It is the first time it is used as qualifier in the TPC Nationals in Asia (aside from Japan).
A little bit of history
Online Competitions are usually a part of the casual gameplay, but they have been featured in the official circuit for some years now. They are one of the few tournaments in which all world regions play together, and it generally grants National invites in TPC regions and Championship Points in TPCi regions.
The most recent Online Competition was the 2024 Global Challenge II, played earlier in the same month, with the VGC Regulation Set F. This Online Competition also awarded CP for players in TPCi regions, Japan National invites for the top 150 players in Japan and Pokémon Trainers Cup invites for the top 50 players in South Korea. First place was earned by Japanese Taro Okada, who earned a rating of 1822 and qualified to the main stage of the Japan National. Taro beat fellow Japanese Sutaraitoanya, who earned a rating of 1816 and also qualified to Japan National’s main stage.
American James Evans, the 2018 Senior Division World Champion, defeated Brazilian Gabriel Agati in the NAIC finals.
