2x National Champion, 2x Regional Champion, 3rd at the 2016 World Championships: Markus Hamann (formerly Stadter) is one of the best to have ever played competitive Pokémon. With a career that stretches back to 2010, dive into it all here: how he bought Pokémon Silver as a child as a means to convince his parents to get him a Game Boy, how he kept having to ask permission to bypass home internet restrictions since he did so consistently well in online tournaments, how he somehow managed not to let his anxiety get in the way of his phenomenal 2014 National Championships run, how he met Wolfe Glick & the 2016 Worlds run and so much more - and, as always, discover the 6 Pokémon most special to Markus over the years that he'd choose for his Dream Team. Come hang out & have a laugh with Markus & me, and let us #MakeYourDayMerry !

What are Markus' fondest memories as both a competitor & a caster? What advice would he give to those who aspire to do both? What hidden talents does he have?
