I won the SC SC so I got the 2 round bye at the start...

Round 1 - Bye

Round 2 - Bye

Round 3 - Blaziken
Grr... this round started after the 45 minute lunch break. I started fast and built Gardy EX. He sacrificed his Ray EX to KO Gex. Eventually I took all of my prizes and won.

3-0

Round 4 - Brian Leary (Gardevoir)
Brian was staying in the same hotel as me and we hung out together at Origins. We pretty much had the same deck... although I think he plays Fisherman, TV, and no counter gym. It really sucked to play him... =(
I started fast and used Reversal to bring up his Gex for a OHKO... I got a few lucky coin flips and won the race to get set up.

4-0

Round 5 - Jason K (not even going to try to spell the last name) aka Ness O_O
This was an extremely close game... it came down to time being called on his turn. He had two prizes to my one. He had Blaziken EX active and used Reversal to bring out my Dunsparce w/ 20. He attacked for 30 to draw his 5th prize, so it was a tie.
Also, I don't talk very loud, and with the noise of everyone, its hard to understand what I'm saying... after the match he asked me if I spoke English fluently... LOL o_O

Yep... no other languages for me. =p

4-0-1

Round 6 - Prof. Chris (Blaziken)

This was a pretty short game. I got built fast and started attacking while he had nothing. He got the occasional Oracle, but other than that, he had really bad luck. I think he used a Ray to KO a Gex, but other than that, I don't think he ever did any real damage. =(

5-0-1

Round 7 - Denise Barlock

This was my low point of the day. Denise didn't want to ID b/c she didn't think she would make the T16 cut. I told her that if she lost, then I'd give her a tie. We started playing and I eventually won. Everyone ensured me that if I lost I would still make T16, but I wasn't sure. I had a really high resistance, but I still didn't want to risk it. I thought it over and decided that if I gave her the win and I didn't make T16... I'd rather not think about it. =(

Anyway, there was like 20 seconds on the clock and I had to decide whether to win, loose, or draw. (I already won the match, though)
I thought it through and decided not to risk it. With a 5-0-2 record, I'd still make T16, so I decided to tie.

5-0-2

Top 16 was posted and Denise made 18th I think.. =(
I was so sad for her and felt really bad for not giving her the win.

So they did deck checks... Jake Burt, Ben Woods, and myself went out into the main area and hung out until 10:45. =)

I was up against Phil w/ Exploud... O_O

Game 1
I got pwned

Game 2
I managed to put up a fight and eventually won...

Game 3
I don't see how, but I did it again and moved on to the next round

=(

Next, I was against Chris (same Chris from Swiss rounds)

Game 1
Again, he had no draw. I got set up and eventually pulled off the win.

Game 2
See above

=(

So now I'm atleast 4th! Yay! I accomplished my goal!s

Now I'm up against AJ w/ Swampert/Suicune (ta3)

Game 1
I use Wob to deal some damage to Cune and Swamp EX and KO Magneton. He has no energy, and I'm assuming no way to get anymore since I took out Magneton. This was at 3Am, and I really don't remember anything else about these next games. =\

I had to read his report to jog my memory... :D

Game 2
We play a little and in the middle of the game out of nowhere he throws over his hand for me to shake and gives me the win.

Okay, so now I'm atleast 2nd and this is more than I could have ever expected. Going into the next round, it doesn't really matter if I win or not, I've won a trip already... =)

Finals - Kyle (Pooka)
This is kind of the same thing that happened w/ my games against Phil...

Game 1
Me- random basics
Him- 85 million Walreins
Need I say more?

Game 2
So right now, I'm sooooo tired. I was not totally awake, and I don't really remember this game... I know I won though... =P

Game 3
He starts w/ a lone Feebas and attacks to evolve into Milotic. I think I do 10 to it w/ Ralts.

I dunno what happened, but I think I KO'd Milotic with a boosted Gardy. Anyway, I think I took out a Sealeo and some other things and eventually won...

So we took pictures, got our trophies and stuff.

Anyway, It was like 4AM and I had to make it back to the hotel, pack, and hop on the flight home at 6AM... O_O


=)


Props--
I'm too lazy, but everyone was awesome and I enjoyed meeting you even though you have no idea who I am! :p

There are a few slops, but there's no need to put them here. =]

Sorry for the crappy report, but I'm really tired right now... :

Someone let Brian Leary know that you cant use Life Herb on a Gardevoir EX. Had I realized this rule during the tournament . . . I might have been a changed man. :)

Congrats by the way.
