The Pokémon Trading Card Game 2027 Season Regional Championships took place sequentially in North America, Europe, Oceania, and South America starting in mid-September. Results have been released for four events, beginning with the US Baltimore tournament on September 19, followed by Frankfurt, Germany and Brisbane, Australia on September 26, and the Recife, Brazil tournament on October 3. Based on official Pokémon result tables, no Korean players finished in the top 8 of the Masters division across any of the four tournaments.

Masters Division Winners by Tournament

| Tournament | Start Date | Masters Entrants | Winner | Winning Deck (Limitless Data) | |---|---|---|---|---| | Baltimore (USA) | September 19 | 3,122 | Dylan Castuli (USA) | Ogerpon / Clefairy | | Frankfurt (Germany) | September 26 | 2,793 | Tomasz Haubka (Poland) | Alakazam / Dusclops | | Brisbane (Australia) | September 26 | 818 | Edmund Kue (Singapore) | Dragapult | | Recife (Brazil) | October 3 | 1,074 | Victor Caheira Rodrigues (Brazil) | Ogerpon / Meganium |

Participant counts are based on official result tables. For Recife, since the official page was inaccessible, Limitless data was used. For Brisbane, there is a discrepancy of one person between the Limitless data (817 entrants) and the official result table (818 entrants).

Frankfurt: Polish Players Take 1st and 2nd Places

The Frankfurt tournament had the second-highest number of participants among these four events, trailing only Baltimore. According to the official result tables, Polish players (Tomasz Haubka and Mateusz Waszkiewicz) claimed both 1st and 2nd places in the Masters division. According to Limitless data, both players used Alakazam / Dusclops decks. In the Senior division, Oliver Cahill of the UK won (1st out of 307), and in the Junior division, Štefan Samos of Slovakia won (1st out of 174).

The Brisbane tournament was dominated by Asian players. Japanese players accounted for 3 of the top 8 in the Masters division, while the Junior (48 entrants) and Senior (81 entrants) divisions were won by Japan's Yuto Anan and Reo Hashiguchi, respectively. Limitless data shows that 6 out of the top 8 players in the Masters division used Dragapult-lineage decks.

The top 8 players in the Baltimore Masters division consisted of 7 Americans and 1 Canadian. Ogerpon / Clefairy decks secured 3 spots in the top 8, including 1st place (Limitless data).

Korean Players and Upcoming Schedule

Country code KR was not found in any of the four tournaments within the top 8 shown on the official result tables. Because official result tables only disclose the top 8 players in each division, the performances of Korean players ranked below that are not covered in this article.

According to the Limitless schedule, a Regional was held in Nice, France on October 17, followed by upcoming tournaments in Puebla, Mexico on October 24 and Gdańsk, Poland on October 31. Pathways to the 2027 World Championships targeted by domestic players include Pokémon Korea's 2027 Korean League and the team tournament 'Pokémon Team Masters 2027 in SEOUL', which will be held for the first time in Seoul next January.
