some of us paid the way to worlds, had to grind in til 3 am, then wake up under 4 hours later after having to play 9 long rounds, winning at least 8, and then play the top players of the world.
don't complain about bad luck 2 years in a row, just learn how to metagame and build a better deck
i know how to metagame and how to build excellent decks.
btw if you need the grinder to get the invite that means you missed it in all other events during the year.
Again, i know there are more american playing and bla bla....
But you should understand that a
single person from each country (beside UK) in Europe could go to world (unless he is willing to spend 2500-3000$) and that invite+trip is given based on a SINGLE EVENT.
Now, if you say that luck doesn't exist in a card game that means:
1) you don't know what a card game is
2) you have amazing topdecking skills (cheating???)
now i don't complai for my 2nd places.
but someone pointed out (to a friend of mine) that the first > second and that we are just envy for the guy that got first place and went to world.
Pheraps i was wrong to get so upset since the guy that insulted us clearly didn't know what we was talking about cause he said that our national champion was in top 32 when he went 4-4.
The prof he was a troll trying to flame the topic was he didn't get an invite even with his amazing playing skills.... (LOL just kidding)
o... we are not complaining about anything.
I did very bad mistakes due to lack of sleep the days before and had bad luck (squirtle prized in first game and steelix and 2 retriever prized in the second)
Our champion had a really poor deck (LBS without castform ,latias, stadiums, holon's engine) but topdecked like there's no tomorrow and won.
