Top 4 Puebla!! The last 72 hours have been an absolute whirlwind. Incredibly proud of the performance. I had felt on the cusp of a deep run for a bit so I’m glad I was able to put it all together. When I started Vgc I never thought I’d be winning a medal!! Blaziken is my goat
Major shoutout to @NovacastVGC for help with matchups and for support throughout the tournament. Managed to beat this matchup once during the tournament, but couldn’t do it twice
6-1 to 7-5 at Baltimore. Must have got up on the wrong side of the bed Sunday because nothing went to plan. Happy to take my original starter to Day 2 and play a lot of strong players. Making Day 2 after barely prepping post Worlds feels like a win. Blaziken and Gambit cooked

Ended 3-5 at Worlds. Not the result I hoped for but 4/5 losses were decided by incredibly close game 3s so at least I proved I can compete at this level. My goal was to qualify but I want to keep improving. As a consolation prize I am now the top MausApe player in the world
Finished last season in champion tier. Somehow 100 people passed me in the last hour I guess but I’ll take it
2026 Season Recap
Finished 46th in NA with 971 Championship Points!
Set out to qualify for Worlds this season and got it done!
Hopefully I'm on the cusp of a deep tournament run and my GC results give me confidence that I can make it happen. Excited to compete at Worlds!!
Made Day 2 at NAIC. Really proud of my run. Last few days have really pushed my resilience both in game and irl to the limit and was able to overcome. Was already locked for worlds but still feels like a win. Goatgar
5-0 to 5-3 Top 128 at Orlando. Somehow managed to hit my worst matchup that had 10% usage four times in a row to close out the day. Disappointed but didn’t get much practice so can’t be too upset. Bright side is I should hopefully be qualified for worlds now 🥳🥳🥳🥳
Top 64 in Houston. Okidogi was a last minute addition and ended up being the star of the show. Was hoping I could’ve closed out top cut but happy I got to meet and talk to a lot of awesome people this weekend
20th at the Puerto Rico Special with the same thing I used to get Top 8 in the last GC. My luck in day 2 cooked me again but still proud of the result
Didn’t have time to play out the rest of my games but hopefully enough for top 8 NA. Started slow day 1 around 9-6 or so but finished 20-2 on days 2 and 3
Thanks for the paste @MimikyuFool and @pat_con5 and thanks for the last minute thoughts. Sorry I didn’t run specs 😅😅
