San Fran and Back Again, Perfect Blue, Sleeper Hits for Phoenix, and the Top 5 NA “My time in California this year was just an absolute blast. This was the first real vacation I have been able to take in years and I cannot even begin to talk about the wonders it did for my psyche and mental health. Two weeks before the World Championships took place, I ventured out west and stayed for about a week and a half at a house in Berkeley with my long-time friend and teammate Mees Brenninkmeijer and several other players from the Netherlands. During this time, we were able to do a ton of sightseeing and of course begin…
North American PTCG Power Rankings #4 (Post-Primal Clash Edition) “Like the first couple of iterations of the Power Rankings, I have decided to use this “bubble” spot to highlight a player who has narrowly bubbled out of a big top cut. David placed 9th at the Kansas City Regional Championships which ended his incredibly impressive streak of making top cut at major events. This streak dated all the way back to the Florida Regional Championship in February and included a top cut placement in all four weekends of State Championships. David was one of only two players to accomplish this feat during States and he even used a variation on…
North American PTCG Power Rankings #3 (Post-Winter Regionals Edition) “Oh what an exciting player to introduce to the list. If you have followed the competitive scene for any amount of time, this name is probably very familiar to you. As a three-time World Champion, it is hard to make an argument against Jason not being a shoe-in for the “Greatest of All Time.” However, outside of Worlds, he is always faulted for having some lackluster performances at smaller events. I have decided to included him at #10 because he placed very well at Winter Regionals. I was (un)lucky enough to play him at both St. Louis and Florida and…
North American PTCG Power Rankings (Vol. 2) “Initially, I had planned on keeping this list to a consistent 10, but I couldn’t help but give Mia and honorary 11th place once again. Recall last time that she held the number 11 spot on my last rankings following her 11th place finish at the World Championship. At the Regional Championship in British Columbia, Mia once again showed her affinity with the number and bubbled at an unfortunate 11th place. What makes this achievement more noteworthy is that she was still piloting the ol’ faithful Darkrai/Dusknoir which everyone had written off as being illegitimate. Props to Mia for sticking to…
2014 North American PTCG Power Rankings (Pre-Autumn Regionals Edition) “Of course, how could I make a ranking list without including the player who rightfully holds the title for “Best in the World?” Andrew may have been a lesser-known player heading into Washington, DC, but now he will be the player that is on everyone’s mind. His Virizion/Genesect list was a perfect model of consistency and surely his results will be closely monitored for many years to come. Will he be a one-hit wonder or quickly solidify himself as a legend? At this point, I’m not sure if any player has ever made as strong of a conversion from the…
It anchors itself in the ground with its single leg, then basks in the sun. After absorbing enough sunlight, its petals spread as it blooms brilliantly. (Gossifleur)
