[@Drop0sauce]

Tbh idk why more people weren’t picking him up I was almost solemnly running weezing toed slaking/Regigias and running thru my locals and a couple tours was pretty insane the amount of viable teams in multiple metas this set up was able to do obviously a fast paced spore team is gonna be problematic but it’s gets so many more utility support moves then most expect

Not gonna lie: Regulation H has been my favourite ruleset by a country mile. It actually made me feel like I had a chance to do original teams, and have fun with it. Its made me interested in participating again instead of watching from the sidelines.

[@cabrondemente1]

You mean games without Urshifu and Fluttermane are entertainment? The audacity!

[@ggbinogaming3768]

I much prefer formats like series 1, 2, reg c and h over reg g. Much more diversity and not every team feels the same. It’s way more fun to team build and play :)

Ray Rizzo is Wolfe lite. Tbh he just needs to upgrade his mic, and needs to sound more confident.

[@zegna1318]

"pawmot is how you officially pronounce it". immediately misprounces it next sentence. classic wolfey

[@ayo-whats-this]

Just because that's how it is pronounced, doesn't mean that's how you pronounce it.

[@pangobara8182]

I'm glad he did because I was genuinely so confused as to what other pronunciation there could be for Pawmot. I guess I should have known that it was pronouncing the o but I was so distracted by the only other 2-syllable word that I've seen end like that being Marmot (which is certainly what it's based off).

[@potatovine]

​@@ayo-whats-thisIts probably based on marmot the animal so yeah you should pronounce it that way

"This is content you're not gonna get anywhere else" is so true. And its 100% confindence and pride in his hard work and not at all arrogance or a big ego. This man works so hard and it's paying off. Keep it up World Champ!

[@paulkish-greer9545]

I was thinking the same thing, I love how confident Wolfe has become. He earned that confidence!

[@Averagejon95]

Was sat across from Wolfe round 2 next to his opponent. Was able to shake his hand and talk to him even if the convo was short. Thanks for talking to me even though you might not remember!!

[@Glory2Snowstar]

Wolfe is the prime example of why it’s great to study every rule in the book, so that you may break them as thoroughly as possible.

Similar energy to "Studying all the cultures in the world to learn how to be more thoroughly racist", but applied to an official event.

[@sparkcircuit7029]

People may hate what Wolfey is capable of, but you have to give him props for understanding the gameplay mechanics and abilities/items/moves info VERY well. Like, even if this is an evil, _evil_ team, stuff like using a non-ability setup or picking out that Revival Blessing won't have much effect despite how good it is or equipping Sleep Talk of all things just in case of Amoongus requires a lot of dedication and knowlegde and is solid proof of the World Champ Difference. 👍✨

[@sparkcircuit7029]

side note (which people can either agree or diasgree with, i don't care much either way): i am really glad they banned Legendaries and Paradoxes for a time, just because we get to see some creative teams and the return of some older good pokemon that only went unused due to just being outclassed by the higher stats of legendaries/paradox and put on the bench.

I might not know how to play pokemon competitively that well, but my god is Wolfey a huge inspiration to try harder.

[@DaShikuXI]

Some 8 months ago you entered a tournament with a heavy control team. I said then that control is absolutely what you are best at, due to your very accurate reads most of the time. This video again shows that you do really well with control strategies. I really do think that this sort of team is what can win you a world championship again, instead of the more aggressive beatdown meta teams, simply because it plays to your strengths as a player.

Also, it helps with engagement because it makes it feel like this is not just Wolfe's team, it's our team that is going to do some level of chicanery.

I love these thumbnails they have so much personality so I think it’s a shame they get changed after a while even though it’s probably to boost the algorithm

[@samamies88]

Isn't it just the A/B thing? There are multiple thumbnails. U see some of them rn, someone else sees the other versions (iirc sometimes KZbin have more than 2). I sometimes see different thumbnail on my pc than mobile on same day on same account. Wolfy at least in past did AB testing (iirc there even was pinned comment on one of the videos about it) - am not sure if he stopped but if he still does it then that would explain why u see different thumbnail now and another later.

[@BLKCLVR]

Wolfey had time to teambuild this tournament? I was kinda looking forward to hearing about how he woke up in the Canadian wilderness with nothing but the word "Baltimore" tattooed onto his arm and 8 hours to build a new team.

This video is fantastic, as always (the storytelling is great and the team is evil lmao), but I wanna give some extra love to those illustrations that appeared throughout the video. They were awesome! They gave a lot of life to each and every moment they appeared in! It was such a cool addition to the video!

Wolfey probably thinks I am going to watch this while doing something else. What he doesn't know is that he is such a good story teller he keeps me locked in at full attention every time.

I believe toedscruel's turn order does not change when weezing is swapped out is because priority brackets do not update like speed brackets do.

[@____orphevs]

[@F14thunderhawk]

playing safe doesnt actually get you wins. you do need to experiment and gamble. At its core theres nothing super experimental here, but its all designed against common teams, either Psyspam, Ursaluna, or Psymoon.

[@001HK0]

I think part of why switching out doesn't change your speed ordering with mycelium might is that if switching in changed your speed ordering you could be surprise slept from nowhere which seems less fun than a fast spore + switch out. Of course, this assumes the devs thought about this combo.

[@parkershaw3753]

Personally, my theory is that because Mycelium Might was de-activated at the start of the turn, Spore just never was flagged to be affected by it.

[@petrie911]

I would guess that priority brackets are locked in at the start of the turn.

Was also nice that there wasn't any drama/controversy around this tournament (barring people getting mad at the team lol) nor any overly sentimental rationalizations.
