- "Did you realize that you were a championnn"
Now before you read this report and go any further I just want to say that in pokemon the judges have way to much power and authority. They can make the right calls and make em by the book and those are the praised judges. Im not saying all make right calls because some dont choose to make the right calls but some do. The judges that play by the book and make the right calls I just want you to know you deserve so much props. For the judges who are fake, that play favorites with players, and try to mess up a player because of self right-righteousness between them and that player, lets just say I hope yall get your licenses suspended and get some serious retribution.
I find it ironic how there's a post on worlds judges questionable conduct but yet theres nothing on what happend in top four on me vs jason. Im going to tell you what they didnt want you to hear. FYI im not hating on jason, I think its boss the dude won worlds twice. Im hating on the judges who judged my game in top 4 right now. Gino a hater? Not really just upset because I should have been world champ and the judges rulings prevented the champ from being champ.
Sunday Morning:
I invite people to my room saturday night to sunday morning at 2-6am. I crash about 6 in the morning and wake up to a friend Tyler Jones banging on my hotel room door screaming "Gino wake up your gonna get disqualified!" Apparently its 9 in the morning and I was still sleeping. I open the door and ask him how much time I have to shower and get ready. He says if you dont get their in 2 minutes your gonna get DQ'ed. I scream "What!" and suddenly my eyes popped open. I throw on my sneakers and im in a tshirt and shorts and I grab my cap. I run down stairs rushing to the play area with my deck sitting on the table with just 1 minute left before I would have been disqualified. Good save tyler! I've been sick for almost a week but I felt horrible going into the Top 32 my throat was really soar. PS: Darrel, Brian, and Eric were sleeping before I jetted out of my hotel room and they must have been madd beat because they forget to wake me up.
Top 32 - Evans Cheung (AmpZong)[NO]
G1 & G2: I havent ate anything or drank anything. My stomach feels like im going to vomit, I keep swallowing saliva, I feel gross because I havent brushed my teeth or showered. Im basicially wearing pajamas in a dead sleep playing in the world championships and my brain is still sleeping but somehow I play ridiculously fast and beat this kid in 30 minutes BOTH GAMES!
Top 16 - Matthew Koo (Plox)[CA]
Pregame: I went upstairs to my hotel because I had 40 minutes to play with which I then showered, brushed my teeth, freshened up, got into some clean clothes, put on the american bandana, grabbed my dice, and puked before my top 16 match. I then brushed my teeth of course! Like I said I've been sick for almost a week before arriving in worlds. I wouldnt miss this worlds oppertunity for nothing because it payed off. I then grab something to eat to settle my stomach and get my gameface on.
G1: I get a gardy setup, I wait for jirachi ex, I get muk out with lake boundary and start ohkoing his setup. He cant respond to well so I run through his deck with OHKO's.
G2: I get a really slow setup and I have 1 prize left and he has 3. Before I had 1 prize left I koed a jirachi ex but I used a plus power on him and flipped 2 prizes with gallade. Forgetting that even tho with the plus power I would only have to flip 1 prize with gallade Im drawing two of those prizes anyway and that plus power it turns out I would need to win. He brings up gardy lv.x and ohkoes me with boundary. I have ralts + Plus Power x2 weakness = 80 damage = GG but I misplayed so I lose.
G3: Its similiar to game one but he wins almost all the wagers to stay alive and fights back but I win 1-3 on time and I would have won imo if it had continued.
Top 8 - Takae Suzuki (BanBliss)[JP]
G1: Going into this game I know I have to play smart and wisely with my pachirisu and counter stadiums. I make sure I power up a gallade manually. I countered her stadium when I had to strike with dre. She played well but I made sure I could outplay the deck and all of my options were going according to plan. Although I couldn't muk her because of holon WP which was annoying imo but my side strategy worked with gallade, pachy, claydoll, and bring down which were enough options to win me this game.
G2: She rushed me this game and I had to hit a counter stadium to actually beat the deck this one turn. It was a huge risk becuz I had gallade active with one energy. If I could rip the stadium and gallade + P + Dre I'd be set even if she beached me next turn. I didnt want to retreat with two energys on gallade. I claydolled for 4 and drew 4 cards with stevens advice and counter stadiumed her crystal beach and made a repeat of how I won game one except this game I dre'd early and manually powered up with Psychic and Call energy late game. Good games though.
"Everybody who saw this game called it the greatest mirror matches ever played by any player, As a player in the match the series was nothing but epic, I wouldnt have traded these games for anything, everything was back to back, their were highs and lows, top decks left and right, risks and payoffs and unbelieable moves made back and fourth."
Top 4 - Jason Klaczynski (Plox)[US]
G1: This game couldnt have went better for me. I got muk out and 3 gardevoirs t4. I had gardy t2 with dre. He put up a fight and actually drew 3 prizes but when I have 3 gardevoir with dre + Call on each of them and muk out I dont think anyone can win.
G2: I start with jirachi and he starts with jirachis. Hes first and he does call energy. I whiff on the P energy. I roseannes for 2. He attaches and locks me in. I struggle throughout the game but I dont scoop I actually draw 3-4 prizes this game with some top decks but his setup was like mines in game 1 it crushed me.
G3: The game I had but lost. This game was so intense. He ripped T2 Gardy and did claydoll for like 3-4 cards and like drew 4-5 cards with stevens advice and whiffed on DRE. I then decided to jirachi ex him which crippled him soo bad. Not to mention for 2-3 more turns I used claydoll and gardevoir. I get setup and take a close lead but with options and muk on my bench for when he scrambles im set. He uses gallade wit scrambles and hes a top decking god machine right now ripping everything he needs to pull off a huge comeback from a t2 whiff. I remember it being like 2-3 on prizes with me having 2 and I ko his active gallade with my gardevoir and its 1-3 on prizes. My gardevoir has damage on it. He then brings up gardy with 4 damage on it and koes my gardy with scramble. I have gallade with 1 energy on it benched. I dont have dre in my hand and I've only used 1 the whole game which is shocking. I have like 8 cards in my hand and I have to burn cards to be able to stevens I debate between rare candying a ralts into a gallade on the bench because if I celios for gardy I could gardy lv.x bring down for the win later but he has dusknoir on the bench I have to win now! I didnt gardevoir early game I've only used 1 thanks to jirachi ex and my draws so I have 2 gardevoirs left in my deck so I could potentially use them later game. I have no choice to rare candy and burn into gallade and I stevens for 5 with about 16 cards left in my deck I cant remember but I whiff on the dre and I had one prize unflipped so 70 + 40 would have won me the game. DRE was also my next card. I attach a bench and leave the gallade active. He ko's me. I bring up another gallade with energy on it and time was called on my turn. Im ahead 1-2 on prizes. All through these games jason was called for slow play 4 times and I was called for slow play once speficially on a warp point move. The judge gives jason a 5 minute time extension when time was called on my turn. The look on my face is a smirk just because at nationals when I got called for slow play I got a warning, caution, prize penalty, and a game loss. During this game jason got penalized 4 times for slow play. He receieved a warning, caution, a verbel warning stating if he does something like this again or myself it would be a prize penalty to a player even though i didnt do anything BDS states that but if jason got called again that prize penalty would have won me the game, and then he gives a 5 minute time extension. How are these the right penaltys I got warning, caution, prize penalty, and game loss at nationals? The same exact judge who gave these penaltys to me at nationals was judging my top 4 game. The funny thing is I have no discretion with that judge because he told bds and other judges about it and they discussed it. Here I am thinking jason is gonna lose like I did at nats like he should of by the right call. Its a cheap win but when it happens to you I really wanted vengeance. How do these penaltys just suddenly change because jason isnt gino? I sensed in my head and felt this sensation run through my veins that I know for a fact the judges in pokemon play favorites. When jason was called on slow play for a 4th time BDS Made a ruling on it and gave a verbel warning and a time extension when time was called on my turn. After the game BDS stated and I qoute "Jason Klacynski is the golden boy of pokemon." Ya this match or penaltys werent fixed or anything. Remember im not hating on jason im just extremely upset with the judges. I got absolultely dumped on by judges penaltys this year and when another player does the exact same thing I did its totally different. I didnt complain or show frustration at worlds because I0 knew everybody wanted to see that so I held it in and sucked it up. Im glad I typed this up because it'll show you my pride and the truth on how some judges judge even if it isnt the way they are supposed to. If anyone takes offense to this feel free to PM. After nationals and all the penaltys I was given I read the pokemon guidelines and penaltys religiously. I know the rules and I know what penaltys are supposed to be and what there not supposed to be. I could tell you a penalty or a recommended penalty off the back of my head. I didnt go all out this season playtesting weekly and being the best I can potentially be to get cheated by judges rulings and playing favorites. Jasons the champ and I got nothing but props to that dude but just remember the judges beat gino not jason.
3rd/4th - Jimmy O'Brien (EmoZong)[US]
G1: I get a quick gardevoir and gallade and run through his draw-spread-pass setup.
G2: He gets a god baby jesus setup and crushes me. I ask the judge how much time is left and theirs 2 minutes left. Theirs a 2 minute time extension this game because of loud noise. Its going to take jimmy 3 turns to draw 3 prizes. I know if I play this game out on time I'll win on time but this was about being a true champion and winning with confidence not by a fault in the rulings where a player is clearly going to win a game but loses because of a techniciallity and a cheap shot aka winning on time. I explain this to jimmy and tell em lets go to game 3 sudden death im going first.
G3: I start with ralts and energy grab bench. I forget what he has active but he retreats it. Long story short he has up bronzong with water, water, and my gardy has p + dre, next prize wins. I wager, I win the wager I need lake boundary to win. I claydoll for 3 no boundary, I copy his oaks visit and pray for the lake boundary. My 1st card was lake boundary. I shake his hand and win 3rd place like a champion is supposed to win it by the rules. I refuse to win on time or stall or any of that cheap ways to win games. If you think I do then please ask around because after I scooped in G2 like I did ya'll cant say NOTHING!
This season I look at not in dissapointment but as the most amazing season ever! Even if I shoulda won worlds too! Im the first nats champ to win nats and go into worlds and top cut and better the same year. Im looking forward to next years nationals to defend my national championship more then anything! I'd rather be a 2 time national champion then a 2 time world champion just because nationals is so much harder and at nationals 1 bad hand its pretty much over for you. At worlds theres less luck, less people, and you can play with a couple of bad hands.
