As someone who's lived in both the west and Japan, I figured it may be helpful to give my insights and best practices on traveling to Japan for Worlds so I put this doc together. Feel free to RT for awareness
Dexオフ決勝1落ちだけど予選抜け地味に嬉しい!!
Top cut DexOff, the first SV Japanese grassroots event!!! Arc Ting lu to chip at opponents while mitigating damage and closing out with banded dragonite + chien-pao felt really good. Thanks to the usual boys

@Hianmain
My worlds run certainly had a lot to be desired, but I feel very lucky to be surrounded by incredible people and take part in exciting things!
世界大会は悔いのある選択でいっぱいでしたが、素敵な友達に囲まれ楽しい企画に参加でき、とても満たされる週末でした!

8-1 and 2nd in Swiss going into day 2…. At a loss of words, thank you to everyone who helped me get to this point. Going to give it everything I got tomorrow
2位通過でOCICDay2進出できて感無量です、ここまで支えてくださった方に感謝しきれません。明日も頑張ります!!!
Finished top 4 in the
@zeldavgc
High Roller Challenge after an 0-2 start. Still bathing in the exhilaration of playing high stakes VGC against phenomenal players. Appreciate all of my friends who helped me perfect this team. Report coming soon.
ゼルチャレトップ4きちゃあああああ
I went ahead and translated this into English. Really insightful and easy to follow, so I'm sure this will help everyone start brewing some spice for the new format!
So proud of the team and prep that got me to 19th, despite a poor showing in day 2. Just continued learning on how to maintain solid playing across multiple days. Can’t wait to get my revenge at EUIC. Mortal Spin Glimmora is the goat!
OCIC惜しくも19位でした、お疲れ様でした!!
Candidly, very disappointed with my performance this weekend but beyond fulfilled to see so many buddies perform out of their minds and spend quality time together after so long. Sobering reminder that these people are the reason I play this game. Thank you for being my friends🤗
Made my first day 2 of regionals with this gooey boy! Thanks

初のリージョナルday2行ってきます!ヌメルゴンガチで強い
21st in the PC3 Qualifier. Extremely proud of crafting a team that worked for both best of 1 and best of 3 alike. I’ll be going over the team + laddering on my first stream later today for those interested!
グロチャレ21位でした!朝に初配信しますのでよかったら見にきてください!

Finished 22nd this weekend at Lille Regionals. Another result where I am hungry for more but feeling lucky I had the opportunity to compete. A big thank you to
@13Yoshi37
for being a great roommate and
@colonel_vete
for being the only reason I went undefeated against gholdengo!
Ended Top 24 in Players Cup 2. All in all extremely satisfied with how I played against top players, and even more so how I thought of this team concept. But I can’t thank
@gozira2004
enough for turning this Grimm Fini fever dream into a powerhouse of a reality. りんや最高!
Just realized s10 is probably the first time in VGC history when it seems more optimal to make HP stats multiples of 16 rather than 16n - 1 due to prevalence of rillaboom and decline of weather. Pretty cool!
s10のゴリラの人気のおかげでwcs史上初で16n-1より16n調整の���が良さそう!
In the spirit of Spotify Wrapped, here is my VGC Wrapped! Despite not getting the big finish I’m still hungry for, I’m really proud of the consistent results I’ve put out. I also feel really lucky for the people I became closer to. What is your VGC Wrapped?

Snuck into Australia for a cheeky summer break and finished 10th place at Brisbane Regionals! Happy to give Goodra one last ride and really appreciated the company of the Aussie community 🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺
VR Qualifier Top 8 with the OG gang. Going to give everything I got for another cut so I can actually make the grand finals this season.
VRトップ8だあああああああああ
Out already. Got too ahead of myself with a team after getting first on Battle Stadium while testing, and didn’t realize how unsuitable it was for open sheet best of 3. Disappointed to already end an otherwise successful season, but will come back stronger. Let’s go

WE WON AI-OFF JAPAN OFFLINE TOURNAMENT AHHHHHHHHH
So proud of my team for coming back from 0-3 start round 1 😵💫
It’s an honor and privilege to work with Aaron and Wolfe on this episode. Bridging the western and japan VGC community has always been a passion of mine, and it makes me so fulfilled to do this on their platform with such an iconic guest. Would mean the world if you took a listen

11th... so close yet so far. Couldn’t be more grateful for everybody who sent encouragement and supported me this weekend. See my name in bold next time.
11位。また今度頑張ります。応援してくれた方々には感謝しかありません。
Over the moon to get my first casting experience alongside this absolute juggernaut of a roster! Sincere appreciation towards Victory Road for taking a chance on me like this. Looking forward to another riveting year of World Cup 💃

Finished 23rd on ranked to wrap up the year! Really proud of getting this result with 2 hyper offense teams I crafted. Team report coming soon!
On top of being completely two-faced with the apology, he is so inebriated with his fame and accomplishments that he attributes them to being the reason we called him out.
@MeninoJardim
you are an embarrassment of a VGC figure. Please leave before the support tickets force you to
This apology was clearly a lie to rid himself of blame. They even created another server to complain about how they were falsely called out. It’s clear how Edu views the situation, he should be deplatformed, especially if he holds his criticism as virtue signaling jealousy.
Proud to have gone 8-0 and win the Seattle February MSS. Always grateful for

I genuinely feel queasy reading this. Unbelievably nauseating seeing prominent members of our community promote this level of toxicity. There is no better confirmation this issue is truly systemic and needs to be eradicated ASAP
エドゥ含める数人が性差別的発言でやばい事なってます
TW: Self Harm
This is unacceptable.
@jaigosai4
operated a public discord rampant with misogyny, targeted harassment, and personal attacks. The behavior of prominent community members like

After being exposed for flagrantly dehumanizing already marginalized people, why is your first response to reassure people that you don’t resent them instead of apologizing if you regret your actions? Do you know what kind of message this conveys to your numerous followers?
I got 2nd place at the Teru Challenge
#4
! I’ve been discouraged constantly losing early in top cut at Japanese grassroots tourneys, and just over the moon to finally have a big finish. Excited to wrap up s2 on a high note, and to keep up the momentum for the rest of the year!

Why are we trending this lol it’s like writing an essay and grading it yourself 😆 Let your play and results speak for themselves. Love Tamtam having the only modest one on the TL (but definitely over humble - those numbers gotta be higher after that match in PC3 quals 🤯)

Great illustration of why Gastrodon felt so solid and consistent back then, yet not at all now despite both being regional formats. Really miss SwSh S1!
Was gunning for top 40 to play in online japan nats but played too safe against tough players. Looking forward to redemption in Players Cup. s/o

Really excited to have cut VR two weekends in a row but Giulio just outplayed me in every possible way despite a favorable matchup for me and I’m out in top 16. The points I have is kinda sus for Grand Finals so going for the 3-peat next weekend.

I have so many incredible friends to be thankful for. These boys helped with my prep big time, but also sort through some personal issues that were getting in the way of me competing. I probably wouldn’t have made it here without them
And lastly all my friends in the Pokémon community or not who cheered me on all weekend. I was teary eyed at dinner yesterday reading through every message, it really means the world.
