I don't understand why in Game 2 Benjamin played down the two mewtwo. I understand he ended up winning that game, but it seems like a disadvantage to give David that target. I understand benching one because he was PONTing and there's a chance he'd miss the basic, but why 2? Regardless, good games.

I like this better than videos. Much faster than just watching. Thanks for getting this marcinho
 
Maybe to make a m2-on-m2 revenge KO easier to execute immediately after being N'd? So he'd only need the DCE? (I'm just guessing here, I don't know.)

P.S. The OP is totally awesome--thanks for posting all of this!

Benjamin played 0 (ZERO) Zekrom BW... : /

This is not the first time I see someone commenting this with surprise or disbelief. What's so surprising about it? I personally don't run any Zekrom BW either. What makes it so useful in this deck? Just curious.
 
I don't think there is any other non-ex attacker that can reach the 120 mark like he does.
It's also useful, kinda necessary tbh imho, vs durant..

Zekrom EX is a much better starter IMO, unless you're up against Durant of course.
