Ya so we left St. Louis in 2 cars on Friday. In these 2 cars were ME, Scizorkid, Meganium45, littleduckdrew in the other car was NEWMAN, Furiouszangoose, and Sceptile+Muk=whatever. It is raining Blastoises so we are a little more careful on the road. We stop at like Cracker Barrel and get food and we get to Memphis..and once again get lost. So we are driving around for an hour making a couple of wrong turns and we FINALLY get to the hotel at about midnight.
We then get to our rooms and we test for 2 hours. Then I stay up for an extra 2 hours with Scizorkid and test some more. Newman and I were both clueless on what to play and we were debating for 2 hours on what to play. So he eventually decides on Slaking/Aerodactyl Ex and I decide on Salamence/Omastar/Aerodactyl Ex.
So I go to sleep at 4 and wake up at 7. Then shower and get all good looking. So then we all go eat breakfast and pack up the car and such and drive to Triple Play.
We get there at about 9:30 or so. And we set up and stuff, and I say hey to a million friends from Memphis. Newman plays v.s. Anthony's(sceptile+muk) and 3 of his Slakings are in his prizes so he gets disenchanted from the deck and decides on Gardevoir..and as usual asks me how to play it and such ;P I am such a good soul so i tell him how to play it and such. So lemme list what age division and what us St. Louisans are playing. I will include nikepk and his group..but hes not from St. Louis ;P But he still counts
10-
Littleduckdrew, Gardevoir Ex/Gardevoir(he won last week but he came to see a special someone ;P)
11-14
Furiouszangoose(ben) Rambo
Scizorkid(rachel) BAR
nikepk's sister(Mandy) Gengar/Fossils/Shedinja
15+
Me Salamence/Omastar
Newman Gardevoir
Anthony Sceptile/Muk Ex
nikepk(Pat) Sceptile/Muk Ex
Everyone signs up and such and I help with deck checks and such. So the tourney begins
1st Round: I was the lucky one to get a bye ;P So i do some work for Vince. 0-0
2nd Round: Adam Schell or Alan Schell(Swampert/Suicune) 3-0
I get set up with like a 2nd turn Salamence and he gets like nothing. He plays 3 Shard and never gets one..so that saves me. I just gust up his little basics and Pull Down his Swamperts when he gets them for the win.
We have a lunch break and get pizza and tacos and stuff.
3rd Round: Anthony(Sceptile/Muk) We ID 6-0-0
We decided to draw as there were only 4 undefeated players. And we'd be ahead of the loser of the other 2 undefeated players match and then we wouldn't play each other again.
4th Round: Newman(Gardevoir) 6-0-1
Well ya we always play -_- And the matches are always tough and such. This is no difference. I think i go first and I get a 2nd turn Salamence and get a couple early prizes. He kills my Salamence then I Pull Down a Rare Candied Gardevoir and a Kirliaized Gardevoir. I really don't remember this very well its a blur. I eventually get up another Salamence and grab a couple more prizes. So we get down to 2-2 in prizes and time is called on his turn. My Fossil is active and he has no Reversal so he can't win. So we tie. Lol this could screw up his getting into top 4. It doesn't for me though ^_^
5th Round: Clay Poke_Dad(Gardevoir)6-0-2
So we play and such. I go first, I risky Kick with Bagon and get heads on his lone Ralts. He petms for a Gardevoir so I know he has a Candy in his hand. He Confuse Rays me and gets heads. I go evolve to Shellgon attach a DRE and Rolling Attack for the win. It seems all our games are like this, this is very similar to the game we had at States a month ago ;P One day we'll have a good tourney game ^_^
So heres how the Swiss rounds break out to be in 15+..this is confusing so just bare with me lol.
1st -12 Points Pat Sceptile/Muk
2nd- 12 Points Chris Bex
3rd- 11 Points Me Salamence/Omastar
4th- 10 Points Newman Gardevoir
4th- 10 Points Anthony Sceptile
So Vince doenst want to decide on Tiebreakers so he makes Newman and Anthony play. Newman wins first and Anthony forgets to place prizes on 2nd so thats an auto loss. So Newman gets into Top 4.
So heres my Top 4 game V.S. Chris with Bex. I'm thinking this will be very easy because my deck is completely anti his deck so I had no doubt in my mind. Top 4 is 2 out of 3 btw.
Top 4: Chris Bex
1st Game: I get a huge early lead on prizes 1-5 with a Salamence and Aerodactyl Ex. But he comes around and I run out of basics. So he wins.
2nd Game: I get a 2nd turn Sally and gust up a Fire Energized Rayquaza and agility. Fail to get heads..If I would have gotten heads I prolly would have won but oh well. He then attaches a Multi Energy and KO's me and I have no basics so he wins.
Lol I was hoping for better games but oh well. So Newman wins his Round and proceeds to beaot Chris in Top 2.
In 11-14 its Moltres423 V.S. Ben and Moltres pulls off the win on Ben. I pity poor Ben because he turns 15 in like 3 days. Hes a very good player so I think he will do well in 15+.
In 10- Taylor Mitchell(Dragonite Girl) beats some person and wins the Trip to Worlds. ^_^ I'm very happy for her, Congrats.
Ya so lets recap on St. Louis players and how they ended up doing.
10-
Andrew, he gets into Top 8 being 2nd seed and drops out.
11-14
Ben Makes Top 2 and fails to win.
Rachel..she didn't Top 8 so I dunno how she did
Mandy she makes Top 8 and loses to a BAR.
15+
Newman He wins
Anthony He makes 5h
Me I get 3rd
Nikepk He gets 4th
Ya so I feel St. Louis represented ourselves well =).
I'm not sad by losing at all as I have 4 more opprutunities to get a trip to Worlds ;P So I think i can do it.
So we drive home and I get home at 1:30.
So now my props and slops.
Props:
Triple Play, I always have fun in the tourneys there.
Mandy you made Top 8 and you played 4 Blaziken decks. Very proud of you ^_^
Everyone from Missouri.
Ben, your a very good player and a cool person. You will win one and we'll have fun in Texas and such. AND ALSO get online more. Your never on AIM..unless you blocked me -_- Which wouldnt be cool.
Vince, yet again another fun trip. Thanks for loads of fun.
Slops:
