Day 1 Asia Champions League Summary
Day 1 Standings - East Asia
As of Day 1, Hi5 and Eternity are tied on Rank 1, making them the top teams in East Asia on the first day of the tournament. Secret Ship follows up on 4th place and T2 comes in at last place. No Show has no ranking yet as they aren't scheduled to play a game for that day.
Day 1 Standings - Southeast Asia
As of Day 1, TeamMYS and Renaissance are tied on Rank 1, making them the top teams in Southeast Asia on the first day of the tournament. Secret Rare follows up on 3rd place and Escape V comes in at last place. Rise has no ranking yet as they aren't scheduled to play a game for that day.
Day 1 Standings - India
As of Day 1, True Rippers and Revenant are tied on Rank 1, making them the top teams in India on the first day of the tournament. These two teams were the only ones that were shown to have a ranking for Day 1, and Marcos Gaming has no ranking yet as they aren't scheduled to play a game for that day.
Meta Highlights
All-Rounder Meta
All-Rounders have become the core picks for teams throughout the tournament, having at least two (2) for each team per game. They act as the team's primary damage dealers and has the responsibility of carrying the team to victory. They are also quite versitile, being able to go to any lane without any issues.
Bottom Lane Priority
Contrary to casual games, teams prioritize the bottom lane over the top lane. The reason for this is that the team that destroys their opponent's bottom goal zone will have a positional advantage to secure the boss Pokemon in the bottom lane.
Securing Boss Pokemon for Better Teamfights
Teams prioritize taking Regice, Regirock, or Registeel over Regieleki due to the EXP. and buffs they give to the entire team. Gaining more EXP and having the buffs gives a team a huge power advantage during teamfights, which they can leverage on as the game progresses.
Jungle Invades
One strategy that teams use in some of their games is invading the opponent's jungle. It involves at least one Pokemon heading straight for the enemy jungle area once the game begins to steal or try to steal as many jungle camps as possible. The purpose of this strategy is to prevent the enemy jungler from leveling up quickly, crippling its progression and forcing it to fall behind.
Jungle Splitting
Splitting the jungle is also a strategy teams use in their games. It's when teams split their jungle area into upper and lower halves where the upper part is given to one of the top laners while the lower part is taken by the jungler. The point of this strategy is to give more EXP to one of the top laner since Pokemon gain less EXP in the top lane compared to the bottom lane and the jungle area.
Eldegoss with Rapid-Fire Scarf
There were teams that equip Rapid-Fire Scarf on Eldegoss. The point of this build is to give Eldegoss a massive attack speed boost, which allows the Pokemon to perform a Boosted Attack and attach a cotton fluff to targets as often as possible. Eldegoss can then deal more damage with its basic attacks to enemies with cotton fluff attached to them.

Alolan Ninetales with Rapid-Fire Scarf
Similar to Eldegoss, team are also equipping Rapid-Fire Scarf to Alolan Ninetales. The reason for this also centers on the Pokemon's Boosted Attacks. Since Alolan Ninetale's Boosted Attacks apply a stack of Snow Warning, having the massive attack speed boost from Rapid-Fire Scarf allows the Pokemon to freeze targets quickier while also dealing increased damage. However, this build only is only effective if Alolan Ninetales learns Aurora Veil since using it turns all of the Pokemon's attacks into Boosted Attacks.

 Game8 Notes |
Mr. Mime continues to dominate as the premier supporter even with all the nerfs. It is then followed by two new comers: Scizor and Dodrio at second and third. Dodrio basically jungles effectively while racking up scores for their team - which means we might be entering Scoring Meta for competitions. |
