3 status conditions from dire claw and 2 crucial crits in that game one must’ve been painful for maurice especially with how well he was playing. glad he was still able to win it

[FrameManiac]

Respect to Charlie for wearing the mouse ears for the whole set.

[milliejeanvgc]

I think a small, but essential act of professional courtesy would be for the announcers to learn the names of the players. They pronounced Michael Kelsch's name three different times during his round. Write their name down, spell it out phonetically so you pronounce it right every time you say it. Give the players that respect.

That last match was intense, such a chess match, it's why I love vgc

[fabiocarvalho]

Alex Soto's third set, turn 1 play was amazing! *Spoiler*








I wish it had been discussed and covered in the winner's interview. :(

[carpedayumm]

Commentary was so insightful and dialed in compared to the gab from the US commentators, imo. Good rapport between commentators with actual back and forth, not just on their own soapbox.

[aperson]

This format is so much more fun to watch than the restricted/legendary fest that was Worlds. People can actually use spice and make it work really well.

[veterannd]

Side note: The LotR-based names in the first match are absolutely hilarious

[rasmusforchhammer]

Frederico really lucked out with that confusion

[Joeybanananas]

Hey guys the vod is messed up. You can only rewatch the last 3 hours. And it starts in the middle of a round 5 battle.

I know mistakes happen. So I'm not mad. But is there any chance this will be fixed? Regionals vgc matches are the highlight of my weekend a lot of times!

[TeacupVGC]

Where’s the damage onto the Primarina??

[josephtucker]

Matteo really felt like he threw that last match.

[Foot]

6:23:06 Eloy should have used will o wisp!

[lukijez]

Its really a shame that the VOD is broken here, the twitch app is truly horrendous to use

[superbizko]

1 hour between stream sets is inexcusable, find a way to stream the other matches so we don't wait around looking at canned interviews and dead air for an hour.

[XgilPlay]

3:23:06 bruh why they zoom in on bro like that? 💀💀

[volvagia]

Why is Machamp in the thumbnail when it doesn't exist in the Scarlet/Violet games

[AmeeRikkan]

Finally they stopwatch using the same pokemon I love this new meta

[concipiente]

4:58:48 why didnt this guy used trick room
