It doesn't work... unless you want to call having to get stupidly lucky to win working, then I guess it "works".
If it doesn't work explain to me how it took Fort Wayne IN. CC today with great players and great decks being played.
Everyone else used SP? It works against SP. That's about it...

There's nothing lucky about GeChamp wiping the floor with SP. It has three different super effective attackers. It is MADE to beat SP. So, if a metagame has a lot of the good players using SP, GeChamp is a great play, and it winning isn't lucky.
It works by exploiting a lack of Unown G. If they use Unown G to protect pokemon from Gengar, they are vulnerable to Machamp'sTake out which auto knocks out basic pokemon. If they use too many Unown G/ Stadiums/Energy Gain, you can use Relicanth. The three combined serve as a huge anti-SP deck.

I'm biased because I had to experience its birth at FL states and lost to it in Swiss, and my partner lost to it in Finals.
It beats SP. It's a counter SP deck, though, so that's understandable. But to credit its beating SP to 'luck' is just denying the truth- that it is consistent in beating SP because it is designed to.
