How I Won The First Regulation E VGC Regional

[@Mr_G_VGC]

yeah that first guy who got hit with the tera Fairy is never going to mentally recover from that. the kind of turn that haunts you for weeks

[@trick6pokemon624]

My favorite is that his trainer name was Lelouch I assume from the anime Code Geass. This is the MC of the anime and in the first episode is shown to be a hyper-intelligent high school kid specifically very talented in chess as well. This person's psyche is surely broken after being hard read like that.

[@talonboyce8298]

Honestly, I'd have had PTSD after being read my rights that hard. Respectfully canceling the battle and eating ice cream to comfort my trauma... 🙏🏿

[@jamesaditya5254]

​@@trick6pokemon624imagine if they got humbled and change their ign to Bystander 1

[@tricksterx98]

He is in Valorant now 😂

[@juvene6]

​@@trick6pokemon624 I had this exact thought

[@ShaqsonYT]

James is on his villain arc rn after last season haha what a play in game one with the Tera blast call

[@Defaultnoobisme]

And that laugh afterward too. We gotta look out for him if we verse him

[@euniesdabus]

James was feelin himself after the tournament win, bc that Tera read was actually GODLIKE LMAO

[@thejimcricket]

I wasn't expecting a video like this considering all I've seen was your games, besides on Beastcoast. Very glad you are starting to get the recognition you deserve!

[@小新-s5f]

Congrats James🎉🎉🎉

[@xxKalle93xx]

I really would like to see the reaction of the guy in the first battle after that tera blast call. Insane!

[@rustytv3023]

Mr. Baek, much respect! I'm pulling for you at world's. Your humility and intelligence speaks bounds upon your character. Good luck! You're on a roll. Congratulations!!!

[@gilvaderxshin402]

Running power whip is really high risk, high reward. Speaking of high reward, congrats! Well deserved.

[@SpencerDGoose]

Congratulations James!

[@rookiered223]

congrats on the win JB. You've always been one of my fav players

[@DUMLaets]

I'm so proud of you James, I'm only new to your content but I love all of it, you're such a formidable player that you deserve everything!! I'll be rooting for you, and thank you for helping me build my team through your videos :)

[@Conker009]

KING JAMES 👑

[@dmmo92]

Congratulations on the win after day 1 I felt like it was your event to win

[@tidallocs993]

Congrats on your win, you deserve it

[@harrisonlorens3585]

Congratulations on another 1st place finish. Edit: As you said, you are insane. That first game Tera Fairy was the soul read of the decade.

[@rysananimation]

Super congrats to you on your regionals win! Now everything is just practice for you up until Worlds 😋

[@isaiahlawrence338]

Congratulations man!

[@zorroluffy3483]

Congratulations 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@insomniaccity]

Congrats on the regional win!!

[@treygreypaws3689]

Congrats Baek! Bro i was so hyped when you won, i was telling my bros you would win all along because you're one of my fav but it was stacked. Didn't expect you to crush things like that though

[@xdferocious6016]

Watched this live, pumped watching you win!! If only wolfey wouldve beaten riley too wouldve been a sick weekend for beastcoast

[@dvp1694]

That H-Arcanine is sick, I’ve been using one and I love him

[@Grazzzzzel]

literally the goat

[@Paul_______]

I find myself watching your battles more than playing. I like the thought process when predicting the opponents. I just can't get into playing this Gen. Feels like every team is only paradox + ruin + 580 to 600 legendary. I miss being able to be competitive with pokemon with power ranges 475 to 525

[@dent5672]

I like to always make sure I have 1 or 2 UU Pokémon to make sure I’m having fun. Catches people off guard, can take out the big bads still. But too many and the team is underpowered. Example: I made a team around Greedent, Sitrus berry, his cheek pouch ability and swords dance. I kept winning with it! On the comment about his thought process: I feel like that’s what makes or breaks the poke streamers. If they aren’t explaining their thoughts then why am I watching!

[@dominicpirola8240]

The ruin mons aren't even that potent right now chien pao is always good and chiyu u see occasionally, ting Lu is gone (wo chien was never there) idk I feel like the metagame for reg E is actually a LOT healthier than D since ogerpon water is a much welcome check to urshifu-water

[@meatloaf7939]

Common James W

[@tajuszka6589]

game1, turn 2 was wild af. WP

[@Tristen501]

That was a soul read with that tera fairy!

[@Nsporter]

congrats

[@Dan_Santucci]

THAT TERA BLAST, OMFG. :D

[@williamclemens8456]

Thank you James for this! I waa thinking regarding Kingambit, why not Tera Ghost? It is basically a free Swords Dance most of the time

[@NielsVGC]

That last game tho, what a Dondozo counter

[@doanhkhue4476]

Thanks for the video. Could you explain the EVs on Ogerpon? Do you aim to survive any move or move faster than any Pokémon?

[@timespaceanomaly]

WaterPon was on both teams in the finals of the Premier Challenge I ran today!

[@briansloan1713]

🐐

[@skeeeeeeter]

no fucking way with the Tera dragon call 😭😭

[@itsReplay]

I live an hour away from Peoria and I had no clue there was a regional there 😭I’ve gotta go next year

[@antoniosoutzee8935]

The terra fairy read! I would cancel the battle too😂

[@swimchase4382]

Make that team a rental team again

[@p90590]

Game 1 ‘s the reason I still use Tera water on Gholdengo

[@qxTHIEFxp]

I'm struggling to deal with bundle armarouge psy spam. If I try to follow me with ogerpon bundle just freeze dried while armarouge endures. I'm afraid of bringing priority due to indeedee. Any tips?

[@smokeybandit3787]

What was that tera blast call!! Lmaooooooo

[@Raziel_HHL]

nah that Game 1 play with the Tera Blast was NOT okay controllers were smashed this day

[@notraven2291]

Congrats James! I use a kind similar team (flutter mane instead of Gholdengo) in a PC and I got 2nd place =). How do you plan match up against TR teams?

[@VincentWee-zy4wo]

Congrats sir want to try this team out how does it deal with tr?

[@Paragleiber]

Thanks for the video! I was actually thinking of using your team at the EU Regional this week and now I can use your actual EVs for it. Why are you focusing on SpDef instead of Def on the Tornadus though? Any particular moves that you want to survive?

[@jameswbaekpkmn]

I took this spread from Hirofumi's 2023 Worlds team. I didn't know what the spread did other than being bulky but the special defense was nice against the Chi Yu and Flutter Manes I did play against.

[@dominicpirola8240]

Most torns focus more heavily on spdf no? Ogerpon water is a great check to urshifu-water so enough defense EVs to live surging strikes doesn't seem as important as it was in reg D

[@strateeg32]

How do you win with this team versus dondozo tats?

[@crinaft7640]

What would u lead against deedee+rouge tr team ?

[@elaphar]

Landorous in the last game was not Life Orb... It was probably choice specs...

[@jameswbaekpkmn]

It most likely was Life Orb as it is the most common Incarnate set. It wouldn't take recoil because Sheer Force Moves don't take Life Orb chip as an extra bonus.

[@MattAlexander-do2od]

@8:30 Legendary prediction

[@graceplayz6476]

First g crazy 😂

[@DnDandVideoGames]

Why I'll never win anything: this team does not have -any- pokemon with max atk/spatk

[@harrisonlorens3585]

True 💀

[@gabrielescudero1993]

James' playstile is mostly defensive, he's specially great in long battles and his predictions are incredible. Offensive plays, however, are a glass cannon. You can dominate the match from start to the end in a really visible way, but if you're in a disadvantatge is so difficult to comeback

[@anthonyj7311]

Your first opponent probably quit playing Pokémon. 😬 Stop being a bully bro.

[@Gulliedoutbigup]

I can tell you how you won the championship without watching the video. You studied and prepped. Built a strong team. Piloted that team well. RNG was in your favour. You played better than the other people there. All these 'How I won XXX' are genuinely so stupid. it's not just you who makes them obviously but holy shit the title implies something crazy happened. No, just regular tournament shit.. as is the same with every single video titled like this. Edit: Crazy, it's not even a bad 'How I won XXX' video. It's exactly the same as all your other VGC videos. Impressive.

[@CAiNiAC]

Look fellas, it's the guy with no joy in his life.
