Strong preference towards the Gen7 formats where I feel more comfortable but can play the others if needed. Qualified for Worlds in 2019 and have a good record in Classics, VGC PL and Winter Leagues playing VGC17 mostly. Have two x-2 finishes in Regionals in 2018 and 2019, but favorite format and overall most successful one is 2017. Currently on a VGC break but will never pass an opportunity to play the best VGC formats we've ever had.
