chance is to go aggro with early eggs. GG.
4-1
I made T4. I made it as second seed. My bro was first seed in Seniors (6-0). Team E5 FTW.
R-Gon vs Wobby safeguard/Blastoise d deck (Flygonite)
Semi final
I start with Ray ex and sniped everything.
1-0
I got same start with game1 and Ray snipes for the win (all his pokes have bodies)
2-0
Finals
R-Gon vs Aggron/Hariyama (Eashwar)
I realised he was the only one who beat me in swiss. If I could get a normal start my gon ex would run through his psychic weak hariyama's. Made sure he six-piled his deck. There were numerous occasions I saw other kids 'weave' their decks for the God-starts in swiss.I started normally and delta draw. He got a T1 Aggron again but with no energy. I was about to set up 2 flygon ex d and had > candies in hand. Facing an energy drought he used Holon Lass and ends up expanding his hand by 12 after the that!! A judge was called and he ended up with a game-loss. Bad beat man. Unpleasant way to win but the game state was irreversibly broken. I was going to mow him down with Gon ex swarm anyway.
1-0
I started normally and went for early Gon ex. He was shaken by his game-1 loss. I kill all his Hariyama ex because of weakness. I won. I'm going to Hawaii!!!!!
2-0
I am national champion (finally) after last years close call (2nd with LBS to Jynx-Fett). Finally my luck held after all the previous donkage. Everyone said Gratz to me. I shaked my opponents hand and said GG. I am going to Worlds and looking forward to meeting Geoff S, Ben S, Andrew K, Hiroki and others again.MORE time for sword play!!! I'll be trying to do better this year in Worlds after being 2nd seed (after swiss) last year and getting donked by donk-a-dos deck (31st seed)
