[Firestorm]

The con is listed as being in the North building on the website I believe so it should be north.

 

[Jmandal]

I think I'll go too :D Don't know anyone though lol

 

[Layell]

One last thing: I will be carrying around a little banner for us at some points. It will look like a cross between the koffing sign and the canadian flag, (but purple and yellow of course). I just made it and the paint is drying, I'll see you all there.

[MiniWade]

Such a great day overall place 1st with 5-0. Met a lot of friendly folks and played lots of tough matches :p

 

[OVERGRO]

Lots of great matches, lots of new people.
Nice meeting you guys, and great games!

 

[Texas Cloverleaf]

4-2 on the day, huge grats to Roz for the 4th place finish!

 

[Roz]

Thanks a lot! I had a blast meeting you all, and hopefully I'll see you all again at Nats!
The only downside to the tournament is that I didn't get to talk a lot to everyone D:
Hopefully I'll get to talk more to you guys at Nats! =D

I still find it rather silly that they did not have a top cut. The TCG usually does...
... Well, it worked out for me though.

I went 6-0.
I have to admit, I got a few very lucky breaks today. Those who remembered playing me will agree.

4W/2L, except my two losses were Round 2 and 3. As such, my opponent win percentage was pretty low, I came up bottom of the 4/2 tiebreak at 21 (with the topmost being ranked 8, who was the person who beat me round 2, by 9HP, so close).

Intense battles, friendly folk, good times (though I'm a little disappointed). Couldn't have done it without Smogon. Can't wait for Nationals!

 

[Atlas]

As such, my opponent win percentage was pretty low

sorry ._.

i was your 5th or 6th opponent i think, with the stunfisk

 

[Dozz]

Sorry again for the scarce updates, but I've been informed MiniWade won seniors, and c l e a r took the masters title so Congrats to both. Like other threads, I'll try collect together some results in retropsect.

I came at the bottom of the 5-1 tie break myself, I know the feeling. :(

1 of the people I played ended 2-4, and based on the people whose names I remembered, I guess my round 2 opponent also ended 2-4 as well, placing me in last out of the 5-1s.

Hopefully, I can pull it together and just not lose in nationals :P

Great matches though overall from the people I played. Also surprised by how nice everyone was. I've been playing too many games with rage-fueled communities lately it seems.

Hey, it was nice playing you guys today. Congratulations especially to c l e a r who completely owned me in the final round. Hope you guys all had a great day, and hope to see you guys at Nationals!

 

[Firestorm]

Congrats clear! I remember talking to a bit back when I was constantly on the GameFAQs DP WiFi Battling board! Looks like I'll likely be seeing you at Nationals this year!

Some images

Layell pulling a quick Ruben outside, don't worry this was clearly just an O'Henry Bar, this was something I mentioned doing in the Ruben thread and was fun to pull off

Phiddlesticks in a desperate moment of hunger also decides to eat another. Yes I did bring the toilet paper with me.

We getting hats like it's TF2, Layell, Phiddlesticks, and TexasCloverleaf. snkz would later cajole a hat from a guy at the desk.

The Team Smoganada banner and that super shiny shelmet card.

We all had a few lucky breaks, my freeze on Atlas in r1 and my double rock slide flinch on another guy will agree.

Anyways I am not sure if I'll do a war story yet, but here are some highlight pics

4-2 and "11th place", with whatever witchcraft they use to calculate these results is good enough for me and my scratched together team, the only two people I lost against were clear and roz (being 1st and 4th I not the only one). The attitude for many of us going in was "prep for nationals" so we had a lot of fun just talking and messing around.

 

[Kapuran]

Does anyone know then the Nationals thread will be opened?I want to actually chat with more people next time, rather than get in, battle, and get out. :/

 

[Atlas]

probably soon now that regionals is over

 

[Layell]

Also those of you who never said hello or came to chat or anything: whyyyy?

Kittenmew I street passed with you iirc, and didn't see anything out of the juniors what gives :'(

 

[Jmandal]

I went 3 and 3 which I guess isn't too bad for my first ever tourney lol. Awesome being able to meet people on the community!

 

[Dittoditto]
