Noice.


I'm really hyped for this one. There's so many new things and the meta hasn't been too established that I hope to see some really creative and diverse teams.

Even though the format is still new, am interested to watch the top players use any paricular teams/archetypes/Pokemon in this tour. Definitely might set the tone for the season, so look forward to watching it.

In my mail it also said the player check-in was at Thursday evening together with late registration so we have to be there on Thursday already either way right, even when you did pre-register?

[Vinnie]

Cool, will definitely be watching

[WolfScythe]

Good to know! It will be fun to watch.
Cheers for those who will take part of it!

[Kayo]
