Here are my 7 Regionals results in 2024 season. This is an imperfect season. I spent the first half of the race getting back into competitive shape, and the second half to actively pursue my highest goal. While the results weren't perfect, I'm glad I settled back into the brutal

Here is the team I reached 9th of 663 in LA Regionals.
In response to the changes in the environment over the past two weeks, I have made some adjustments and improvements in details.
I regret not sticking to a similar approach in NOLA, but now I have to look forward. Team
All Finalists received this email just few minutes ago.
The Master Division Final round will be CANCELED.
All four participants will be disqualified from the tournament, there for will be canceled their Day2 invites. They will not receive any inquiries regarding.
Finished 50th of 824 at Orlando Regionals.
The journey on Day 2 was a bit too difficult. I lost to 3 top players in a row with a result of WLL, and then due to exhaustion of energy, I threw out my only LL in two days in the last round.
I've got 3 Regional Day2s in a row, but
Finished NAIC with Top8 eventually, with 3rd in Swiss Day1 and 5th in Swiss Day2.
Thanks to ShadowRider and his knights, we deserve this!
Now, let's open up the road to WCS2022 in London! See you in August!
Finished 11-4 14th at Charlotte Regionals.
It just happened a lot today, and my luck is almost running out. Luckily, it ended well.
VGC is still so exciting. I will continue to work hard for the next breakthrough.
I will write a team report later to share my experiences in
8-1 in Day 1 Swiss Round, with the only loss to 2nd Agati.
After getting 60CP in NJ, 200CP in Milwaukee, and at least 160CP from NAIC, I have opened up the road to WCS2022 held in London.
What they gonna say now?
Finished 9th of 663 in LA Regionals.
It was a tough weekend. I was on the brink of elimination several times, but I managed to get back into contention through sheer grit and luck. I had no regrets about the whole run, despite I was bubbled eventually. I picked myself up in
Finally, the final step of preparation for the road to London. My twitter will be signed off until the end of WCS. I wanna make one last effort to bring this unforgettable summer to a better ending.

Just Qualified World with Mamo.
9W-1L-1DC Glitch in GC3.
501/500😎
Here it comes my final standing. Although my 2nd season was a bit lackluster so far, it's still exciting to qualify the World with my favorite Pokémon.
I will consider bringing her to Orlando, but before that,
Just decided to bring Mamoswine to complete the final stretch of 500CP before EUIC.
32CP earned, 68 left, and attempts contain 1 PC, 4 MSS and 2 Global Challenges.
Here comes the rental code of this great Groudon-Yveltal team.
I also wrote a team report in Chinese. My friends in JollyBreloom will help me translate into English and Japanese version. They are expected to appear soon on VictoryRoad and Liberty-Note.
Enjoy!

Finished 10-4 Top 16 at Portland Regionals. Was 2-1 in day2, but a 1-on-1 Draco Meteor miss in R13 and a terrible streaming performance finally stopped my steps.
However, this experience still means a lot to me. It allowed me to finally end my long period of self-doubt and
My life was brought to a standstill by the pandemic. When WCS2022 was announced, I saw it as an opportunity to get my world going again. It's tough, like Slow Start for Regigigas. In one setback after another, I gradually Calm Mind and finally grasped this illusory opportunity.

Lost by a double protect in game 3.
It's a classic VGC ending, kinda brutal, but the only thing you can do is accept.

Milwaukee Regionals is around the corner this weekend. Milwaukee is a city I've only been to once, but it's also the city that makes me revive. Who will be the new chosen one? Anyway, good luck to everyone who will seek the Title this weekend.🙏🙏
Finished 136th in EUIC with Galar Zapdos. It was my 4th 6-3 of the season and the most disappointing performance I've been with myself. I'm sure I can do better, but today I don't feel like I've made any progress.

Back to Boston.
It was the first hunt without any harvest, although I still learnt a lot. I must assess and build a new risk framework for this exciting competition. The feeling of failure is deep in my bone, no matter when the next success comes, all I can do is keep going.
Finished Pittsburgh Regional with 6-3 54th. Once 5-1 but get destroyed by constantly bad match ups, I eventually stopped my step here. It's a good comeback, but not good enough. Next time I will be stronger.
50/500
Finished Top 4 of 70 in Portland Premier Challenge 1 because my Switch is out of battery. The team check of top cut took almost 1 hour, and my battery came from 40% to 15% below. Fortunately I got an extremely cute Rowlet plush.
Hopefully something lucky will happen tomorrow.
Finished Sacramento Regionals with 47th. After another failed 6-3 roll, I felt more exhausted than ever. In all the games where I decided to pick Mamoswine, it did its job perfectly. Sadly, it seems like I lack the strength or luck to bring my favorite mon of all time into day2.
I finished my first WCS trip with a 4-4 record. I was unlucky in the early part of the competition. But the proximate cause of the final exit is the failure to see a more stable worldline in Round7 G3. So on the whole, I was able to take the loss well.
Just decided to bring Mamoswine to complete the final stretch of 500CP before EUIC.

Jude is undoubtedly a very talented and creative VGC player. But before discussing his VGC level, I would rather he learn how to be an adult who is aware of some basic manners and rules. This is something more important to everyone, but especially to himself.
Here comes a trainer who came from nowhere but got his ticket to London with 4 (actually 5) tournaments.
Well, it's me.
Now it's time to get my Visa from VFS. Hope that will be all right.
This match in 2019 was the starting point for me to decide to start participating in VGC Tournaments. 4 years have passed, I am still far away from the highest level of this game. I will work hard and continue to make progress. Good Game, it's my pleasure.
What an amazing rendition of your team! Looks great, Trainer! 😍

Personal Updated.
I feel an unprecedented amount of pressure. Although I have been trying my best to maintain, the triangular balance between study, work and VGC is still fragile. No matter what will happen this weekend, I should stop my VGC activities until the end of the 2nd
Finished London Open with 6W-3L 48th with Googles Palkia&White Herb Calyrex-Ice team.
When I was rejected due to the late time for a booster shot in SLC, I was preparing a Yvel-Icerider team. It vanished, but eventually, I brought both of my favorite restricted PMs to Worlds.
Just found an interesting fact that, when
@CybertronVGC
took a break from casting Pokémon, I was Mr. 6-3 in 3 consecutive Regionals.
When the 🐐 of casting picked his microphone again, I immediately completed my self-breakthrough.
So please cast Orlando my GOAT, I implore you.
I would like to briefly express my personal opinions on CSR teambuilding:
Sash CSR is kinda fraud in OTS official tournaments, because it is usually an invalid item choice outside of non-Tera mirrors.
CSR needs strong Fighting Type allies as the support of offensive resources.
I went undefeated on the first day of the biggest Pokemon tournament of all time, finishing with 9 wins and 0 losses. If I win 4 of my 6 rounds tomorrow I’ll make it into the final bracket!
The first time I met Wolfe was at the 2022 NAIC Round 9. Because I had already confirmed day2&my first WCS with a 7-1, ranking him was like opening the gate of new world. After dodging a Meteor Beam and winning, I stammered to him, "I'm your big fan."
I'm glad you want to know what's going on in CHS&CHT VGC community.
The situations in Hong Kong and Taiwan are just OK, at least there are official events held by TPC. (Although their event organization is chaos, with a lot of drama almost every year.)
The situation in China
Seeing Taiwanese /Chinese VGC events only be side events to TCG makes me so sad
If you look at battle stadium rankings, they are some of the most creative and amazing players at this game.
I wish they would have an opportunity to compete at worlds through proper events :(
I thought about it for a long time, maybe the first lesson to change should be to learn to enjoy my travel again. When I was in Milwaukee, Columbus and London in 2022, I naturally enjoyed every moment I stayed on the field because I knew I’m about to leave. But in the past 2024
There should have been a Kyogre.
However, it doesn't affect that was am impressive epic match.
Congrats
@TheKingVillager
! You proved the strength of Groudon ShadowRider. You deserve it!
@AgatiGa
my bro, that was really close. It was a pity but we could still send it back.
Finished 5-4 in NAIC 2024.
This is a completely unacceptable result. After bubbled from LA, I never thought NAIC would be my only major event of the 2024 season without CP. I have no doubt that I am running a more mature team, I didn’t even make any obvious mistakes in the games
Goiânia and Vancouver added! (sorry for the delay)
While there's not much change in the TCG top 10, we can't say the same for VGC, as
@TheKingVillager
moves up to 4th after winning Vancouver this weekend!
The Wolfe GOAT Glick that we had so much hope for, fell at the door of Day2, again.
In my country, Wolfe is the reason why so many players fell in love with VGC.
But this time, in addition to feeling regret, it was hard not to have some other thoughts about his recent matters.
