If there aren't too much people, I'll see you at worlds. :D

I dropped at 4-2 but i'm qualify
I played Blaziken/Heatran/Typlosion but there was too many water in the top so I dropped to keep my ranking (Nicolas H)
I loosed against a slow players who took the 25 first prize and in sudden death

There was a really good level in this tournament

Congratulation to Fabien ;)
 
It is really nice to hear that someone can really play the deck and win with it
Not like Dennis Koks that discards his 4th magikarp in his discard pile and then conlude's that he can't do anythin more
How Noobs

I hope to see you all in San Diego
 
Thanks Mew35

cardfreak, the basis is to discard 3 Magikarp and do as fast as possible 90 damages for... 0 Energy. And you can do it every turn from t2 (generally 60) or t3 until the end, getting a new Gyarados everyturn if one is KO.

So the idea is very simple, but actually the decklist isn't and it has many surprises ! ;-)
 
Someone actually played this deck in a CC here in The Netherlands, and it worked really well for him. I only beat him (with Machamp) because he misplayed and didn't attach his Unown Q on the bench, which I could then KO with Bronzong MD for my final prize.
 
Yes but look Anna that was without RR and I think it takes a lot of guts to play it at nats
I don't see you play it this weekend
I would if I had the right list

Yeah, but French Nationals was without RR as well. I believe Gyarados will be much harder to play with RR because of Luxray GL and maybe other decks, too. However, obviously Fabien made the best choice and had the best list for the DP-PL format :)

11-0 must be the best Nats record so far this year, btw... That's pretty awesome Fabien :D
 
Thanks a lot !

Yeah, without RR, the deck was perfect. Now it's not viable any more because of RR... So maybe we will post the list, and why not an article !

EDIT : because many people sent me PMs and because I won't play the deck at worlds because of RR, maybe kiwill and me will make an article about it, or at least publish the decklist and explain it.
