Berkeley Summer 2018

What a great competition! Goals and mains my WCA profile The event This competition was in the same venue as my last one. So basically for the competition, I was doing 4x4, which was the earliest event, so I had to wake up at 6:30. Seems like BART doesn't start until 8, so we had to drive there. When we got there, there was barely anyone, but I saw Eric(Dennis' Brother) so I decided to sit next to him. I did 4x4, then 3x3 OH. I only got to do two solves on both events, because I couldn't make cutoff, so I was already feeling kinda bad. While 3x3 OH, the guy was like "we need more judges, anyone feel free to volunteer" so then I was like okay I'll try it out. When I asked "how do you judge" he COMPLETELy ignored me and just told me to sit at this station. I decided to try without any instructions. There was a stopwatch, a timer, and some stuf.f I think I know how to do htis. The first guy comes over and he FRIGIN +2S OMG.

One of my best battles

So I was rocking a game on PTCGO with this swampert deck. I bought the swampert theme deck with 500 coins, and I edited it out a bit. I rolled a game in the medium arena, or the arena where the people with the same level deck as me. I went first. AND THEN I FREAKING HAD A DUNSPARCE IN MY STARTING HAND. While my opponent had an eevee as the active and oranguru on the bench... I was thinking that this might be an espeon or leafeon deck. SO I placed down the dunsparce as the active and I passed cuz I couldn't attack. And then my opponent...ATACHED A FREAKING FAIRY ENERGY. It was a sylveon GX.... And then he nest balled for a freaking ralts. If you don't know, the world champion in 2017 played a Gardevoir Deck. I was literally playing a Gardevoir deck. I WAS IN THE FREAKING MEDIUM ARENA. And then he got off a turn one magical ribbon. I was praying for a judge, but I didn't top-deck it. I ended up just striking and running for a mudkip, slugma, and snover, t

Goals and mains for Berkeley Summer 2018!

I can't wait to go to this comp! I get to visit my sister, and catch some water pokemon in Pokemon GO. A lot of people from pleasanton are coming to this comp, for example, Eric Chen, Dennis's brother will be a first-timer. Travis G. Kim is this guy that goes to Hart. I don't know anything about him, but he's my friend's friend! Anyway, let's just get to it. MAINS 2x2: MoYu Weipo I was planning to use the Chuwen, but after using it for a couple of months, I realized that it just didn't fit me. Another reason why I'm not using the ChuWen is because one of the stickers is peeling off. 3x3: Cubicle Valk Power M This is a no-brainer. The Cubicle Valk Power M gives a crunchy, yet crispy and buttery OK . I hate reviewing cubes, as saying crunchy, crispy, buttery, smooth, blocky, etc. just gets me annoyed IDK. 4x4: MoYu AoSu Ishayu helped me set up this cube, which is really cool. I love 4x4, although I suck at it. Yau is a very fun meth
