GGs oceania but it was certainly a mickey mouse set, par for the course in randbats. Gonna speedrun a team thank you post, y'all definitely earned one. It's been an honor playing for the b2b championship team, and even more than that it's been a blast goofing around in chats. After shittalking our team all season, I feel like I have to say something positive to our players for a change.

sunsets you're my world cup brother for life no cap. not really sure why you took so long to get game time for this, but you didn't disappoint.

blundergoth Ngl u had a crazy record, not sure what was going on with u haunter and justin all season cuz there was certainly a whole lotta yap.

Rage ay bruh I'm sorry for your season but you took the GSC bullet for our team that only few are brave to take and we all appreciate it.

Career Ended u tuff as hell bruh, definitely a fun guy to be around and my only problem with you was a slight lack of messages.

Zap lol noob can't believe u lost. surprisingly that was one of your only 2 losses which is pretty tuff, but streets will never forget the krook v groudon incident.

Sapphire wow I almost forgot you cuz dubs is ass no offense. Hope your world tour has been fun, you're definitely one of the stronger slots on our team and we're glad to have you on the team.

TheHorrorHare warrior from the mountains. Might be a backhanded compliment but this was a huge improvement from last season and I'm glad to have witnessed your growth as a player.

Seo. LOL why did we ever give you a game. Perhaps your existence as a mascot acted as a good luck charm this week; you better count your lucky stars.

jackuzzler you could win 1000 games for our team and you're still a bottom 3 player on the team after The Dugtrio Incident ™. Nonetheless, undefeated is crazy work and you bossed up for us.

Texas Cloverleaf you've been a goated crutch for us this year and the last, idk if the game 12 scheduling is intentional, but I think you've won every decider for us so it's always nice having you in the eleventh hour.

Click>Think u dodged a bullet not having to play tbh, I made the mistake of escaping gen 6 and you were about to as well. Glad to chat with you on the team though u were a hella positive presence to be around.

GirlsSeeGhosts struggling to find anything positive to say but.. I guess you won a few games here and there. Not sure if you can even count that last game as a win but shoutout to gen 1 freeze mechanics.

Fc team carry. u didn't type much, but whenever you did, EVERYBODY listened. Unfortunate record, but from what I remember, u played solidly, things just didn't go your way, and that's sometimes how the randbats cookie crumbles.

Enstrom you were always quick with the memes and I can respect that game. Sad to see you got snubbed by only getting to sub in once and it was for gen 2 of all tiers.

spell you're on the team? on behalf of our members you're welcome my child

IMCOOKiNG Fuck. You.

fay glad to see you finally get your custom avatar, it was great having you on the team brother.

And for my last shoutout, thank you clean for absolutely nothing jackass.

Getting my s/o post done quick as well before others drop their paragraphs:

Seo. Glad we unleashed you in Finals. U benched me in that one random ass mono league tho, ur a terrible manager. Also, I'd probably 11-0 you if we ever ran a 1v1 hoops sessh, maybe I'll be in Alberta someday to run the fade iA

Sapphire Elite comms all szn long, glad to have teamed up with you for another successful WCoR run where we got to keep things exciting by making sure our opponents never fell too far behind in the set count

TheHorrorHare Nice training session with Wes, it really brought out the ability to gen great MUs all season long. Fr tho, ur growth as a gamer has been one of the things I've enjoyed watching between last yr and this yr. U finally using like 30 seconds of timer per game now, incredible improvement

sunsets This snake sat on the bench all szn while we fought for our lives, only to finally emerge in playoffs and never lose. Kinda cool, ig

blundergoth Polycule Power-up was hella noticeable this season fr, gz on putting up numbers on and off the court. S/O HaunterBoy28

Zap Others may have laughed at ur loss this week. I stood with them, how'd u lose in finals after mogging all szn. haha. Anyways, hope u get that job iA and prob time to retire fr

jackuzzler Glad we got you from the bargain bin, 4-0 in ur first rands team tour is tuff. That being said, we're keeping you in BW OU for the foreseeable future. Dugtrio is banned there

yerdunc Glad you gave up on ORAS rands and handed it over to me so I could show the team how to truly give up on mons

Career Ended Glad to hear ur doing well in life now bro, mons is overrated. IRL is where it's at

Texas Cloverleaf The UwU moment in gc made me spit out my drink, didn't know u had that in ya. Genuinely performed like Kobe in the clutch from last year till now, was always pretty comfortable knowing that u were playing last whenever we needed to seal the week

Rage Genuinely. Like, genuinely. Appreciate having u on this team, last year and now. Your sacrifice into the GSC slot is top 3 noble human act I've ever personally witnessed. Fuck records, that's for pple who don't understand the human condition. Ur a huge part of why we succeeded as a team

GirlsSeeGhosts You asked us to not speak about how handsome you are. I won't, ur like a 3/10 respectfully. 10/10 on turn 1 freezes tho. And going X-1 is kinda tuff, happy to have teamed with you for another year. Pick me up in RBYPL btw. thanks

Enstrom Was unfortunate that the only set we got u in for was the worst rands format ever created but that being said I'll see u this winter in GSC rands for RBTT

spell Fc Agera King Billu Elite team + chat presences, couldn't have won this w/o y'all

IMCOOKiNG just gonna take a moment to counter all this unfounded negativity I'm seeing.

If IMCOOKiNG has million number of fans i am one of them . if IMCOOKiNG has ten fans i am one of them. if IMCOOKiNG have only one fan and that is me . if IMCOOKiNG has no fans, that means i am no more on the earth . if world against IMCOOKiNG , i am against the world ❌☄️. I stand by #@IMCOOKiNG till my last breath.. .. Die Hard fan of IMCOOKiNG . Hit Like If you Think IMCOOKiNG Best player & Smart In the world

and lastly,

Batram glad you showed up for 2 days in the middle of playoffs, you basically revitalized our luck and put us in this position to win. Hope all is well in the Himalayans brother

Ggs to OCE and everyone we faced along the way. Have a nice day :sphearical:
 
GG oceania, this finals was certainly.. . something, but alas.
Winning again feels like such a fever dream. Pokemon is my life (I mean I'm literally gunning to 100% every Pokemon game ever in my life) and to think only a couple years ago going from never having played in any tournaments to being invited to play in the World Cup, and following that being able to manage the team that has had this much success now is wild. Just wild. I had even more fun this year than last year too having made more friends.

I feel so proud of my own success too. I feel like I've finally proven myself having achieved (I think) the best record this season at 7-1 (possibly tied with others) and having my history with this franchise culminate in something makes it feel like, one step further, that it's really just all worth it.

I greatly appreciate the community we have in our team, and I earnestly believe it's the key to our success. We all want to win, not just for ourselves but each other too. I feel so happy during the World Cup because it feels like I have a friend group randomly become active again and talking daily. I love too that we still chat in the server between World Cups too.

Team mentions, and more, top to bottom obviously no order.

Rage i care about you even if you went 1-5 and got benched. Team tours genuinely don't feel the same without you and Sapph, especially given this is my fourth with you guys, of 6? I wish you were active more at the beginning but you came through in the playoffs :)

sunsets THE PROPHECY WAS FULFILLED YOU PLAYED!!!!!

yerdunc you are so fucking funny bro you make me laugh like everyday. my ray of sunshine never leave

Career Ended You beat me in Gen 9 poffs last year for that rands stuff and I hate you for it. But I love you for being apart of this team so maybe it balances out.

Fc spell thanks for trying your best stepping in but i wish you more active. hopefully next year :)

Sapphire My unofficial fourth captain. You keep me in check and I'm ever so grateful you let me succeed your position. It's safe to say I didn't let you down LOL. Like I said earlier, team tours aren't the same without you. Never retire, I will always slot you in doubles no matter how washed you think you are. Thank you girl, much love <3

Zap thanks for bringing in our team mascot and taking a god forsaken generation.

Click>Think i THINK CLICK is awesome haha. do you get it? do you get it?do you get it?do you get it?do you get it?do you get it?do you get it?do you get it?do you get it?do you get it?do you get it?do you get it?do you get it?lbg do you get it?

TheHorrorHare One of the greatest underdog stories to exist. I invested in you and I'm so glad I did. 6-2 is a fantastic record and you're one of the more flexible players on the team which is SO useful. thanks bro

Texas Cloverleaf My gen 4 GOAT. thank you for taking the slot i'd otherwise have to play. after your run last year every texas game is a MUST to spectate. pay for the majority of the CA again this year thx

GirlsSeeGhosts so impressive. X-1 twice in a row, you're like the MVP of the team. you're genuinely the rock of the team. you told me not to talk about how handsome you are so ill refrain :( keep up the freezes tho

Enstrom not many games for you this year but one day. since we both live like 30min away from each other the enstrom blundergoth meetup will SURELY happen (surely). keep editing those pictures and videos

jackuzzler HIDDEN GEM ALERT 4-0 BUT YOU ARENT EVER LETTING DOWN THE DUGTRIO.

IMCOOKiNG Fuck. You. All these "LBG" and "Hey." and yerdunc glazing, what did you even contribute? You didn't even win a single game. All this hate is deserved Welcome to Team Canada WCOR 2027 buddy. LBG.

Seo. https://voca.ro/15KAddbqja9D

JustOut459 Forever and always.

HaunterBoy28 grown man.

Batram and 3d we still talk about you.

and a special shoutout to AshKetchumsPikachu
 
s/os to OCN crew, will keep it short and sweet.

The biggest thing to come from this is that I had a choice to move to USNE this year as the sole American on the OCN gang, and as cool as that would've been, my heart's with OCN even if my scheduling now says -4/-5.

JustOut459 and Ghostilex - Oh captain, my captains. Thanks for never questioning my ability to play in any tier and putting me in all the unconventional spots (usually comes in the form of them asking if I knew how to play a tier and me learning it in a few days) to help the team. I think you guys know how to use my abilities the best out of anyone else, and we've been through a lot together overall (especially my months of work with Justin)
livid washed - Still one of the best to do it of all time, and i hope that there's a roulette in rbtt and that i get slotted in it against you if it comes down to it. Always felt safe knowing you were playing.
Lucas2543 - I wish you had some better luck, and I hope you feel better after that personal emergency, but it's always nice seeing you around WCOR time!
Terekusai - If you don't play in more RB things I will riot. Pretty sure you have the chance to be the best randdubs players of all time. Can't believe we were able to find a dubs player for OCN
Shadow079 - A lot of things didn't really go your way this tour, but I hope people don't take that against you and actually watch your games. You're still a very strong G7 threat, and was great having you as a cheerleader outside of all that.
Tom Bus - A major part of my decision to play RB again was when I was randomly laddering before rbtt, and plop asked me to play for ocn again. So honestly, I'm partially here cause of him.
damien the genius - Impressive as all hell performance. The SR changes really helped show what you could've done in a less variance meta, and I'm glad you signed up to play this tier.
Drifting - Pretty sure everyone was wondering why we had 2 amazing gen 4rs and you were slotted here instead. I'm glad you showed them what was up, and that there was a method to the madness.
Stallion - Glad you got out of G2, only to get massively fucked by hax in the final. It is what it is, but hope that doesn't dissuade you from playing more rands cause you're still a sick player.
O1V7O2X9O - The luck you had in your G2 games was actually abysmal. Another case of better than what the record shows, but hope you don't have to play this god awful tier in RBTT and maybe we can face off in 4 again
magialice - Thanks for covering 1, which allowed us to be pretty flex with the weird lineups the aussies had in their head!
Sylveesnom - It's unfortunate you didn't get to play more, but I'm glad you got the chance to in the end, and it was always reassuring having you on the team in case anything went wrong.

And thank you to Wadley, ninjadog, DugZa for being there to be able to cover anything and making it possible to go the distance as a full roster

Closing this out by saying that it was nice feeling like I was the most underestimated player of the tournament, despite all the names I've taken in the past. The chip on my shoulder really makes me want to win it more, and I'm sure all the OCN players feel the same. See you in RBTT!
 
WCOR 2026​

Another year, another exciting edition of WCOR has come to an end. Just like last year, Canada keeps surprising us all by securing a legendary back to back, incredibly well done! Sure, it always takes a good amount of luck to win it all but I think this team has something very similar to what I have seen in past winners like USNE and Benelux: there is a core of dedicated rands player who create a good environment together. Happy to see some friends win again but I hope you let someone else win in the next few years lol

What I wrote above about the strength of a team easily applies to Team Oceania as well. You all are tough as nails, incredibly consistent and a scary opponent to face (we may know something about it...). Your time will come for sure as long as you keep most of the core intact and if you are able to escape the jaws of a North American based team :')

This edition was the first time I started a prediction contest for WCOR playoffs. We are getting more and more people joining in so the plan is to run it back for Circuit Playoffs (if possible) and RBTT and hopefully give a real prize too.
The winner of the prediction contest for WCOR 2026 is... Star Wheel! He got 6/7 correct guesses, especially predicting Canada as the winners! Before finals, it was a two-men race between him and Ghostilex, who understandably predicted his team to win. Click>Think overtakes the aussie thanks to the bonus points given in the last round. You can find the top 3 behind the spoiler tag down below

And now, on to the bigger part of the post. As you guys probably know at some point, I really like to delve into the history of our tournaments, searching for nice trivia to bring up. I know I dedicate waaaaay too much time to this and I know some of the trivia are just extremely niche or even uninteresting but I hope the continuation of this post is a fun read for everyone nonetheless.
This happens to be my 1001th message on Smogon (I had to tag people yesterday in Gen 5 aaaaaa), a beautiful coincidence for what is definitely one of the longest posts I have ever written :p

For the WCOR trivia post, I decided to create three sections to group the trivia together. I probably advise you all to read the first two parts and maybe wait a bit more for the last one since there is a lot in there lol
Down below, you will find the following:

- Canada and Oceania trivia > it includes facts and trivia the two finalists, both in terms of team and individual performances
- WCOR 2026 trivia > divided into two sub-sections, it's dedicated to the teams and the players who competed in this edition of WCOR
- Compendium > the giant wall of text that aims to keep a history of the records of WCOR (and the other rands tournaments too)

If you like what you read, leave a like to this post, subscribe to the channel (I don't have a channel) and to my Patreon (I don't have a Patreon). Most importantly, please point out any mistakes that I made and feel free to give suggestions so I can improve the structure and the content of this and the future trivia posts :]

Without further ado, it's time to start the...


WCOR 2026 TRIVIA POST!​


Section 1: Canada and Oceania trivia :latias::krokorok:
Trivia about the two finalists
- The most important result of this edition: Canada is the first team to win 2 World Cup of Randbats and consecutively too! On the other end, Oceania is the first team to lose two finals

- Canada ties China for most wins in playoffs history, which also happens to be the longest win streak in playoffs in the history of the event (6 consecutive and overall wins)

- Canada and Oceania reaching the finals meant that the teams that ever got to this stage in WCOR history all have already two appearances in finals! Canada joins China, Benelux and US North East in the (surprisingly not so) exclusive circle of teams to reach back to back finals

- Since Canada was seed #4 and Oceania seed #7, we just witnessed the final between the two cumulative lowest seeds in WCOR history

- I believe this record will be very hard to beat: both the RBTT and the WCOR finals were between pretty much the same managers. Rage and Sunsets for Diamond Storms/Canada faced off again against JustOut and Ghostilex, managers of Flame Body Faction/Oceania. However, they weren't the first people to reach finals in both events in the same year, as Fragments did it in 2025

Canada trivia
- With a 7-1 record each, the MVPs of this tournament are blundergoth and GirlsSeeGhosts! Very honorable mention to goldmason, who had the same record as the two canadians

- Blundergoth keeps doing very well as a manager and player, considering they won back to back editions of WCOR, reached playoffs of RBEL as the first seed and played for Diamond Storms in the last RBTT, reaching finals as the first seed too. Blunder's MVP title means it's the second time we have a Gen 3 MVP in WCOR after xGang in 2023, which happens to be the other instance of a shared MVP title (with livid, in that case) in the history of WCOR

- GirlsSeeGhosts had yet another phenomenal season and he can boast an absurd 17-2 in the last two years, including qualifiers. How can one go 17-2 in Gen 1, what the heck??? WCOR seems to have a peculiar affinity with RBY since AlphaMalePsyduck was the MVP in 2024, GirlsSeeGhosts himself had the best overall record in 2025 taking qualifiers into consideration and Panty&Stockings thad the joint best record in 2022 (7-1), finishing undefeated in Gen 1

- yerdunc, spell, Fc and sunsets make finals both in WCOR and WCOP in the same year, just like TheFranklin and Ruft in 2023 (who played for Europe in WCOP and Benelux in WCOR)

- With his 3 consecutive wins in main stage, Yerdunc reached the longest win streak ever recorded in WCOR with 13 wins. I would have to check but I think this is probably only second to what ionnss was able to achieve in randdubs in the last two years of RBTT (15 wins in a row)

- Career Ended is at 4 finals reached in a row in rands team tours (3-1 record), which is very impressive. I believe only Fragments managed to do this (with the exact same record) between 2024 and 2025. This is also the third year in a row that he wins at least one team tournament, considering he won RBEL in 2024 :o

- Speaking of streaks, sunsets and Rage reach their 3rd team tour final in a row as managers! Will they run it back in RBTT X? We'll see...

- Zap is the new addition to the list of players who won RBTT and WCOR in the same year! The others were Wubben and xGang (2023); Buhrito (2024), Fragments (2024), Lrogue (2024), Peap (2024) and his fellow canadian Career Ended (2025)

- The Gen 8 player is also equaling the record of 3 consecutive team tournaments won, previously registered by Fragments (won RBTT 2023, WCOR 2024, RBTT 2025). RBTT X will be his golden chance to extend the win streak to 4!

- Once again, no Rbel winner wins WCOR in the same year (Sylvee got close) but hey, Enstrom joins the list of players competing in both events and winning the latter

- Seo. won a series just when we got told AI might kill us all in just a few years. Coincidence? I think not...
- IMCOOKiNG might be the most hated teammate of all time :worrywhirl:

Oceania trivia
- Oceania is now tied with Germany for most tiebreaks won in WCOR (2) without losing any of them. The win against Italy in top 8 adds to the one against Spain in 2024 which allowed them to qualify to playoffs for the first time in their history

- livid washed is the second person to win three matches in tiebreaks after Vaboh in Wcor 2022 (double tiebreak between West, Asia and Midwest). His record is definitely more impressive for a bunch of reasons: 1) He won series in three different editions 2) He is still undefeated in tiebreak games 3) He was the first person to win a tiebreak for two different teams (this already happened in 2023 and 2024)

- With his 6 wins in 2026, livid is now the player with the most wins in WCOR history if we only count main stage + playoffs games. The player with the most wins if we count qualifiers too? You'll see him in the next section...

- Justin manages to reach finals in a team tour for the third time in a row. Most importantly, he is also the first person to reach the finals of RBEL, RBTT and WCOR as a manager, and all of them in consecutive appearances too :o

- It's worth to mention that Justin's record in all our main team tournaments is quite impressive too, since he never missed playoffs in whatever he managed or played in (3 times in RBTT with a win, 3 times in WCOR, Won RBEL)

- Third consecutive final reached by Trade too, in this case as a player/manager!

- "I really like your trivia post Fran, thanks for making them!" - Drifting, just a few weeks ago. Well, this is the moment where I have to write that he and Stallion join Fantsy (2022), livid (2024) and Buhrito (2025) as the only players who lost RBTT and WCOR finals in the same year :row:


Section 2: WCOR 2026 Trivia :Regigigas:
Trivia about teams and players of WCOR 2026
Trivia about teams
- I personally thought the main stage of WCOR 2026 was very exciting, with the last spots for top 8 and for relegation getting decided at the very last match. The overall good quality of the tournament can be seen with this stat: we had the highest number of teams ending with a positive differential (11 teams), together with WCOR 2022. If we take positive AND neutral records into considerations, WCOR 2024 did even better, with an absurd amount of 13 teams, once again tied with the 2022 edition

- Argentina:glastrier: is now the team with the worst differential ever recorded in the main stage of WCOR with -29. It's the second year in a row that the team that finishes first in qualifers gets relegated with the worst differential ever seen. It's obviously a very rough record but hey, this was their first year in main stage so hopefully it's a step into the right direction to build a more competitive team!

- US South:torchic: becomes the leading country in playoffs appearances. All their 4 appearances were also achieved consecutively, which is another record in itself. Unfortunately for them, these 4 appearances resulted in a winless record in playoffs, with the last two eliminations being tainted by two players not showing up :c

- Speaking of most playoff appearances, at the end of WCOR 2025 US South were tied at 3 with many other countries such as Benelux, China, India, Latin America and US North East. It's very surprising that none of these teams reached playoffs this year, with India getting relegated and US North East getting dangerously close too (and if we consider the Netherlands as one half of the defunct Benelux, they got relegated too)

- Netherlands:raging bolt: and India:medicham-mega: are definitely among the biggest disappointments of this edition, especially considering the amazing history they had in WCOR. They both get relegated for the first time, with a 17 point and 16 point swing in comparison to where they were sitting at last year, where they got, respectively, 9th and 8th place in the standings. It's a very big fall that is partially overshadowed by the -28 US North East recored, which is the worst swing in terms of differential that we have ever seen

- Season for hell for US North East:greedent: as well but at least they barely escaped what would have been the most unexpected relegation in the history of the tournament. With their win in the relegation tiebreak against US West, the Greedent squad has taken part in the 3rd tiebreak in WCOR, equaling the record of long time rival Benelux. Fun fact: North East is also the only team among those who participated in both a relegation and a promotion tiebreak to have never been in one to qualify to top 8 (Germany, US West and Midwest all did)

- For the second year in a row, US West:ursaluna: had to endure a heartbreak at the very last match. They were competing in their second tiebreak in WCOR history (the first being in WCOR I, when they faced Midwest and Asia). As I wrote above, they are just the fourth team to compete both in a promotion and in a relegation tiebreak (USNE, Midwest, Germany the others).
Unfortunately for them, their loss to US North East means they have reached 3 relegations, the most in WCOR history together with US Midwest. These are consecutive relegations too... :(

- As you can see, one of the trends of WCOR 2026 is that we had a lot of tiebreaks! 3 in a single edition is the record, just like WCOR 2022. It's also the first time we had both a relegation and a promotion tiebreak in the same edition!

- From disappointing seasons to new personal bests: Spain:gyarados: and US Midwest:poliwrath: made it to playoffs for the first time in their history! To me, Spain was probably the biggest surprise in top 8, even if they can definitely count on players who are well accustomed to rands. I didn't expect Midwest to reach playoffs this quickly after their rebuild but props to them for having a great season :D

- US Midwest's performance is one half of why it's been another great year for teams coming from qualifiers. It's just the second time we get two qualified teams (Midwest and Asia) in top 8 (the record is 3 in 2023 with US North East, Africope and US South, but there were also 7 spots available for qualified teams) but it's the first time two qualified teams face each other in playoffs

- US Midwest's history really seems to be intertwined to that of Asia, to which they lost the tiebreak to get to top 8 (add US West to the mix) in the first edition of WCOR. After four years and a painful relegation for both last year, both these teams have bounced back in style, scoring the best performances of their WCOR history. They faced each other in Top 8, where Midwest avenged their 2022 loss by winning in yet another tiebreak, their first ever win in playoffs. It's just the second time the same two teams face each other in a tiebreak, after Benelux and US North East in WCOR 2023 and 2024

- I just mentioned them and they are the other half of why it was a great season for qualified teams: Asia!:wobbuffet:. They are the second qualified team to finish regular season on top after Canada last year. This also happens to be the first time a team representing a whole continent does that :o

- Asia's road to return to playoffs was long and full of obstacles. The perfect definition of "bounce back", Asia recorded the biggest swing in terms of differential in comparison to what they did the previous year (from -14 to +14) in WCOR history

- The four years they had to wait before reaching top 8 once again is the longest period of wait for a team between the first and the second appearance in playoffs.

- The bitterseet news? Asia is the second seed #1 in wcor history to lose immediately in top 8 after Italy in 2024 (vs Oceania). Curiously enough, both Italy and Asia lost to qualified teams

- Joining Midwest, UK:roserade: got their first ever playoff win this year, proof of a steady growth that has been going on for a while

- Italy:dondozo: is the first team to lose immediately in top 8 twice after finishing the regular season with the best differential (this year they were tied with Asia but lost the coinflip). For a cruel twist of fate, they registered the same differential of +14 in 2024, when they lost to Oceania, the same team they lost to in 2026...

- Italy vs Oceania happened twice in playoffs in WCOR history, a record that is shared with Benelux vs China, Benelux vs US North East and US North East vs Oceania

- With Asia and Italy losing both in Top 8, this is the first time seeds #1 and #2 both lose in Quarterfinals of WCOR :[

Trivia about single players
- I believe it would be cool to highlight the best newcomers of our most important tournaments. Therefore, big congrats to Bin2409 and Paycard for finishing their debut season with an excellent 5-1 record! One has been on this website for ages and the other is at his first year of rands tournaments. Both of them are excellent players and nice people too so I am glad they are the rookies of the year in WCOR :p
I also want to mention that Bin's run is especially amazing because he went 4-0 in qualifiers, making him the player with the most wins in this edition after Goldmason (11-1) and hammy (10-1)!

- Last year, pokeblade101 asked me to be put in the trivia post so I did it for the memes. This year, he is actually mentioned for a real reason: he could have been the second person after Michielleus to go 5-0 in group stage in consecutive seasons but he missed time and got subbed off in his fourth game >:(
He still has the longest current win streak in WCOR (10 matches) and I guess we can say he is the second player to go unbeaten in groups in back to back seasons but come on man, you were so close ;-;

- Losconosciuto and Trace join the unfortunate list of players who lost twice in tiebreaks and in different years. The record is 3 (Wigglytuff, Gorex and [redacted]), with Wiggly being the only person of the three to compete in two different tiebreaks

- FreyaknightVGC is the first and at the moment only italian player to win in a tiebreak. He absolutely didn't ask me to put him here, no no.
However, he gave me an assist to point out something I hadn't thought about: with his win, all the teams that ever took part in tiebreaks won at least 1 series!

- 9 players finished with a 5-0 record in the main stage, the minimum ever recorded together with 2024. It's worth to mention that none of these 9 players had already achieved a perfect record in the past. Moreover! For the first time in the history of WCOR, there are no teams who can boast two or more players with a 5-0 record, which is something that always happened in the previous editions

- ionnss is the second person to stay undefeated in all the possible regular season games both in WCOR and in RBTT! The first person to do so was flameingpigey2 in WCOR 2024 and RBTT 2025. Fun fact: ionnss and pigey were teammates in that RBTT season

- If we count main stage and qualifiers, YBW is the person with the most wins in WCOR history with 26! I admit I didn't think he would be first but he has 7 wins in qualifiers and he has been so consistently good ever since WCOR 2022 (he never went negative!), so that's why he is on top. Now that UK is a strong team, I can see him racking up more and more wins in the next few years :p

- Indulge in dreams and Buhrito join the uniquely bizarre list of players who scored both a 5-0 and a 0-5 record in different editions of WCOR. The american didn't have the best season, while the chinese player is currently on a 8 series win streak if we count 2025 too.
No haha react for you this year Indulge in dreams, you deserve your flowers x)

- 2025 > Belgium with -18
- 2024 > US Midwest with -17
- 2023 > UK with -15
- 2022 > Central America/Mexico +Caribbeans with -18

All time team leaders in terms of differential:
- US South > +35
- Latin America > +31* (they were South America in WCOR I)
- US North East > +27
- ltaly > +26
- China > +24

Best swings in terms of differential from the previous season:
- 2026 > +28 for Asia (from -14 to +14)

- 2024 > +14 for Italy (from 0 to +14)
- 2023 > +9 for US North East (from -3 to +6)
- 2022 > -

*Canada went from non qualifying to +20 so I don't know how to evaluate it exactly. If we take 2023, the last season they were in main stage before 2025, as a reference for the swing, they recorded a +33 swing, which would be the biggest ever seen

Worst swings in terms of differential from the previous season:
- 2026 >>> -28 for US North East (from +20 to -8)
- 2025 >>> -20 for France (from +10 to -10 ); -18 for Italy (from +14 to -4)

WCOR 2026​

Another year, another exciting edition of WCOR has come to an end. Just like last year, Canada keeps surprising us all by securing a legendary back to back, incredibly well done! Sure, it always takes a good amount of luck to win it all but I think this team has something very similar to what I have seen in past winners like USNE and Benelux: there is a core of dedicated rands player who create a good environment together. Happy to see some friends win again but I hope you let someone else win in the next few years lol

What I wrote above about the strength of a team easily applies to Team Oceania as well. You all are tough as nails, incredibly consistent and a scary opponent to face (we may know something about it...). Your time will come for sure as long as you keep most of the core intact and if you are able to escape the jaws of a North American based team :')

This edition was the first time I started a prediction contest for WCOR playoffs. We are getting more and more people joining in so the plan is to run it back for Circuit Playoffs (if possible) and RBTT and hopefully give a real prize too.
The winner of the prediction contest for WCOR 2026 is... Star Wheel! He got 6/7 correct guesses, especially predicting Canada as the winners! Before finals, it was a two-men race between him and Ghostilex, who understandably predicted his team to win. Click>Think overtakes the aussie thanks to the bonus points given in the last round. You can find the top 3 behind the spoiler tag down below

And now, on to the bigger part of the post. As you guys probably know at some point, I really like to delve into the history of our tournaments, searching for nice trivia to bring up. I know I dedicate waaaaay too much time to this and I know some of the trivia are just extremely niche or even uninteresting but I hope the continuation of this post is a fun read for everyone nonetheless.
This happens to be my 1001th message on Smogon (I had to tag people yesterday in Gen 5 aaaaaa), a beautiful coincidence for what is definitely one of the longest posts I have ever written :p

For the WCOR trivia post, I decided to create three sections to group the trivia together. I probably advise you all to read the first two parts and maybe wait a bit more for the last one since there is a lot in there lol
Down below, you will find the following:

- Canada and Oceania trivia > it includes facts and trivia the two finalists, both in terms of team and individual performances
- WCOR 2026 trivia > divided into two sub-sections, it's dedicated to the teams and the players who competed in this edition of WCOR
- Compendium > the giant wall of text that aims to keep a history of the records of WCOR (and the other rands tournaments too)

Most importantly, please point out any mistakes that I made and feel free to give suggestions so I can improve the structure and the content of this and the future trivia posts :]

Without further ado, it's time to start the...


WCOR 2026 TRIVIA POST!​


Section 1: Canada and Oceania trivia :latias::krokorok:
Trivia about the two finalists
- The most important result of this edition: Canada is the first team to win 2 World Cup of Randbats and consecutively too! On the other end, Oceania is the first team to lose two finals

- Canada ties China for most wins in playoffs history, which also happens to be the longest win streak in playoffs in the history of the event (6 consecutive and overall wins)

- Canada and Oceania reaching the finals meant that the teams that ever got to this stage in WCOR history all have already two appearances in finals! Canada joins China, Benelux and US North East in the (surprisingly not so) exclusive circle of teams to reach back to back finals

- Since Canada was seed #4 and Oceania seed #7, we just witnessed the final between the two cumulative lowest seeds in WCOR history

- I believe this record will be very hard to beat: both the RBTT and the WCOR finals were between pretty much the same managers. Rage and Sunsets for Diamond Storms/Canada faced off again against JustOut and Ghostilex, managers of Flame Body Faction/Oceania. However, they weren't the first people to reach finals in both events in the same year, as Fragments did it in 2025

Canada trivia
- With a 7-1 record each, the MVPs of this tournament are blundergoth and GirlsSeeGhosts! Very honorable mention to goldmason, who had the same record as the two canadians

- Blundergoth keeps doing very well as a manager and player, considering they won back to back editions of WCOR, reached playoffs of RBEL as the first seed and played for Diamond Storms in the last RBTT, reaching finals as the first seed too. Blunder's MVP title means it's the second time we have a Gen 3 MVP in WCOR after xGang in 2023, which happens to be the other instance of a shared MVP title (with livid, in that case) in the history of WCOR

- GirlsSeeGhosts had yet another phenomenal season and he can boast an absurd 17-2 in the last two years, including qualifiers. How can one go 17-2 in Gen 1, what the heck??? WCOR seems to have a peculiar affinity with RBY since AlphaMalePsyduck was the MVP in 2024, GirlsSeeGhosts himself had the best overall record in 2025 taking qualifiers into consideration and Panty&Stockings thad the joint best record in 2022 (7-1), finishing undefeated in Gen 1

- yerdunc, spell, Fc and sunsets make finals both in WCOR and WCOP in the same year, just like TheFranklin and Ruft in 2023 (who played for Europe in WCOP and Benelux in WCOR)

- With his 3 consecutive wins in main stage, Yerdunc reached the longest win streak ever recorded in WCOR with 13 wins. I would have to check but I think this is probably only second to what ionnss was able to achieve in randdubs in the last two years of RBTT (15 wins in a row)

- Career Ended is at 4 finals reached in a row in rands team tours (3-1 record), which is very impressive. I believe only Fragments managed to do this (with the exact same record) between 2024 and 2025. This is also the third year in a row that he wins at least one team tournament, considering he won RBEL in 2024 :o

- Speaking of streaks, sunsets and Rage reach their 3rd team tour final in a row as managers! Will they run it back in RBTT X? We'll see...

- Zap is the new addition to the list of players who won RBTT and WCOR in the same year! The others were Wubben and xGang (2023); Buhrito (2024), Fragments (2024), Lrogue (2024), Peap (2024) and his fellow canadian Career Ended (2025)

- Once again, no Rbel winner wins WCOR in the same year (Sylvee got close) but hey, Enstrom joins the list of players competing in both events and winning the latter

- Seo. won a series just when we got told AI might kill us all in just a few years. Coincidence? I think not...
- IMCOOKiNG might be the most hated teammate of all time :worrywhirl:

Oceania trivia
- Oceania is now tied with Germany for most tiebreaks won in WCOR (2) without losing any of them. The win against Italy in top 8 adds to the one against Spain in 2024 which allowed them to qualify to playoffs for the first time in their history

- livid washed is the second person to win three matches in tiebreaks after Vaboh in Wcor 2022 (double tiebreak between West, Asia and Midwest). His record is definitely more impressive for a bunch of reasons: 1) He won series in three different editions 2) He is still undefeated in tiebreak games 3) He was the first person to win a tiebreak for two different teams (this already happened in 2023 and 2024)

- With his 6 wins in 2026, livid is now the player with the most wins in WCOR history if we only count main stage + playoffs games. The player with the most wins if we count qualifiers too? You'll see him in the next section...

- Justin manages to reach finals in a team tour for the third time in a row. Most importantly, he is also the first person to reach the finals of RBEL, RBTT and WCOR as a manager, and all of them in consecutive appearances too :o

- It's worth to mention that Justin's record in all our main team tournaments is quite impressive too, since he never missed playoffs in whatever he managed or played in (3 times in RBTT with a win, 3 times in WCOR, Won RBEL)

- Third consecutive final reached by Trade too, in this case as a player/manager!

- "I really like your trivia post Fran, thanks for making them!" - Drifting, just a few weeks ago. Well, this is the moment where I have to write that he and Stallion join Fantsy (2022), livid (2024) and Buhrito (2025) as the only players who lost RBTT and WCOR finals in the same year :row:


Section 2: WCOR 2026 Trivia :Regigigas:
Trivia about teams and players of WCOR 2026
Trivia about teams
- I personally thought the main stage of WCOR 2026 was very exciting, with the last spots for top 8 and for relegation getting decided at the very last match. The overall good quality of the tournament can be seen with this stat: we had the highest number of teams ending with a positive differential (11 teams), together with WCOR 2022. If we take positive AND neutral records into considerations, WCOR 2024 did even better, with an absurd amount of 13 teams, once again tied with the 2022 edition

- Argentina:glastrier: is now the team with the worst differential ever recorded in the main stage of WCOR with -29. It's the second year in a row that the team that finishes first in qualifers gets relegated with the worst differential ever seen. It's obviously a very rough record but hey, this was their first year in main stage so hopefully it's a step into the right direction to build a more competitive team!

- US South:torchic: becomes the leading country in playoffs appearances. All their 4 appearances were also achieved consecutively, which is another record in itself. Unfortunately for them, these 4 appearances resulted in a winless record in playoffs, with the last two eliminations being tainted by two players not showing up :c

- Speaking of most playoff appearances, at the end of WCOR 2025 US South were tied at 3 with many other countries such as Benelux, China, India, Latin America and US North East. It's very surprising that none of these teams reached playoffs this year, with India getting relegated and US North East getting dangerously close too (and if we consider the Netherlands as one half of the defunct Benelux, they got relegated too)

- Netherlands:raging bolt: and India:medicham-mega: are definitely among the biggest disappointments of this edition, especially considering the amazing history they had in WCOR. They both get relegated for the first time, with a 17 point and 16 point swing in comparison to where they were sitting at last year, where they got, respectively, 9th and 8th place in the standings. It's a very big fall that is partially overshadowed by the -28 US North East recored, which is the worst swing in terms of differential that we have ever seen

- Season for hell for US North East:greedent: as well but at least they barely escaped what would have been the most unexpected relegation in the history of the tournament. With their win in the relegation tiebreak against US West, the Greedent squad has taken part in the 3rd tiebreak in WCOR, equaling the record of long time rival Benelux. Fun fact: North East is also the only team among those who participated in both a relegation and a promotion tiebreak to have never been in one to qualify to top 8 (Germany, US West and Midwest all did)

- For the second year in a row, US West:ursaluna: had to endure a heartbreak at the very last match. They were competing in their second tiebreak in WCOR history (the first being in WCOR I, when they faced Midwest and Asia). As I wrote above, they are just the fourth team to compete both in a promotion and in a relegation tiebreak (USNE, Midwest, Germany the others).
Unfortunately for them, their loss to US North East means they have reached 3 relegations, the most in WCOR history together with US Midwest. These are consecutive relegations too... :(

- As you can see, one of the trends of WCOR 2026 is that we had a lot of tiebreaks! 3 in a single edition is the record, just like WCOR 2022. It's also the first time we had both a relegation and a promotion tiebreak in the same edition!

- From disappointing seasons to new personal bests: Spain:gyarados: and US Midwest:poliwrath: made it to playoffs for the first time in their history! To me, Spain was probably the biggest surprise in top 8, even if they can definitely count on players who are well accustomed to rands. I didn't expect Midwest to reach playoffs this quickly after their rebuild but props to them for having a great season :D

- US Midwest's performance is one half of why it's been another great year for teams coming from qualifiers. It's just the second time we get two qualified teams (Midwest and Asia) in top 8 (the record is 3 in 2023 with US North East, Africope and US South, but there were also 7 spots available for qualified teams) but it's the first time two qualified teams face each other in playoffs

- US Midwest's history really seems to be intertwined to that of Asia, to which they lost the tiebreak to get to top 8 (add US West to the mix) in the first edition of WCOR. After four years and a painful relegation for both last year, both these teams have bounced back in style, scoring the best performances of their WCOR history. They faced each other in Top 8, where Midwest avenged their 2022 loss by winning in yet another tiebreak, their first ever win in playoffs. It's just the second time the same two teams face each other in a tiebreak, after Benelux and US North East in WCOR 2023 and 2024

- I just mentioned them and they are the other half of why it was a great season for qualified teams: Asia!:wobbuffet:. They are the second qualified team to finish regular season on top after Canada last year. This also happens to be the first time a team representing a whole continent does that :o

- Asia's road to return to playoffs was long and full of obstacles. The perfect definition of "bounce back", Asia recorded the biggest swing in terms of differential in comparison to what they did the previous year (from -14 to +14) in WCOR history

- The four years they had to wait before reaching top 8 once again is the longest period of wait for a team between the first and the second appearance in playoffs.

- The bitterseet news? Asia is the second seed #1 in wcor history to lose immediately in top 8 after Italy in 2024 (vs Oceania). Curiously enough, both Italy and Asia lost to qualified teams

- Joining Midwest, UK:roserade: got their first ever playoff win this year, proof of a steady growth that has been going on for a while

- Italy:dondozo: is the first team to lose immediately in top 8 twice after finishing the regular season with the best differential (this year they were tied with Asia but lost the coinflip). For a cruel twist of fate, they registered the same differential of +14 in 2024, when they lost to Oceania, the same team they lost to in 2026...

- Italy vs Oceania happened twice in playoffs in WCOR history, a record that is shared with Benelux vs China, Benelux vs US North East and US North East vs Oceania

- With Asia and Italy losing both in Top 8, this is the first time seeds #1 and #2 both lose in Quarterfinals of WCOR :[

Trivia about single players
- I believe it would be cool to highlight the best newcomers of our most important tournaments. Therefore, big congrats to Bin2409 and Paycard for finishing their debut season with an excellent 5-1 record! One has been on this website for ages and the other is at his first year of rands tournaments. Both of them are excellent players and nice people too so I am glad they are the rookies of the year in WCOR :p
I also want to mention that Bin's run is especially amazing because he went 4-0 in qualifiers, making him the player with the most wins in this edition!

View attachment 863504
- Last year, pokeblade101 asked me to be put in the trivia post so I did it for the memes. This year, he is actually mentioned for a real reason: he could have been the second person after Michielleus to go 5-0 in group stage in consecutive seasons but he missed time and got subbed off in his fourth game >:(
He still has the longest current win streak in WCOR (10 matches) and I guess we can say he is the second player to go unbeaten in groups in back to back seasons but come on man, you were so close ;-;

- Losconosciuto and Trace join the unfortunate list of players who lost twice in tiebreaks and in different years. The record is 3 (Wigglytuff, Gorex and [redacted]), with Wiggly being the only person of the three to compete in two different tiebreaks

- FreyaknightVGC is the first and at the moment only italian player to win in a tiebreak. He absolutely didn't ask me to put him here, no no.
However, he gave me an assist to point out something I hadn't thought about: with his win, all the teams that ever took part in tiebreaks won at least 1 series!

- 9 players finished with a 5-0 record in the main stage, the minimum ever recorded together with 2024. It's worth to mention that none of these 9 players had already achieved a perfect record in the past. Moreover! For the first time in the history of WCOR, there are no teams who can boast two or more players with a 5-0 record, which is something that always happened in the previous editions

- ionnss is the second person to stay undefeated in all the possible regular season games both in WCOR and in RBTT! The first person to do so was flameingpigey2 in WCOR 2024 and RBTT 2025. Fun fact: ionnss and pigey were teammates in that RBTT season

- If we count main stage and qualifiers, YBW is the person with the most wins in WCOR history with 26! I admit I didn't think he would be first but he has 7 wins in qualifiers and he has been so consistently good ever since WCOR 2022 (he never went negative!), so that's why he is on top. Now that UK is a strong team, I can see him racking up more and more wins in the next few years :p

- Indulge in dreams and Buhrito join the uniquely bizarre list of players who scored both a 5-0 and a 0-5 record in different editions of WCOR. The american didn't have the best season, while the chinese player is currently on a 8 series win streak if we count 2025 too.
No haha react for you this year Indulge in dreams, you deserve your flowers x)

5) Differentials in main stage

Highest differentials recorded every season:
- 2026 > Asia and Italy with +14
- 2025 > Canada and US North East with +20
- 2024 > Italy with +14
- 2023 > China and Latin America with +8
- 2022 > China with +10

Lowest differentials ever recorded:

- 2025 > Belgium with -18
- 2024 > US Midwest with -17
- 2023 > UK with -15
- 2022 > Central America/Mexico +Caribbeans with -18

All time team leaders in terms of differential:
- US South > +35
- Latin America > +31* (they were South America in WCOR I)
- US North East > +27
- ltaly > +26
- China > +24
- Canada > +23* (not counting 2024 because they lost in qualifiers)
- Benelux > +14
- India > +8
- Oceania > +6

Best swings in terms of differential from the previous season:
- 2026 > +28 for Asia (from -14 to +14)
- 2025 > +20 for Latin America (from -2 to +18)*
- 2024 > +14 for Italy (from 0 to +14)
- 2023 > +9 for US North East (from -3 to +6)
- 2022 > -

*Canada went from non qualifying to +20 so I don't know how to evaluate it exactly. If we take 2023, the last season they were in main stage before 2025, as a reference for the swing, they recorded a +33 swing, which would be the biggest ever seen

Worst swings in terms of differential from the previous season:
- 2026 >>> -28 for US North East (from +20 to -8)
- 2025 >>> -20 for France (from +10 to -10 ); -18 for Italy (from +14 to -4)

Section 1 is reserved exclusively to Canada and Oceania because they were the finalists and I wanted to give them a bigger spotlight. They are not in section 2 because I would have repeated the same things I wrote in section 1
