This production quality is actually insane, subscribed and hoping to see more!

[@jamesctcg]

Thank you!

[@sahil-p]

This is such a good video, so cool to see the games emulated, seems similar to WolfeVGC's emulation of his tournament

[@jamesctcg]

:)

[@RahulReddy]

Super well edited and produced, enjoyed watching this thoroughly

[@LemonLvlBS]

As someone who watches a lot of sports, I loved the “in and out” terms used when testing decks with your friends. It make more sense to me, like how a trade would go down in sports being “in and out”.

[@ragipalbo7777]

Great effort on this one. Enjoyable watch.

[@olllyy]

Really good vid, gameplay footage was great. Just hearing your thoughts and seeing your prep was insightful. Editing the gameplay over your commentary must have taken ages. Thanks for working as hard as you have to get this video finished.

[@jamesctcg]

:) glad you noticed

[@justinas1237]

love these style of high quality vids, keep up the good work

[@Lord_Agwen]

Super entertaining and great production value!! Keep this up and I could definitely see you becoming the go-to Pokémon TCG TH-camr for many ppl!

[@maxgg7290]

The ‘’gameplay’’ is very orignial, nice

[@rodrigocoltro]

increable, James! Please, more videos!

[@danielwells5895]

I like how u explained Play by play and y and showed the cards. This is my first yr with TCG

[@kayrie93]

Nice meeting you at the wcs bro ! Great video as always

[@Alloutblitzle]

Sick video! The "gameplay" is fun and unique!

[@Fanciduck]

I'm tracking uuuu😈😈😈😈

[@Alloutblitzle]

☹

[@Dough8v]

what a great video man, definitely learning a lot from you!

[@Lunco]

didn't realize how important time management is in pokemon tourneys. kinda shocked rounds are only 50 minutes.

[@jamesctcg]

Yeah it’s massive

[@TwilightChomperEnthusiast]

This is a great video! The explanation, gameplay and card showings are excellent! Take my sub :)

[@jamesctcg]

:)

[@DKong1026]

Awesome video, awesome editing! Honestly how did you even do this, did you take notes after each game to remember all of the details of your games? I can't imagine being able to keep all of that in my head after 9 rounds lol.

[@jamesctcg]

Yeah took notes after each round

[@luckyboy_tcg]

Bro you'll become a real TH-camr eventually with all this update in quality, it looks really nice🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

[@jamesctcg]

Thank you!

[@Sayumi820]

How many times do we have to keep reminding: this is not the biggest Pokemon card tournament. The biggest tournaments, Champions Leagues in Japan, are over 3000 players.

[@repvv]

Awesome deck, glad to see that mew wasn’t so dominant in this event.

[@TCGfornoobs]

got top 4 in london worlds in seniors, have hoping to see u doing better everytournament after!!

[@huntingwolf5998]

As somone trying to improve their game in oceania, its really helpful content thnx so much!

[@Czimizu]

"The biggest Pokemon Card tournament ever" Japan, who has had more than 10 events larger than NAIC "Am I a joke to you?"

[@havibav1342]

i love the editing!

[@andersballe16]

Fantastic video!

[@Fanciduck]

Bro got the mr beast thumbnail 💀💀

[@ThiagoBisewski]

Awesome vid! How did you do to recall every single round of every game?

[@jamesctcg]

i wrote notes after my rounds at the tournament

[@Batsquid93]

Great vid!
How did you record the actual matches?

[@jamesctcg]

just took notes at the tournament then re-recorded them after

[@SteeleLeague]

I was there because it was local to me. Do many people travel all over like you do for tournaments?

[@jamesctcg]

Yeah a few do, you can check on pokedata.ovh for every tournament how much of each nationality was there

[@ryangTCG]

Great video. Made this morning’s shit a 10/10 dump

[@jamesctcg]

glad I could help LOL

[@kaiserflame1673]

What deck would you recommend for maximum consistency and day 2 chances? Like not too hard deck, straightforward gameplan, with the goal of getting to day 2?

[@jamesctcg]

Lugia and miraidon are really good right now and are pretty straightforward :)

[@morningTCG]

Bro this is sick content

[@AmpharosPTCG]

I might be going crazy but are you allowed to see what you have prized now? you looked at that manaphy in prize right at the beginning of the round??

[@jamesctcg]

it was just a visual recreation, should've made that more clear

[@amo4_cuatro]

🇵🇷 PR in the house 🙌🏻

[@Ransu028]

Great video!
Do you think Gardy is not an option anymore in the new meta? I just picked it up and have struggled with all the charizard EXs

[@jamesctcg]

Yeah the zard ex matchup is scary but winnable for sure. Having one unfavourable matchup is for sure not a reason for a deck to be unplayable so I think gardy will still be good

[@Ransu028]

@@jamesctcg agreed thanks James 😎

[@derekjeter3654]

Why are you not streaming

[@jamesctcg]

Making videos like this :/

[@Brenbolone]

Phenomenal video
