Dude! Yes, I'm so excited to get involved and play my first in-person event. Got back into the hobby and soon found that playing the game actually made me happier than collecting. This is gonna be fun.
Same

Part of me wants to go to a regional championship with the kyogre deck.
I respect it, full send it.
@@TuxWASD I can see it now: 40 energy cards in a signed championship series deck
I would root for you the entire way
Me too lmao
@Rye Bread Probably. Unless you get hella unlucky and prize your volcorona.
Excellent video Andrew. I can't wait to compete alongside you soon enough
Heck yeah flex daddy
Even though it’s not on a video, I still hit the like button when I see flex daddy
Never played irl games but for some reason really enjoyed this video. Would love more in depth videos on how to actually play tabletop some of the etiquette and rules and things
I would say the worst part about trying to collect cards and learn how to actually play competitively is trying to actually find cards or buy them. It's been a nightmare. Then actually learning how to build decks. That's my problem now. Been a rough start. I will say you have sparked my interest with all your online game play! So I thank you very much Sir!
I’m new too, thank you for this breakdown!
This is the cross over I’ve been waiting for! 🔥 welcome to the hobby!
@@mattlambert5899 thanks Matt! More to come!
Very excited to go to my first regionals! Thank you for breaking down competitive play for me!
Good luck! I hope you will win! If not, at least enjoy and make the experience worth it.
Me too
Great video on what to expect. I am 38 and everyone has been so welcoming in the community. Our local league is full of great people and my son has started to join the fun. Even though I am on the older side of players, my goal one day would be to play with my son at a regional tournament.
Once again great video!
This is an awesome intro, thank you! I'm one of the new players who started during lockdown and I wasn't sure what to expect from in-person tournaments. This helped a lot!
This is without a doubt my favorite video of yours. Everything is described perfectly, questions I’ve been asking since I started playing have been answered. I am forever thankful.
Yes this was the most comprehensive video I’ve seen so far never played tabletop before I hope I can make some
First regionals is in my city I hope to meet i among other amazing players and content creators! 🥳💯💯
I appreciate not only the price breakdowns but the perspective you've given. I've learned so much more beyond just the competitive tournament structure
Don't forget if you can, try getting coupons for fast food. Most fast food restaurants have apps that have deals that are a steal. Free drink, free fries, free nuggets. Straight up sometimes free entrée items. Save as much as you can!
4:38 That's how I got 80% of my invite LOL. Definitely the hard way to do it and very dependent on the area you live in (due to the number of local events).
Very exciting stuff. Glad you took the time to cover the competitive circut for all of the new players. Hopefully it will make the transition from online to IRL seemless.
$50 for a dinner out you say? So like $12 for the food and $38 for the booze. Yeah, that adds up 🍻
collinsville is my hometown, i cant wait for them to host again so we have the opportunity to go to the local and the indiana events. my little brother has been having so much fun doing the local casual play free tournaments and has been doing better each week
I remember going to a store by me and this little kid got invited to the junior division and then Covid happened. I can’t imagine how bad he felt
Will say that locals are a much easier way to get your invite if you are a junior or senior. The player pool is much lower, so it's way easier to fill out your invite with local finishes than most masters division local scenes
I’m so hyped! I started buying up new cards for tournaments the second Covid started with the hopes of Covid ending quickly. As we all know, that didn’t happen but I’ve got a pretty decent irl deck,. Extremely helpful video!
I'm hopeful I can attend my first regional next year. Here's to 2022 and the Championship Series' Returns!
Thanks so much for the video, really looking forward to my first tournament, and especially regionals.
Bro I totally understood you with the whole Subway thing 😂 Screw paying for food when I can just starve and still destroy my opponents
Love this vid! Very similar to competing in fighting game events, in almost every aspect. I’d love to see a detailed vid about tournament etiquette, manners, behavior rules etc? A great vid was made by megacapitalG for yugioh tournaments but I’ve yet to see a vid like that for pokemon tcg tournaments
I've been playing since 2016 and I didn't start getting good until shortly before covid go figure so I'm so ready for tournaments to come back
Hoping to go to the Orlando Regional. Can't wait!
Very informative. Thanks!
Andrew are you going to Indianapolis? I'd love to meet you if you are
Definitely going to regionals, my lcs have been having in person tournaments for quite a few months now. Excited :)
When you live in Hawaii and the island you live on doesn’t have a big Pokémon scene
This was super helpful! Now to try and find friends in my area to split hotels with 😂
Super great and super useful!
Love the video bro. I will say that league challenges and cups are a different dynamic in a place like Virginia where I am since they usually are only about 40 or so people. Over there in Ohio you guys get ridiculous turnouts nearing 100 players which definitely eliminates the possibility of just grinding those out for an invite.
He shows his stats and they didn’t have more than 30-40 for most challenges
@@mr.fluffypantz4150 Oh I didn't see that. Although I'm sure Cups are a different story. My brother goes to OSU so I know he's been in a few 7 round cups when organized play was still up.
im looking to play just for the experience and maybe win some lol can not wait
I just want to play in person and met people i have got close to online. Im going to the Indianapolis, IN.
I like these long discussion videos. Thanks for saying what you said 💯
By the way, if you are a master you need 500 points. If you are a senior you need 400 points. And for junior it is 350
Imma wreck fools with Frosmoth while it’s still legal. Ice Daaaaaaance!
Now I really gotta get on that organizer test.
I would like to start play tcg and go to tournments. New in here. Hope for the best and for events around the Europe (I'm in Italy) and why not, in the world.
Very excited to go to Secaucus's regional, I think it's the only one I'll be able to make since it's really close to me, but still very excited!
Two questions:
1) do we use the same deck for every event or can we bring multiple decks?
2) If you go to regionals but fail miserably are there still other activities to do or will you be bored for the rest of the event?
Lots of side events! You won’t be bored! You have to play the same deck all day at the main event but in side events you can play what you want!
@@TrickyGym thanks for the response, any chance you’ll make a video on top 5 decks to use during these events?
This was a great video, really helpful!
I've gotten cozy for the last 11 years haha
Cracker barrel! Love their blueberry pancakes. What part of the US are you from?
Thanks for this video. I haven’t gone to a local league in just over a decade. I’m looking to get back into it. I have a deck now. I found a league about 40 mins away (local one has shut down since last playing). I wasn’t sure how all this worked on the more competitive side, which is what I’m looking to get into.
Covid has really thrown a wrench in a lot of this. How many great decks were never able to be play competitively since things have been shut down or did they extend rotations?
I'm very excited for live events,
Would love to join the fun instead of watching for once, just can't decide on a deck. 🤔 Lol
Thanks for this video
Do you apply for a regional championship beforehand, or do you get in and pay the entry fee there?
Damn idk if imma be placing in the top 10 for regionals 🤣
Nice Video! 👍
i am sooooooooo happy
This is gonna be a hard GRIND to attend worlds going at this with 0 CP so wish me luck!
Hey Mahone! Love the video/channel like always! Keep it up stay safe hope you reach 80K subscribers and have an amazing night! 😁👍
I'm really determined to get my foot in the door for the Pokémon TCG competitive scene but I'm too worried about getting absolutely curb stomped since I've never participated in any live events. I have done locals for YGO but I know that's a very different beast. It just feels scary, really.
Awesome video like always
its laughable that people get upset that some players get a world invite from playing league challenges and cups. the grind of winning 16 league cups and challenges is a very challenging.
I don't know how to feel about him breaking down how to save money by sleeping on floors. like ive been there but like people can figure this out on their own.
So.... look forward to 2023
When you live 20 minutes from Indy
Appreciate the video!
You forgot to mention bananas 🍌 that’s what wins tournaments 🏟
I hope there's a tournament here in my country.☹️
Found this very helpful
I've only started playing during the pandemic and can't wait to get down to some events. I've been looking to attend the Liverpool regional, does anyone know how to actually register though!?
Sorry if it's covered in the video and I missed it, looked everywhere and can't find anything on the pokemon site...
madison regionals are back lets go.
Does the Friday of regionals have side events for byes for Saturday?
Why arent you the world champion yet
Great video.
ill see you at worlds
So does local cost and if so how much?
I wish more regionals were driveable for me most seem like theyre in the us
I’m going on 50 and new Pokémon player. I’m going to goto Indy regionals and play because I think it will be fun. I do have a question tho if someone can help me. I plan on taking 3 decks because I’m not super sure which I wana play yet. Do you play same deck on both days? Also Indy has a Friday till Sunday date. What happens on Friday?
Friday is just prep vendors and side events. Saturday is day one, if you qualify for day two then you have to keep the same deck. If you don’t make it to day two you’re welcome to play in side events Sunday with whatever deck you want !
Is it worth even trying to qualify if you don’t already have previous points
Can't wait to start playing again do u know which regionals is standard
All of them
@@TrickyGym thank
does anyone know when pre registration starts? or do u just show up early to these? i know yugioh only did day before pre reg but now have pre reg for next year already going for the ycs's
Registration information should be available early next year
@@TrickyGym ah kk. i check the event thing and it just says nothing atm so wasnt sure. do i check back on that then and it will give the info?
I think I may have missed a thing. Did I retain my Championship Points from 2019 Season?
So if I had like 250CP do I only need to gain another 250CP?
Or I have to restart it all again?
You retain your points from the 2019-2020 season yes
Can tell me what’s the link to the discord? Thanks
What is the entry fee for Regional and International events ?
I see some more tax right offs have arrived! Looking very awesome Andrew!! 😂😂
pretty sad that regionals in eu are only in deutsch once per year x-d
wdym they're in Liverpool this year and 3 more spe in other countries
My son got top 4 at worlds in 2019 and got his auto invite for 2020. Would of moved to seniors. Do you know what happens to his auto invite or how it works with all this?
Probably transfers
@@BrandoMan I'm not sure. I've heard it doesn't because it's been 2+ years, I've heard yes, I've heard he only has to play day 2, and heard day 1. So I have NO clue what's right
All the best to all of you. Pokemon unite!
I have 130 boosters unlocked. Should I open before pokemon tcg live?
gather 20 more and take the crystals for live
@@j.w.213 thank you!
How do I check how many points I have on my acount ?
The account I used for region
What does the kicker that was written next to all the points mean?
Kicker is the minimum number of players in the event needed for points to pay out that far.
For instance in league challenges, the 5-8 place kicker is 24, so if only 23 people play then 5th-8th place don’t get points.
@@Willyazaa thank you
Now how to juggle high level Pokémon with high level jiujitsu lol
Haven't finished the vid yet but presumably rip new players
Edit: I guess it's just a warm-up season.
Why rip new players ?
@@TrickyGym 5:46
Not done watching yet tho
If you are new to irl events I wouldn't chase for the invite on the 1st season anyways. Also this season will just be the 2nd half of the 2019/2020 season we missed
hi
Hello!
First
Congrats! :)
Do u still have to wear dumb masks?
Bland and repetitive. Seems like you just made this video because you had to, not because you wanted to. I say this constructively and with respect.
Why would I spend an hour talking about something if I am “just doing it because I have to”
I don't rlly see much about that being constructive.

Bad take
