The champions of the 2024 Pokémon Europe International Championships (EUIC) have been crowned in London this past weekend, with UK player MEweedle among them.
The 2024 Pokémon EUIC saw thousands of skilled Pokémon trainers battling it out in the Pokémon Trading Card Game, the Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet video games, Pokémon Go and Pokémon Unite.
After three days of competition at ExCeL London, the top players were crowned 2024 Pokémon Europe International Champions.
These winners included Pokémon Go champion, UK player Maxwell ‘MEweedle’ Ember (pictured above), who beat US player Alexander ‘Doonebug97’ Doone in the final.
MEweedle said after the win: “First of all, I would like to say GGs to all my opponents, I had some great battles and a lot of fun facing everyone.
“Secondly, I would like to thank everyone who supported me, especially my parents, for always taking me to these tournaments and supporting my journey. And of course, also the whole team of TeaAndPizza, they are the absolute best and I couldn’t have done it without them.
“I don’t know what my next tournament will be, however what I do know is I will always try my best to win Worlds this year.”

“I would also like to say thank you to everyone who has congratulated me, I will try to read through as many messages as I can when I get the time.”

The news comes after it was confirmed earlier this year that the Pokémon Europe International Championships would be returning to London for 2024, like last year (see the full list of 2023 Pokémon EUIC winners here).
MEweedle is also a 2022 world champion and shared an image of his trophies on his Twitter page here:
