Hi everyone! My name is Gabriel Durán, also known as Gabo, and I’m a Peruvian VGC player. During 25th August, I was able to obtain a fourth place in the Pokémon World Championships in the Senior Division.
I went 4-0 in Swiss (Day 1) and 4-2 in Day 2.
Although I had played at Brasil International Championships (with a disappointing result, 3-2), WCS 2018 has been my best tournament result I’ve ever competed on. Once I knew I had got my invite I decided to put as much effort as I could.
