What do you guys think of these events? It turns out that Mew VMAX is so strong in the South East Asia region by winning multiple championships. This also means that we will have our Indonesia and Philippines representatives for Worlds 2023 in Yokohama! On the other hand, Arceus VSTAR and Giratina VSTAR are winning in Singapore Regional. I really like how this format shapes because of how diverse it is. I really hope we get to see another deck winning a tournament in the following weeks!
