I have watched every single video of randbats since the series first started. Its the first thing I do after I get home from work. So cool to see that you made it to number one after getting close so many times. Awsome achievement and truly deserved. You are the GOAT for sure.

[@freezailive3842]

This is so awesome, thanks!

[@bananatimez]

I met freezai at a petting zoo. He was talking with one of the baby goats and struggling to hold back tears. I asked him, "are you doing okay, friend?" He shook his head solemnly. "Everyone forgets that goats are herd animals. We're not meant to be alone."

[@Daemonioros]

That Regigigas game was highway robbery. One of the luckiest things I've ever seen in this game.

[@tafazziReadChannelDescription]

Freezai's guardian angel decided to lock in

[@poffy02]

Freezai got pretty unlucky in the beginning of the game too, opponent would have a much better chance to win if he didn’t switch. (50% I think?)

[@arranr]

He can carry a continent, he can carry a team.

[@ridley6627]

average freezai game

[@teliora]

He played the odds well tbh, just finding wincons in a borderline unwinnable situation is a pretty good skill

[@apokelink]

Kyogre betrayed you with the origin pulse last time and Regigigas absolutely clutched it with the paras this time, seems like they forgot to take heroism into account when making them Uber and ZU respectively.

[@jfrogfoot]

i remember that omfg that was tragic

[@simonriley4373]

Wait there was a Paras? Why would that Pokémon be in random battles?? (Sorry I couldn’t resist)

[@DanesTowers-lb4up]

This! The hero we all desperately needed

[@hardthing100]

Freezai „that’s banded“ Sanchez robbing his way to number 1, what an insane finale

[@vanochristian7639]

“If you were to fight a 2v1, who would win, them or you?” “If they were to attack me before my slow start ends, they might give me trouble” “But would you lose?” “Nah, I’d win.”

[@absol102]

LMAO

[@Blade.5786]

Maybe the real random battles were the friends we made along the way

[@gymfamily]

Congrats! I watched every one of your randbat games for the last year and a half, and happy for you on that rank 1 title. Was always so close hitting rank two a few times! Also, yes the regigas play was a lucky. But that’s Pokémon. Anyone’s whose played Pokémon has robbed or gotten robbed due to RNG. If you get lucky, you take it. If you get unlucky, you don’t complain and keep grinding. It’s not luck that got you to this title. It’s the constant grind, commitment and skill that got you here. I can say the same about your channel on KZbin. You’ve gained a great following across your two channels and excited to continue watching your content. Cheers!

[@freezailive3842]

thanks!

[@docteursubtil2165]

Seeing Freezai trying to get number 1 for two years, losing and stopping then coming back and winning feels like when we saw Ash become World champion after 25 seasons. There's some emotions there. You're truly the goat and I'm definitely glad to see you'll come back with more videos.

[@tim..indeed]

I like how he achieves his goal of two years and doesn't change the tone in his voice even a bit.

🛡SPOILER SHIELD!!!🛡

[@Thisisnotasign]

you do realize that having a spoiler shield spoils that something was worth shielding? f off.

[@derbar4340]

When the spoiler shield only exists in the episode he makes it, it's actually a spoiler in itself. Because last episode there wasn't any. Thank you for trying nevertheless.

[@jawadtufaif7208]

​@@derbar4340 There were shields even in the last episode I believe. It just doesn't always work because they rarely make top comments in my experience.

[@sydrii]

Congrats. Hard-earned victory for sure. I'd be keen to see randbats continue but honestly you can play whatever format you want and we'll watch it

[@cbass2238]

Body Slam para into double full para is a ~~7.5%~~ 1.85% (shoutout to being corrected in the comments) chance of happening. Banking on those odds is slightly worse than banking on Butterfree missing a sleep powder. And you know what, after everything freezai went through in this series, it’s only fair to get this kind of luck. Congrats on #1 GOAT!

[@muddycalendar3292]

Wouldn’t it be 1.85%? 30% chance to paralyze with body slam, 25% for each full para So .3*.25*.25=.0185

Congratulations Freezai on this huge achievement! As for what to do next, I really like randbats so I'm all for more of these, even without the specific goal. Other than that showcasing some of the wierder formats on Showdown is always fun.

[@chimaco4673]

The double bleakwind into magnezone was such a chad play. When I saw that I knew you would make it, no fear at the top.

[@juanperez-ei9ok]

He has rocks up, his opponent's entire team is slower and doesn't do immediate damage. Magnezone just invites lanturn when the opponent can't block the volt switch. It would have been a good play in a different situation but he did it because he could afford it due to the matchup.

[@xMxM9xSx]

Congratulations! Watching this series has been my comfort food for a long time. So glad you made it!

[@freezailive3842]

Yay! Thank you!

[@senny-]

Congratulations for making it to the top! Your videos have helped me improve A LOT, and im pretty sure I'm not alone here. You deserve it, man!

[@Cardb33]

LETS GOOOOOO FREEZAI #1. You played that last game so well (Aside from the Tornadus turn) that it's really a fitting end to the series. So happy to see you get to #1 after years of trying and getting really close. Congrats man!

[@asinikill4138]

Congrats, Freezai!!! Youre the reason i started playing competitive pokemon, and I had the biggest smile watching you finally reach the top. So happy for you

[@fiveninesixtwo]

I’ve been watching you throughout this whole journey, and it’s profound how much your thought process, gameplay and overall skill has improved over this journey. Congratulations, you truly deserve this freezai! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

[@temsiik]

this is such a crazy thing to see after so long and of course it’s while i’m out of town. please don’t stop with the constant uploads, these are my videos to do cardio to after my workout!! in all seriousness, super fun to see this whole thing play out and i hope it doesn’t stop you from continuing in some other aspect. congrats!!

Congrats freezai on the well earned #1. 🎉🎉🎉 This is a bittersweet moment as I've watched the entire randbats journey. I'm sad that it's over, but happy I was here for the ride. I hope whatever you choose to do as your next series (or even the post-game content of this series) will be just as entertaining throughout

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@freezailive3842]

Thanks!

[@ManofGold24]

YOU FINALLY DID IT. Congrats, what a win! I will watch Freezai content no matter what, but these Randbats videos are my fav. As the randbats champ, you should defend your belt 🥋

Man, thanks to you I got into liking random battles a lot, glad to see you made it to the top 💪🏽

[@calook1334]

Freezai, the amount of adversity we’ve seen you overcome over these past years is insane. From this incredible series to NU World Cup to literally placing in the top end of VGC events as a singles player. We’re all so proud of you and we love you ❤️

[@marsh5953]

Huge congrats freezai have been watching since the start of randbats series all the ups and downs great to see you hit #1. Well deserved bro

[@vicksin]

what a journey it's been, I've watched every single upload of Randoms to the top since you started doing it. crazy how far you've come as a KZbinr since then. you're the goat. time to start running randbats content myself! edit: first Randbats vid just went up for anyone interested

[@Clairefairy]

I'm so happy for you, Freezai! Congrats on hitting #1!! 🎉🎉🎉 Been here silently watching your laddering everyday, learning so much from your analysis, and I'd just like to take this one opportunity to say I really appreciate your content and I can't wait to see what you'll try next. Best regards from Brazil and take care ❤

[@reesecarlton]

Hey man congrats on finally getting number 1, found your channel a couple of years ago and started watching all your videos to study your plays and apply them to my own games. You've helped me and so many other people improve and this is super deserved. Whatever you end up doing next with this channel (since you did ask, I'd prefer to see other smogon metagames), I'm sure it'll be just as good as this series. So here's some lunch money :)

[@freezailive3842]

Awesome thank you!

[@ArunMehta]

Watching these was a part of my daily routine last year. I stumbled upon these again yesterday and I am glad I did because I was finally able to see the feat reached! Congrats Freezai!

[@raisinbread1060]

It's been so long and you finally hit #1!! What a journey! Hopefully we get to see more from you because this series has been truly enjoyable!!

[@GGreenHeart]

I would gladly watch more "Defending the Throne" and "top 2500" randbats content from you. The top might be the "goal" but the randbats analysis and commentary is what we're here for. Would also love to watch you commentate others' matches, too- VGC, OU, Randbats, Tournaments, whatever!

[@masterj6323]

He’s finally done it congrats

[@Sunshine-qi6uc]

Its not much, but just wanted to tell you, that it has been an amazing, interesting and fun time watching you grind! I did learn one or two tricks from watching you, but it your videos had carried me through half the time of my study. Thx Freezai!

[@freezailive3842]

Glad to hear it! Thanks!

[@inefffable]

Gz! Well deserved. It's been a fun ride, thanks for taking us along with ya.

[@TheGiantWaffles]

That was really hype, having watched these since the very beginning two years ago made the payoff of finally getting to the top feel great. I was concerned after game 1 but then you got very lucky not only with the big comeback in game 2 but also running into highly rated players both times making it possible to get enough elo after only two more games. After all the BS it was about time you got great luck while near the top. I'd like to see randbats continue so either seeing how long you can stay at the top or seeing if you reach 2600 could be fun. Another option is randbats in older gens.

[@johnnyrankin]

The mountain has been conquered!!! Congratulations! I would still love to see random battles as no one else makes them interesting to watch

[@silverwhiteblueps9627]

your gameplay is entertaining no matter the format, any tier is great. congrats !

[@DrShnig]

As a long-time viewer on both the main channel and this one, I really enjoyed this series. It's not a mass-edited hodgepodge like most let's plays these days, but rather something more akin to the old let's plays that got most of us watching KZbin in the first place. The slower pacing *works*, and your commentary is good. That said: congratulations on becoming the #1 pokémon! Kinda weird that getting to #1 makes you a pokémon, but hey - I don't make the rules.

[@MaleWingDiver]

Yes dude!!!!!!! Congratulations!! Been watching this series for a while. So good to see you hit #1.

[@JoshInspires]

Glad to have witnessed this. That Regigigas game was hilarious, I can’t imagine how your opponent must’ve felt. But gg Freezai, you deserve that number 1 spot

[@carrotkid1]

Lets go Freezai! I'm so hyped that you finally got to the top after 2-3 years. Congrats!

[@noobslayer7564]

I enjoy watching you ladder with different team comps to try out various strategies. VGC stuff has been really cool. I miss regular OU laddering as well

[@doodle_comments9312]

Congrats! I'd love to see a variety of series from now on. You could focus on those that turn out to be the most fun for you but it'd be a breeze of fresh wind for your channel for a bit :)

The stonjourner switched out before the magnezone in turn 5 so you could have found out it wasn't scarf early on

The man, the myth, the legend Freezai finally hit rank 1. I remember watching you back in gen 8 when you'd get really tilted from how close you'd get then get para'd/flinched and then you'd drop like 20-30 ranks out of tilt so seeing you learn to ignore the tilt has been amazing and now you're at the rank you deserve. Well played man.
