>>30513735It's a mix of paranoia and pessimism really, that and the fact I stump myself trying to think of an anti-meta core myself. I know even XernDon got countered, I was there in SanFran myself to see it happen and I was blown away at the fact the finals weren't PDon wanking.
I'm a little confused though how was CHALK countered when it still stormed Worlds. Was it countered after the fact because we were behind or something?
Funny enough, after comparing GACK Premier to that early Virginia Top 8 from VGC16 that people keep spewing to this day, GACK is still more diverse than XernDon and arguably CHALK.>>30513787Makes sense, I'm surprised it's not mostly injectors though with all the need for Celesteela and TopKek.
