Pokémon TCG: Sword and Shield—Brilliant Stars

World's Wrap Up Today.

Cool....Steven wins worlds...and I am now X-0 against 2 World champions in premier events. I was the man to slay him at Nationals in the top 32. I must say though...I loved the deck. It was Beedrill with 4 poke turns and a luxray GL line. I think there was a metagame shift and people played a lot of flygon. Because of this...he got cake matchups. Good deck choice in the long run.

Read his report. He didn't get those "cake" match-ups you speak of until t-4. His finals matches were brutally difficult( t-32, t-16 and t-8) and earned those 2 good match-ups in t-4 and t-2 by palying flawlessly all day.


BTW "scrub", how did you finish at worlds???
 
You have to have some good matchups to win- period. You have to get lucky to win- period. Get over it guys. Steve is your new world champion. GO STEVE!
 
Aaaaaah so close Fabien...
Anyways, awesome job, you represented the team and the country more than well!
Gyarados is an epic deck.
 
To those calling Steven's deck Speedrill, please don't. It was Beedrill mixed with various techs that made it work very differently than Speedrill decks, which is why it did so well in Masters.

Maybe I didn't make myself clear...I said I loved the deck....and said it was a great deck choice. his last 2 matches were in fact "cake" matches....but I do not mean to downplay his achievement in any way. So...to set the record straight... GOOD JOB ON WINNING WORLDS STEPHEN! and as for the final comment about how I finished at worlds....that was uncalled for. I didn't go to worlds. That's not to say i'm not good enough...because I obviously am. I just had other things in my life to worry about that were much more important than pokemon. Edited for content. See post below. Thanks for understanding. P_A.

Just so you don't wonder why I edited your post procircuitscrub, I'm going to make this very very clear. Everyone here can see your sig. It announces that you are a decent player. However like I said in my earlier pm to you .... you were the person who chose to call yourself procircuitscrub here on the gym. People just automatically tend to shorten long names - just out of making it easier for themselves. No offense is meant, it just happens. I know from personal experience, since people used to call me "alley" when I used the user name "Procrastination_alley". Don't get upset when people shorten your name to "scrub". They don't mean anything by it. In this case John wasn't calling you A scrub, but just "scrub". Perhaps if it offends you, you should consider changing your user name. Let's not have any more of this on the gym. No one wants to be in a flame war.
 
This had nothing to do with that. I don't care about the scrub comment. I care that both him and his son decided to call out the fact that I didn't make worlds this year as if to say I wasn't good enough or whatever. So if I was wrong about the intent of the comment, I apologize. But I highly doubt they were interested in how I did at worlds and merely wanted to point out that I didn't make it. I mean...if the guy who beat me in top 32 of nationals 2-0 was there...I think I would have noticed him. He knew I wasn't there. So please don't alienate me on this and make me seem like the bad guy. I was simply upset at how childish the comment was. I am shocked that something like that would be allowed on these forums. Thanks.
