two GCs in a row where my final standing is mid, I think my main issue is that I haven't really been enjoying the game much recently

I think I might just load up Articuno in the next GC and see how that goes since using the bird was the most fun I ever had in VGC

I've never been outplayed as badly as I have in my GC game against Markus today, he's so good

this holds mainly for balance teams where you can realistically lead any combination of the 6 mons and it will do well

when using hyper offense teams following the report feels way better because its pretty flowchart based, you can basically map how the game goes in team preview

idk if im just bad or what but everytime i try to use preset leads written in team reports it never goes well, even if I've never used a team before and the author of the report is the creator of the team, i always feel like trusting my intuition works better for me instead of following the report

i saw he also mentioned that video again in his most recent video which was really cool too

i wish i could meet wolfe in the future and thank him in person for making the articuno video, even a whole year later it feels amazing to see the best player ever and a huge inspiration make a really well-narrated story about it

[Gen 9] VGC 2025 Reg G (Bo3): Ruben branzini vs. MareeohYT - Replays - Pokémon Showdown! Watch a replay of a Pokémon battle between Ruben branzini and MareeohYT! Format: [Gen 9] VGC 2025 Reg G (Bo3); Date: Feb 15, 2025

the way Ruben Gianzini plays Calyrex Shadow is really cool, he manages to not make Calyrex Shadow an immediate tera target and that makes the rest of the team so much stronger

replay for example from a recent NPA game: replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen9vgc2025r...

for the past 4 years I've only used Sennheiser Momentum 3 and it finally broke down recently, I bought new earphones yesterday and damn the audio sounds so mid compared to what I previously used. Sennheisers are so elite in sound quality

this is so cool, such a nice move for eSports in general through bringing in the chess fanbase to this world

it would probably be pretty easy to figure this out using North American players since basically everyone there uses LinkedIn, but that task becomes way harder across the Pacific Ocean cause for some reason it seems like the majority of top EU players do not use LinkedIn at all

it's pretty obvious in vgc anyway that it would be some math heavy degree, the main thing I'm interested in is what non technical degree does best and how do players with both those degrees do

for example a math + psychology double major would be best but I wonder how it actually is in practice

I wonder if there has been research conducted to see what college degrees align with success in strategy games, chess would probably be the easiest one to collect data for and it aligns with vgc too because both require a lot of pattern recognition and logical thinking skills

it's pretty interesting how diverse the backgrounds of vgc players are, there are people with PhDs from elite schools in extremely technical fields and on the other end you have people who consistently do well with their strength being in having a strong business acumen

the Papa John's guy on shorts (doughtoli) inspires me with how passionate he is, I hope I can find something that makes me feel the same way

Alice in Borderland is the only real good Japanese TV show I can think of that aired in the last 10 years, everything else good is animated
