"Meet the world's best Pokemon player"

Even though the article is focused mainly on Ray Rizzo's back-to-back victories in the Video Game Championships, it's great to see Worlds get some mainstream coverage. Unlike many articles about Pokemon, this paints a very positive picture about the community and the players. Hopefully the game continues to get positive media coverage!

1. Worlds, an invitation-only event. What?

2. 400 players participated in Worlds. It was OVER 900 in the TCG section alone. XD

.....Coverage is nice. Facts are nicer. ^^;

1. Worlds, an invitation-only event. What? Is correct. The LCQ is not Worlds. The World Championships are Invite Only. There are just a buncha Invites that are handed out at the LCQ.

2. 400 players participated in Worlds. It was OVER 900 in the TCG section alone. XD Also correct, to within 50 people or so. Again, the LCQ isn't Worlds. It's the LCQ. I think there were about 100 players in each TCG age group, and about 150 total in the VGC, though I could be wrong on some of those counts...

.....Coverage is nice. Facts are nicer. ^^;

Only when they're the CORRECT facts ^_^

If they aren't correct, they aren't facts

Did you have to get badges to get invited or something cas I bet I could beat him.

he probably won by actually catching every pokemon. it's actually really hard
