Thank you for spending time with my kid on your busy weekend! I can't wait to show Alistair this video in the morning! : )

[@SneakerTalkTCG]

Ayyy more than happy to! It was definitely one of my favourite moments of the trip! 🙏🏻🔥 Hope y’all have an awesome weekend coming up 😇

[@venothraovenoth3085]

Love your videos never missed it especially the touranment ones because your tournament vlogs brings the best vibe ever. 😀😀

[@SneakerTalkTCG]

Ayyyy thanks for watching and for all the support fam! 🙏🏻🙏🏻 really happy to hear that 😇

[@CollineCummins]

Best vlog yet! Great video! We enjoyed watching this while eating dinner this evening!

[@SneakerTalkTCG]

Ayyyy thank you! 🙏🏻 glad you watched it while eating I was hoping some people would eat dinner watching it lol 😂😇

[@RyKaiYin]

This was such an epic video! Thank you for sharing your experience with us, definitely learnt a lot about the competitive side of Pokemon TCG! Keep up the awesome work :)

[@TekkBallz]

Favorite Pokémon is Magmar. I recently stumbled upon your videos because I was curious about top decks in Pokémon (I haven't played since 2017 and it was super casual) then I kept watching more and more of your content. I love all the coverage man. Keep it up!

[@lucasrios2089]

been looking forward to this video a lot and I was saving it to watch it at the office during lunch break, and it was worth the wait! It's clear you put a lot of work into this one man, and it paid off! Pokemon is a lot simpler than MTG so I've been teaching my family, definitely really like to see the vocab words and more explanations, that really helps to share your videos with them as they're just learning. My favorite Pokemon has always been Garchomp, I started in Gen 4 so it's near and dear to my heart, in the TCG though Wo-Chien is my favorite for sure!

[@Beano4777]

My boy sneaker. Love these tournament content videos bro. My favorite. Keep it up man always supporting 🫶

[@RisingShadow11]

The little boy was so adorable the icing on the cake was that he played the same deck

[@brandonoviatt4190]

Largest Western tournament* Japan regularly has 3000+ player tournaments

[@SneakerTalkTCG]

Regularly has 3000+? But Japan nationals had 1963 this year…

[@TinNguyen-lz1nq]

Love the tournament vlogs. Super entertaining!

[@danielsho3085]

Love the content!! Started PTCG about 1 month ago and hoping to go to a tournament like this one day!

[@Mysticalzelda]

Very nice vlog! Sad you got all those losses at the start, but it did make me feel a bit better. I just started out and my first challenge I won with 3-0, then I recently had my second challenge and I was last with 1-4. So if you can lose so many times in a row, I feel less bad about it happening to me :). Also the kid was suuuper wholesome, so cute!

[@AlexGalaxy14]

Always look forward to your vlogs to get a feel of the competetive scene also cuz there aren't many vlogs showcasing these events. Question: do I need to compete to be able to enter the Pokémon center pop up shop?

[@GodotRaps]

Love watching the tournaments content,always fun I'm actually about to host the first poke TCG tournament in my city next month,can't wait for that :D (and my favorite gotta be Machamp,easily)

[@SneakerTalkTCG]

Ayyy thanks for taking the time to comment and watch mine fam! 🙏🏻 and that’s awesome, I hope it all runs smoothly for you and is that start to an awesome next chapter 🔥👌🏻

[@user-eb8eu2pk1c]

Awesome vlog man and my favorite pokemon is Glaceon. The first 3 rounds were rough but hey you went from 0-3 to 5-4 again awesome vlog

[@richardphipps4750]

Bad luck man that's rough, but love the positive spin. It's weird, I get super anxious for some reason when i think too much about trying to win and just miss play all over the place and have tried to just think about why I got into it in the first place and that's just to have fun and it takes the pressure off a bit and I feel a bit freer which definitely helps. Love the vid

[@sherman7921]

Great video! I cant wait to go to my first tournament

[@justinchiang1991]

Great video! Cool to see it all. My favourite it Pikachu and hoping to find a build that actually works well enough to compete!

[@diegorubens]

Nice vid. I loved the details after each battle

[@SneakerTalkTCG]

Thanks for watching and for the feedback! 🙏🏻🙏🏻

[@migs1417]

[@sparkysizzletcg]

My favorite Pokemon is Cubone! I just started my competitive journey this season so I'm excited to see how I grow as a player!

[@supernova7043]

my favorite pokemon is machamp I actually have the lost origin version in one of my decks mostly for casual because i havn't had the opportunity to play competitive in the area i live in.

[@mariaray5727]

I love watching your vlog videos of competitions but I always get so sad for you when you don’t make it to day two!! Come on man we gotta get you in the big competitions!!??

[@SneakerTalkTCG]

It’s happening this year for sure! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 my locals some weeks are comparable to day 2 level play with the amounts of worlds players and champions/finalist at my store. Even challenges/cups and regular weeklies is sweaty. Great practice though! 💪🏻😈🔥

[@bryancaswell9538]

Great video, love the content man. Have you considered doing a Q&A with subscribers? I bet we’d all love to get to know you more!

[@SneakerTalkTCG]

Thanks Bryan! And I have a few time in the past already for some subscriber milestones or special occasions 💪🏻 will definitely do some more soon!

[@TCGcart]

Is there a card that will stop abilities besides the stadium card?

[@RedGiant67]

Dragonite is my fav and I’ve only played at one regional this year: Portland

[@maximummax29]

Fave Pokémon is Glaceon and I’ve played games at my LCS. But never really won all that much

[@RivalThought]

Thank you for the vlog i really enjoyed it, i love your content i have recently returned to TCG and i cannot thank you enough for the reviews and amazing work you put out.
