I went to a new store today, Safari Zone Collectibles. It was so impressive, well organized, and the owners were so down to earth. At the end of the challenge, the winners got a custom playmat because “Pokemon sends us ones for Cup, so we make our own to give out to our locals”

I have terrible news. I woke up swollen on only one side of my body and after my physician saw me for 2 mins, she rushed me to the ER. Imaging showed I have two large blood clots and after blood thinners today, I am not able to fly for 4 weeks. Very sad about not going to LAIC

One of the tougher things I have had to do in a while. I didn’t wake up this morning expecting to send Owen alone to Brazil. We have been a pair playing Regionals all this year. Being with you, the Pokémon community means so much to him. And the love to compete. Go get LAIC.

This is likely a good time to share a touching moment for the Pokémon community. As many know, Owen was DQed at LAIC after final results had him in Top 8. We were supported by so many, but the response to support tickets were received without a reasonable dialog. Owen had..1/x

I just discovered while taking apart pre-rotation decks that I played a whole Cup with a proxy. Including having deck check after making Cut. Yikes! Need to be more careful. Only 1 of the Battle VIP Passes was a proxy and I never noticed for 5 games. 3-0- then double ID.

Folks, I just heard about a tremendous victory in Philadelphia. A true champion Chien Pao, the best, some say the absolute best, WON the CUP! Now, this wasn't any ordinary win, decklist error, believe it or not! They took his beautiful Bidoofs, no access to Bibarel, a disgrace!

I just heard about a Chien Pao that won the Cup in Philly. He had a decklist error and had to replace the bidoofs with energy. So no access to bibarel. Drew insane anyways in Cut to bear 2 Tinas and Arc Zard in the finals. Insane to win with a run like that.

165th out of 855 at Lille going 5-3-1 losing R9. I am trying the best I can but falling short. Probably will take a day before I am my optimistic self again. Bright side is 4 for 4 getting points in my first regionals. Dark side is that +30 CP isn’t going to get me there.
