A little bit of history
The United States has been part of the North America region of the official TPCi circuit since the very beginning, also being home to the TPCi headquarters. It has hosted multiple major events, including Regional Championships, old-era National Championships, all editions of the North America International ChampionshipsĀ and most World Championships (only excluding 2013, 2022 and 2023).Ā The United States’ greatest VGC success are the five World Championship wins achieved byĀ Ray RizzoĀ (2010, 2011 andĀ 2012),Ā Wolfe GlickĀ (2016) and Giovanni Cischke (2025), not even counting being the home country of 7 Senior Division and 7 Junior Division World Champions too.
The most recent tournament held in the United States was the 2027Ā Louisville Regional Championships, played with the VGC Regulation Set M-C in October 2026.
The last time there was an event in the state ofĀ NevadaĀ was the 2026 Las Vegas Regional Championships, played in PokĆ©mon Scarlet & PokĆ©mon Violet with the VGC Regulation Set H in November 2025. The finals saw 2018 Roanoke Regional Champion Dylan SalvaneraĀ defeat American player Zachary Weed to win his second Regional title! This was Zachary’s breakout performance, as later in the season, he would become EUIC finalist and Worlds semifinalist as well!
