I was expecting more internationalization, to be honest. But oh well...

As a European player, I am ecstatic with Arash Ommati's victory. Hopefully us finally winning the World Championships will lead to an increase in activity for the game in Europe, it's been a good three years since I used a Mamoswine and although I avoid Choice items myself, it was great to see something more unique at such a high level. I am also quite amazed that Ryosuke Kosuge managed to get as far as he did (Master's VGC runner-up), considering how many of his Top Cut matches were decided by mere luck.

I think the event will get there eventually. Holding it in non-tropical locations is a start.

Just holding it in Japan for once would be nice. Of all place to hold it, Japan seems like the most likely non-North American location.

Also, holding it in Japan may help mitigate the huge US dominance that is always there in the World Championships. That way players who didn't win free tickets could still participate via LCQ. Then again, I guess holding it in Canada didn't really cause Canadians to perform better than previous years.
