So Jack, Cameron, Loc, someone from that group is making cut this weekend right? We know how these goes by now! :D
That's the hope!
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.
Nah man, mind over matter. 💪
These guys are definitely trolling 😂 control is the play for Baltimore. How does Drago get through 5 Mimikyu?
If that's what you're bringing good luck!
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.
Haha, pretty sure he hasn't touched the next format yet with Baltimore on the horizon
First!
Appreciate it 💜
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! 😂
Everyone should be biased towards Justin, truly an invaluable community member
I really like episodes like this! Thank you!
Appreciate the kind words! These episodes always get less listens so the positive feedback motivates me to do them instead of just chase the views 🙏
Holy hell Justin is a person? I thought basil was a plant(?)
Evolution is a hell of a thing, lemme tell you.
Was great hearing such a great resource in the community on the pod
Also SUM-LOT Love :)
Was one of those episodes I know will lack in terms of numbers, but was a needed one
@@MellowMagikarp Just know that despite the numbers, there are some of us out there who care about more than which 1 card tech in Regidrago will take 33rd place at the next event. Love the community support!
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...😋
Oh I'll write those down
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
It feels like proof that play really is so incredibly important compared to a "perfect" list
The absolute GOAT of our community!!!
First player from mesa in worlds cut?
Yup! He had the previous high of a top 16 (or 32?) in Yokohama
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
You should try pizza with ketchup, afula Israeli delicacy
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 🇮🇱
Israel is alive 🔥
Not for long
Weird @@duoriep

I loved the shakshuka talk, definitely try some Kevin, it's very easy to make and soooo tasty!
It definitely got me interested, sounds great haha
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 🤷🏻♂️
Rolling dice in the shower
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.”
Yeah he is kinda that way for most things
maybe. but am i wrong on the things in this episode?
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
we can dream
Mellow using his teacher or speaking from a point of authority voice a lot this episode. Hope everything's alright, seem pretty upset
Summer break is almost over and I have to practice 😝
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.
I’m not saying Ian wasn’t deserving of punishment, because he was, but purely the game, Fernando lost.
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
This podcast loves Sacksack17
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.
obviously it is clearly ian's fault, no one can argue that it's not. for the record, we recorded this before he admitted the action, but regardless we acknowledge that whether it was or not. but as far as our discussion on the pod, we're talking about how it was handled, which was poorly done, and that is at the tpci level
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.
No one "suffers" lmao I'm sure had Jesse won top 4 no US person would be complaining
@@Serpens007 I am not American. You are completely missing the point. TPC rewrote history and therefore anything that happened in the top 4 is invalid. Whatever penalty was determined warranted had to be applied in top 4, end of story. However, that was not done so the tournament is invalid.
@@adtube666 no it isn't. A handful of people are relitigating this, everybody else recognizes that the players fought hard and Fernando won. No one is suffering.
@@Serpens007 strawman arguments aside, show me the rule in the official rule book that says a match can be retrospectively overturned due to an event that took place after the match that has nothing to do with gameplay. I am not saying players didn't work hard or whatever other irrelevant arguments you may have, the integrity of the tournament was compromised and that is that.
@@adtube666 lol no it wasnt compromised. You are literally trying to erase what the players did in Top 4 and Finals. The gesture happened as the match ended and before the signing, so yeah, it is a match loss during that round. And, even then, the judges made that decision, not the players. You can relitigate all you want, but that is a fact, and the players adhered to that ruling. Fernando won, as valid as any other world championship win.
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
Why? Zapdos exists.
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.
appreciate the comment. i'd like to clarify that we recorded this before the shuffle squad video or mahome's stream
He lost 2-0. Asterisk
all comments are like 😭😭😭😭
Me as a pokemon player: yay! Worlds in california Me as a californian: oh no...
Also, PLEASE AVOID SAN FRANCISCO AT ALL COSTS! It is currently a hot mess with homelessness all over the city, nothing is open for business, and thieves run like they own the place. Seriously, people leave their trunks open to show thieves that their car has nothing to steal so they can save their car from broken windows.
you can understand my frustration
Grant, they're called Scalptators. Best fusion of the two words.
i'm stealing this
@boo_ck8031 I demand credit, At least... since I'll never be a guest
@@st00ben fair. and never say never
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."
That's a nice simple way to do it
