12:20 the people who work the events mainly are local card shop judges for pokemon tournaments.. but they build a resume over the season by judging or volunteering at big events like regionals.. typically they get good promos but mainly do it out of passion.
Previously, judges were paid in tcg products and received some travel and food accommodations. They “volunteered” in that they were not paid money, but they were compensated. Starting this competitive year, they are paid money for their time. I do not recall if they are paid in the currency of the country the tournament is hosted in, or if it’s always USD.
Yeah many players or people don’t really know how much work judges do to keep this tournaments going! Am for little to nothing it is all about the experience!
@@eddyvega5501 yess same definitely was nice but I can understand why he went the way he did views are way better but he just need to post atleast once a week or every other week
Hahaha man we got really cheap in this day and day I remember ( while I was a Judge) VS which was a marvel/DC TCG game from back in the 2000’s it was paying like $5000 on top 8 am like around 10-15 to the winner! Good times! Also I would like to clarify that in the beginning there was no big tournaments like today! Everything started at your local Toy R’ Us store am Wizard Of The Cost stores!!!! It was not until Yu-Gi-Oh started going hard on Pokemon by doing reginals am staff that Pokemon or a company affiliated to Wizards did the Super Trainer Showdown! They did 4-5 of them one took place in Hawaii! After they so how good it when am the Tabasco with Wizards lol it became what it is now! Kids learn your history! Lol
@@sarabande__ if there one thing I can say it’s easier to be a pro player now than it was back in earlier generations cause the internet was not that advanced and Pokémon showdown is a valuable resource for those who want to know the math of stat changes. But that’s the problem so many people can become that good so having the right genetics can give someone an edge over someone who needs hours of practice.
The guy who got 2nd for Pokémon go, sold his card immediately right after the match apparently for an undisclosed amount. But said “for a lot of money”
not gunna lie that prize pool is kind of a joke for how much money TPCI makes. compare that to any other big gaming thing or even chess and it's like 1/10th the prizes or less
@@Squidmoto3 you know I thought that at first until I played it and watched the competitive play. It is a way watered down version of a MOBA but there are some good players and the strategy is still there.
@@punkeroc i've played plenty of it and I've played thousands of hours of league and dota 2. the difference is immeasurably large. yes there is *some* strategy, but there is for pogo too.
YES!!! That's exactly her name (Mrs Linda Westley ) so many people have recommended highly about her and am just starting with her from Zagreb Croatia 🇭🇷 .

Selling an account is against their terms of service anyway. So I don't think any of the winners would risk their accounts for that.
Hey Brandon I’ve been waiting for you to post, it’s been a while! ❤
2:30 people don’t actually realise how mad that is 👏👏
This channel is THE channel Brandon. Keep it up man, love this stuff
This was pretty fun to watch!
A couple years ago they made the mistake of making the worlds promos basically the only competitive stadium
We need more uploads on this channel 🫡
I miss the daily vlogs

So glad to see a new post from you on here.
This reminds me of the World Series of poker but Pokemon
1:07 clip from moments before disaster
Awesome vid! Loved it!
There is a lot of naive people who think that to become a pro player is possible it’s like the realistic version of saying the tooth fairy is real.
Incredibly difficult but possible
Umm dude so where did the pro players come from? Did they just appear?

i would love you to learn the tcg and try to get good it would be a great inspiration for a lot of people

oh really
@@Inadequance yes inadequence we know its u lol congrats
Way too slept on channel ❤
@6:06 it's the same pose but different cosmetic.
Pokemon go is the reason i lost my black cat he should still be here

Crazy how sought after these cards are and what people are willing to do/pay 😅

And those other big gaming esports events are suffering from the esports bubble pop and slow growth
What is the social media to follow the top 3 guy in pokemongo?
MartoGalde is his username. He streams on Twitch.
Is this a reupload or something? I can tell this is stolen but I can’t find the original
no, this is one of his other channels
@@cheeseman529 oh I’m dumb lol
Awesome video!
Great video
Any chance Bradly martins your brother

Is there such a thing as a professional Pokemon player? Does anyone make a living from this game except for a few content creators?
Tord Reklev would fall under this category. He plays it for a living and I don't believe he makes content.
Was just about to mention Tord 😂
Wait why didn't you mention how much the Pokémon Unite players made?!?
its probably very similar, but also that game is a joke
@@Squidmoto3 it way more entertaining to watch than PoGo PvP. Lol and it's gaining traction.
@@punkeroc Not wrong, but pogo is awful so thats not saying much. it's a moba for children. the skill cap is so low compared to any other moba

Use ACE grading instead of PSA? Help your UK buddy Randolph with his business!
why would you use a grader that no one values? CGC would be x10 better and people don't ever care about that
@@Squidmoto3 if no one uses it, it wont become valuable, the more people use it, the more established and valuable it will become
Psa was at the event grading on site
Stop supporting psa crappy standards and management and go to beckett, or even cgc with their new transition. Screw psa
