seems it would stack, threshold would definitely change if they want to control the amount of players invited.
Most likely would be in August but not announced yet.

Im not surprised its (the venue in london) currently being turned into biggest field hospital in europe, pretty scary how big it is going to be... and is gonna be operational for at least 12 months.

They wont if keep releasing sets would be too much of an imbalance if too many cards in play!

Wonder if the location of the next World's will still be London.

Stated in the article: "TPCi also announced that Worlds will take place in London for 2021, as it was meant to be this year. This is the first time they have announced a Worlds location this early."

Stuck trying to get a refund on plane tickets right now. American Air is being dumb and refuses to give any type of refund even with COVID-19 going on worldwide.

They just might.

It is important to remember things are a mess but not equally messy worldwide... or even nationwide someplace like the U.S.A.

Rebel Clash is probably too far along to "freeze" its release, but if they set after it is delayed, I could see it happen... and that would make freezing set rotation an easy option. If they keep releasing new sets, though, that creates a larger cardpool which is more difficult to manage. Maybe it works, maybe it doesn't.

the Play Pokemon twitter account said more info on point rollovers will come out soon.

I want rotation to happen so I don't have to play against decks with Malamar or Oranguru in them.

Do we know if the points roll over means that we need more points to quialify? Like it was 350 here but it’s likely to be more now isn’t it cos of the rollover?

If it doesn't say anything about it in the announcement then we don't know

Glad to hear it's still going to take place in London next year. Was really looking forward to spectating.
