Overview
The Santiago Regional Championships is an official TPCi Regional-level event for Pokémon VGC, TCG and Pokémon GO. It is the fourth and last Regional and the sixth Regional-level event of the 2024 season in the Latin American circuit.
The tournament was originally announced in January 2024 without a venue or a date. Both were confirmed on 20 February.
The ruleset is VGC Regulation Set G, and it is played using open team lists.
A little bit of history
Chile has been part of the Latin America region of the official TPCi circuit for many years. It has hosted multiple major events, including Special Events, Regionals and old-era National Championships. Chile’s greatest VGC success was the second place achieved by Javier Valdés at the 2020 Latin America International Championships.
The most recent tournament held in Chile was the 2023 Santiago Regional, played with the VGC Regulation Set C in June 2023. The finals saw 2020 LAIC finalist Javier Valdés defeat 2016 Chile National Champion Javier Ponce to win his first Regional Championship title!
American James Evans, the 2018 Senior Division World Champion, defeated Brazilian Gabriel Agati in the NAIC finals.
