Have you tried Inner Focus - mental herb - Orangaru with instruct? Your team has several spread moves. Try Instruct , trick room, encore and an attacking move of choice like psychic. 212 HP - 116 Defence - 180 sp.atk. Psychic is enough to guarantee OHKO on an Urshifu with 60 or less HP EVs and Urshifus SP.DEF is very poor and it cannot 1 shot Orangaru even if it's adamant and choice banded....
he's probably the most well rounded player, a top player in both smogon and VGC. Bro has forgotten more about Pokemon than most people probably remember
huge props to the dude but honestly if we’re talking about well rounded i think sejun park is the most. vgc world champ and has gotten worlds invites for tcg, unite, go, and i think pokken (not sure about the last one)
Getting to worlds in your first year is probably something very few VGC players get to experience. These videos have been very enjoyable to watch and i love your channel! Even if you don't compete in VGC next year, i will be looking forward to seeing more from you in the future!
Amazing feat, but lets not pretend he is some average bum who started playing pokemon a couple years ago. Reality is top single players are just better overall than VGC players, and his journey is an example of that.
Not to be a hater or such but dude had tons of experience with competitive pokemon before hopping into VGC so it's not like some dude who's only ever played gens 1-3 hopping into VGC
@GrayVMhan it's a lot different playing at an event vs playing on your computer at home. Although I do see your point, imo it doesn't subtract from his accomplishment whatsoever.
?? How could you have watched this video 33 times that would be more than 10 hours and the time this video has been out rn is less than 20 minutes People really come on the internet to lie 😐
GGs. It's oddly poetic in a way that Michael, who frequently features in the background of your Smogon videos (such as the highest rated player on ranbats or the freedom cup...), is the player you had the most nailbiting series against and then went on to place 2nd. Your performance this year was great. No matter what's next and what you decide to pursue, good luck & thanks for all the content along the way!!
Tbh its a big commitment so i understand being undecided about next year. But i hope you come back next year man, win or lose the events are always a blast.
Aside from how amazing it's to get so far in your first VGC year, the editing in this video is fire. The custom design floating around the ingame models was really creative.
So proud of you, and thank you so much for sharing your hard work with us! These videos have been great to watch and are extremely entertaining as well as informative. You are a winner in our eyes
This video series has been a highlight of my TH-cam experience this year. Thank you so much for sharing your journey! I know that committing to another year of vgc is daunting but this has been a real joy for your fans to see you claw and fight your way up the ladder. Thanks for everything!
The editing on this video was absolutely top tier. Much love to a man who inspires and motivates others every day, and is already a champion in the eyes of every one of his viewers
Well done, man. Even if you didn't get as far as you wanted, it was a hell of a season. I had fun following every step of the way, and I honestly have not looked forward this much to a video in a long, long time.
I prefer Smogon singles over VGC, but this series was amazing and this is the most interested I've ever been in the official format thanks to you, your flawless explanations, your cool strategies, your impressive skill, and your great narration. Thank you very much and congratulations !!
That’s an amazing win set for your first year! Rain just happened to be your nemesis, but every team has a weakness. Abomasnow was such a cool pick and I liked seeing a trick room team in action!
Mad respect to you man. You set out to accomplish an immensely challenging goal and I think you more than succeeded. Whatever you decide to do I’m sure will go fantastic
You did really really good for your first tournament! You are very skilled, and I hope you give VGC a try again when you have the time and money to do so. I'd be willing to watch more!
You (almost) conquered Pokemon doubles in only one year! Congrats on making it, and it's impressive how quickly you can adapt quickly to a new meta game with completely different mechanics. What format are you going to conquer next year? Yu-Gi-Oh?
Congrats on making it to worlds your first time ever competing, thats actually amazing. I also love the creativity in the team, it's nice to see fresh new strats
These videos have been super fun. Even if this is the end of VGC, as long as you're competing I'd be interested in this style of video for any tournaments you're a part of.
You should be proud of your performance this season, what a great showing as a first timer. Loved the VGC content and would love to see more of it in the future.
Great run and really well played, hope to see you competitive more and making videos out of them (Also hearing that Ally Switch is a move that does do much stroke me in the soul)
Qualifying for worlds the same year you start out VGC is very impressive, in my opinion. It's also very cool that he put his own spin on the team with a completely unconventional Pokemon in Abomasnow.
I hope this isn't the end of your vgc. Your Pokémon videos are my absolute favorite to watch. I'm real bummed you didn't make it to day 2, but I'm willing to bet a whole lot you'll make it next year
Your journey was incredibly admirable to watch, and I respect the commitment to it a lot. It was incredibly enjoyable to watch more Smogon vets play VGC. I'm sure you knew this a long time ago, but... it's a very different ball game, just with the same pieces, and I'm glad it was such an enjoyable ride. Cheers to a great season!!
I absolutely love the team you came up with! The fact you even made it to the biggest tournament in the world should also say a lot even if you didn't make it to the end. It was a lot of fun seeing you dip your toes into VGC!
Freezai, you did incredible for someone who's just begun VGC (well, incredible in general). I've really appreciated all of your content. I was rooting for you at Worlds. Abomasnow has always been among my favorite Pokemon, so I thought it was an incredible team.
Hope to see you again at another regional some day man! Loved watching this journey of yours both on youtube and in person. Either way keep up the good content!
❤❤❤❤ amazing videos man! Thanks so much for letting us keep up with you during it. I loved watching. Congratulations on your success. Maybe you can make it even further in the future! Don't give up!
You did an amazing job for your first year in VGC and every one of your videos about it are super entertaining. No matter what you choose ill be watching
Huge congrats, dude! The fact that you as a singles player with little VGC experience made it to the literal top VGC event of the entire year featuring only the best global players is incredible!
I’d love to see you compete next year aswell. This whole series over the last year was what brought me back to vgc after a long while. I’ll support you either way of course and it’s totally understandable if you choose not to, I just wanted to mention how much I loved the content :)
Hello, congrats on the video! Awesome editing, explanation and gameplay. Sad that you could't get to day 2. Also the video ended a bit abruptly, did kinda catch me off guard, lol. Keep up the good work!
Kudos man, for doing so well in your first VGC tournament! I am sure everyone looks forward to your VGC games now, and I love this post commentary style video
This series was so inspiring! And the editing was fantastic. 😄 Worlds sounds like a great experience, getting to battle people in all different countries. It's kind of beautiful, seeing everyone come together. But wow does it look hard to get all the points. 😱 Great job qualifying! And it's so interesting seeing how Smogon players strategize. I think your skills carried over well, even though the format was extremely different from my perspective. It looked like a matter of redefining team synergies or something.
Man i loved this series. And I normally hate VGC 😂. But every episode I learned a ton and got more invested, specifically bc of how you explain metas and decision making. Crossing my fingers that you play again next season!

That Urshifu walking against the wall in the beginning sure tells alot about our current Pokemon society.
2:40 so does ursaluna
And yet we live in it
That’s how I establish dominance
18:50 As a wise man would say, if you don't wanna miss Hydro Pump, use Bubble.
If you wanna take risks and then be salty, use Hydro Pump.
If you want to make your opponent's Pokemon salty instead, just use Brine 🧂🌊
This comment section is so soaked in puns, it turned into a water type.
Please report the bot 😮💨
first i made this team very pog
Nice work man 👍🏾
Hey props to putting up a good fight in Round 3 vs the runner up of the entire tourney
Ends up getting invited to the pokemon world championship, and finishes day 1 with more wins than losses. That's only technically defeat imo.
Thats a whole ass defeat
Michael is basically the final boss of this channel at this point. Can't stop running into him
True :D
Damn Freezai and Wolfe lost day 1. The level of play must be so high at worlds no mistakes
the abomasnow pick was super creative and surprisingly effective, keep it up, cant wait to see how you do next year!
Thanks for the spoiler
how’s that a spoiler at all
it was a high risk high reward. but we saw that it was the main reason for him losing his 3 games as it was dead weight against meta teams

Very cool to see abomasnow put in work for you. Was awesome to see your journey throughout the year.

i have to sit up straight in my chair when i match against him in randbats lol

@@AT-qu2bz I don't see how. A VGC player could go do pretty well in a singles tournament
@@AT-qu2bzthe two games are very different. Dont be the type of person to compare the 2

Dude went 4-3 in one year of starting vgc. Massive respect. Best of luck for the coming years
Took me 3 years to qualify in tcg and I missed this year.
Making it year 1 is an amazing feat
Not to be a hater or such but dude had tons of experience with competitive pokemon before hopping into VGC so it's not like some dude who's only ever played gens 1-3 hopping into VGC

also, love the trust in abomasmow, we love abomasnow in this house
At last! 11:08 Denmark is no more!
After watching this video 33 times, this is a certified Freezai classic.
Dang, you were fast !
yo, it’s a time warper able to watch it so fast

I was rlly hoping the name of this video would be “I won the Pokémon world championship in Japan.” Gratz tho man.
It's so cool to see you do so well your first year of vgc! Huge congrats and cant wait to see more in the future
That’s an amazing win set for your first year! Rain just happened to be your nemesis, but every team has a weakness. Abomasnow was such a cool pick and I liked seeing a trick room team in action!

Hey great job Freezai! Getting into the worlds and beating 4 players on year one is a great accomplishment
You did really really good for your first tournament! You are very skilled, and I hope you give VGC a try again when you have the time and money to do so. I'd be willing to watch more!
Awesome... You really did it well. Thank you for share the process with all us.
I've been waiting for this videoooo!!!!!
Loved watching this journey with you. Love all your videos
It was so exciting to follow along your VGC journey! Whatever you decide to do in the future, I wish you all the best.
Loves this series
You (almost) conquered Pokemon doubles in only one year! Congrats on making it, and it's impressive how quickly you can adapt quickly to a new meta game with completely different mechanics. What format are you going to conquer next year? Yu-Gi-Oh?
Congrats on making it to worlds your first time ever competing, thats actually amazing. I also love the creativity in the team, it's nice to see fresh new strats
Imagine in like, 4 years we have the pokemon world Championships finals of the century Wolfe Glick vs Freezai, what a crossover.
This was a great series of videos. Really enjoyed following your journey :)
that was a cool team! and it was fun watching your journey leading up to yokohama, thanks for doing this series!
These videos have been super fun. Even if this is the end of VGC, as long as you're competing I'd be interested in this style of video for any tournaments you're a part of.
THANKS FOR THE VIDEO. Loved hearing abt your tournament run and I hope you compete next year! Love watching your videos!
Congrats on a successful debut season!
2:23 That Iron Hands charging towards the screen legit made me jump lmao
I loved this video! Very engaging, with helpful editing :)
Happy you got to have this experience! Whether you commit to it again or not im glad you could follow your passion so far.
You should be proud of your performance this season, what a great showing as a first timer. Loved the VGC content and would love to see more of it in the future.
That's really cool that you even competed, and you made it realllly far. I think you would do better next year
Great run and really well played, hope to see you competitive more and making videos out of them (Also hearing that Ally Switch is a move that does do much stroke me in the soul)
Qualifying for worlds the same year you start out VGC is very impressive, in my opinion. It's also very cool that he put his own spin on the team with a completely unconventional Pokemon in Abomasnow.

Awesome achievement getting to worlds. Congrats! and continue with the uploads. I'll watch no matter what.
Sheeesh the video production here is cleaaaan
You went for it man, that’s pretty amazing, keep grinding all your efforts are leading you in the right direction!
Never thought I’d see the day that I’d hear “Grass-Ice is a good type combo”
Very impressive run. This has been a very fun journey to keep up with.
I absolutely love the team you came up with! The fact you even made it to the biggest tournament in the world should also say a lot even if you didn't make it to the end. It was a lot of fun seeing you dip your toes into VGC!
It was wild watching blisy's video building your team for this, i hope TPC helps make building ideal teams in the future less of a struggle.
Freezai, you did incredible for someone who's just begun VGC (well, incredible in general). I've really appreciated all of your content. I was rooting for you at Worlds. Abomasnow has always been among my favorite Pokemon, so I thought it was an incredible team.
Hope to see you again at another regional some day man! Loved watching this journey of yours both on youtube and in person. Either way keep up the good content!

❤❤❤❤ amazing videos man! Thanks so much for letting us keep up with you during it. I loved watching. Congratulations on your success. Maybe you can make it even further in the future! Don't give up!
It’s so insane to see how far you’ve come with the channel.
You did an amazing job for your first year in VGC and every one of your videos about it are super entertaining. No matter what you choose ill be watching

What an incredible year of pokemon from you
Freezai, I fkn love you man. Thanks for everything that you do. You're honestly the best content creator ever IMO.
"i hate losing more than i like winning". i felt that
I loved watching your vgc videos, here’s hoping that the saga continues
Hello, congrats on the video! Awesome editing, explanation and gameplay. Sad that you could't get to day 2.
Also the video ended a bit abruptly, did kinda catch me off guard, lol.
Keep up the good work!
i mean being 4-3 to your First world competition is still a pretty good result
congratulazion
Congrats on your performance!
Cool video, good showing for a 1st year VGC.
Good job Freezai. You fought incredibly for your debut year
You made it to the world championships, that by itself is quite the achievement
I was rooting for you, sad that you lost but at least you made it to worlds!
You did awesome!
I do think trick room was a bit bold due to everyone having a counter for it.
Anyways gg, was enjoyable to watch
Congrats on your first vgc championship tournament
Kudos man, for doing so well in your first VGC tournament!
I am sure everyone looks forward to your VGC games now, and I love this post commentary style video
This series was so inspiring! And the editing was fantastic. 😄 Worlds sounds like a great experience, getting to battle people in all different countries. It's kind of beautiful, seeing everyone come together. But wow does it look hard to get all the points. 😱 Great job qualifying!
And it's so interesting seeing how Smogon players strategize. I think your skills carried over well, even though the format was extremely different from my perspective. It looked like a matter of redefining team synergies or something.
I don't know why, but after reading the title my brain auto completed with "so you don't have to".
lmao,funny shit fr
Congratulations for making it this far, even if it doesn't feel good to almost get to the next round. With time, you'll appreciate the result more. :)
The journey to worlds in your first year was an amazing one to watch. You still did amazing.
Great work
Congrats Freezai!
great video!
At this rate, he's gonna win next year
Watched im a blisy's video on this team. Very nice team comp, love the choices and reasoning behind them
Good try! Good luck next year man! You inspired me to give competitive a time next year!
I love the in-game footage haha
You may have lost, but you still made it to worlds in your first year! That's probably amazing idk I never have competed. Love the content!
Man i loved this series. And I normally hate VGC 😂. But every episode I learned a ton and got more invested, specifically bc of how you explain metas and decision making. Crossing my fingers that you play again next season!
