First event of new season is behind us ๐ช and what an event it was ๐ 5 Slovenian players played the Cup in Udine and 4 of them managed to finish in Top8, 3 of them even made it to Top4!! ๐
The cup went best for who again failed just short of winning the tournament ๐ฅฒ He played Regidrago VSTAR again and unforunately lost in the finals against .
Third place was secured by who again played Dragapult Charizard. Sadly, he lost in Top4 against Manuel and hopes for double ๐ธ๐ฎ final was lost. But weโll get them next time!
13 finished 4th. Unfortunately, he played against Marcel in Top4 and they couldnโt both advance. But he has proved once again that Gardi is still a very strong deck if piloted like he did it.
was the last Slovenian player in Top8. After bad experience with LZ Box he gave Giratina another try and it proved to be a great choice! He faced Manuel in Top8 and was just a bit unlucky with his Roxannes to secure himself the advancement.
Anabela has shown us that is not only for men. After a great start with Raging Bolt Ogerpon deck, the cup didnโt finish that well for her. However, she participated in Challenge after the Cup and finished 4th!! ๐
What a great day it was! Till next time! โค๏ธ Oh, and of course, thanks to for huge moral (and food ๐
) support ๐

New season has just started but we had to first complete the previous one ๐ณ This Saturday some of our team members were lucky enough to compete in the end-of-season invitational double elimination tournament for the top 8 players in first season ๐
lost his first game but made a miraculous comeback through the lossers bracket and won the whole event!! ๐ฑ๐ฅ We are keeping his deck a secret since he is also going to Hawaii for the Worlds! ๐๐ค๐บ
on the other hand took the easier path with his Regidrago and managed to win every game โฆ until the finals where he lost against Nino. Impressive achievement nonetheless ๐
Third place went to our italian friend and his Lugia. Big shoutout to him for visiting our local league although we sadly cannot award CP ๐ฅบ
Another member of our team, had a more bumpy ride with his Dragapult Charizard deck, but still managed to squeeze in in top 4! Congratulations!
Aleks Rogiฤ unfortunately had ridiculous prizing issues with his Lost Box and was knocked out of the tournament before managing to secure himself a top 4 position ๐ but as is always in Pokemon, next tournament it will be a blast!

Hello everyone! Utrecht ๐ณ๐ฑ Special Event is long over, and here is finally our recap ๐ณ. This was by far the most successful 2-day tournament, not just for our team, but for ๐ธ๐ฎ as well!! Three of our players played at the event and all three brought CP home ๐
The event went best for Marcel C. (Roaring Moon /wo Water Energy & Catchers). He had an amazing day 1, going 8-0-0 and only lost in round 9 against (Filippo finished 2nd at the end). Day 2 started good as well, but unfortunately with 3 losses in final 3 rounds he lost his chance for Top 8 and finished with still best ๐ธ๐ฎ result of all times - 35th place!!
Nino A. (Roaring Moon /w Catchers) missed his day 2 by just one win ๐ฐ. He sadly lost his win-and-in against Gardi and concluded the tournament 218th with score 5-3-1, securing himself more points for the Worlds invitation.
Aleks R. decided to have one last dance with his Fusion Mew that he played throughout whole season. He sadly started the tournament with couple losses, but managed to pull off a nice comeback with 4 wins in last 4 rounds. That resulted in same score as Ninoโs and he finished in Top 256 as well (244th).
Congratulations to all other players as well, especially our friend Cristian Sarnataro for his amazing performance with Chien-Pao and a Top 4 finish!

Hey everyone!
Just wanted to share the fantastic results from last weekendโs adventure at the Dortmund Regional Championship, where four of our members showcased their skills among the 1348 players in the MR category.
A standout performance came from Nino A. (4/2/3), securing the 392nd spot with his Roaring Moon Ex deck. Despite a challenging start with a loss, Nino embarked on an impressive undefeated streak until the 8th round, winning and drawing three times each. Facing 5 Gardevoir Ex decks in the 9 rounds, he managed to clinch two wins and a draw, showcasing remarkable skill in a tough matchup for his deck. With this score, he landed in the top 512, adding more CP to his collection.
Aleks R. (4/3/2) also joined the top 512 ranks, securing his first CP from his second regional โ a noteworthy achievement! Placing 452nd with his Mew VMAX Fusion deck, Aleks had a promising start, remaining undefeated in the first 5 rounds (3 wins & 2 draws), including a victory against A. Conti. However, a challenging match against a Charizard Ex deck in the 6th round marked the beginning of a losing streak. Despite setbacks, Aleks triumphed in the last, 9th round, concluding the tournament with a win in a mirror matchup.
Nik B. (3/4/2) made a solid debut in his first Regionals, finishing in the 622nd place with his Charizard Ex deck. Achieving his goal of more wins than losses, Nik navigated a rocky start, drawing the first 2 rounds and losing the 3rd. However, he bounced back, experiencing only one more loss until the end of the tournament.
Jan B. (3/6/0) secured the 918th place with his Palkia/Chien Pao deck. Despite an early exit from day 2 contention after losing in the 2nd and 3rd rounds, Jan fought admirably, winning 2 more games in the next 6 rounds, showcasing resilience and skill.
A huge shoutout to Nino and Aleks for bringing home CP, and to the entire team for once again proudly representing Slovenia on the grand stage of big tournaments. ๐ธ๐ฎ๐๐

Hello everyone!
Previous weekend 3 of our players participated in the Pokemon TCG Regional Championship held in Liverpool. While it was Ninoโs 4th RC, Leon and Aleks made their debut on the big 2-day tournaments. There were 1518 players participating in the MR category, making this the largest tournament any of our members played in. Sadly none of them managed to secure CP, but it was still an overall great performance from our members.
Best finish came from Aleks R., who placed 676th using his Mew VMAX Fusion Deck. The run started with a win, but was sadly unable to create a winning streak in the 2nd game. Facing 3 Charizard Ex decks in the remaining rounds ruined day 2 chances for him. Finishing his first regionals with the result 4/4/1 is still a great outcome and an impressive result from the faithful Mew player, ending 1 win away from top 512 and first CP on the Regionals.
He decided to have a more chilled ยปday 2ยซ, participating in the side events and having a chance to meet and exchange words with the best pokemon TCG player Tord Reklev.
Nino A. finished the Regionals in 944th place. He started his run with 3 consecutive draws using his Charizard Ex deck and the chances for day 2 slipped away fast. He ended the tournament with the score 2/3/4 which is still a great performance.
On Sunday, Nino decided to play in the Cup with the same deck and managed to secure 20th place out of 239 players participating in the MR category, sadly just finishing out of top 16 with an impressive score of 6/2/1.
Leon S. didnโt have a great start playing his Lost Tina deck and decided to drop after 5th round, which landed him in 1464th place (0/4/1). That turned out to be a good decision as he participated in the Challenge finishing 3rd out of 47 players with a score of 5/1/0.
On Sunday he participated in another Challenge which had 58 players participating in the MR category. He finished 19th, with a score of 3/3/0, sadly just bubbling out of Top 16 and the CP.
Special thanks to Kaja L. for making sure our players didnโt starve on the events, for the moral support and all the images from the event.

With only loss against Marcel in final round, Matej K. managed to secure himself a second place with Valientei box ๐ช, giving our team top two places! ๐ฅณ
Another impressive performance came from Bert M. with Lost Tina. He finished in third place, securing ๐ธ๐ฎthe whole podium!
Another Slovenian player, Matic P. (Roaring Moon) unfortunately bubbled out of Top 4 and finished 6th.
Congratulations to all players and you will here from us soon!

Hello everyone!
New year, new victories! This Saturday, on 20th January, our team made its mark at 2 League Challenges in Trieste, first held in Fatnasylandia and second in Arcana Store, both tourneys had 15 players participating in the MR category.
The morning challenge kicked off with astonishing performances from our players. Matej K. (3/0/1) emerged victorious, wielding his Rapid Strike Box deck. Along his path to triumph, he conquered M. Penco, with his last match resulting in a draw against Nino A. (2/0/2), who unfortunately landed just outside the top 4 in 5th place, utilizing his Charizard Ex deck.
Aleks R. (3/1/0) faced an early setback, losing his first match against M. Penco. However, he rallied with an impressive winning streak, showcasing his Mew Fusion deck and securing the 3rd place. A standout moment was his clash against Pidgey Control, where Aleks turned the tables, becoming the only player to conquer the control deck in the challenge.
Leon S. (2/2/0) entered the first Challenge with his Mew DTE deck, finishing in 8th place. Overall, a stellar performance from our players, with special congratulations to Matej for claiming the victory.
The afternoon brought another round of outstanding performances in the second challenge. Nino (3/1/0) secured the 3rd spot with his Charizard Ex deck, earning valuable CP on the journey to the Worlds. His only defeat came from Matej (1/1/1), deploying his Rapid Strike Box. Although Matej dropped out in the 4th round, having won the first tournament of the day left no bitter taste.
Aleks (2/1/1) aimed to win the challenge with his Mew Fusion Deck but fell short against M. Facchin in the last round, landing him in 7th place. Leon (2/1/1) switched decks, opting for Lost Tina, but faced Aleks in the 3rd round, determining that one of our players wouldnโt compete for the top 4 in the final round. Unfortunately, both players missed out on CP in the end, but heartfelt congratulations to all for their outstanding performances.
Next on the agenda is the Liverpool Regionals, so stay tuned for more updates. Youโll be hearing from us soon!

Hello everyone!
As we bid farewell to the last official tournament of the year, itโs time to reflect on our teamโs impressive participation in the event.
The League Challenge unfolded in Trieste, Italy, hosted by Arcana - Life is a Game on December 30th, attracting a competitive field of 22 players in the MR category, with the top 8 securing CP.
A special shoutout to Jan D. (4/1/0), clinching an impressive 3rd place and showcasing dominance with the Palkia Box deck. His only loss came from M. Spataro, proving his prowess on the battlefield.
Aleks R. (3/1/1) embarked on an extraordinary journey to the final match with his Mew VMAX deck, staying undefeated until the last match. Notable victory against M. Penco and a draw against M. Spataro set the stage for a thrilling final against C. Sarnataro, where he narrowly missed securing the challenge win.
Leon S. (Lost Tina + Moon) had an unfortunate bubble out of the top 4, finishing 5th (3/2/0), while Matej K. (Rapid Strike Box) secured the last spot in the top 8. With his loss facing Spataro in the final match, victory eluded him. Both still earned CP for their performances.
Nik B. (Zard Ex + Pidgeot) claimed the 10th place (2/1/2) with a notable result of drawing against C. Sarnataro in his first match. He was also unlucky to face another member of our team and as he faced and tied against Marcel C. (Rapid Strike Box) who wrapped up the tournament in 12th (1/1/3), with the 2 Drapions in the deck, he surprisingly faced only one Mew deck. Kudos to all for another remarkable performance on our journey to the Worlds 2024.
Stay tuned for more exciting updates from our group of fierce players next year. Until then, we wish you a Happy New Year filled with joy, happiness, and love. See you in 2024!
