Competitive Pokemon's Invisible Rivalry

[@AzazeL_The_God]

I tried a new style for a tournament recap, please let me know if you enjoyed and want me to do more like this!

[@BarrettC9]

This channel is like Summoning Salt played VGC, I love it

[@rubengarza7359]

This is great! It’s always nice to get the players’ perspectives.

[@CosmicPharaoh]

Dude, this video was so dope

[@gpzeke908]

So, this is the first of your videos in my feed. It was an absolute banger. I really enjoyed it. I saw this comment and decided to go through your other stuff. It was good, but not really my speed. If you decide to pursue this style of content, I’ll happily consume it. Reminds me a lot of Gbay when he moved to more documentary style videos. Either way, I wish you the greatest success moving forward.

"Rivalry doesn't happen in competitive pokemon" - yeah, never seen anyone run that ability, it just doesn't add enough

[@nermomi]

only ever when people decided to run rivalry haxourus to check the genies

[@Dr._is_sleepy]

Gen 5

[@GarfieldTheLightning]

As a casual VGC viewer, I don't know a lot about each player's personality, community or rivalries. I really appreciate you letting me peek behind the curtain here and discover these aspects of VGC that the official stream doesn't focus on!

[@AzazeL_The_God]

I appreciate the kind feedback. Stay tuned for more stories like this

[@KindaKaon]

Fella you should not need to hear this but I love tje contributions to the vgc community these videos are. just know it’s so cool to have more documentaries esp of this quality. Love how you infuse narrative into a pretty structured bracket/event recap. Mainstage 2022 was a banger btw

[@DevHootie]

This was an excellent video essay. As a first year player trying to push for worlds, my favorite thing being in the community is listening to all the multiple stories and experiences of different players and friends. I hope you and many others produce similar content to this in the vgc space. Get to learn and know the amazing people apart of the community! Amazing vid!

[@Ddraculafactory]

This is the kind of content that needs to be emphasized for VGC to grow IMO, players and hardcore fans still love the technical stuff, but STORIES are what really draw people in and keep people engaged.

[@kyledabearsfan]

I think you were made for these kind of documentaries. The expert knowledge, the passion for the game, and the awesome script building/pacing. This channel is awesome, wish i found it before today lol

[@turndownforwalt]

GOOD VIDEO

[@ccralo]

goated, top 3 vgc documentary for how it keeps your attention span high and also for the quality for sure. can't wait for more

[@arininquotes8396]

Another banger AzazeL video? Yes please! Aside: I really love the narrative style of this video in particular, though I'm wondering how we feel about more narration throughout? To kind of give structure to different story beats? This is helpful for me personally for long videos (which I otherwise really love).

[@TheRenaSystem]

Absolutely love this format for the video, def keep up the more video essay-y ones, but I totally wouldn't mind more of this style too

[@AzazeL_The_God]

Noted!

[@UPRUnimeme]

Absolutely beautiful video, I've been a fan of toler ever since he appeared on stream for the first regionals i watched and getting to see his journey through this bracket and and insight on how he fights his own demons is..relatable as a competitor in my own right. Great work as always Azazel

[@AzazeL_The_God]

Thank you! I feel like many can relate to the "internal voice" of self doubt Toler spoke of. These are the perspectives I want more people to share and see

[@snare97]

Been watching and following vgc for a long time and just found your channel. This is revolutionary content for the space.

[@ajenkins1319]

Really cool to hear from the players about their real time thought process. The interviews and editing make for very compelling storytelling. Keep up the good work

[@lavender3084]

This video was super well done! The players are both really well spoken and I loved how they opened up about their doubts as well as how to overcome them. Awesome job 💜

[@XZacLee]

Amazing video, this is 100% a niche that needs to be filled! Incredible to hear the journey of the tournament from the finalists themselves and the greater context behind their careers as well! Job done perfectly, looking forward to seeing more!

[@DeosVGC]

Amazing video, you should be very proud of your work! I look forward to what is to come!

[@Evil-Olive]

Lovely recap of this rivalry. What is the song playing in the background around the 1:22 mark?

[@gabrielduguay5783]

Toler is such an articulate speaker! If I was in the scene, I’d love to be friends with him.

[@mattskord9178]

Hey this was a well edited, storied, and narrated video. Deserves more views but I believe you’ll find more with more quality like this. :)

[@viosworld]

this was a super cool watch im glad we have people making this kind of content in the scene, good shit

[@AzazeL_The_God]

More to come

[@josephnahas7270]
