Imagine there was a strategy game with a very important overall timer that wasnt shown to the players. Then suddenly, the programming changes and no one notices the timer has changed bc it's never shown, not even the tournament organizers. What a silly game that'd be haha

I've been too quiet about this, but I'm done. The fact that some people genuinely believe that women are naturally worse at VGC infuriates me to no end. What makes me even madder is that some of them find the need to tell women about their quirky little take. Shut the fuck up.

TPC Korea silenced the players by cancelling the event. They're running away from the consequences of their mistakes and punishing the players even further. These 4 players are true heroes, who sacrificed their Day 2 invite to spread a message and fight for change.

Watching all of his struggles throughout the years, seeing he's so close to achieving his goal, only for it to be stolen away due to Pokémon's own incompetence is beyond heartbreaking. He deserves so much better than this.

It's still absurd that we have to struggle like this to play tournaments of a game that has so much to grow still. The argument of giving priority to top players is very much secondary to increasing the player cap. The priority should be renting bigger venues in the first place.

Less than 2 months ago, I was going on my dream trip around Japan with @JamesWBaek and @LukatheKuka_ . Today, we're all having a dream start to our seasons. Feeling immensely proud of my boys. #GAZWIN

After so many years dreaming and fighting for my chance, which always seemed impossible due to my inability to attend multiple events, I finally got the email. TPCi has officially awarded me a trip to the World Championships. 2014 Edu would be immensely proud.

Accidentally knocked my switch over during game 3 by kneeling back with my headphones, and, with that, I'm dropping from the tournament. Today was just not my day. Everything went wrong. It's time to hit the drawing board and bounce back at Worlds!

Missing out on Day 2 for the first time in 8 years is what's stinging the most. My new personal goal will be to improve my consistency and never miss out again.
