1:21:27 Ken/Dracovish Played my team so well despite not being able to practice it much, he used it for one of the GC's so he got to see how the team works during then, but alot of people struggle to play the sylveon swamp team so i'm surprised how quickly he got it. He got haxxed a few times during some of the rounds, maybe he couldve top cutted, but overall bro played so well and did crazy with it
Jack's a good friend of mine and been a ladder warrior for a long time, pretty consistently in the top 30 online rankings but due to a busy work/college life has never participated in IRL events, he's also pretty consistently in top rankings in the showdown bo3 ladder so I'm convinced when he goes to a any regional he will do quite well
I agree with Adi's idea about a tournament to qualify. At least for the majority of the slots. I can see the argument for leaving a few slots open just because life gets in the way and you cant always compete in tournaments. I also personally think that these international events should have a regional bias. EUIC players should get first crack at THEIR international, just like NAIC should get first crack at THEIR international. Maybe my viewpoint is wrong, but I think shifting the supply towards local demand would be a good thing. Finally, for regionals especially, they should set aside a few slots to allow people in the city who may not know much about VGC but see an ad and think "I like pokemon. I want to try." Maybe this isn't a popular opinion either, but it is something that I would personally like to see.
Dragonite and Pelliper are the goats of SV tbh. They've been relevant, if not meta-defining, for literally every single reg. And with reg g coming back wide guard pelly and banded tera normal Dnite are back in business
@@Joeybanananasi went back to my banded tera normal espeed dnite in the last 2 GCs and it's been awesome in closed teamsheet lol everybody is now conditioned into thinking intimidate and fake out work on dnite and the inner focus gets them it's so funny

Can we stop this silliness of claiming Dragonite has been any less than A tier in every meta in Gen 9?
