He’s correct. Regionals filling up in less than 5 minutes and top players missing out on CP is not fair.

VGC will keep gaining numbers and it’s not sustainable to have a tournament with 800+ people with most of them taking a slot to go 0-2 and drop.

Why are vgc players so harsh towards newer players that just want to play or go to an event for fun?

Stricter hack checks.

Because those 1100 elo casuals are taking spots from players who actually want to get a worlds invite and can’t attend because they took a spot.

Going to these events must cost a fortune. On top of that inflation, prices of everything increasing. Then you spend all day surrounded by obese people who don’t shower or wear deodorant. No thanks I’d rather stay home

So not a certain rank on master ball rank? Something that actually has relevance to comp? This is what I’m talking about

Stricter hack checks would go a long way to cutting down on the number of entrants.

You're right. Doing the braindead task of hacking your Pokemon correctly doesn't require skill. Yet it's still enough to filter out a ton of the retards who try and compete.

The goal is to filter out people who have no intention of playing, not to filter out people who are bad at the game.
If you are so apathetic about entering that you can't be bothered to raise a legit team OR look up how to inject legal mons, why are you entitled to a tournament slot?

The goal is to actually filter out people who aren’t good at the game and are wasting a slot. Hacking has nothing to do with this. Something like a certain rank on master rank and CP would do better.

That wouldn't filter out the cheaters though because they just reach those with cheated mons

Yes it is. The point of regionals/ICs is to have players compete to get CP. if you can’t get a certain rank on master ball then you certainly can’t get enough CP to get to worlds. why do you deserve a slot then?

If I’m a certain rank on master ball rank, qualified for worlds in previous years or already have lots of CP yes I am entitled to a slot over someone who’s never even been past ultra ball rank.
