As a fellow Dad I will almost certainly never get to go to one of these so great to see from your perspective

[@fatgosunerd]

Great self-reflection and analysis. Good showcase of how much prep and homework it takes ahead of these events to battle with the best. Glad you enjoyed the broader experience and atmosphere.

[@peterdempsey6204]

when you got into your 25-30, unmarried, no kids, more free time... wow did that hit home for this 35 yo with 2 kids who has become a much weaker battler since having less time. Thank you for making me feel like less of a scrub

[@Ace2500]

Don't worry you weren't the only one who messed up with team building... Nonetheless, it was great getting to meet you!

[@DanOttawaPOGO]

Nice meeting you as well

[@vincemasiello8221]

Thanks for sharing your experience Dan! Hope you attend the next one

[@kimmi929]

Great video and insights! I would love to have more team building series for each league, like the one you did "live" ahead of this event. Was super interesting to see the thought process live. Dont give up just yet Dan!

[@Zach-m9c]

I would love it if you did a video and broke down some of the top team comps from the tournament! I love the content, and I really appreciate the effort you put into making content for all of us dads the love pokemon out there!

[@ELMOisINNOCENT]

Every venue loves putting the Pokemon Go hive right by the fire exit in the corner dude 😂

[@michael.j.a.porter]

On the comment about players struggling to open the app. I definitely feel that. I think the schedule really hurts, I don’t want to play these limited meta cups for weeks in a row. It feels like I spend half the time playing these cups when really I just want to play open GL

[@joaquinnavajo3939]

Glad you went . Glad you had a good time.

[@BlackGoku42]

All things considered sounds like u did pretty good/as expected and you know where to fix your problems. Better luck next year!

[@aaronadams112]

Yeah it was 1000% stacked. Which was great for watching tbh. OMG you were paired with Mr tryhard multi regional winner LyleJeffsIII!?! His bro Blobb did well. You versus Yasser would have been cool.

[@Noxious9900]

I’m shocked you didn’t talk more about the game state. Felt like the consistent 1 turn lag and game issues really put a damper on the weekend

[@bradyspelbring1325]

need a montage for all the one turns, I was horrible to watch on stream day 2

[@idascheibye-alsing9803]

Playing pvp sometimes make me overthink as well - I get too busy trying to be smart and completely mess up my own game. I just recently entered my first local tournament. I remembered what you, Dan always say to do - and chose pokemon I know how to use. I think that is why I did okay and managed some wins against much more experienced players. Lesson learned: Do as Dan says.

[@Therealkarp]

I was competing in the TCG! Wish I had have thought of you being there. Big fan of your content and would have loved to come say hi. Hope to catch you next year!

[@Kassul42]

Hope life calms down a bit for you soon Dan. Looked like an interesting trip and definitely a stacked roster!

[@JordyyPlayz]

20:12 aye bro bro, just wanna say, i love your content and i learn so much from you. Keep up the helpful videos and also, never stop the rant videos because i feel the same way lol

[@Noxious9900]

It was a stacked weekend! It was great to meet you this weekend Dan! I agree the CP system needs some work

[@lastk1ngs636]

Great video. Thanks for the insight on how it goes down

[@akoehler107]

Good luck brother! Love your approach and your content and your overall attitude towards the game. Wishing you the best. Have fun and hope you get some good eats!

[@BlerdrevolutionBRGpls]

I think an easy resolution to Pokémon go regionals is for GO to be allowed to do Swiss rounds like every other Pokemon event .

[@peterdempsey6204]

I made similar mistake last year in Charlotte. This was the first regional post annihilape release. It was clear the top players did not bring Annihilape because they prioritized the pokemon they were comfortable with and were familiar with the matchups. Lessons learned for next time.

[@taylorcullimore]

I told myself I was going to take this season very seriously (GBL-wise) when it started recently. Unfortunately, part of my enjoyment of video games comes from playing with friends. My friends have either sold their accounts or drastically reduced the amount of time they put into this game. So I'm someone who was going to take the game more seriously, but am now rethinking this decision. I'm also a father and work 1.5 jobs.

[@MrTheKlunk]

Seeing Lyle in losers round 3 is rough. But yes your critique of your team nailed it too , not flexibile enough. That’s a good learning. See the positives.

[@jaysongoldsborough9889]

Back to my basement,where i belong 😭

[@HundoHub]

Good luck bro!

[@heavychef247]

I like the vlog style! Step up your camera work and get an external microphone to limit surround noise. I would have loved to see how the actual games are set up. Where do you enter your six selected pokemon? More behind-the-scenes footage. What I don’t get is when this is a regional tournament, why are international players allowed to compete?

[@ivarkristoffersson3282]

Good try! Learning!

[@GordonMandt-lf1ek]

Option 3! Learn the counts

[@apexarms5737]

S tier for effort! You'll get em next time!

[@madavis25]

I assume the audience can see if people are baiting or not. How do they keep reactions from the audience from getting to the competitors? Even just a gasp might give something away

[@DanOttawaPOGO]

Competitors have headphones on with music or game noise

[@ongaga9]

Great stuff!

[@SamXLVII]

16:57 hsssssssssssss! oof!! GGs man

[@imsotrash239]

We should raise some money for Dan to do another tournament where he plays his pokemon he knows that are meta relevant instead of how he did this event!

[@dadinside2940]

10:00 More power to 'em! And it's great for the game if more of them are playing GBL.

[@AchillesofOblivion]

I don't know why he's malding about his and other people's life choices

[@Titanopsis]

how was the lag in the matches? lag in big events like this is not good news

[@CurL488]

Next time if you team build a week or two prior and scrimm it against some friends or channel members in a stream, I think you’d have more confidence and could easily make a run my man. Insanely stacked regional though wow 🤯

[@bradyspelbring1325]

air slash mandibuzz, not wing attack

[@alfiesmullet1311]

But did you have fun and meet some cool people? That's the best thing about these events isn't it?

[@joshuagao2201]

I think you’re not giving yourself enough credit - you actually have a decent chance against some of these people imo. Like you said you still played relatively well and it sounds like you could’ve beaten some good players if you didn’t mismanage your team building. I don’t think you need to dedicate insane time to get good results, you’re already up there! That’s just my take though.

[@tylermartin4883]

30 eggs in and still not even one corsola yet

[@billyskinner9382]

Yeah, bad ideas abound😅 ive learned over the years playing s6p3 that meta wins most of the time. Also using mons your not confident in or newly built and never used is a bad idea

[@terrencemiltner1005]

Any event is going to have people competing for the title and a lot of pack fill. If you want to better, you probably have a better idea than most on how to do that. But those big players are spending way more time, money, and attention on the game. Do you really want to do the same to compete with them? A lot of events will do side events after players bust out of the main event. Maybe PoGo will do the same. Manage your expectations for next time. And yes, seeing the "pros" roll into town for those Worlds slots had to be discouraging. I've entered a lot of events with no expectations of winning. Hope you find your place in these events. Or would you rather just cover or commentate on the event and the meta at the event.

[@Blazinhahn]

I’m pretty sure you mean air slash mandibuzz not wing attack lol

[@gundudeRAIM]

That thumbnail took me out 😂

[@libradawg9]

You went in without Clodsire, sh Drapion or Gatr? You always have said do as you say not as you do, lol. The good news is team comp isn't something I expect to continue to be an issue with you. You absolutely keep your priorities in order but we all know you can churn out a winning team while changing diapers and watching a football game. And you didn't embarrass yourself, you beat someone.

[@minhnghiao5140]

hey letsgo dan

[@73PhlonRon23]

I think you meant Air Slash Mandi…

[@DanOttawaPOGO]

I did

[@tylerf6583]

Hey

[@AchillesofOblivion]

Old man malding because he didn't spend enough time training and blames his weak pull out game

[@FlimsyPickles]

10:07 umm 😅 bad take. This might be their favorite hobby. Doesn’t mean they don’t have family or jobs or responsibilities… and for a lot of people like Wolfe this is their job

[@DrinkingBird69]

But isnt that part of his point? The guy who's job it is to play the video game is better than others at the video game? Plus you have to remember...outside of the top 0.0001% like pokedaxi and mystic and those guys, Pogo is not a full time job for anyone with actual life responsibilities. Dan is probably in the top 5% for content creators and he said himself he makes at most $50-$70 per video. The bigger guys like Jonk and HomeSlice maybe make $100-$150 a video. Even with daily releases that's ~$3500/mo pre taxes. No shot people can have a family and live off that.... And those are the top PvP content guys. His statement rings true. A 25 year old with no children no mortgage and no spouse will be able to A- more easily support themselves with a POGO PvP full time job that pays monthly what most 35 year old family men make bi weekly. B- have more free time and expendable income to travel and play these events.

[@zwooce]

Yeah kids are far more important than all that crap lol even if the pay out is great.

[@bigocean415]

That’s it, I’m unsubscribing! 😂 seriously though good on you for trying and don’t be too hard on yourself. I’ve got two young kids and I can’t imagine even getting to one of these events, let alone seriously competing

[@ssj2trunks103]

Again You Over Think ThingsTo Much My Friend! Lol As for the Tournament it is all about one’s mind set! If you are going to have FUN or TO WIN! In the end the only real winners are the Tournament Organizers, Pokemon Comp, Volunteers ( to some extent) they got more out of this than the participants! Lol As for the argument of the Top Players Not Having Responsibilities Am Been Able To Go Anywhere… Life Is Big Am Long Rd… They’ll Not Going To Achieve Nothing Worth Remembering In The Future… So Let Them Have Their Fun… See How They’ll Be Doing In 10 Years From Now! Lol

[@jaceklitmanowski137]

First!

[@heavychef247]

Not so much interested in your failure analysis.

[@Sharky053]

Then why'd you click the video 🤣
