About 60 peeps.

Well, here we go again, I am going to another QT,but I already got my ticket's for the STS. I wanted to play for boosters. (They weren't Revelation....=/). I met up with a few people and talked to pojo board peeps. Erik Rust was there, #2 in NC, we were representing NC. We played and I kicked some arse. But, He had Feral, and I had Victreebel. So enough rambling....

4x Erika's Maids

Strategy: Too have my opponent get little~no chance of powering up and to Trap them by using Victreebel's PP to kill weak basics.

At around 10:00am we start the Atlanta QT.

Round 1: Erik Rust~Feraligatr
-How ironic, don't you think. I couldn't believe it and he couldn't either. We start and I get off to a 3rd Turn Victreebel and gust up his Totodile. He flips tails on the Focus Band and Chaos Gym for the entire game. I was just too overpowering for his weakness and I never saw a Feraligatr.

~1-0-0(3pts)

Round 2: Quiet Kid~ Steelix/Umbreon

- Well, I am still kind of wondering what his deck was because it went so fast. He started with a Neo Genesis Onix. I RSA he twice getting rid of 2 focus bands.I laid an energy on my Bellsprout and tackle for 40. Now, he makes a big mistake. He lays down a Neo D:Eevee, lays a dark and flips tails.=/. He passes and I rid his Onix of a Focus and then he lays another dark on eevee. ^_^;;. He flip tails and passes. I knock out both at the same time and that's the entire game.

~2-0-0(6pts)

-Round 3:SomexxGuy(pojo)~Feraligatr.

I was happy to see Feraligatr...not! He was very cool during the game reminding me of..well...me. He was cool the entire game. Well, we both stalemate b/c I didn't get any energy and then make a stupid mistake. I lay down my Smeargle and then he double gust's it for the prize win with 2 cards left in his deck. He went to the Top 4 and lost to Erik.=/

~2-1-0(6pts)

- Round 4: Keith Gibson~Feraligatr

Once again another Feraligatr. He was cool too. He had some Jap. Energies which I thought were very 1337.We start and I get a Cleffa to his Totodile. =/ He puts a Water and fails to attack. I draw a Maids and well, maids! I knock the Totodile with in 3 turns(focus band). I get 2 fully-powered Victreebel's out and then Fragrance Trap his Totodiles for the win.

~3-1-0(9pts)

~ Round 5: Jacob Nelson~Meganium

I think that this was a great match. I start with crap and never really grasp this match fully. He got a Meganium out and I got it out by locking a Rocket's Scthyer w/o energy since he didn't have enough energies to kill it. I gets another one and puts my Murkrow asleep. (We both have on prizes). I flip to retreat my Murkrow and send on my Smeargle to put asleep his Meganium. It fails and I lose. That was a great match though.

~3-2-0(9pts)

~ Round 6: A guy~ Feraligatr.

He was cool also. I think that he was happy for that I won. He got out a Smeargle which K.O's my Victreebel and I got another one out and gust up his Totodiles. I K.O them and all of his babies for the win.

~4-2-0(12pts)

Waiting was hard b/c I was 4-2. Buffy was nervous and was talking to his pojo friends. I got 7th since I 0wned with the HIGHEST % in the event. That seemed funny too me. But, hey, I got in, aight.

Top 8~ Quarterfinals- SomexxGuy

Well, this is not really a great battle since he decked like 6 times. Well, I wasn't trying b/c he needed the trip worse and I was already going. For lack of effort, I almost got him, but I didn't so....that's cool.

I got 1/2 box of boosters of Neo:Discovery. =/
