Pokemon Unite World Champions BLVKHVND Tell Us Their Top Requests For The Game
The first Pokemon Unite World Champions were crowned at the Pokemon WCS 2022 in London last weekend. The North American team BLVKHVND (pronounced Blackhand) crushed the competition, going completely undefeated throughout both days of the tournament. I sat down with the team after their historic victory to find out what made them such an unstoppable force, breakdown some of their best plays, like Kyriaos incredible Zapdos steal, and ask them about the changes they’d like to see in Year 2 of Pokemon Unite.
