So Jack, Cameron, Loc, someone from that group is making cut this weekend right? We know how these goes by now! :D

33:50 the reason for saying your deck is bad even at 7-0 is because you see the road ahead and know you’re not favored to make top cut.

These guys are definitely trolling 😂 control is the play for Baltimore. How does Drago get through 5 Mimikyu?

I would be interested to know if Cameron has seen the stellar crown lists with Gholdengo and Dragapult together. Is it a meme? I mean yea probably, but it is very fun with Crispin.

First!

GOATed Guest, Kevin. Not biased, even though I'm indirectly a contributor to the website, as my build and battle videos help his Prerelease Articles out a lot! 😂

I really like episodes like this! Thank you!

Holy hell Justin is a person? I thought basil was a plant(?)

Was great hearing such a great resource in the community on the pod

Shakshuka is also one of my favorite breakfast type dishes. Mellow if your in the Seattle area you gotta try Lola or Skalka to try it. So good...😋

My absolute goat proud and love ya

Top players come to different conclusions sometimes and still get the same results. Example, Raz is saying Fezendipiti is bad, but Ian Robb (who also made top 4 but got match lossed) was thanking his friends for convincing him to put Fezendipiti in. Both made top 4, and both disagree about fez. It's more like playing well and understanding how to play your list matter more than the list itself

The absolute GOAT of our community!!!

First player from mesa in worlds cut?

Great pride that such a small country reaches such great achievements, maybe thanks to you Pokémon will finally understand that there is a flourishing community here and will come to us as well, thank you Raz for this amazing representation and keep on giving!

ketchup on eggs believers getting validated by shakshuka

Let’s goooooo!

Raz!!!! amazing to see you in this interview, and amazing to see you reaching top 4 in worlds! i am sure you can take the whole event next year :) best player in Israel and among the very best in the world of competitive Pokémon!

Raz, our one and only king 👑

The King! So proud of my friend!

Raz the 🏆! Israel is on the map 🇮🇱

AYYYY!!! IT'S OUR BOY!!!!

I loved the shakshuka talk, definitely try some Kevin, it's very easy to make and soooo tasty!

Big pp dingo ❤❤❤

im glad they have a hard cap this year esp for junior / senior. they let 'going to worlds' get to their head when reality their dog at the game...

He was rolling dice if you ask me 🤷🏻‍♂️

It definitely was not warranted.

Man is Grant always this negative on things? Almost every topic he responds with “don’t care” or “no” or “that place sucks.”

I want to see rotation and season send both hit on the last day of August, ready for a new season and rotation on September 1st. Players might move in ages category/academic year, a new season is a fresh start... It all just makes sense

Mellow using his teacher or speaking from a point of authority voice a lot this episode. Hope everything's alright, seem pretty upset

There is an asterisks, that's nothing against the kid and i think his 50k plus what 100-200k in prizes will make it so he doesn't care what people say. Iron thorns shouldn't have won based on how the games played out, that is nothing negative against Fernando

It’s not about his win in the finals, it’s about his overwhelming loss in top 8. Because it was Ian Robb, I would put asterisks on Jesse’s top 4 win as well if Ian was DQed from top 4 instead of top 8.

One thing that I have not seen yet is giving Fernando Cifuentes credit for innovating with his Quad Iron Thorns deck with a heavy gust (4x Pokemon Catchers and Prime/Boss) which I had not seen before. And is not obvious. Prime Catcher seems to be the better ace spec. He just took it one step further.

Do the Ian robb

I love this podcast

Contrary to the lay person reaction, my wife who has no clue how this game is played nor is she familiar with those involved, said (when she saw it), awww, that looks SO bad. I also showed her IBs version, just NR from her. The moment I saw it live, when twitch chat mentioned it, knew right away the optics was bad (regardless the intent or meaning). Optics is everything.

Why is PCTi fault? Is Ian fault, he was inmature, just dealt with it and stop making excuses.

No one asterix's Jason K's 2013 world's win even though he got away with a double energy attachment in top 8.

I feel like it is Ians fault not TPCI.... they were forced to make a decision that alters the tournament because of his actions. Even if he is sorry he needs to take accountability.

They should have first and foremost preserved the integrity of the event by penalising the competitor in top 4. You cannot rewrite history like they did it just doesn't work. Now everyone suffers because of one person's mistake.

Doesnt change the fact the the winner lost to the dude that did the Roll the Dice gesture

The 230 on thorns opposed to 220 made all the difference in both top 4 and finals

If it had been the Iron Thorns deck with the non-America or EU player on the other side of top 4 and there was any discussion about giving it a bye to finals, people would be absolutely screeching.

Apparently Grant never jerks off huh😅 Ian admitted it's a bm

For what it’s worth, the Shuffle Squad posted a video on the Iron Thorns deck and recognized Ian’s immature behavior in the comments as responses to at least a few people who asked. Grant, you’re an adult. You know that hand gesture combined with that face is not “dice rolling” or fist pumping or whatever else people are trying to say as a cover. It’s a jerking off motion, something that TPCI definitely does not want associated with their game. Ian made a stupid choice on camera at worlds and was punished. There is no need to try and spin the story a certain way when even his own team is recognizing that what he did was wrong.

He lost 2-0. Asterisk

all comments are like 😭😭😭😭

Me as a pokemon player: yay! Worlds in california Me as a californian: oh no...

Grant, they're called Scalptators. Best fusion of the two words.

You wanted to know how we had to explain it to kids. My son asked me what happened. I told him the truth,"You know how at school you would get in trouble for using language or hand gestures that your mom uses when she is angry?", "Ya." "That's what happened with Ian." "Oooo that makes sense."
