Results from the Pokémon 2013 United Kingdom National Championships

The final European National Championship of the 2013 season is sure to go down in history. With 364 Masters, it was possibly the largest video game National since the beginning of the Video Game Championships. 104 Seniors also rounded out the event ensuring both groups got a Top 16 cut. As the final live event of the European circuit, a lot was on the line and some of the game’s best were present to earn some Championship Points. Once the dust settles, we’ll have a full Championship Point update so players can see how much June’s International Challenge will play a part in their invite.

Additionally, some information was released during the competition that may change the game for those chasing that 2013 Pokémon World Championships invitation. We’re still waiting to see something published on the web, but some or all of the following may be done:

• Top 8 Masters at the UK National Championships will receive a travel award to Worlds
• Top 32 Masters in Europe ranked by Championship Points will receive an invitation to Worlds

We’ll need to wait for an official statement from The Pokémon Company International on this news. What doesn’t change is who the Top 16 were from this tournament:

Congratulations go out to Kyriakou and Plusle on their wins as well as the rest of the Top 16 for a job well done!
