Congrats to the winners of the 2023 Smog Awards!
VGC '12 Northwest Regional - Salem, OR - WON BY Branflakes
- Thread starter Firestorm
- Start date
I hate life - request for time off work got denied.
Well it looks like I may not be able to go. Darn, I was REALLY looking forward to this specific Regional. I hear the Pokemon community over there is pretty large in numbers. Looks like I'll have to wait for the Vancouver one.
Say, does anyone have an approximate time estimate on how long it takes to get to Salem, from Vancouver?

Congrats Branflakes!
Here is a small article about the event. There are several pictures from it. I'm featured twice at the end of it. Capri also has some in it as well.

17th of 72 represent; notable opponents include:
LouisCyphre, an awesome Smogonite, beat him Round 1;
Branflakes Round 3; sorry about sucking Turn 1, or that battle might've actually been a challenge for you .-.
Dragonking700 Round 4; again, my apologies for playing horribly. Note to self: Do not be afraid to predict in person!
Wolt, Round 5: Kind of a pity that you double-targeted Conk T1; might've been a lot closer if not for that. I'll put up the battle video (I have it on hand) shortly.
And I'm p. sure that my Round 7 opponent was of some importance, but I can't for the life of me recall who it was. gdi Rain being so damn vulnerable to TR .-.
Also, posting team in case anyone's curious (and because I'm retiring it if I get the money to go to Nats anyhow)
Video coming as soon as I figure out how to work this goddamn machine.
