Worlds 2011 Day 2 thread

Thanks for all the support, guys! This is way better than I ever expected for my first World Championships, and I'm hoping to have a great run!

The players in my games all showed a lot of class, everyone was respectful and friendly and I really had a great time! The final game against Sami was great (I think our lists are only 3ish cards apart)--props to him for having such an amazingly consistent run at Worlds each year!

@ajhawk I mained Reshiphlosion up until around 2-3 weeks ago when I decided that it'd be a good idea to learn two decks. I liked Reshiram (still think it's a great play), but it's a pretty linear strategy and didn't think it gave me enough options to outplay people. I logged a ton of games with both and ended up liking MegaZone better, and eventually decided it'd be my deck to play for Worlds. I tested a LOT in the two days before (around 10-20 games a day), and I had a deck crisis around 11 at night last night when I lost around 5-6 games to various Reshiram players, and was really close to changing decks last minute (just ask Eli Moses lol). In the end decided I'd take what was freshest in my head, and I couldn't be happier with how things ended up.

Trying my best tomorrow!

Hey, the best of luck to you tomorrow! I hope you Prof-It in the finals!
 
Dylan Lefavour making top cut too, he won worlds in 2008 in seniors didn't he? Congrats to all the players who made top cut and especially good luck to all the US players.

Wow... of the four players that I know personally that played today, not a single one made tops... XD

Anyone know what happened to Karl K from the US? Going from doing so well in Nats to going 0-4+ is kind of.... wow. XD Just bad luck?
 
I wanna say Good Luck to Joey in Juniors tommorrow. Lesage in seniors tommorrow, be nice to see another 2x Champ other than Ness. and in Masters, its hard to see so far. Right now I think the top 4 will be Sami/Wittz and Cohen/Reed. Possibly seeing a Sami/Cohen finals. Two men that took 2nd in 09 and one of them finally taking the crown. Personally I'm gonna cheer for sami (no offense to Jwittz). For the fact that he decided to go to Pokemon Worlds over Yugioh worlds this year. Obviously he's good at both games and the fact he chose pokemon, I think its gonna be his year finally.

Don't forget about Yuka Furusawa, the 2010 Junior Wold Champion. She could be a back to back champion, the wins would be in different age divisions but the feat is still rather impressive.

Also, I read an article stating she was the second female to win a World Championships, does anybody know who the first was. Just curious.
 
Man, its Day 2 already. Time goes by so fast!

Anyways, I'm really rooting for Yuka Furusawa to win. I mean, she's a pretty good player, and I think she can do pretty well once again. It would also be great for her to win in order to give more girl power for the TCG.:thumb:

Also, I'm hoping JWittz will win masters. He did a really good job in swiss. Its too bad he's going to go against good players. He'll be going against Miska Saari, and if Josh wins in top 16, there's a possibility he may go against Jay Hornung, so that's going to hurt; but, imagine what would happen if he won worlds. His worlds report episode for Profit will likely get a tremendous amount of views.

Well, whatever it is, the top 16 cut for each division is quite interesting.
 
I personally did not think josh would advance to top cut! congrats to him. profit is wonderful.

The first female world champion was i believe, Mindy Lambkee? Sorry, if i misspelled her last name. Correct me if i'm wrong.

I noticed that too. I'm assuming he had abysmal luck, but I haven't heard anything yet.

Then again, note that other great players such as Con Le and Pooka also did very poorly.

I'm rooting for Yuka too. She is obviously a good player not even losing a step in her first year in the Seniors division. Just imagine if she continues to play for another 4+ years. She would be a forced to be reckoned in Masters even if she doesn't win this year. Also, to add on top of that, she even enter through the Last Chance Qualifier last year.

You spelled it right, I googled her name and it says she won in 2002. Even better she is a Washington player.... :)
 
I'm sorry, but JWittz can't win his top 16 match (but if he does then he will go all the way good luck no offense towards you) because he is playing Miska Saari who already won the Seniors Wolrds in 2006 and now he is going to win the Master Worlds this year as well. Nah just kidding I really want both of them to do well as they are the only ones I'm rooting for in the top 16 sadly one has to drop obviously and having the 2nd person to win Worlds twice be from Finland would be awesome.

Anyways good luck to everyone and have fun. : )
