Wizards Chat Has Passed… Now Let’s Enjoy the Rewards! (2/2 of a Special 2 part article about the chat.)

To tell you the truth, I wrote an article on that day that was to be posted about how Wizards was killing pokemon, etc. Of course, you guys have heard that already and I wrote one as another opinion.

Wizards ran the chat poorly… and that is why we got this bad impression. Now they are clearing it up at the pokegym forums, but still that’s NOT GOOD ENOUGH! They need to make this public knowledge, which I’m sure they will at Thursday’s chat.

They explain a lot of the chat there. They are doing a LOT this year… and it should be a good year. Don’t get me wrong, I’m still against Wizards segregating the 15+, because that’s just ludicrously obtuse. (Ness… sorry man that phrase > all.) But they are giving a LOT to pokemon this year, and I don’t think they are killing it.

Lets put it in perspective.

14- ECSTS  ------ 14- QT’s ------ Players

15+ ECSTS ------ Players

Old format - 

14- WCSTS ------ 14 QT’s ------ Players

15+ ECSTS ------ Players

Now we did enjoy that, but the 15+ wasn’t getting trips as it was. The only difference from todays… the 15+ big tourney and the 14- big tourney were in the same place at the same time… making it easier for parents to play. And pay.

That’s the new format. And it looks better, wouldn’t you say?

15+ seems to be getting a bit more… and a bit less. Personally, I was completely hating wizards a few days ago, but now that they cleared this up, it seems BETTER…

They still need to clear this up publically, and hopefully this will help you guys better understand what is going on. Thanks to Lord_Ninetales who donated the picture.
