[@TheRealChary]

I love how you explain what the cards do and how you felt throughout the matches! Great video! 🔥

[@okJLUV]

thanks chary :D :D

[@fletchmace]

I really like the format of how you talk about card attacks. Gives beginners an easier time understanding what you're talking about

[@taco_6134]

This has genuinely inspired me to take the TCG more seriously, and start playing more consistently and competitively! What a legend! I would love so much to experience worlds, and competitive TCG at the peak level of competitive play!

[@BenjeKazooie]

Legendary video, love the informative parts too, really insightful as a learner! And the main reason to go to worlds is to watch you lift the trophy man!

[@springleaf8961]

Very inspiring video!! loving how u vlog your entire pokemon journey in this tournament!! keep it up!! definitely waiting for more videos from you!! Really hope to join you in the journey physically too! hehe

[@madi8481]

Such a sick video, watching you learn the TCG this year has been a really fun journey!! World’s is going to be historic and awesome!

[@okJLUV]

glad to have you be a part of it madi, thank you for always watching!!

[@dinges88]

I love the way you explain what is happening during the matches. As someone who is just getting into the game it can get a bit overwhelming and your videos really help! Hope you make it to worlds, I'm rooting for you!

[@emericag6]

Really enjoyed the recreation of your matches in EUIC, informative and creative, great vid man!!! Oh just reroll this if I win, and get me a souvenir 😂

[@oldmanketchum]

I love how you made this video! It's like a travel channel Pokémon series with the best KZbinr as the host! Great job mate!!

[@Safari_Mart]

Hey JLUV found your channel not too long ago. It's clear your videos are improving with each one. Loving the content, just subbed up.

[@BurtsPTCG]

Genuinely I think this is the best TCG video I've ever seen

[@PixelwolfieStudio]

Thank you for going into such detail for the TCG. For someone who just collects for the art alone, this actually makes me wanna play/attempt to play the game. All the best in your journey, pretty damn sure you're gonna crush it Julian!💪

[@justinkeiper7723]

I've been collecting Japanese Pokemon cards for 15 years now and always dreamed of going to Japan to experience the Pokemon birthplace!

[@CortesArts]

Man you crushed it with this video, best of luck at Worlds! Would love to join you in Yokohama to experience my first Worlds ever, and my first time in Japan ever 😄

[@ChristenNoel]

Love this video! And dangit, I was so hype for you to get your 200 T.T Next time!

[@HarryWest19]

Really enjoying these style of videos, definitely worth the wait! Did trigger me a little about that bloody bridge though, the lift not working after a long day was brutal 😂

[@DJMilez]

I love you JLUV 😭. Sorry to hear about your devastating loss at the end. Keep on trucking through dude I believe in ya 🙏 💪

[@andrewzpeng]

The pokemon hobby has been wonderful so far, meeting people, collecting, and learning to play the game. I'd love to be able to go to Japan to watch the best players compete and practice myself!

[@DamaCollectsCards]

Cinematic masterpiece. Also, crazy how you can literally win that many games with no loses and still not qualify/advance. Goes to show how difficult the TCG really is in a competitive tournament.

[@okJLUV]

dama, thank you truly, means a lot to hear that from ya!! and yep, it's cut throat, but that's what makes winning feel so much better haha

[@perrypoppins]

Wow, you are such a great storyteller. I love how real and human this video feels. Even though its hard, failure is our greatest teacher. It is how we grow as people should we choose to learn from it :) Congrats on qualifying for worlds🎉 Rooting for you JLUV!

[@PokeJebel]

Fascinating watch! Started playing the actual game around 2 months ago, definitely getting a better appreciation for the grind that is playing the TCG. Awesome stuff

[@OfficialDarkTV]

Bro your videos are super fun to watch. Love that you can explain gameplay while showing us what the events are like. Killing it bro 🔥

[@curtvision]

This has to be one of your best vids so far! This new format with educating us the audience with how the game actually works and the terms for them! Big ups to you

[@kigas24]

+1 for using Iono's theme, such a banger song

[@GethinWills]

Great video! I had played through all 9 rounds at EUIC and I learnt so much! Finished 3-5-1 but had an absolute blast 💪

[@reginaldvonduesberry4126]

Got loads of respect for anyone that can make it to worlds in the masters division. Seriously competitive players out there!

[@rewrun]

I love videos like this! Going through each match and showing the key cards. Love it.

[@donny2573]

I've only ever competed locally at VGC many years ago. Was always a dream to watch the world championships in none other than Japan as it was always too far away in the USA and it would be amazing to meet you!

[@andybevington]

What a rollercoaster. But what an inspiration to keep going, keep pushing! EUIC was eye opening, I loved it and I want to compete more.

[@Tim_mtz_]

Respect the time you take for these videos and the educational lessons on the tcg, turning collectors like myself into competitors 🙌

[@okJLUV]

never too late to start!!

[@Ian6ccc]

Loved the reenacting and explanation of the matches. Must have taken super long to edit but totally worth it. IAN 6 still wants his rematch.

[@pokejay4073]

I don't even play the TCG and this video was so great, well done J, love your work ❤

[@ProfessorRex]

This video goes so freaking hard. Honestly, your editing style and the process of even recording re-enactments of your matches is so admirable ❤ I’m going to keep my eye out for you at Worlds because I want to tell you how impressed I am in person. Downloading your backlog for the flight 😻😻😻

[@Mudkip_Trader]

This video was amazing, really reminds me of wolfe glick's videos explaining the VGC side and his run in tournaments. If I did end up going to Japan it would absolutely complete a life goal of mine!

[@Oiracam91]

Rooting for you! Would love to attend a world championship in person to show all my students that card games can still allow you to travel and meet new people.

[@Sebbos]

would start playing the game, if you made a tutorial series. Been thinking about trying it out, but don't know where to start learning it. GG's dude

[@RedawNLIVE]

Brother, the horror when you said you forgot your pass!! Congrats on getting back there to compete and well done either way, you're doing great!

[@kev_G]

This video had me sweating, in a good way! Such a fun way to share how intense the pokemon card game can get! Congrats again on getting to worlds and we will all be rooting you on!

[@okJLUV]

thank you Kev :)

[@kev_G]

I want to go to worlds so I have a slight chance to not pay 10x for that promo pika 🫠

[@TheAbeGames]

Dang there is so much strategy I had no idea man, awesome video. I would love to watch this live at a big tournament sometime!

[@turbokb1]

Cheers JLUV! Love what your working towards keep at it brother. I already have plans to visit Japan in October so unfortunately won’t have time to consider Worlds. Looking forward to it though!

[@deggers]

THIS! Every time you get me hyped for playing the tcg. I honestly think this video was insanely well edited and narrated. Keep it up Julian ❤

[@okJLUV]

you legend deggers!!! glad ya liked it :D

[@ferzap4c]

Bro! You are INSANE! Fingers crossed that I get to see you at Worlds, I still havent given up yet, hoping to secure a pass >.

[@openedmango]

Dang man, the quality and level of effort of this video and matches you played were amazing! Wish you the best!

[@okJLUV]

thank you mango!!!

[@LinkedProject]

I was thinking about competing in regionals and recording my journey aswell and now I discovered your video, which is absolutly graeat produced btw. The part where you unfortunately forgot your pass and showed the map was so exciting. I'am looking for a testing group online and around germany, because the next regional is confirmed to be in France. I hope I have better luck getting the one crazy prize card 😋

[@Darkrei2]

I've never been to Japan before and this would be an amazing experience. Also to meet a lot of the okjluv discord members ❤

[@theshadowking666]

I want to go to the Word Championship in Japan because I recently got into the Pokémon TCG and I think watching professionals play at World would help me learn and improve my skill! Also since this is the first Word Championship in Japan (Pokémon's country of origin) that makes it extra special

[@asleepydude5941]

Nice vlog and frankly id love to go to world cause seeing the competitive scene is such a inspiration to keep playing no matter what, cause you’re in a community that is about learning and growing and most important, winning

[@RuukasuUnrio]

I recently got back into competitive play about a year ago, and managed to compete in one regionals. Hoping I can attend more this coming year!

[@KimtheCollector]

Love this!! I'm so excited to see the rest of this journey!

[@doubledragonite4393]

Awesome video! I'm new to the competitive game, so going to Worlds would be nuts and an unforgettable experience!

[@UncleNoms]

A trip to worlds would be the best way to finally get to cross the Pacific and see one of the most beautiful countries in the world. Oh, and shiny cardboard is nice too I guess

[@NawiPokemon]

Still love how you take the time to switch focus to telling the viewers how a card or strategy works. Been waiting for this video and was definitely worth the wait, you can tell how much effort you put into this video ❤ Looks like you played extremely well and learnt a lot doing so. Shame you didn't get to day 2 for the points but hey that's what Italy ended up being for 😂 I've always wanted to go to Japan, as I'm sure many people have too. But seeing as I couldn't meet up with you at EUIC in my home country, maybe Japan is a better place than any to do so 😂 Good luck out there man, and more importantly, enjoy your time there! ❤

[@okJLUV]

cheers legend!! been awesome seeing you pick up the game over the last few months and take your play further, it'll only be a matter of time before you start making huge strides at Regionals and ICs if you keep it up. hehe Italy saved the season, that's the next chapter ;P and hopefully we can cross paths finally!!

[@NawiPokemon]

@okJLUV Still got a long way to go but by next regionals I'll definitely be more prepared! And hopefully I'll be in more of a better financial position too to make it to more ICs. Good luck out there in Japan!!!

[@RahulReddy]

Banger video, always much love

[@tylermorris690]

Your vid was so good JLuv, loved the story telling, you took us on the journey with you, well done!

[@okJLUV]

Thanks Tyler, for being here every step of the way :’)

[@clawtooth9231]

You have inspired me to learn to play. My dream is to be able to compete in tournaments when I retire early in a few years. Would love to attend worlds in Japan to see one live.

[@bad-4443]

I remember playing pokemon with my mates in the schoolyard using awful decks with whatever we could get our hands on. Im getting back into the tcg scene so if I could go to Yokohama to experience top tier battles firsthand it'd be an amazing experience!

[@TheKanick88]

When I grow up I'll travel to Japan. I'm currently 64 - wait, wha? My sons and I have been collecting Japanese cards since purchasing our first booster boxes back in 1999.

[@TheTLV]

Loved the Kingdom Hearts sound effects! Great video

[@TasteVeng3]

It was great to meet you at EUIC. Congrats on qualifying and best of luck at worlds!

[@nuggetoftruth865]

I'm kinda sad I missed out on the Worlds lottery, going to Japan would be SUCH a fun experience! But it'll be fun watching others' experiences for sure.

[@winonacc]

taking Pat's "every video a gift" line to heart :') absolutely incredible entertainment, thank you!

[@okJLUV]

;D thank you mate!!

[@CapturealityExtras]

To see the worlds in person would be the greatest thing ever! Seeing all these inspiring people live their dream and be together with those have that same dream wow its definitely exciting!

[@DragonRollYumYum]

Good luck on the next one! You made this video feel exciting for someone who has never played ... well done!

[@DanNortonProduction]

Dude, such a fun way to document your journey! Can’t wait for the next one

[@okJLUV]

lesgo!! cheers Dan, for everything ;D

[@GyroEvelyn]

I don't even play the tcg and the way you explain it is super informative and entertaining. As for japan, I wanna see you win😘

[@lanceraiku]

This was so well made i dont even play the tcg i just collect but this was fun and insightful!

[@its_iKule]

Great vid J - really really enjoyed this one! Thanks for taking the time to hang out on day 2

[@regotale9529]

Another great video J loving the tourney povs! Good luck at worlds! 🎉

[@ayleen2501]

As a Japanese card collector and lover I totaly understand your wish and exitment for the Worlds in Japan ! Wish a day I could experience that as well. Lovely day !❤

[@millenniumvintage9726]

I’d love to go cause it’ll be the most historic worlds since probably 2005. Great video btw, playing at a high level can be stressful! Good luck!

[@okJLUV]

cheers mate, and good luck!!

[@kalunka988]

The likelyhood of you winning worlds is same as the likelyhood of me getting the eevee heroes "gym set" at PCJ, you got this bro.

[@PaleRiderTCG]

As a collector myself, much much respect to the players. They are the REAL comminty out there, the real reason the TCG makes sense as a whole. Much luck okJLUV, I'll be following the journey.

[@neohides]

That card looks baaanger. Best of luck to you man :)

[@Sacsovann]

Hoping to see vlogs of your experience competing in World. Going to World would amazing for someone coming to back into the hobby. Also seeing Japan is a goal.

[@Sylv]

I've been considering getting into playing the TCG recently so this is a fun video! Worlds would be so cool to visit, especially this year since I've always wanted to visit Japan!

[@theneicro]

I wanna attend because I want to cheer on my friends that qualified! (Like you :p) also I feel like being in the video should give me a bonus!

[@percyrog]

I respect the TCG scene so much. I respect what the community does for the community a lot like in this video what are you explaining. I never experienced an official event so I'm trying my luck and hopefully be in person at the venue

[@freshkarp]

this is such a fun and exciting video haha, who knew tcg would feel like such an adventure

[@trainerskitz]

this was intense good work mate. i felt tired just watching the chaos

[@TheLuxiverse]

Amazing video bro! Stay strong! We believe in you! 💪🏼😤

[@jakelazzari523]

I want to go to worlds to see my friends, binge sushi and play Pokémon. The 3 greatest things in life.

[@conneraddie]

Well, I come from a family that doesn’t have much money. I’ve never left the UK, so to be given the chance, especially in a country where my ever growing love for a franchise that I grew up alongside would be an absolute blessing. Either way, best of luck & massive congrats to the winner!

[@jordan_yendis]

Such good story telling. Loving the content lately.

[@aligreen6462]

Japan is top of my bucket list 😭but my real reason to want to go to Japan is to watch jluv take it all in person babyyyyy 🙏🔥 Amazing vid as always!

[@proccyboi]

Woww to be able to go to japan and appreciate not only the culture but be able to access pokemon cards like never before would be AMAZING

[@TimRemmers]

Would love to do some side events with my friend at Worlds!

[@PokeSteve69]

going to worlds sounds incredible. it would be my first and probable only event of that scale to view! and to go to japan would be a different worldly experience.

[@PokeSteve69]

also, would never be able to afford it due to medication/insurance cost lol. but its still a fun venture!

[@Milkfloatbandit]

Yes JLUV! This is the series we have been waiting for and the first episode did not disappoint. Great story telling. Can't wait for the next one.

[@okJLUV]

:D haha glad you loved it ben, been cooking it for a while

[@luckymon]

I really enjoyed this video. Awesome script and editing. Looking forward to the next tourney

[@naheedansari66]

You madlad, you better win this👊 Also, I wanna go to Japan to see Shibuya crossing irl. They been teasing me for far too long.

[@smollyordle1494]

amazing vid hope u get the COP on that amazing card

[@PaullyPuffin]

awesome video man! Radiant Greninja has been such a staple in all my decks 👍 I really enjoy the vlog/gameplay combo it's super unique, ill be sure to check out more! Traveling to Japan has been a dream of mine since my first pokemon game. Being able to embrace and experience the culture and FOOOD is something unmatched anywhere else in the world. Unfortunately it was apart of my plan this year until I went 0/5 on all the raffles to get in. wish you the best on your journey there! Maybe I will see you there 😅 *edit* shared on instagram idk where I was supposed to post it

[@UrAveragePlayer0]

I would love to go to Worlds! The reason is because I went to my first ever worlds last year, met up with so many people and made so many great memories. I met Chloe and Dean and I’m now working for them. These small choices and events can make such a huge difference ❤

[@joshwawryk5230]

The storytelling, editing, and quality of the footage is amazing. One of the few pokemon videos that keeps me engaged, well done! Going to Japan for world's is an amazing opportunity. Good luck to myself and everyone else who's entered!

[@MimikyuSquad410]

It has always been a dream of mine to go to Japan. I want to experience their culture and the food from a country so enriched in morals and dedication to their culture.

[@Varnzy20]

Been cool to follow your journey. Hold your head up high

[@MiKiPokeworld]

❤Love this video! So much energy and enthusiasm! 🇦🇺 Let’s go #teamaus #worldsyokohama🏆

[@91sparksy]

Forget playing in worlds. I want to be there when you win that NO.1 player card 😊

[@TCGTaj]

I want to go to worlds because I love Julian and want to see him again in person. Love you bro. Great video. Amazing.
