I said the video was noobish cuz it was,just make a video of yall talking and chillin and the event about how much fun yall had,not Gino just bragging how hes the greatest to ever play the game which is FAR from the truth,not doubting his skillz,but the video didnt do any justice for him.
Jaeger- Omg thank u! U gotta know the kid to understand the video. ppl sayin its noobish. Like noobish? What is that? :lol:
Im bragging about being the best player? No im definetly not doing that. I will say I am the national champion and im a decent player but im not tryin to rub it in anyones faces. Being the national champion you dont understand how much it means to me. I join 4 other national champions. Were literially a handful of champions. 04 champ who I dont know, seena, martin, fulop, myself. To make this win even more special when people would name the best players of this tcg of who they liked I wasnt even on their list. Ive been totally underated since I've played pokemon. Now that I won an event, even the biggest event in history I could be extremely cocky. Im not though. That youtube video you can feel however you want about it. Truth is it was a tribute to my experience but If I was just making a video for myself why would I post it online? Tributing to myself that I am the greatest person to ever play this tcg? Im not that self-centered. Anybodys just as good as anybody. Anybody can beat anyone any given day. In my oppinion out of SOTG my top 2 rules are sportmanship and fun.
The video was more of a reflection of my nationals trip and how awsome it was. It wasnt for the other 16,000 ppl that viewed it. If you were one of my friends you would have understood some of the qoutes I used. Like "he made teams consume their words." If you didnt know lafonte made wristplay shirts tryin to diss me and it backfired. I made them eat their wristplays ftl words. Or "his opponents were in endless frustration." If you look at the picture of my game vs. drew I had a T2 gardy on him and he was heated! The picture made it look like he was soo frustrated. "The crowd watched anxiously." All those ppl ahh well most of them were from New England, New york watching anxiously.
"The whole crowd was stunned."Look at that picture and look at the peoples facial reactions. They look pretty shocked to me. Even my friends were stunned! I've always knew I was a champ but when I actually was the champ I was shocked! Talking about it is one thing but doing it is on a whole another level. "In the end victory was won." During top 64 my friend got cheated and got a prize penalty and completly had the win. I told him and the judges "Im winning tommorow and im doing it for garcia." Thats where "
In the end victory was won" came in.
In more understandable terms: In the end the victory of becoming United States Champion was done! Do u understand? Victory was won! I dont know how to explain it any more.
Victory: suggests the decisive defeat of an opponent in a contest of any kind.
Won: A victory, especially in a competition.
*Thanks dictionary.com*
Victory was won
Victory as in defeating opponents who I had to beat to become national champion and
was won as in achieved the victory. Anyone ever heard the qoute Victory was Lost?
If you know me well enough you would know Im always trying to have a good time. When I say ima be national champ and worlds champ I know that its not easy but I dont want to go into nationals or worlds thinking im not going to win? Who wants to play in a tournament aiming to lose. Losing isnt fun but I know how to lose and have fun. :smile: You need confidence and to have a good time to truely enjoy the moments. You could tell me my matchup is a 20-80 matchup and i'd tell you its a 80-20 in my favor. If me saying ima be world champ irritates u then u should consider yourself too uptight. Loosen up a lil bit. Dont take it too personal. Come on now! "American-dream and Italian Stallion." The american dream has nothing to do with pokemon and the italian stallion was qouted from my idol slyvestor stallone! I absoletly love rocky. Why wouldnt I include that in the video to show to my buddies. That video was more of a tribute towards nats 08 and my experience. Take it how you wanna take it but your comments of disses or what ever, is just being ignored.
If u see me bragging over winning pikachu is just me and the fellas havin sum fun. If you really take offense to someone bragging over being the pokemon champ im srry. You wanna hate on my video I got a simple solution "Dont watch it." Not tryin to be mean but thats the only real solution. Those other people who dissed my youtube video are real bad hippocrites. How can you diss somebody on playing pokemon yet the only way for you to find the video is by looking up pokemon videos on youtube. As for where im from or where I live. What difference does that effect me on playin a card game I love to play. You dont see me playing any other tcgs and theres a pretty good reason for that. I do what I like.
I copied martin on wearing a bandana. Blah blah blah. Those bandanas were team undergrounds logo. All other pokemon teams had t-shirts, hats, etc. I thought team underground which me and my buddies just recently made before nationals I could switch up a little bit and do something different which no teams have done. Hence we all rocked bandanas. Normally if you say anything within a hater remark ima probably ignore it but as the national champ and not the arrogant kid everyone thinks I am I have decided to explain my actions to anybody who wants an answer. I appreciate the props on the thread and everything and I hope to see everybody at worlds and have a good time.
-Its Geo Baby!
