Nick15 Goes to the
ECSTS
Hey! Well, it turns out that I DID
go to the East Coast STS. I just pretended that I was sick
during that weekend just so that I can surprise you! My
photos just got developed from the ECSTS, so I've decided to
share it with you.
On the day before the main
STS event, Friday, I took a road trip from my home
in Daly City California, all the way to New Jersey.
It was a long and torturous trip, but since it was
the STS, it was WELL worth it!!
This is the outside of the
place where the STS was at. I like the poster they
drew up for the STS. It 'twas very keen.
The line for Sign-ups for
the main tournament were quite long. Fortunately, I
got there early and I zipped through
registration.
Hee hee, I pity the people
who came after me!
Since I was in the
tournament, they gave us really cool T-Shirts. I
wonder if any are on eBay right now!
So far I've amassed quite a
Pokémon T-Shirt collections... I got the one
for winning the STS Qualifier back in March in San
Jose, the West Coast STS tournament T-Shirt, and
then this snazzy T-Shirt. Score!
While I was walking around
the place, guess who I saw? The Webmaster of the
biggest Pokémon site on the internet, the
Pojo!! We shared a few laughs, website complements,
and other stuff. He was one cool dude. :D
Also a major hot part of
the STS was the.... NEO GENESIS PREVIEW!
Words cannot explain the ultra coolness of this
preview. I certainly can't wait for the set to come
along!!
The tournament started at
around 12 Noon. I decided to "think outside of the
box" with the new tournament format and play my
Prop15 Rain Dance deck.
The first round was very
easy. My opponent just happened to be playing a
Turbo Arcanine deck. I tore it apart like it was
nothing. Score one for Nick15!
Round 2 was a tad bit
tougher. My opponent was playing an Electric
Trapper deck. Fortunately, only my Squirtles were
weak to Electric (I had other non-weak-to-Electric
Pokémon in the deck). Even with a change in
strategy, I was still able to win.
The rest of my rounds were
iffy though. I ended up in §¶th place,
with 5 wins and 3 losses. Oh well.
It was getting later after
the tournament, so I decided to get going. Just as
I was about to leave... guess who I saw?? The
infamous Dark Master Trainer Mike! Score!! He was
very busy, but I talked him into taking one picture
for the site. Good times.
After that, I left the STS,
knowing that even though I didn't win, I had a lot
of fun... which was what really counted. :D
