With all the 50+ teams submitted, and the first qualifying round draw happening this weekend, the World Cup of Pokémon VGC by Victory Road is ready to be start. It’ will be the biggest team tournament of the year, that will inspire (hopefully) many metagame developments.
Important Dates:
August 2 - August 22: Qualifying Round 1 - All 55 teams will split into groups of 3 or 4, based on the pool draw next weekend. The top 2 teams from each pool after a round robin will be seeded and advance to Qualifying Round 2.
August 23 - September 12: Qualifying Round 2 - The top 32 teams will be seeded based on their performance in round 1, with the top 2 teams from each pool advancing to seeded playoffs.
September 13 - October 10: Playoffs - After the top 16 teams are found, they will play in a single elimination bracket, until 1 team is remaining
Player Pools:
Many of the top players from around the world are playing, This Includes past world champions like Paul Ruiz and Arash Ommati, as well as many current top players, Such as Kyle Geffner, Mattie Morgan, and Francisco P. Pero.
A lot of smogoners are playing in the event, so I would love to hear some thoughts from: zeefable North Lilburr Jomatoes Animus dev611 Serapis maovgc kingofmars raisedintyo InkVGC Human
Questions:
Some food for thought -
Which teams do you think are poised to make a deep playoff run?
Which teams do you think will be underdogs that make it far in the tournament?
Which Restricteds Will have the highest usage?
Which new Pokémon will find a place in the meta?
What are you most excited for?
