Get ready to watch some of the best Pokémon TCG players in
the world show off their skills in the upcoming Draft the World tournament.
This competition, which is part of the 25
years of Pokémon celebration, will take place on September 18 and 19, 2021,
starting at 9 a.m. PDT each day. You can watch all the action on Twitch.tv/Pokemon.
This tournament will feature eight of the best Pokémon TCG
players in the world reliving the best decks and matchups from past World
Championships in a double-elimination-bracket extravaganza. Each round of the
event will focus on a different World Championships, and all players will use
exact copies of the decks that made it to the top tables that year. To shake
things up, however, the players will draft the decks they wish to play before
the tournament begins.
The competitors in the Draft the World tournament will be:
-
Ross Cawthon
-
Nathália Fernandes
-
Lydia Hombach
-
Pablo Meza
-
Chase Moloney
-
Xander Pero
-
Michael Pramawat
-
Tord Reklev
The broadcast will last 8 hours on both days of the
tournament. Day 1 will feature the draft and opening three rounds, which will
include matches from both the winners and losers brackets. Day 2 will feature
additional drafts and the final three rounds, which includes the Grand Final as
well as interviews. To help guide you through the competition, Jeremy Jallen
and Kyle Sabelhaus will provide expert match commentary.
What decks will be picked first? Will the matchups you know
and love play out the same way, or will a new pilot be able to take the deck
all the way? Tune in to the Draft the World tournament on Twitch.tv/Pokemon on September 18 and 19
at 9 a.m. PDT each day to find out!
