Jonah Alter shared the following ahead of his 2023 EUIC attendance

“My primary goal is to place in the top 512 of the competition, to ensure that I earn Championship Points to help me on my journey to qualifying for worlds.

I’m striving to try reach top 64, which will all but secure me my invite for worlds on the spot!

Points aside, getting more international exposure is great for my Pokémon career and will help me prepare for my next worlds venture”

Harper Kayser shared the following ahead of his 2023 EUIC attendance

“My Goal for EUIC is to grow as a player and learn from an international experience, I am excited to meet new people and play my first international. I hope to make day 2 and represent the community back in South Africa.

My ultimate goal for the 2023 season, now that CP is back, is to earn points at EUIC and then finalize my qualification to worlds back in South Africa”
