This is a fair bit longer than my other videos - But I really enjoyed making it, so I seriously hope you enjoy and I'd really appreciate you showing it some love!!
yo man rlly cool seeing that you went to my home country!!
I really loved travelling there and I'll hopefully be back for the next LAIC too!!!! Also I genuinely appreciate the support mate 🙏
I hope I see u at euic
@ For sure - if you see me just come say hi!!
@@timdanklin it'll be my first ic I hope I do well top 32 is the goal better would be amazing🙏
this is kinda like when i got 2nd at a local
Yeah it's roughly the same payout too!
Great video man!
I worked as a Judge in LAIC and with everything we had to do during the three days I couldnt enjoy the tournament properly, but it was really nice hearing your persepective on the tournament and experience here in Brazil. Congrats on top 32!
Cheers mate!! That's sick to hear, really appreciate the effort you, and all the other judges and staff, put into the event
I'd heard a few negative things about LAIC in the past, but this was my first time going and I gotta say it was a seriously incredible event - hopefully I'll be back again this year!!
You can just feel the effort you put into all your videos. 32nd at an IC is incredible, and I'll be cheering for you at London too! Looking forward for more quality content from you!
Thankyou so much!!! I definitely tried to put more effort into this one - but even now looking back on it I know I can keep doing better - always trying to improve the videos 💪 I Seriously appreciate your support and I'm gonna try do my absolute best in London 🫡
@@tonyfata5151 I'll also be there but ok:(
Played all of day2 almost next to you, hoping to play against mustache man but it didn’t happen, even finishing right next in standing, maybe next time!, congrats on t32, and good luck in EUIC 👏🏻
That's so sick!!! You played Dragapult right?? Appreciate it mate - will you be at EUIC as well?? 👀
Great video I always thought it was a shame there was no competitive tcg player that put tons of effort into editing and I'm glad that it looks like you're filling that role.
I always thought the exact same thing!!! Feels like every other competitive game has at least one high effort content creator - so I decided to be the change 👀
I watch a lot of top end players TH-cam videos, azull, LDF, FTW TCG, etc. but you’re videos have the best vibe. Hope you blow up soon, you are vastly underrated
This is exactly what I wanna hear 😍 I'm really trying to put in the effort to raise the bar for Pokemon TCG content - I'm still relatively new but things have been going well so far 👨🍳
This was great, thanks for the vid really interesting, great that you break down the games learning a lot!
Really glad that I was able to keep it digestible and you could learn from it!!
I WAS JUST WATCHING SOME OF YOUR VIDEOS, NEED TO SAY, NICE MOUSTACHE 🗣️🔥🔥
Watching my videos AND complimenting the moustache - you're truely the goat 🐐🐐🐐
A great video and recap, sorry to hear you had some rough matches but the 300iq plays were insane on your behalf
Thanks mate!! Like I said, you can't only win when you're lucky, sometimes you just need to big brain your way through the rough luck 🧠
Awesome video! EUIC is gonna be my first championship event, and fate has basically guided me to using Klawf Terapagos! Hopefully it goes as well as yours (in comparison to my skill level I mean)
That's great to hear!!! Best of luck at EUIC 🫡
@@timdanklin thank you! Hopefully j don't run into Jon Eng round 1 lol
No shout out for your girl Freya being the one who actually saw the tweet and showed it to production backstage, I see how it is 😭
In all seriousness, huge congrats on the run! I'm sure the big win will come before long with the way you apply yourself to the game
Omg I should have dropped the shoutout though, you're actually the goat for that and I 100% owe you a drink!
The big IC win is coming sooner than you think - EUIC is gonna be a freebie
@@timdanklin Mega appreciate it
Saw you at my locals on Tuesday! Didn’t get to say hi but was super cool to see you
That's sick, always love to have a local watching the videos!! Make sure you come say hi next time though 🫡
Meeting the dankman himself was so cool. Hoping to see you at EUIC!
I'll see you there Roaring Mate 🌝
Loved this vid!! Congrats on the great showing legend, and looking forward seeing you hit Championship Sunday for EUIC!!
Cheers 🐐🙏 And I managed to do it all without losing my phone 😉 Don't worry I'll be up on the Sunday stream for sure!!
Well done Tim! The video is incredible and the run even more
Thanks mate, love to hear it!!
I really like that tetrapogos list and I wished that it was all G and Hs
Yeah it's become one of my favourite decks of all time, but it's really not the same without double turbo energy - I'm gonna miss it 🫡
love your channel dude, the pokemon tcg is getting the attention and care it deserves
Appreciate it!!! I'm really trying to raise the bar for the Pokemon TCG content
@ ur doing a great job, been playing (nearly obsessed with) the tcg for the past couple years i really want to make content and be as good of a player as you are
Tim I thought you were a meme channel not an actual player.... congrats! 😂
My picture is me winning a regional 😭😭😭 Thanks though mate, you can play memes and win too if you're cracked enough 👀
Loved the video. Seeing all these spicy comebacks is super cool and something I’m trying to work on. 👍
Glad you enjoyed!!! So many of these games were insanely tight and it can be so tough to find those 1% lines that give you a chance
Love your videos bro, ur like the wolfey of the tcg
Highest level of compliment right there 🙏🙏
22:07 so hype. Love a comeback
A few of my mates were watching this one and popped off when he whiffed the final draw - This was definitely the most insane comeback that I made... On day 1...
Such a fun video to watch before going to Merida regionals!
Hope it really hypes you up for a great run - best of luck there!! 🫡
Incredible that you were able to do all this with so little sleep, I can barely piece together a win even after sleeping 7 hours
I just gotta nerf myself by not sleeping, it's like playing the game on hard mode 👽
Awesome video!! Can’t wait for the next one :)
I've been trying to focus more on getting more content out there so hopefully you won't be waiting long 👀
@ love it :) GL at EUIC!
more peak ptcg content from the most handsome competitor 🗣️
Gonna keep making more content, better content, and growing out the stache
Bro cooked so we all could eat.
Cooking for the masses, gotta feed all my TimDanklin Emjoyers 🙏👨🍳
this is like when i won a silver tempest pre-release and $20 of store credit, we share this win together Tim!
Very similar vibes and payout!! OUR win 🤝

12 minutes in, and already loving this video!
Appreciate it mate!! And you've still got another 23 more to go, how sick 😎
We will be here for the euic champion run break down next month 💯
Let's hope it's another banger tournament 🫡🫡
Banger vid
This was more effort than usual so really appreciating the love!!
Nice job man! And awesome vídeo, do you already know what are u goma play after rotation?
Appreciate it!!! I actually haven't thought about post rotation too much yet - gotta focus on winning EUIC first 👀
@@timdanklinmakes sense, gotta keep the eyes on the prize
haha no way i saw you at a weekly the other day then i randomly see your face in my recommended
That's sick that TH-cam is spreading this to my locals!! come say hi next time 👋
Best tournament report I’ve seen!
Thanks mate, means a lot to hear that!!!!
My guy has wolfe tcg energy
Incredibly high praise right there 🙏
This video is extra dank
This video is basically 2-3x the usual dose of Danklin 🫡
What are your thoughts on using double sleeves for big tournaments?
They're a bit too thick to shuffle nicely in my opinion, but if your deck is completely max rarity maybe you can consider them
I played at Texas and got deckcĥecked 2 times lol
Sounds like you were at the top tables then!! Hope you passed those deck checks 👀
Hey mate great video hope to see you at ozzie on thursday
Appreciate it mate!! Not sure if I can make Thursday, but hopefully I'll catch you at a local soon!!
BRAZIL MENTIONED
🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷
OMG i had no idea u went
Yeah!!! I'll hopefully be making it to all the Internationals this year 😎
@@timdanklin hoping to get to NAIC on VGC TA gl man
Hey! I play this list at tournaments a bunch, and i was wondering if you had any tips for the lugia matchup, since it's not one i've been able to really get around. if you have any advice i'd appreciate it!
Against Lugia, if you can't immediately target their lone V, you should aim for double bouffalant and to target their rats - but unfortunately this deck takes a bit of a hit from both Regigigas and Budew 😭
Ws in the chat
Enormous W 🫡
Some believe Tim doesn't have an upper lip.
Some say I grew the moustache to hide that I don't have one, others say the moustache simply consumed it...
Where is Play pokemon Spandex???
That's what I'm saying!!! Need more of that kind of merch
I’m getting back into Pokemon tcg tournaments and I’m trying to decide if I should wait till rotation so lugia and regi rotates out or if I should just join back into it now, what do you think? Also great video man I love watching your videos.
Invest in a deck like raging bolt that survives rotation and start playing now.
Regi should be not that much of a problem right now. I'd advice to play some games on TCG Live to see if this meta is suiting you, and if you have fun with one or more decks, just play it. If you don't want to burn too much money, I'd advice to not play certain decks as Lost Zone or Lugia, because they will lose too much of their main engines to be playable after in two months. But most decks keep enough of their engines to be playable after rotation. (Maybe not Top-Tier anymore, but still play-able and get some wins)
So, overall: Just play and have fun! :D
Thanks, I really appreciate it!! I'm always an advocate for just getting straight back into it sooner rather than later - most decks are really cheap and there are a fair few really good choices that survive rotation, like Dragapult and Raging Bolt
@ okay thank you so much, I’ve seen you talk about terapagos a lot and it seems like it could be fun too, do you think that deck might be able to survive rotation too or would it have to rely on glass trumpet too much?
nice video, just get a little further from the camera next time lmao
Thanks for the feedback! The setup is a bit tough, but I can always try shrinking the video a little
very well edited and scripted
Thanks mate!! Put a lot more time into this one so glad it paid off 🫡
