[@Djrhcp1]

Please do not get discouraged to do more draft content. Ive been supporting you for over a decade now and I love this kinds of videos

[@relikvia4]

I really don't understand what is going on with Haydunn in these matches. He made SO MANY misplays here. He overpredicts way too much, focuses on setting up too much when he shouldn't, and he was really really obsessed with the idea of the Grimmsnarl doing screens when it did not have one. What is going on with him? In his other videos he plays far better than in these tournaments.

[@devv197]

@@relikvia4it’s probably just nerves this is his first draft if i remember right.

[@brandonmckown9952]

As long as he tried that's all that matters right? Nothing ventured nothing gained.

[@HolyBuffalowings]

He is making great teams. These games are so much harder to play than a random battle. He will get his W soon

[@pseudohippie55]

How was he supposed to know if the Grimmsnarl didnt have screens? He doesnt know the opponents moves beforehand. You're basing your criticism on hindsight.

[@Visualeaf]

Don't give up Haydunn! Your builds are so cool honestly. ♡ And I can see you improving with the format all the time. Your matches have been some of my favorite this season. I believe in you.

[@lenvel8057]

I can’t speak for everyone but I watch not for wins or losses but because you are just so damn entertaining. Keep doing your thing, I’m sticking with you either way!

[@jamisonberg3439]

The matchup I’ve been dreading, my 2 boys; pitted against one another, divided to decide😢

[@pidgeyottot3527]

Saaaameeee

[@tylerc4229]

Beartic def needs a third evo just like ursaluna

[@loathy4528]

Haydunn live commentary gives me great let's play vibes

[@seanharrison3504]

I like tracking these games. I don’t play competitively, but I feel like I’ve learned a lot from watching, keep up the good work!

[@jayc6743]

Man I almost saw the comeback taking place with that gamble. As you said these matches come down to one or two moves. You are getting closer and closer to the first win!

[@kelvinwong4730]

Please don't get discouraged! I absolutely love your content and am so grateful that you come up with strategies to make lesser used mons have the spotlight!

[@Slaterx_]

I still enjoy watching how you approach each battle and watching thr battle itself regardless the outcome. Also love live commentary for this and post commentary for wifi. As long you have fun that's all the matters and if you learned something new, then the loss doesn't feel as bad. I know if I tried this draft I'll probably get 0-6 every game.

[@ShinyHuntersGuild]

Thanks for posting these every week, even with loses. Your explanations are awesome and talking through the match helps me figure out what I should do in those types of situations. Keep up the great work!

[@ghostofsparta93]

Been watching Haydunn since we were both kids. Grew up near shady, and now live in Colorado. I’m rooting for Haydunn, but will happily watch both ends of this matchup

[@jakelarge8648]

Your content will always be dope my dude! This format looks unforgivably difficult if you don’t plan your teams perfectly. You’ll bounce back homie!

[@gioc2512]

My dude, I watched you all through middle school and high school, and I watched Shady through college. You guys are both legends

[@maybeplease88878]

I would say take this as a learning experience leagues can be tough. As you have learned, expected the unexpected

[@Rozonkomo]

I know you're having a rough season so far, but I'm really enjoying your games! Win or lose, still cheering for the Haydunn.

[@sinci7]

To echo others, please don’t let this discourage you. This series has been phenomenal. It really gives us an opportunity to see into your decision making and the stakes feel higher than usual. It’s the first thing I look for in my feed on a Monday morning! Thanks for all the years of incredible entertainment

[@clashcan123456789]

Chin up Haydun, you've been playing well, it's tough but everything takes practice and commitment. I hope you keep playing and try next season, I love the content. I've been watching since diamond and pearl days, and can't get enough of the league battles!

[@TheGarrett9687]

I like watching win or lose. It can’t always be winning every match.

[@cwjkeyes4322]

I've been really enjoying this series. I'd never heard of a draft league for Pokemon before, so it's been really cool watching it for the first time and listening to your explanations of your decisions. Please don't get discouraged from the losses - it's just as fun to watch you learn a new format.

[@JaymanGM]

Honestly I would say please don’t be discouraged. Especially watching Shady’s side of this, he praises a lot of your plays and you both did really well in this battle. This for me was one of the most entertaining battles that has come out of this league so far.

[@jakemauro5677]

8:20 haydunn is doing live commentary! I’ve waited for this for years. This is why I had to start watching just weavile and pokeaimmd. I love the live reactions. The thought process. Woohoo. You got me excited

[@allday8941]

Been subscribed to you for your WiFi battles and recently started watching draft league. I was so stoked when pokeaimmd announced you as one of the coaches and I love the draft league content man! Hope to keep watching you in more draft leagues!

[@bocajeijlem]

Don’t give up man! Your on the cusp of a come back!

[@Neffariousnyc]

Tough loss, buddy, but what a great match. Full of surprises.

[@jheviannehunter4587]

Bro! Loving the breakdowns! Please keep them up! Looking forward to having a battle with you sometime!

[@KayronTho]

A 40 minute video? Aw I’m saving this one for when I have popcorn on board!

[@KoopaXross]

Icicle crash can always flinch too you know.

[@lokeijak]

Awesome performance! You're taking on some top players, don't be discouraged

[@whyatt09]

These draft league videos are so dope! Great work, man!

[@triglav657]

Maybe the grimm had choice band, thats why he manually changed it instead of parting shotting

[@UConduit]

Dont lose hope! We're all still rooting for you!

[@LordJudgement1818]

The two best pokemoners on KZbin for me going at it. What a fight.

[@KoonKlausGamer]

Shady? Wow!! What a interesting match

[@dimitri_zhang]

Don’t hesitate to kill or setup to the max. That Grimmsnarl had 3/4 attacking moves

[@skar.696]

Thanks for the nice long video man, it was a good match! You will get a W next time. Keep it up!

[@Comp.KrakenxHunter]

Shady picked some strong Mons even the bench warmers are a menace

[@seanbruh-]

just keep at it bro you gonna start getting some wins soon

[@Tegatreides]

Rooting for you man. Be yourself, get wacky ideas like on your normal vids. Enjoy yourself, you got nothing to lose!

[@cameronquotebaileymusic]

Grimmsnarl having Ice Punch is insane...

[@isaacoliva8889]

How does throat chop not affect chilly reception?

[@tristanbowles7258]

Prop slapstick comedy

[@RawRatMeat]

Was torn between who’s video to watch first as love ya both but ended going by whom I subbed to first which was cool to find out, subbed to you in April 2015 and Shady December same year 😮

[@AidenStai-zg7vi]

Entertaining as always, keep up the great uploads!

[@salbernaudo505]

I have been watching shady for years amd waned u two to battle both are great content creators

[@TonyTorkoal]

Haydunn vs shady this is some heat ❤

[@earldominic5312]

You did well, my guy.

[@njester025]

Would love to see more draft content in the future! I like the high level strategy even if you’re still new to the meta

[@jakemauro5677]

At least haydunn did a team prep vid. Super Bowl Got the boys late and short on the uploads

[@shortsupply4760]

The more drafts you do the better you will become. Great video (:

[@jittel]

gonna save this for the airport when I wake up, thank you for getting me through this whole ass night of packing ❤

[@yuzmanito]

You did great and amazing plays. You're an expert in unconventional sets so it's always funny see people unaware of things like facade gliscor

[@patrickdaly1088]

That was a really tough matchup, feels like you just got outplayed even before the match started. Your opponent had everything in place to make all the reads during the match, but they had to have that ready beforehand, like the ice punch Grimmsnarl with no screens, when's the last time you saw a grimmsnarl without screens?

[@pragmaticduck1772]

Couldn't care less about the 0-4 , I'm sure you're not stoked with it, but I love the honesty in the commentary and the game play. I'll keep watching mate, love it

[@Unklesam7]

My two favorite Poketubers in a competitive battle.. dreams do come true

[@tyharmon7614]

The live commentary was pretty cool

[@philippefutureboy7348]

39 minutes?? Holy shit that’s gonna be good

[@xVibra]

I think rocks is ridiculously good against his team, but it's unfortunate your setup mons are pretty weak to threats. The Grimmsnarl just being able to switch constantly and counter setup needed a check.

[@yuzmanito]

Also people really calc everything and look for possible moves since it's allowed. It' def more difficult than playing it by ear, for sure

[@serge2cool]

Not enough careful use of regenerator Gloking, otberwise nice start

[@TheRageHunt]

Offensive grimsnarl real MVP this match

[@kelseykent1196]

Damn sorry dude I love your content I hoping you didn’t forget that Tsareena learned HJK. Also Physical Grimsnarl I’ve never seen that set

[@xXFoxyGrandmaXx]

Over predicted on a support grimm instead of an offensive one

[@tuttyslodd2405]

You bring joy to my life. Let’s have dinner.

[@_Gemkas_]

I love you in draft content!! 🔥🔥‼️

[@brandonmarquez7336]

You will always be king bro 👑 !!

[@very_gouda]

the New York Mankeys 😂 these team names never fail to get a chortle outta me istg

[@zekegonzaldi6230]

Don’t give up. Practice and experience will help you improve in draft

[@StabbyMacStabStab]

The swords dance infront of the Grimmsnarl was the right play.

[@krakenxhunter]

Forgot all about bro had some good times watching his videos

[@WHIMPERNOW]

0-4 damn.

[@Free_DeLaHoya_7]

Yo Haydunn with shadyy is great

[@Travissaur]

Keep your head up bro! Rapidspinners for life!

[@djaeson777]

well done

[@universalkun7150]

Anyone else notice the Fire Emblem Three Houses names on Shady's team, or just me?

[@yazdanicacid]

why are you normal type moves on sylveon super effective against the grimmsnarl?

[@SylveonSimp]

i assume pixilate

[@JohnnyEnjoi]

Pixilate ability changes Sylveon's Normal type moves to Fairy.

[@empskies4420]

love ur vids man❤

[@chuchuchuchia]

New York Mankeys is an elite name

[@theshadowking3198]

SPL has been my favorite videos Ik you’ll get a win

[@robbieberg9452]

Need to not overthink things

[@GreyKid2015]

Dang I feel like throat chop should prevent you from using chilly reception, since he's telling a joke. Also, what happened to your firered playthrough?

[@SwordOfBlueThunder]

I dont quite remember how it works with status moves, but wouldnt Covert Cloak do the same thing as the lum berry in this match, but also prevent flinches?

[@tristanbowles7258]

Covert Cloak stops the additional effects of moves. For example, Covert Cloak would stop Thunder Punch from paralyzing. So yes, it would block the flinch from Fake Out, but it wouldn’t stop a status move like Thunder Wave or Toxic.

[@DarkShaman667]

GG! 0:2, not too bad, eh. You were doing fine.

[@charlieg3041]

I think you might be to focus on reading their team, you should play like you normally do with wild tactics and moves but idk

[@DJMB32]

Comenting before I finish the vid shady is top 3 of my fav poketubers obviously Haydunn is 2nd no offense but purple cliffe is the goat anyways can’t wait to see ur battle when I saw the shady penguin at the end of the vid I was like no way I need to watch this because I remembered in one of shadies video he said he joined spl. Love ur content haydunn keep up with the good work

[@debonairdevon8049]

Win or lose you are my favorite poke tuber by far I find your videos very entertaining.

[@jakemauro5677]

Can someone please explain to me why shady brings specially offensive lando T every week. Am I missing something? Did he lose a bet? Or is that a trope from a long time ago? I just don’t get it… It was 145 base atk and 105 sp atk or something… and EQ is 100 BP while searing sands or whatever is like 70 BP. Like is he tryna lose every week. Someone has to explain this I just don’t get it. Week after week.

[@AlexRodriguez-uk8ho]

Please do a Reuniclus build. 🙏🏼Love your content ❤

[@crazyking94]

I think the biggest mistake I see you make is when you know your pokemon is going down to an attack and you have a priority move, you don't use that priority move for bonus damage. QA may not have done a ton to the sneasler but every but helps

[@GDKsan]

grimmnarl was banded ? It's the only way he switched out intead of parting shot after the ice punch. Never mind he diod switch moves at one point;

[@matthewdavis3421]

Man, you got mental walled by the Grimmsnarl. Prepared so much for walls, and he brought an offensive set. At this point you just gotta play spoiler. Actually, I don't know if the league is round robin or double, but in any case just try to pull off the wall stuff that you normally do.

[@mr.toyman1630]

Quick attack

[@baconrocksable]

nah brother, you're just overthinking it! do what you do best! you take underdog pokemon and pimp them out by using inconventional strategies! stick to that and take a deep breath! you got this! remember, chip helps!

[@aleka-l3s]

Hey man, I’ve been watching you as If lately and I really love the work and creativity you put on your team. I’ve been playing Pokemon a lot more lately because of you and I try test running some teams on my own. I’m no good at it lately and I would lose a lot of battles. But I really enjoy your content and I would love to learn from you and still see your battles regardless. Keep it up and don’t feel bad or discouraged. You got a great community and folks to look out to you.

[@Shadowskul33]

I love these longer videos with the live commentary. Really interesting hearing your thoughts for every action your opponent takes and seeing how you reach your answers!

[@marcellocoimbra4540]

Haydunn was too predictable in this match . He lost 3 pokemon (Goodra, Beartic and Gliscor) trying to set up. Sometimes, chip damage is more importante than boosting.
