The 2013 US Pokémon National Championships are over and the winners have emerged! As the final event of the year-long North American circuit, this was the highest stakes tournaments of the year so far with many players playing to either maintain or break into a position in the Top 12 for the elusive Worlds invite.
Your new 2013 US National Champion is Gavin Michaels (kingofkongs) who after a tough season in his first year of Masters, was able to break out of the bubble and into top cut. He defeated Enosh Shachar (Human) in a series that is sure to go down in Video Game Championship history for reasons you’ll see in the videos coming soon.
In the Seniors division, we saw Paul Chua (WhatARandomName) come out on top with a win over DeVon Ingram (dingram) in a finals match showcasing an incredible amount of skill on the part of both players. One of the best matches of the day in any division, you should make sure to check it out when it’s up on our YouTube channel later this week.
We also got a chance to check out the next generation of Pokémon players in the Juniors division as Beau B. (Oreios) won his set against Maylee Hornak (maykiri) in the only 3 game finals of the tournament.
Congratulations to the winners as well as everyone who earned their invite this weekend or made top cut!
