Several tournaments occurred in the past few weeks in the South East Asia region such as Indonesia National Championships, the Philippines National Championships, and Singapore Regional League. The Indonesia and the Philippines National Championships occurred on May 13 - 14, 2023, while the Singapore Regional League occurred on May 6 -7, 2023. The events in the Philippines and Singapore follow the International English format while the Indonesia National Championships follow the Japan format with the last set being Triplet Beat. In these events, Mew VMAX won both National Championships while Arceus VSTAR and Giratina VSTAR managed to take the win in Singapore.
Here is the list of the top 8 of the Indonesia National Championships, the Philippines National Championships, and the Singapore Regional League:

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!
