Saturday Live from U.S. Nationals!

The Captain said:
some of the "SD"s at nats were

Torterra/Sceptile colin's crew is playing this. It works really well since killing 6 torterras is hard when you can acctually consistently power them up.

Bliss/Ban also got a couple of top spots

Eeveelution/Magmortar this is what fulop played and got in top cut with. the decks is absoluetly amazing IMO

The baisic meta today was like 75% GG varients(eeveelutions/raichu/cess+furet lock/regular/others)
15% empoleon varients mostly bronzong tho
5% other arcetypes(beedrill/garchomp ect.)
5% red face paint

really at this point i would just like to say that people should get them selves some leafeon because its probably going to be big next format and even mmore expensive( its like 40 now BTW)

Any idea what the two 9-0's, as well as Drew Holton are running? Also, what decks made up the majority of top cut?
 
Leafeon/Magmortar...mmmm... seems like a nice choice.... i wonder what the decklist is like...

Torterra/Sceptile.... Mmmm Guess that I need some torterribles, mmm? no? maybe.

sorry i didn't really care too much what individual people were running, but i'm pretty sure most of the top cut was gg. everyone and their mom ran gg. I ran a version heavily teched for the empoleon matchup. which i never played :( my friend played seven gg decks in a row.Iit was everywhere

I'm very sad for John K. and Austeen R., i really hope they'll get an invite for Worlds through grinder.

Congratulation to all the other players who made it, especially who played Magmortar-Eevees and Torterra-Sceptile, 2 interesting decks. Congrats again.

Dylan T. 6-2.....WOOT WOOT THE DYLIBIRD FROM ST.LOUIS!! :thumb: After a very rocky 0-2 start, the Bird came back to make the top 32 cut! When round 7 ended, he was in 42nd place...after round 8-he quickly jumped into the 27th spot to make it & end all nervousness...lol Playing Tristen R that last round & winning really helped him along!
Unfortunitly his 1st round today wasnt ending in such a happy note as Sat had. Game 1 went to 45 minutes w/Dylan only having 1 prize card left. So it was a nice neck & neck game. Game 2 was a short one due to game 1's timing, Dylan was up a on prize cards & lost due to time. It was a hard loss, but overall, he should be just as PROUD as we are (his parents & siblings) along with our Gym players! Making the top 32/208 was an awesome day at the office for an 11 yr old! :wink:
We truely are proud of him and didnt really even expect top 32 cut but we took it with great pride!
THANKS SO MUCH TO ALL WHO HELPED HIM ALONG THIS MORNING & THEN HELPED PICK HIM UP AFTERWARDS! You guys ROCK!

Sounds goooooooooood.
Very gooooooooood.

I just remembered about a statement made by POP, we are not going to run T64.
LOL actually this comes close.

I wonder how the players reacted when this was announced (flights+nr of rounds etc).

Dav announced "And for Masters, we are going to run top 32"
*groans all around*
Dav: "Oh, you don't want top 32 for each flight? We can just do top 16 for each flight if you want, for a total of 32.... or we can run top 32 for each flight for a total of 64!"

*cheers all around*

*not an exact quote, but the gist of what he said.
