Grats to the winners, although i'm just gonna throw it out there and say the trip was probably a waste of money (reasons to be explained later, events first)
Thursday night I went to a concert, so I had about 3 hours sleep before my 6am train, got to the coach station, had a bit of banter on the coach, destroyed everyone on there bar one of my matches vs kaga which was bs hax, friday night was pretty cool, we just walked around the event area, and to the hotel, got some pizza (my pizza was meant to be pepperoni, like fuck it was, worst. pizza. i have ever bought. ever. fucking like cream cheese base or some shit, little bits of hammy bacon and onion, what the fuck.) anyway, chilled in the hotel lobby area doing some batalhars, I gave twash my team and beat him in a cheeky little mirror match.
Got another 3 hours sleep before vgc, headed down and met drug duck and the other germans. Got signed up, front of the queue with dozz.
R1 - Turn one, Sunny Day + Overheat vs zapdos. Boom. Open the game like a boss, make a few bad turns, but clean up with sunny day + volc vs suicune
R2 - Played a german guy, he was using rain, so my matchup was pretty safe, although I got so many crits it was unreal, if you're reading this im sorry man, it was pretty bs.
R3 - Paired up against Hogan, SST, was pretty worried cause he was running something I don't like facing at all, although I thought i'd be able to cope, since I'd practised specifically against it a lot, in short, I was caught out twice by things I hadn't expected at all, although I think I played as well as I could, he was just the better battler.
Rest of the event was cool, I just watched the battles, talked to people, all cool.
Wandered around the paris shops after vgc, then I just got ill, fukken shitty ass shit, pretty much spent the coach journey dying, spent £50 on a train from london-liverpool cause I didn't want to be on another coach, then spent the past day in bed.
tl;dr i didnt like paris because i lost early again and had the rest of the day to kill, spent said rest of day and days afterwards ill, and night coach fuckin sucks, some dick infront of me put his seat the full way back, and add to the fact i have long ass legs, it was incredibly uncomfortable.
However, it was great meeting people I wouldn't have normally met at UK vgc, like drug duck etc, and thats why region lock would suck dick
