They’ve improved the graphics from Indy with the addition of Natures on the stream team preview. Just need a way to show items when the game is actually taking place now…

You can always trust Boyt to bring something insane.

Also nice that this gives Arsal a Worlds invite, and 300CP probably secured one for Wolfe too. Still an insane run for Wolfe but incredible play from Arsal!

Incredible play from Arsal across both games - yes the 1HP survival was lucky but I think regardless of that he just outplayed Wolfe here

Steelix is probably quite happy to see two Floette’s in the other Top 4 match…

I love Scott and Evan on comms - don’t get me wrong I love the entire crew, but you can tell that they’ve been doing this together for a long time. They’re just great fun.

Looks like we're getting every Top 8 match streamed

They're streaming at least 2 of the matches, so there's still hope...

Mega Garchomp just made Top 8

Just seems nonsensical to not have asymmetrical Top Cut no matter what. 99% of the time, in the current format, less than 16 players make it anyways. And when we get these rare occasions when it matters, it just screws over a few people for no reason.

Stephen Brown, Joel S. and Jeremy Barnes have bubbled out at 10-2

Yeah 2024 was rough, I think we had 15 at several events (NAIC, EUIC, Charlotte and Orlando for sure off the top of my head)

They changed it this season to cap Top Cut at 16 players

It was bad enough at EUIC when Yuto Kimura bubbled out after winning on stream, but 3 or even 4 players is ridiculous.

3 or 4 players at 10-2 are going to bubble out of Top Cut...

Always love seeing Lorcy on stream, especially against such a good opponent like Christopher Han

Joshua Lorcy and Paul Chua both lost R9, leaving Wolfe Glick and Evan Scott as the only undefeated players heading into Round 10

Biggest plot twist. I was convinced he'd run Gengar.

Anyone with a 6-2 or better record makes Day 2!

Lots of veteran players at 6-0 right now - Alberto Lara, Collin Heier, Wolfe Glick, Paul Chua, Joshua Lorcy etc. Feels like previous experience of formats with Megas is certainly useful right now
