I feel in the last match Wolfey would have done the helping hand brick break into the hydreigon play and removed it altogether from play as he'd thought boxbox would do. That's what is called the world champ difference :)

@@LycanMOON sykkuno connoreatspants and lilypichu also wouldnt be well known then

[@gametheory3458]

​​@@Watburnt Lily, Connor and Sykkuno are all very popular streamers outside of their niche. Even if you don't watch their streams, chances are that you've heard of them through the grapevine at some point. Boxbox is popular, but he doesn't do as much variety content as the other streamers (as far as I'm aware), so even if he is popular within his niche, people that don't play League or TFT may not have heard of him. It's like how Wolfey and Cybertron are very popular amongst people that watch Pokémon content, but people that don't watch Pokémon content may not have heard of them.

[@BoltBarkingatthemoon]

[@dariuslynard158]

I loved everything about this. Bringing in players who are notable from different games. The laid back atmosphere and natural chemistry of the casters. The interview portions were all in a smaller space so they felt more personal and showed player's personality. Great job to everyone who made this happen.

[@jpshy1130]

Yeah lmao the casters were so funny “That would be cultural appropriation” had me ROLLING

[@koelee]

Void and Boxbox are both super talented to have made it to the end with how little time they had with the game. I'm especially impressed by Boxbox for how quickly he was able to pick it up considering he's never touched a Pokemon game in his life. Both streamers will never stop impressing me with how quickly they're able to pick up new games.

[@whatdavid]

I have a lot of respect for Void for being the only one who built his own team. He knew what he was doing and he earned the title of champion. I was thinking he had a good shot from the beginning when Wolfey said he can pick up and master any game quickly. That was definitely the case here.

[@frostmint3584]

Yeah His Fire tera Annihilape plays got me a Bit but I Had my Money on him tbh

[@wjt764]

He was definitely by far the most knowledgeable there. Almost unfair that he was pitted against people who had literally never played the game before lol

[@te0nzin]

jesus as someone who plays smash and pokemon (tho singles) competetively i didn't know void was this cracked. he's by far the best sheik player in the world (probably the most technical character in smash) and now seeing him win this tournament (while it wasn't professional) was crazy.

I watched about the whole thing of this live and some of my favorite moments were Ludwig juking the ever loving hell out of Void and Lily of all people defying expectations and making it quite far in the tournament. This was SO much fun to watch, I always love it when Wolfe sets up tournaments for non-professional players

[@izzykusa]

I was so surprised with Lily performance! Thanks for this great event Wolfey

Amazing event and rip to Beyond The Summit they will be sorely missed in all of esports

[@RachelthePotato]

Ludwig underestimating Lily is the funniest thing considering he's out of the tourney and she has yet to play her hand 😭😭😭

[@Zsy6]

The commentators constantly freaking out was hilarious. I love how comfortable everyone was. A different vibe from a real VGC tournament.

[@TinySwanGrandAdventures]

I was competing in a small official tournament and there was a person who was spectating the match between myself and another competitor and she did the Pokemon Stadium announcer commentary of, "What's the matter, trainer?" and one of the refs came over and told her that she would have to leave if she wasn't silent while watching. The room was very quiet and the vibes were not very fun outside of the table I was at because I got a competitor who was willing to give a bit of commentary on his reactions and was genuinely fun to fight against. Wish I would've gotten his contact info back then.

[@MatthewJones-pz9nx]

Seeing this whole event took place with the Beyond the Summit set up is bittersweet knowing we won’t have such an amazing place for events like this to be hosted at anymore

[@sanfran216]

Really late, but I have a really good idea for a tournament: The KZbinrs' parents pick their Pokémon. If they say "I like this one", it doesn't matter if it's Garchomp, Kricketune, or Sunkern: you have to use it. Or just show them all the fully-evolved Pokémon and have them choose from those. Either way, I think it would be fun to see

[@trickytristan1]

Its genuinely nuts how good Void is at literally any game he plays.

[@CanisInfernus]

Honestly the commentary sorta gives me nostalgia for the announcer in Pokemon Stadium. I always had a superstition that if he says "here it comes: Thunder!" it means that particular Thunder is for sure going to miss, and I have the same feeling about Wolfey speaking Draco misses into existence.

[@leximills1300]

Not seeing enough appreciation for BoxBox! Albert picks things up so quickly, it's always fun to watch him. Such a fun event with great players, would love to see more :)

[@IschmarVI]

bit late to the party but yep, BoxBox is insane. To be fair, the archetype that they came up with for his team was perfectly suited as it is VERY straightforward and iirc. he had a pretty complex write-up about a lot of lead matchups made for him, but even then. Actually understanding all of that in such a short time and even being able to adapt if things don't go as planned is impressive. Plus, BoxBox is a chill and funny guy.

I watched the live stream of it and spent the whole day watching that.
