Taken from Jonathan's team report: "Also, on a side note. On one turn I looked up at Wolfe while I was timering him, and he had finished his move and was just staring really hard at me. It kinda freaked me out, so I looked back at my DS. 20 seconds later I looked up again, and Wolfe had not moved one centimeter. This was the most disoriented I had ever been at Worlds." Wolfe Bad Ass

Me: Wolfe Glick is some kind of Pokemon super genius. He can hard read opponents and go for plays as if he knows exactly what his opponent is thinking. Wolfe Glick: So here I chose the wrong move, and it worked out well for me and it looks like I did a super cool hard read but it was completely by mistake.

Commentators: *complimenting wolfey's skill* Wolfey: I think that's where I lost my water bottle...

Old Wolfey: the villain in a kids movie Wolfey now: the nerdy and a bit older friend that the kids call for when they need help in that same kids movie

wolfe in wideos: :3 wolfe at pokemon championships 2016 looking at his opponent: >:( real life intimidate

in four years, we should have "wolfe glick reacts to wolfe glick reacts to wolfe glick winning pokémon world championships"

"Sorry, I know this is probably more in-depth than you guys care about..." Not at ALL! This is insider baseball from a world champion! We're 100% fascinated, I promise!

I literally know nothing about Pokemon, stumbled across this video, then proceeded to watch and enjoy every second of it. Nice job man, super interesting!

Wolfe: "this video is so long, I hope you don't mind" Also Wolfe: "ONE HOUR INTRO"

It’s amazing how Wolfe de-aged over the years

Fun fact; That Tinyurl sign that you can see at 28:10 sends you to a Rick roll. I hope that person is happy that they were Rick roll me about 5 years later

Okay so from this reaction here's what I gathered -Old Wolfe looks like he just escaped prison and finds no more joy in living -Old old Wolfe hated top cut -Wolfey has friends and felt pressured by them -Wolfey is addicted to facebook -Brendan Zheng took 2 years to beat the Delta Episode -Jonathan talks too much mid-match -Wolfey had a tourney butler -Jonathan had a tourney butler -Wolfey doesn't want people to type out links -Commentary was biased -Commentary was mind reading Wolfey -Wolfey liked using intimidate in-game and in real life -Wolfey can't count handshakes -Wolfey can't remember health points -Wolfey won a game off of a misread -Wolfey johns about his 2nd place in 2012 -Wolfey needs to drink more water probably missed some stuff, but this is what stood out to me as important.

Most watch this finals for the gameplay But only intellectuals watch it for the Wolfe face at the prediction.

Remember kids, you’re not reading, you’re “covering options”.

Ezrael: "1 Egg hatched" Wolfey" "302 Eggs hatched"

53:47 When all you wanted was to be a cute little mouse but now you're in the most competitive world championship match with a flying snake god on your side against a fish with oversized fins and a roided out dinosaur.

"again, it wasn't a read. i was just covering options." the modesty and honesty

Wolfe 🏅Wolfe

The fact that Brandon Zheng had to finish the fucking delta episode between rounds just to unlock M-Ray mid tourney is honestly hilarious

Man, this story could go straight into the pokémon anime and it'd fit perfectly. Beating your best friend in the semi-final, the weight of everyone who helped you along the way on your shoulders, and a nail-bitingly close finals match. Except, you actually won the world championship. Loved the wideo!

Sees a 1 and a half hour Wolfey wideo, 'well, that's me busy for next hour and a half'. I'm only ten mins in and know it's going to be amazing. Thanks for this, Wolfe 😁

Late comment, but wanted to say, this was the first VGC Championship Set I ever watched, and you were my first world champion. This set almost single-handedly got me into competitive pokemon, and I’ve been following you ever since. You’ve been an incredible influence. Also, stop apologizing for the long wideo length. This is EXACTLY what I wanted to watch.

I don't play competitively at all so thank you so much for making the huge excitement of that match accessible to me.

ya know, reading Jonathan's report, I realized how impactful a lot of the decisions made in this game were. Jonathan mentions several points where he talks about missing the obvious decisions, such as protecting in front of swords dance, when using eruption would have won him the second game, or how if he had just spent an hour to double check his spreads and fix his gengar's evs, he'd have a 25% chance to survive origin pulse in game two, meaning he'd have the ability to maintain weather control. It really is absolutely insane how much work is put in to be on that stage, and how deserved it truly is. Congrats Wolfe, I can without a doubt say that you've proven yourself.

Typically reaction videos are pretty dumb, but this is more of a play by play analysis. You provide more insight than someone just "reacting" to a video.

Wolfe: this wideo is so long I hope you guys don’t mind Me: I’m essential on house arrest

Hearing the backstories, emotions, and experiences during and before this match makes it even more amazing to watch. I remember watching this live and being thrilled that you won (and how crazy everyone went when they realized why you had that now-iconic expression, lmao). I first learned about you when you were a guest in one of Aaron's videos (I think it featured a Charizard Y + Venusaur Pledge team?) back in 2015, and it's amazing to see how far you've come and how much success you're experiencing. I stopped playing VGC in mid-2018 after becoming incredibly frustrated that I hadn't won any events over four different formats. I got back into Pokemon when Sword and Shield came out, and started playing VGC again last month. I remember I was on Twitch and had your channel recommended to me in the sidebar. I didn't know that you streamed, so I immediately followed. A couple weeks later, I tuned into one of your lesson/lecture streams about "getting started in VGC," and your stream was the push that got me playing again. Pokemon was a huge part of my childhood, and being able to play it to this day and meet new people who share the same passion for it is an amazing experience for me. I know I'm not really anybody, but thanks for all the wholesome and honest content over the years. Your dedication to the game and its community really shows.

28:10 Clicked on link, sent to RU-vid, mad props to the lad who decided to Rick Roll everyone watching the match

This Could be 3 hours and I'd still watch every second. The World Champ giving full detailed analysis on his championship match? We are all richer for having this. Thank you.

Day seven of asking my guy WolfeyVGC: build the Eiscue team. #cuecrew

Legit these casters are fantastic, there's not many esports where the casters can actually live explain to the audience the thought process that the players themselves are actually going through.

Wolfey: *is super methodical and strategic about avoiding RNG, making sure not to bet a World Championship on move accuracy* Aaron: I've taught you well

The most iconic turn, and it was basically a "bad play". Somehow that makes it even better!

Dude I literally watches 52 minutes of this video without even knowing. Your in depth analysis of each play actually makes this very entertaining to watch.

I took a thirty minute nap and came back. It’s still the intro.

It's called a pop filter. Basically it filters out any strong "p" "b" and "t" sounds that normally sound really loud and obnoxious in recording. Basically you'll just sound really good lol

Pokemon needs to make an anime except it’s not in the Pokémon universe but in the real world and it’s about vgc. I feel like that would be interesting.

1:18:45 What you were all waiting for

Been a fan since just before the big blow up and I've seen all your videos now. This was kind of a big deal to watch, it feels special to have you talk us through your most career defining moment. Thank you Wolfe, that was awesome.

"This is a long one for me" Future Wolfey: laughs in 4 hours of Glaceon

1:26:35 RIP to the Judge who Wolfey left hanging lol

"And Wolfe was wearing glasses, to show that time had passed."

Honestly this was the first VGC match I ever watched, and I don't think I'd be so into the scene if it wasn't for this match. You immediately became my favorite competitor and I decided that half the reason I wanted to play was to battle against you ( as corny as that sounds) I was fortunate enough to battle you on the ladder this year where you made on hard read and smacked me, and I just use it as motivation to strive to get better because I try to set high standards for myself and I don't enjoy losing, so thank you Wolfey for really getting me into the scene that I have come to enjoy so much!

Over a year and a half later this is one of my favourite wideos to come back to. The analysis, the gameplay, it all comes together perfectly. I’ve watched it too many times to count at this point. To me, this game encapsulates all the things I love about vgc and I’m glad that you brought a spotlight on it

Love your vids man, you are the main reason I got into competitive pokemon!

This was super helpful for learning a proper mindset in both battling and team building. I also like the retrospective on past sets, since it gives insight into your "correct" plays and the "perfect" plays, and how many times both of those align for you.

This wideo was amazing Wolfey! I love hearing about what's going on in your head, especially during these super competitive matches. Helps us new players learn and get better at the game

33:34 "Sorry this is probably more in depth than you guys care about but I'm gonna talk about it." - Literally me to all my friends when I talk about Pokemon, even the friends who do play. I would like to just sit and talk to Wolfey for a few hours about this stuff, I don't get bored of it.

28:08 The link leads to a Rick Roll lol

Great video Wolfe, haven't seen it yet but it's probably true lol

Watched the whole thing man I’m really happy for you Wolfe. You accomplished your dreams bud nothing in the world could be more valuable than that. Respect man you’re a legend.

This battle got me into vgc and is the reason I like it so much. The story, the commentary and above all that play and Wolfey looking at the camera, that was just *chef’s kiss*

You should also react to the 2015 italian national final , in wich Pardini won with a 1hp Bisharp

I’m 33 minutes in and honestly your analysis of turn 1 just made me realise how incredibly good at Pokemon you have to be to get to a good competitive level. Wow man. Well done.

Nodody: Wolfey: “ I think I lost that water bottle at that tournament” 😂😂😂 Love you man ❤️

You are my new inspiration dude, I've gotten into VGC heavily this past year. Went backwards learned to gen in oras and USUM. Made 5 sets last night with PKSM. Thanks for being a champ wolf

Wolfey: This wideo's so long I hope you don't mind, Me in isolation watching his back catalogue to fill out my days: ... ... ...

"for a minute I thought Meowth was in my room, I'm like, what's that?" he's lost it

I'm not a Pokemon player, but these videos are fascinating to hear the background and strategy behind everything. Would definitely watch more of these!

Making mistakes yet it pays off? I prefer the term: “Calculated Risk”

Wolfey, no need to apologize for the length of the video! It’s really informative and the details are super helpful. You really help us get into the thought process of a champion. People who care about this stuff will watch the entire video. It’s good content!

Amazing video, the play by play commentary was really interesting. I love how a large part of the matchup between teams with Pokémon like Mega Gengar, Mega Rayquaza and the primals was the dynamic of Raichu vs. Manectric! The resulting Rayquaza/Kyogre lead was really cool.

35 minutes in: “We are ready for Game 1 of the finals!”

Watched it all the way through. Man, I could listen to you talk about things for EVER, honestly, you're so nice to listen to and you're always so interesting or funny with everything you say

I've watched this match so many times, but it's even more amazing to hear what your thought process was in the moment! Awesome wideo Wolfey, I'd love to see more wideos like this for sure

these videos that go over very important pokemon matches are super interesting and entrataining. you should do it for every final honestly

This was the first world's finals I watched live and it was so hype watching live and really insightful watching it again too. This was the set that got me into vgc and really enjoyed it

I absolutely LOVE the in-depth insight! Thanks for the vid Wolfey, always hoped I’d get to see you cover your worlds win :)

So when Wolfe does The Face on The Turn, everyone focuses on him, but looking at Jonathan when he SDs, that's the face of a man who knows he's screwed.

This is incredible content, Wolfe. You're such an admirable guy and I love hearing the story of your success from your POV.

Wolfey, i just want to say thank you man. Your hard work and determination in regards to competitive pokemon has truly fueled my desire to partake and grow as a battler/strategist. I am doing some good things in ORAS 4v4 FLAT and 6V6 singles. Keep it up Champ!

Actually really loved the video. I enjoy the long videos where you explain the thought processes behind everything and provide more context to high level gameplay. Would love to see more

I quite enjoy the longer video and detailed breakdown/context for what's happening. I hope you have a great rest of your day

anyone notice how wolfes handler went to give him a high-five after he won and was left hanging

I can't explain just how much valuable information this format provided. I hope you get back to it sometime cause its pure gold

Wofle, amazing video. In-depth, backstory, thought process. Loved every bit of it, Please continue making videos like this too

i love how much caos Wolfeys "wideos" used to be, I MISS IT!

I still remember watching this live. Even though I live in the SF Bay Area, I wasn't able to attend on Finals day due to the spectator rules. Wonder if TPCi will do that again this year (assuming Worlds doesn't get cancelled)

I usually don’t comment on wideos but I feel that this one deserves it. It was so interesting to hear about someone’s in depth, play by play feeling while playing in such a high stakes Pokémon match and I could hear that you were very happy to relive it. I would love to see you analyze other big matches in your career. Keep up the good work! :)

BEAUTIFUL insight !!! This is the match that got me into VGC. I was a casual for 18years until I saw this match ( I'm 26 now ) . This match made me learn EVs , IVs , predictions , foresight AND hindsight . I appreciate you Wolfey . You changed my life FOREVER . Now I'm the person who teaches others about wise plays and preparing for the end game . THANK YOU WOLFEY !!! Can't wait to see you win worlds again !!!!!! Can't wait to see you in the finals !!!!!

Really love this content, love all the analysis, brings a lot to mind for even new players. Well informative!

VGC is such a bizarre format to me because you can see Primal Groudon next to Primal Kyogre up against Raichu and Hitmontop in a world championship match, and the guy with the Raichu and Hitmontop wins.

Thanks for covering this match man i've been following you since just after the time you won it and didn't even follow VGC at the time so I'm glad I finally got to see it. Great content buddy!

Loved this video! Please do more of these analysis videos, it really shows how your thought process goes during these kinds of battles!

Bro wolfey looks badass back then holy shit. I’ve never seen a more looking gangsta Pokémon trainer then Wolfey bro.

Hey Wolfe, love your content and you are super entertaining! Excited every time i see you uploaded!

I really enjoy how in-depth this analysis is. Going through the pre-game prep thought process was very insightful.

That game made me a fan, not only of wolfe, but of vgc as well. And that was even before I knew he had such a nice personality. I loved to watch your 1h and a half wideo today, thanks for making my time at home nicer

I love how someone had to play the delta episode the entire day just so they could mega evolve Rayquaza.

I was watching this live in the middle of the night (Germany timezone) and back then I wasn't that good at competitive thinking, but watching you're reactions in the facecam made me feel like I understood what was going on. Still one of the best matches I've ever seen!

I watched the video of your Worlds win back in december 19 for the first time out of couristy cause I started playing VGC this year and wanted to know how my fav content creator achieved it. Now today is my third time watching it and it blows me away more each time as I understand more and more about pokemon. Thanks for doing pokemon YT content and belated gratz on being the 2016 Pokemon VGC Masters Division World Champion. :)

One of my favorite videos. Cant tell you how many times ive rewatched this

I like how when he watches himself make a decision, he says "I agree" like my boy, thats you! 😂

I'm loving how long this video is, I need more hour long Wolfe

You’re insane wolf. I really hope you win 2023! Good luck

I don’t usually bother commenting, but damn, I love these analysis videos. This is peak Wolfey imo. Please don’t worry about going too long, and please continue this “series.” Hearing your unfiltered thought process during these watershed matches is invaluable. I’d love to hear you talk about 2012, or really any match - whether or not you were in it - for that matter. Not only do I really just enjoy spending an hour or so with you, but these videos give me a chance to grasp VGC’s history. Thanks Wolfe, you’re awesome, and I’m super glad you get to do this full-time.

great video! you should do this with all the world championships, i love your insight and view on the game. i would suggest the 2017 championship bc i think that’s an incredible and underrated series!

This game was what really got me into VGC despite the meta. Thanks always Wolfey

I much prefer a long video than a video like this being chopped up into separate videos. This was some really awesome insight! I really hope you continue doing videos like this! Have a good day!
