Stuff like this is why I live competitive in both singles and VGC; strategies are being developed all the time, so even when in particular idea seems to not be very good, it does well because people don’t expect it. Then that idea is used more, and a counter meta develops. Then a counter to the counter meta develops, and it keeps going. It keeps the game fresh and always makes sure one concrete strategy won’t destroy everything
Yeah…. It’s a shame then that VGC in recent years decides to completely change the format every two months or so. I too love to see meta development and reaction. But oh well
Loved when Freezai said "It's Freezin' time" and not only hit a blizzard without snow but also freeze the foe. Truly the most Pokemon trainer ever Also random fact, Perth is one of the most isolated cities on Earth.
This man just walked into one of the most prestigious and brutal events in video gaming history, achieved a 64% win rate, and then said "meh, could be better." You gotta give yourself some credit here, Freezai. I love how big your goals are and I support them but you have to congratulate yourself a bit along the way. Phenomenal job!
It's just a regionals my guy. It's most certainly not "one of the most prestigious events in video gaming history", doesn't even touch the top 250, let alone "one of the most".
Making day 2 in any of these tournaments is still an incredible feat, and don't let that bring you down! I started competing in the TCG recently, and so far haven't made a top cut for any of the 3 tournaments I've played. I've gotten very close and know how frustrating it can be to get that far and fall at the very least hurdle, but being able to make top cut against some of the best players in the world is a truly incredible feat. So making doing that in your first two official tournaments is OUTSTANDING. That being said, congrats on the placement, and good luck in your next one!
These videos are so cool! The narrating and scripting is great. I'm totally invested in this journey of yours. Seeing the redemption of you going through a major low and then coming through with confidence is amazing. All you needed to do is remember that you're on a journey to be a pokemon master. And we're just in season one! Keep on doing your best man, this is great content
The crushing defeat of losing on the bubble is something all players of many games experience, and it sucks, but you did really freakin good for your second event bro. That takes most people a far greater time to accomplish, and I hope you can only use that defeat to grow and get better ✌️
Great effort. I watched this one on stream, and I was so excited to see a Lilligant team winning it. My favourite pokemon, but not one I'd ever expected to see do well in competetive.
I know I'm late but good job man. I know that feeling really well. Happened to me this last year with regional for wrestling. Be happy you made it to the second day while probably hundreds were unable to
Congrats! I also went to that tournament, it was my first ever regional. Didn't make the top cut but still had fun nonetheless. Keep up the good content!
Stalls newfound ability to adapt to battlefield where it’s usually considered bad in without stuff like evasion, it makes a man like it at least slightly more. As for my opinion on stall I somewhat like it mainly because it means that Pokémon with immense strength but crippled by their low speed get a chance to shine.
This whole arc is the most anime thing I've ever seen. Comes in strong, shocks everybody at the tournament as this first time VGC player somehow finishes 9-1. Second tournament it comes down to a 1-1 match that determines if you go to day 2 or not. You lose...but your plot armor means you just barely make it to top 32 anyways and thus advance to day 2.
I have genuine respect for Freezai because he is one of the few people in competitive Pokemon that is actually honest about what competing in tournaments is truly like.
Losing the first game and needing to take the next two puts a ton of pressure on you. I know this from my experience trying out best of 3s in the yugioh card game.
I very much know the feeling of being disappointed because you felt you could have done better despite finding success. Just remember that once you're at Worlds, none of your previous results matter. It's about the there and then. Also, once you WIN Worlds, no one is going to care that you 'only' top 32'd at Vancouver.
That is quite the evil sentence (the title). But honestly Canada deserves it. Also shout-out to correctly using the term 'manifest' and not just thinking that means you can meditate on chicken wings and they will appear before you.
I know im really late but i have to ask why no stealth rocks? I know its unheard of in vgc but that means no removal and the counter play to toxic is to switch often. I feel like rocks would break this idea. With redirection and a regen core??? In vgc? Backed by dondozo in the back
Starting everyone at effectively 6:30 am because of the daylight savings switchover is just proof that the tournament organizers hate everyone and it's personal. :D Congrats on at least doing alright. Tournaments are exhausting affairs where your first opponent is limited attention/energy. IMO this is one reason to maybe not play stall; the mental energy and time that takes are precious resources. You did alright though!
Ah, the ups and downs of competitive play. Also, genuine question: Why sensor your name when it's publicly available by just searching the event placements?
I assume there's no possible filming situation for you and your games, right? I'm enjoying the series so far, but man, if only GF made a simple replay saving system!
"I washed my face in the poorly designed Vancouver convention center bathroom" was honestly so funny
casually insulting architecture while documenting something completely different, you love to see it
I know right? I couldn't help but go "the shaaaaade" out loud, haha
I love when Freezai said, "It's Freezing Time", and proceeded to Freeze all his opponents with Ice Beam
Freeze Dry*
Truly one of the moments of all time
Truly a moment
When he said "I blundered" and the opponent replied with "agency agency" I shed a tear.
@@fungalPS Can't believe after that, when he lost, his opponent said "VGC was cool, wanna be added to a GC"
Big Stall™ really is expanding to vgc too, no one is safe now
HOLD THE LINE!
Zorua agrees
You can't escape...
The 20 minute time limit only makes it stronger.
@@maxspecs at least now it's 60 minutes
I expect an evaluation of the bathroom of every tournament you attend from here out. The Yokohama bathroom is probably going to be top tier though.
How good were the Orlando bathrooms actually?

cool fact, I didn't know that
No, perth is not the most isolated city on Earth.
what about Longyearbyen?
Honolulu is the most isolated “big city” in the world, but it depends on your definition of city
@@Jaxck77 One of, one of the most isolated lol

Bro that depends on what your standards are and what you expect from yourself
Winners never feel like they did enough
this isntt even in the top 100 most prestigious events
It's just a regionals my guy. It's most certainly not "one of the most prestigious events in video gaming history", doesn't even touch the top 250, let alone "one of the most".
Really enjoying Freezai's shounen tournament arc.
THANK YOU FOR ARTICULATING MY FEELINGS ABOUT THIS SERIES, that really is it!!!

non-existent babe wake up new freezai video
Good stuff brother, win or lose, We're all supporting you every step of the way!
How did you step your TH-cam game up so much in just a couple years (or less?!)
From randbats to Smogon lore to VGC vlogs, you never disapoint
This is an amazing story. I am so invested. Good luck

GG's to you in Round 8! Best of luck to you moving forward and hopefully I'll see you again at a future event
Dondozo tatsugiri is just very hard to pilot in a long tournament especially when you are trying to stall
excited to see the team build process on this one, it’s a super cool team
Nice battling you in the first round! If you’re going to Portland I’ll be sure to say hi. This time I am going to do better :P
The crushing defeat of losing on the bubble is something all players of many games experience, and it sucks, but you did really freakin good for your second event bro. That takes most people a far greater time to accomplish, and I hope you can only use that defeat to grow and get better ✌️
6:48 Lmao Freezai you have no chill saying that right after those heartfelt comments 🤣🤣 Great vid as always bro
Y'all we gotta support Freezai with our all so he can go into these comps and win for us!
Great effort. I watched this one on stream, and I was so excited to see a Lilligant team winning it. My favourite pokemon, but not one I'd ever expected to see do well in competetive.
My fav is torkoal. Wanna be best friends?
@@hauleez1 Haha, those two definitely made a great team! :)
Love this type of content. Its so interesting to see what happens inside these competitions.
I know I'm late but good job man. I know that feeling really well. Happened to me this last year with regional for wrestling. Be happy you made it to the second day while probably hundreds were unable to
2:01 There I am, Gary, there I am!
That crit on dondozo then tatsugiri miss loss was heartbreaking 😵
been loving your content recently man i hope there’s more of these longer videos soon
Man it's so cool seeing you do VGC and singles content man. Freezai truly built different.
Truly uniting ou and vgc, toxic stall and Dondozo
Congrats! I also went to that tournament, it was my first ever regional. Didn't make the top cut but still had fun nonetheless. Keep up the good content!
God damn, TPC should sponsor the flights for all the players trying to be in the championships. It's a rich kid's eSport.
Already loved your video's. But then you switched to also covering vgc tournaments and they have quickly become my favorites of your content.
great video really loving this series
Smogon loves stall smh
u work so hard u rly deserve this platform. love the hoenn music, pls dont forget lc
i love your vgc content keep it up!!
Happy ides of march! Great video!
Your one of my top 5 favorite pokemon players and I'm totally here for this vgc run!
Stall will always find a way. No. Matter. What
Stalls newfound ability to adapt to battlefield where it’s usually considered bad in without stuff like evasion, it makes a man like it at least slightly more. As for my opinion on stall I somewhat like it mainly because it means that Pokémon with immense strength but crippled by their low speed get a chance to shine.
You went stalling in a tour and you chose VGC to do it that is truly the freezest moment of all time
This whole arc is the most anime thing I've ever seen. Comes in strong, shocks everybody at the tournament as this first time VGC player somehow finishes 9-1. Second tournament it comes down to a 1-1 match that determines if you go to day 2 or not. You lose...but your plot armor means you just barely make it to top 32 anyways and thus advance to day 2.
First two badges down, onto Vermillion!
Is that Overwatch League host Nekkra at 2:40? :O Congrats on your performance though, it's very fun to follow your journey!
She commentated Pokemon before Overwatch
I have genuine respect for Freezai because he is one of the few people in competitive Pokemon that is actually honest about what competing in tournaments is truly like.
"I blundered" AGENCY AGENCY
Knoxville TN? I cant believe my hometown is having official Pokemon Tournaments. Im kinda proud of us for once haha
Yeah we have some pretty terrible washrooms in Vancouver but at least the water’s nice
Remember when freezzai said it's freezing time and then had his opponents team frozen for 20 turns
The singles showdown player: stall is dead, Gamefreak nerfed it into the ground
FreezAI: hold my rock
I really love these VGC story videos.
The title is incredible 😂. Congrats on day 2!
I think that "USING STALL IN VGC" would be a better title.
wake up babe new freezai upload
lets go! new freezai video :]
Absolutely despicable freezai, keep it up
You should tell us which cups you're going to!! Would've totally loved to meet u while u were here
you are the best storyteller ever bro
Dude I love this series
Toxstall is an unexpected choice, but a welcome one.
everyone who made it to top 32 in Vancouver was an absolute beast, yourself included.
oh hey there i am on the left at 2:47 lmao
This is a sick video do more videos like this!
Ah, so now i see why the Regulation C Ladder is full of Dondozo/Glimmora/Wo-Chien teams...
"I Blundered." Hmmm mans throwing shade at the Agency
Loved when Fresno said “It’s Stalling Time,” and stalled all over everyone.
Losing the first game and needing to take the next two puts a ton of pressure on you. I know this from my experience trying out best of 3s in the yugioh card game.
Based Freezai with the best competitive Pokemon
hoenn music is too sick, nice bgm choice
Quality content
Nekkra cameo at 2:44
I don't think I'd win a fist fight with a cow. Those guys are big.
10:58 I wish I knew your name, just so that I know to pay attention to your matches when I'm watching a VGC tournament.
I wish I knee you were there! I was in the magic rooms down the hall
These are my favorite videos on your channel
nice footage of downtown vancouver too
I very much know the feeling of being disappointed because you felt you could have done better despite finding success. Just remember that once you're at Worlds, none of your previous results matter. It's about the there and then. Also, once you WIN Worlds, no one is going to care that you 'only' top 32'd at Vancouver.
playing Stall is the only correct way to play
whats the name of the song that starts at 6:50
10/10 title, that's hilarious
Although you hadn't reached the destination you were aiming for, hopefully your journey was at the very least a happy one. Next time!
That is quite the evil sentence (the title). But honestly Canada deserves it. Also shout-out to correctly using the term 'manifest' and not just thinking that means you can meditate on chicken wings and they will appear before you.

What’s the music by 7:00?
THAT'S OUR GOAT!!!!
So proud.
That's 2 gym badges, king

Congrats on at least doing alright. Tournaments are exhausting affairs where your first opponent is limited attention/energy. IMO this is one reason to maybe not play stall; the mental energy and time that takes are precious resources. You did alright though!
Bro literally calls himself Freezai but never once asked WolfeyVGC where is super suit was and then proceeded to freeze dry the competition.
You were in Vancouver! I wish I knew!
How dare you play "Don't Ever Forget" in the background 😭
"I'll do YOU one better: WHY is Glimmora?!"
Shoulda brought the oinkologne. Left the key to success at home 😂
Yooooooo YOURE ON THE ROAD TO VIRIDIAN CITY
callies team in round 10 looks really fun. are there any more informations about it?
Ah, the ups and downs of competitive play.
Also, genuine question: Why sensor your name when it's publicly available by just searching the event placements?
The peak title game
"Bokum Germany" xD
Ch is hard, I get it
Freezai bringing Smogon strats to VGC oh no
I assume there's no possible filming situation for you and your games, right?
I'm enjoying the series so far, but man, if only GF made a simple replay saving system!
Some kind of recorder… for versus matches. Such technology is far beyond us, unfortunately.
Pretty much... Such advanced 1993 Doom / 2008 Pokemon Platinum technology (depending on who you talk to), way too advanced :(
I went there and didn’t see you! Did you see the person in a latex dress and platforms?
