Introduction

Hello readers! Andrew here with a new article covering the latest major tournament. What? An official Pokemon TCG tournament during the pandemic? Not exactly, but a tournament with an impressive scope nonetheless. The team at Limitless TCG kicked off their online tournament series a few weeks ago with their first of four qualifier tournaments. These tournaments take place online through the Pokemon TCG Online client and allow players from all over the globe to participate. The turnout for this tournament was by and large one of the highest we’ve seen this season with over 1,000 participants. While there might have been a few hiccups along the way, Limitless has made great strides in providing a competitive outlet to players who are currently sheltered inside their homes during the COVID-19 pandemic. 

This tournament has also pushed the meta further as we reach the final weeks of the UPR-SSH format. As we await the release of the newest set, Rebel Clash, we have one more tournament remaining until we close the book on this format. In this article I am going to break down the results from the Limitless Qualifier #1 and analyze what decks performed well. Finally, I will be providing my own meta predictions and suggestions for anyone who is thinking about participating in the next qualifier happening this weekend. I will not be able to play in this one, but I will provide all of my honest opinions to help others get ready for the last tournament of UPR-SSH

Let’s go!
