Now for my report.
This is how we were grouped. 16 of us were grouped
in groups of 4s. I got the lucky group cause the 4th best player was in group
1 and the 6 best was in the 4th and hardest group. I was in the 3rd with
people I don't know.
We played 5 matches all together. 3 in the quaters,
the best moves on to the semi's and finally the finals. I'll go through with
you how did I do.
Match1: me vs " The Rock " or whatever
he called himself. He used a haymaker deck. It figures.
I went first with buzz on top and voltorb, zapdos
and scyther on the bench.He had a scyther with hitmonlee on the bench.I
started with an energy on buzz and used e.search for another energy. I used
comp.search for plus. and had 2 in my hand. I did thunder punch paralyzing
it.His turn and put F. energy on hitmonlee ending his turn quickly. I drew
electrode and buzzap him to zapdos. I put 2 plus. on buzz and an energy
and did 60 cause of luck and killed him. I drew a L.energy for a prize. His
turn and put a F. on hitmon. My trn and used removal again. I put an L.
on zapdos and did 30 to Hitmon damaging myself. His turn and put an energy on
hitmon. Then I put another L. energy on zapdos and used switch with
buzz and did bolt for the win. He did not have any basics.
W-1 L-0
Match2: me vs guy with raindance
I can't say this match was easy but it was. He had
sqiurtle, jiggly, and magikarp. All I needed was my trusty voltorb and evolved
him on the third turn practically destroying all his pokemon with elec.Shock.I
win
W-2 L-0
Match3 me vs Chris with poison deck
I started and he had 2 oddish, tangela and
grimer. I had zapdos, scyther, buzz and voltorb. The match was just like the
first one untill I had to oak cause of no energies then I was full of them. I
don't think I shuffled it right. Still I drew my last prize when I scooped up
Lt. buzz and went for the kill with zapdos.
W-3 L-0
Now the tournament got more intensed. I entered
the semi's after break and had to go against one of my top ten pokemon
leaders. He was 6 in Singapore and used a water deck but I was confident
cause his pokemonwere weakness to mine. Well here it went .
Match4 me vs Todd with water dech whose 6 in
Singapore. Did I mention that already?
He went first with 2 lapras, poliwag and seel on
his bench. I had 2 voltorbs, buzz up front and scyther in the back. Here it
went. We were getting energies and stuff evenly and I already knocked out 2 of
his pokemon with buzz but he too had knocked out buzz with poliwrath which he
evolved earlier in the game. We were about to deck when finally my zapdos
arrived. With Lt' surge up front with 2 electride behind with zapdos and he
with only a poliwrath, I buzzap them both and add it to zapdos. I switched him
with buzz and went for the kill again with thunder jolt. I can't believe I won
!!!
W-4 L-0
Finals were coming up and I had to go against one
of the best in Singapore. Sharon who is 4th in Singaopre and I could
understand why.
Match5 finals me vs Sharon with electric deck and
fighting
I started this time with scyther up front with
zapdos and voltorb in the back.She had 2 buzz, jiggly and Hitmonchan. I
attached L. to scyther and used e. search for L. . I too used bill twice
and had a great hand but was soon dissappointed. Her turn and she saw
that I had alot of good cards so she
used imposter oak. Dawmn she was so mean. She attached fighting energy to
hitmonchan but did not do any damage cause of resistance of fighting from
scyther. The match went on for like hours with people all over the place
watching us. I was down to my 2nd last prize while she had 1. She sent out
wiggly and did do the wave to me which did 60 damge to me cause earlier in the
game I had no basic so I agreed to her challenge to avoid elimination. She won
with do the wave and I got second.
I won 5 gym boosters, 5 fossil boosters and5
jungle booster. Anyway I enjoyed the tournament . Hope my report get posted.
Thanks Pojo.
