Back from my month long 'vacation' from PokeGym I figured i'd post a little about my cities.
Week 1
uluth & Austell , GAI found myself going north this week. The only cities in FL where south FL. AKA Randieville . Overall they were like 5-6 hours from my house, it was only 4 hours to GA, so we went north. I ran Gallade/Absol. It was not pretty on saturday as I CRUISED to a 6-1 day, losing to my dad in t2 , literally on a coin flip. Sunday, much like saturday it was fairly easy all day.When people aren't prepared for absol it's a beast. I went 7-0 and first place.
13-1 at cities
Week 2:Orlando & Melbourne, FL This was the week of Sci-Fi CC. This tournament is always HUGE, it's in central orlando and the league is around 60-70 players weekly. Same as week 1, I decided to run absol/G&G The tournament however starts poorly as I get t2d by a banette. the match is so heavily in my favor i'm disguisted. Especially considering this kid is a randie and decided to FOLD a game which he won on t2 to hurt my resistance. In the end I go 5-1, I miss cut at 5th place. Apparantly I accuse our PTO of organizing the whole concession of the kid from rd1... This later became known as the "Craig Conspiracy".
Sunday.Once again I run G&G. I start off cruising, 2-0. Round 3 I end up losing due to 2 prizes ralts and one of my night maitenance, I never draw the other. I sac'd a ralts t2 so I fight with a long poke all game. I finish the tournament at 4-1, only to once again miss cut as 5th place.
22-3 at cities
Week 3: Kissimmee & Brandon, FL This was prolly one of the most legit tournaments of the season. Zach F, Bianchi, Alex H, Steve S, John S, and Eric C all in the same room. I made a bad judgement call and decided to go with Absol/Empoleon. it's a terribly inconsistant deck, which I will never play again. I start off 3-0, play Zach with Magmortar and get rolled. I win the next 3, only to see Zach in finals again and lose. I got 3 empoleons up in 4 games vs him. Absol/Emp is a terrible deck.
Sunday. I refine empoleon. take out the absol garbage and fine tune it. I go 2-0 taking a win over bobby malec(was only 4 points below me at start of the day). I look around and see a few no so good matchups and drop.
30-5 at cities
Week 4: I did not attend cities this weekend
Week 5: This was the starting day for the "GA marathon of Cities". There were 4 Cities in a row this weekend, it was amazing. I started off Thursday playing G&G. I was 3-0 at the time, and I played bobby malec. Game was really close. I was ahead 1 prize left to his 2. Time get's called on his turn. he takes a prize, and then next turn I bring down for my last prize. Tournament ends with bobby and I. with the series tied 1-1 I took an early 4 prize lead. time was called with the prizes standing me having 1 left, him having 3 left He took a prize to make it 1-2, me being it up. I would not have won the game had it not gone to time, however I did not stall him out. 1 hour simply isn't enough time to play a best of 3 game.
Friday: I decided to sit out friday We played football in the rain out in the field. I ruined a pair of pants, broke my pinky finger and Aaron spit on some womens van. Pretty uneventful. I guess you TN players can consider this one a gift from Steve Silvestro :thumb:
Saturday: We get lost on the way to the event. But that was a good thing!!! It gave me time to build my deck for the day. I built Magmortar. OMG the deck is AMAZING. I end up going undefeating zinging gastrodon!
Sunday: I didn't play sunday either. I came up here for 4 CCs, but only played 2!! I'm cool!
Overall Cities Record: 44-5
