I am perhaps most grateful however to the people who have chosen to sign up for the BeyBase newsletter, which helps and motivates me tremendously. I have a lot of ideas, but would love to hear from all of you.īeyBase Newsletter Subscriber Exclusive Q&A I hope all of you will continue sticking with me here going into 2021!Īlso, let me know in the comments below what you’d like to see from BeyBase in 2021. Since last December, I’ve been grateful to have received support and positive feedback from so many people in the Beyblade community. My goal is to be a small part of the solution to this, both through my writing here on BeyBase and my work as one of the directors of. The game still has a long way to go in terms of better communicating to a wider audience not only the competitive depth and strategy it contains, but also how wonderful and varied the community itself is. I’m still just a guy who loves Beyblade and playing in tournaments like many of you reading this, but I sincerely hope that the value and insight afforded to me through my experience with this game over the past near two decades has been–and will continue to be–valuable to all of you moving forward. (I also have to mention that WBO Founder Bey Brad’s old Beyblade blog on Tumblr was definitely an inspiration as well!) The Goal of BeyBase It will always be a challenge to try and effectively communicate why someone should dig deeper and invest the time to understand something–in this case, Beyblade–on a more technical and competitive level, but with my experience as both a competitor and community builder, I bet myself that I could do better. You could find long form writing on other websites not dedicated to Beyblade as well (such as general toy review type blogs), but in all cases such articles were obviously written by people who have no actual experience or insight when it comes to understanding the game or community beyond a superficial surface level. You can find all of these reports on my WBO profile here.Īs time went on however, I realized that if I wanted to take things to the next level and have more control over the visibility, organization, and technical presentation of my work, I would need to create a space that I could call my own.Īt the same time, I noticed that while the community of video content creators for Beyblade was quite mature and somewhat saturated, much of the long form writing about Beyblade was confined to forums like and was inevitably buried much more quickly than it would be on a blog due to their constant activity and lack of search engine optimization. I wrote dozens of reports over a five year span, as well as three reports detailing my Beyblade adventures in Japan. Over ten years ago, I was writing Beyblade reviews and articles for Beywiki.Įventually, I transitioned to establishing the WBO Tournament Reports forum on in order to encourage Organizers and players alike to share their experiences at WBO Beyblade tournaments and hopefully inspire others to host their own tournaments. On this day in 2019, I launched this blog with the publication of my Imperial Dragon review, interview with JoJo, and analysis of WBBA 3on3 Battle Format versus WBO Deck Format.īut before I get into answering some of the questions I received from my newsletter subscribers, I wanted to take some time to reflect on how BeyBase came into being and why I believe it is important: From Beywiki to BeyBaseįor a long time, I was hesitant to take a step into the unknown and start this blog.īuilding a space of my own and putting myself out there was a scary prospect, despite my confidence and experience as it relates to competitive Beyblade.īut in retrospect, it seems as if much of what I’ve done in the Beyblade community led me to this point. Today is a special day: it’s the first anniversary of BeyBase! Thanks for your support! The First Anniversary of BeyBase!
