Explaining MY Greatest Competitive Pokemon Game of All Time 

Why did he leak it? Was there any given reason?

Props to the UK team immediately announcing the leak and refusing to be party to it. Also I'm glad you noted this so openly. It would be easy to make them out to be the villains since they were your main opponent, but as you said, they did nothing wrong here. It was entirely Aquafinity being garbage. I think that challenge definitely makes this a good story; it's not when the stakes are highest, necessarily, but when you're most proud of yourself. Really good job pulling through!

I love the irony of how freezais game name is serene grace and the 1st turn, serene grace gets him 💀💀

I think the worst smogon tournament experience I had was in gen 6 XY OU. It was the Semi-final round a standard OU tournament. Not a big event by any means but it was my first tournament ever and sadly my last. I had a balanced semi defensive team centered around mega venusaur and umbreon. But I cant remember the rest of my team, other than it had u-turn and voltswitch for momentum and a scarf cleaner. My opponent was running an aegislash before his ban. He had the swords dance shadow sneak set. The opponent tried to set up swords dance in my mega venusaur but I knew how rampant aegislash was and specific EV'd him to be able to take even a +6 shadow sneak after leach seed, protect and synthesis if necessary to stall it out or force a switch. The mods watching the tournament at the time, saw my opponent set up a +6 and looked at my team and assumed it was over. I ended up winning the semi finals thanks to mega vensaur chipping away at his team with leech seed and momentum moves enough for my scarfer to clean up. But my opponent had already told the mods that he won and was placed in the finals shortly after. I was left confused and wondering when my finals round was going to be. When I asked the mods they told me that I had lost the battle, so why would I be in the finals. I had to make them watch the rest of the replay of my semi final match just to prove that I did indeed come out on top. All the while the "finals" where taking place behind me. They where shocked and surprised, but they did correct the mistake with an apology shortly after though. They also called off the current final match that was well under way. But the damage was done. Over 2 hours had passed and my finals round was finally about to go under way. At this point I was distrought confused and just not in a great mindset but tried to go into the battle as best I could. I made a few bad calls and lost the match 0-3. It ruined my perception of tournaments from smogon and now I only play competitively on a casual level on extremely are occasions.

Your crawdaunt game was pretty legendary too

I love that the footage you used when talking about Aquafinity was of them losing. So fitting

i like how one of the requirements for a good championship game is just “✅ dracovish”

India vs UK a tale as old as time

Ahh, the greatest threat to any snakes in the grass: integrity. Good on team UK for immediately shutting it down.

As a indian it feels so good to see pokemon growing in india not poke go or unite but mainline series games

Can we talk about how cool the team logos are tho? Just love how each national/regional team picks their mascots.

At first I thought UK cheated by hacking Freezai, but turns out they didn’t and even reported the cheater. Although they still lost, at least they had the sportsmanship to know cheating is wrong. Also it’s fun to watch the battle turn into a all out hyper offense vs hyper offense war.

Absolutely loving this coverage-especially all the contextual information you include on how the tournament works, how it ended, and what's happened since 2020. Fantastic video! Thanks for the hard work on this!

I was just on your channel like 20 minutes ago checking to see if I missed an upload. Then you drop this BANGER

Maybe you could make a video, where you explain the difference between a Pokémon being OU, having a significant niche and minor niche in the tier. Since not every mon that you need to team build with or around is placed in the tier, where it sees use It’s a thing that many mediocre players struggle with and recognizing that tier placement doesn’t mean a mon isn’t relevant for a higher tier. I would argue that this is the biggest barrier between a mediocre and good competitive Pokémon player and would love to see a video on it.

Super cool video man. Thanks for sharing that story with us! Massive respect for you bringing that to your country. Also massive respect to the UK team for doing the right thing.

As an Indian i can confirm that there are not a lot of competetive pokemon players around in here. There are a lot of huge pokemon fans but not a lot competetive pokemon players. I have been playing pokemon for almost 8 years now and i came to know what competetive pokemon is just the last year when a good friend of mine explained me that and brought me into pokemon showdown. Loved the video btw and ure doing a good job i learn a lot from you. Good luck bruv. Love from india 🇮🇳

The drama, the stakes, the betrayal

Please analyse more of your own games these videos are both entertaining and informative

Hey man, I got some info on your next opponent: They’re going to use 6 Pokémon, and they will not have any Pokémon from Paldea.

The switch to team flare mauic when talking about aquafinity is some good quality editing right there I tell you hwhat

I’ve seen a few of your videos now, but this one is my favorite. I love the energy, happy to subscribe and see you grow.

Freezai consistently produces some of the highest quality RU-vid content

I don't care what you say about it not being that important, you guys qualifying after so long is hella hype and I'm glad that you've shared this story with us.

Congratz man, u are an inspiration

End of the month goal! Love to see it

The ending of this video is what it’s all about ❤️

That battle was incredible, you both played really skilled moves and it was cool to see layers to the strategy. If I didn't know the outcome I would've thought it could go either way. You're both like Part 2 Joseph Joestar vs himself with all this predicting going on 😂

happy after seeing you fought in the tour for india love from india bro

Nice coverage of the game! I would love to see Finch v Omari P covered at some point.

Would love to see more littlockes, attempting it for gen 5 would be really cool

I remember watching this dude, great vid.

@Freezai I have a question. Why did at 6:32 did their dracovish get scared and swap? A fisheous rend would have rocked that rotom heat

I knew one of the people on the Italian World Cup winning team. Dedicated group, that, and very good at what they do. I'm not surprised they won.

That opponent was so good! It's a real show of your skill you beat someone like that.

Will you make a video about the recent bans and suspect tests in the lower tiers (NU & PU)? Like the bans of Machamp, Sirfetch'd, Dragalge, Guzzlord, Inteleon, Vanilluxe, Araquanid and the suspect tests of Blastoise and Scyther. If you want to add ZU there is even Klinklang xD Or even the failed ban of Rotom-Mow in NU

Freezai: As you may know, there are more than 16 countries in the world... Americans: Wait, really?

India beating UK always brings a joyful tear to my eye

Great stuff Freezai

A fellow indian pokemon fan!! Love your videos

Why would aquafinity leak your Team info? Like why would he cheat just so you lose even though he ain't gonna go against u nor is he in any team?.

Wow you channel grew fast!!

India beating UK is music to my ears,

This is my favorite type of content 😊😊😊

Listening Freezai calling out someone with a same username as me feels really weird. Just for anyone to know, I'm not the same aquafinity in this video.

That was an amaizing show of reads! Air balloon Aegislash, hilarious!

Before watching the video I'm going to say your Little Cup win was galaxy brain, it has to be up there.

"I decide to go for a predict and predict his predict" Man I give up I'm too low IQ lmao

I want to see you react to the infamous Anything Goes 5-Gothitelle torture chamber.

Great video as usual.

Is there somewhere where I can see all the cool country logos? They all looks great.

"I predict his predict" "He predicts my predict" CHRIST. THIS IS JUST JOUSTING. I don't even have the stomach to watch this commentary. And this is just qualifiers, NEVERMIND GRAND FINALS.

I love how your channel is becoming more personality driven

Underdog India beating the UK has some poetic justice to it

Yes! More tour content!

Possible to make a video on your journey to become a professional player like you now? I always wanted to play competitively but it seems really difficult to progress higher in any ladder

"Your greatest competitive Pokemon game of all time _so far_ ."

6:10 Ah yes the competitive pokemon player's monolog. Truly a sight to behold, especially when it actually works as intended.

Kudos to opposing team for reporting the leak. Though that's also them covering themselves and not being greedy.

How do you look up tournament wins and stuff like that? I’m super new looking to get into it lol

As a fellow Indian, this is a matter of pride. Thanks, Freezai.

Do you mind if I ask how you get your thumbnails to be so sharp? I had to manually edit one of mine just to get a Pokemon's smirk to show up

Love your content

Was this an official tournament or a Smogon tournament played via Showdown? I'm assuming the latter based on the footage but I could totally imagine using Showdown to recreate a match that wasn't recorded.

Dude, can you please uploads vods from your stream? I would have loved to watch you ranking pokemon but I can't find any vods on your twitch and they aren't uploaded on your other channels

True that,Never even seen a gameboy in a store here, Nintendo switches can be found but are very costly. I hope someday they become affordable and every Indian kid will get to enjoy pokemon games(We only know pokemon through the anime and most dont know the games even exist)

Really cool story and cool plays. Defnitely rooting for India next time there's a world cup (if it's not against Italy 😉)

i know that im 5 months too late, but can you share the Balnced scarf hydreigon team? It looks so cool

I like that you used primarina its my favorite pokemon

YOOOO WAS NOT EXPECTING TO SEE VENEZUELA IN THERE EVEN IN 14TH SPOT LESS GOOOOOOO

What was your greatest blunder in a high stakes competitive game?

1:35 Honestly might be the first time I have ever heard someone say that phrase.

8:30 where can i find more country team art like this?

Doesn't anticipate air baloon Agislash Runs air balloon Agislash lol

unfathomably based to win that match

This gives me inspiration that maybe one day my country will also qualify for the world cup of pokemon (not gonna reveal my country)

Another Freezai video, another comment section learning Freezai is Indian for the first time lol

Thank u mr. Fish

One question I, and others probably have, why did AquaFinity backstab you?

0:43 I think that is how my school is often called. And it is in Finland.

4:47 how did you remove the play button?

my best match was Block regigigas trapping the opponents Poke and then using Protect,Power up punch and Thunder wave to set up a sweep

Tu eres Serene Grace??? Me he enfrentado muchas veces en ladder de OU 8.

7:45 brilliant late-game predict by the opponent. they really tried to get the win back

The UK team were absolute chads in this story

The game I want to see next is Pokémon

Can you upload your team on PokePaste??

I wanna know more about the GOAT of smogon i think in one video you said his name was ABR or something

Hey could you look at radical red showdown (I'm curious how you'd react to it)

Choice scarf Hydreigon sounds fun

How do I get involved in this community? I want to play things like this

Waiting for freezais greatest ragequit of all time

Wait, you were Serene Grace?? I remember watching your matches, that's sick

You should make a video about the smogon player Bloo and why she got banned

Based freezai video

What’s happened to ranbats?

Freezai the goat

And here I thought it would be the little cup open finals because it was the biggest tournament ever

"2020 was a year of optimism" said nobody except freezai

Since the new gen is around the corner (with a new set of gimmicks), could you cover the dynamax ban at the beginning of Gen 8 for competitive singles as a retrospective on the mechanic?? I ask because even at the time I felt like it was too swift a decision and now people who have played using dynamax in other formats seem to generally agree that there's a lot of strategy to using dynamax effectively and a lot of counterplay involved. It's still weird to me that Gen 8 OU is always going to be played without one of the Gen's central mechanics, like they're barely playing the Gen over there.
