Hello hat lovers!

This past weekend I was able to win the BC Invitational, a tournament that we detailed here. This was a tournament that I had been looking forward to for quite some time, and despite not being awarded any CP and the attendance being a little small compared to the amount of people that earned an invite, this was quite easily the most excited I’ve been over a tournament performance. The $350 prize for winning was quite nice, especially after missing out on a Nationals stipend, but the greater satisfaction was probably winning a tournament that was invite exclusive. I also managed to go 10-0 the entire tournament, winning five straight best-of-three sets without dropping a single game in those match ups.

Howdy hat lovers!

I recently visited Victoria for the last two BC Premier Challenges of the season to pick any CP that I can. I chose not to use my Metagross team because I had honestly gotten bored with it, so instead, my friend OneTrueKing gave me the team he used to reach top 3 in the world on BattleSpot. I thought the team was straight forward enough that I could learn quickly on how to use it.

Hello Hat Lovers!

Here’s a preview for the upcoming BC Invitational. This is a local tournament happening on June 13th open to anyone who has won a top cut match in a BC Premiere Challenge this season; thus players needed to make either the Top 4 in a 17+ person tournament, or the finals in a smaller tournament. The finalists of this invitiational will receive travel stipends towards US Nationals. First place will receive a stipend of $350, while second place will receive $100. In this preview, we’re going to introduce you to the players from British Columbia, and say a bit about who will be attending.

I guess as an author for this site now I’m obligated to open like this, so greetings hat lovers!

This is the team I used for much of January. The team revolved around the use of Mega Gardevoir and Rage Powder Volcarona, with Imprison being tech’d onto Gardevoir to lock down Sylveon and some variants of Salamence. I thought the team concept was fun overall, because Gardevoir and bulky Volcarona are quite rare and it gave me an advantage over unprepared opponents. The only tournament I took this team to was a NuggetBridge Live, where I entered Top Cut as the #1 seed before losing in Top 8.
