So I woke up at about half past six, watched a Pokémon Anime (Johto League - an episode with Murkrows stealing Ash's Badge from Morty) then I wrote my decklist, got my stuff ready and went to the bus. I was dressed in Proffesor polo shirt, Lab coat and baseball cap so I looked kinda weird but w/e. I came to bus station, took a long 1,5 hour drive to the venue (watched Friends so it wasnt that long) and arrived at about 9:30. I went to McDonald, where all of us usually gather before heading to the venue, checked some decks, helped some guys and then went to the venue.
When we got there, I traded some nice stuff (Deoxys Ex, Articuno Ex), sold some other stuff and counted my deck to be sure it was 60-card and the decklist was 100% accurate. I got registered and waqited till first round. I have to say that the tourney wasnt run really smooth as all deckchecks took like 20 minutes each, which was really annoying. I was playing Rock-Lock as I was expecting lots of Zappy and Draggy (which I TECHed some crystal shard against) So I go look who I am playing.
I also had an option to take 2 BYEs, which I won at Brno State Champ. but I decided not to, cause I was afraid being screwed due to resistence.
1st Round - Dark Draggy/ Dark Raticate
This guy was a beginner and was screwed with the ONE AGE GROUP thing. He was like 10 years old. All I saw from his deck was some Dk. Raticate swarm with no darkness energy. It got pwned by quick t-tar and then shard on his draggy for a win.
1:0
2nd Round - Crobat Ex/ Pidgeot
Really experienced opponent. He got Turn 2 Crobat Ex and Pidgeot, but I got Turn 2 Pidgeot and Dark Ampharos, ATM Rocked him next turn I played Admin and he conceded.
2:0
3rd Round - Dark Ampharos/ Dark Drgaonite
One of my frineds, who I met at Brno State champ. He is a cool guy and it was a rematch of our Brno final.
He was really careful about RCing, but that kinda cost him the match, cause I constantly ATM Rocked him from Turn 2 with T-tar and he couldnt recover.
3:0
4th Round - Draggy w/ Pidgeot
Really standart build. He actually did set up, but so did I. I started rocking him turn 2 so he was screwed with Dragonair, Pidgeotto, Dark Electrode who eventually all died at the same time thus giving me 3 prizes, then he conceded.
4:0
At this point I was guaranteed a spot in Top 8.
5th Round - Zapdos/Ray Ex
She got a Zappy, but super scoop up him for a dual balled Elecktrike. She took like 2-3 prizes, then I came back and OHKOed her Rayquaza with Dark T-tar. Then another OHKO on her Zapdos with Dark Ampharos and it was over.
5:0
So I'm the onlz one undefeated and waiting for Top 8. I got the matchup I worried the most, cause I have never plazed against it.
Top 8 against Weezing/Victreebel
1st Game
All he got was a lone koffing, which he then evolved to Weezing, but I slowly set up with Jirachi and KOed it for the game.
2nd Game
Really similar to the first one. First I KOed some Weezing and then he attacked me with a Bellsprout :eek: swarm, but I managed to withstand it a :biggrin: nd KO them all for the match.
Top 4 against Slaking/Pidgeot
Whats more to say. He had weakness against my T-Tars which really hurt him and I got set up quickly both games.
Top 2 against Zappy/Rayquaza
So we got into a situation where I played my 18+ opponent, who, if she won, couldnt take anyone with her, and because she dont even speak English we agreed, that we will go with the Swiss result, thus making me the winner, so I could take her as my Guardian, so we will both make it to Worlds.
So Yeah, Im going to Worlds !!!!!11!!!!eleventyone!!!!!111!!!
Props
Me for getting a trip, 500$ scholarship and some cool Zapdos/Moltres/ Articuno sleeves
The event for ending early.
Slops
Only ONE Age group!
LOOOONG Deckchecks.
Hot, hot weather with NO fresh air.
As for the last thing:
Sorry, Freddy, for what happened at London States, I hope we can forget that and meet as friends at Worlds.
