Hello all and welcome to a TES article where today instead of talking about Worlds or Celestial Storm or the 2019 season. I will be reflecting on the 2018 season. Please note that this will be the last article on pokebeach because of the minimal response on my articles. I will still be writing them but they will start going onto my blog website.
Topics of Discussion.
1.1 Broken Records
1.2 Meta Snapshots (Quarterly)
1.3 Released Sets and Influential cards
Broken Records
Multiple records have been broken from event numbers to results lets have a deeper look.
Events
On the 27th of January the Dallas Regionals broke the record for the highest attendance overall and for an Expanded tournament with 1052 people attending. Although the record for overall highest attendance was quickly snatched by the Collinsville Regionals with 1066 people and the highest attendance for a standard tournament. BUT its not over recently on the 6th July the NAIC broke two records with 1534 people. This event broke both the Standard and overall attendance records.
Another recent record broken is an unusual one which includes our FAVOURITE flexing bug Buzzwole. Buzzroc the most popular deck for ages has scooped the record for the most points and meta share. Buzzroc has smashed the record with 2152 pts and a meta share of 10.52%
Tord Reklev the Trader has broken a record this season with most points of ALL time and most international wins. Tord Reklev has won 3 Internationals and came 2nd at the NAIC with a zoroark control deck.
