Following his 2nd placing at the 2012 World Championships, Glick's team was added into the Pokémon World Tournament facility in the Pokémon Black 2 and White 2 games.

In 2016, while attending Virginia Tech,[unreliable source?] Glick won the Pokémon VGC World Championships, collecting around $10,000 in prize money. This team is generally regarded as his best team.

Following his World Championship victory, he went on to win other major events, namely the 2019 North American International Championships (NAIC) and the 2020 Players Cup II.[unreliable source?][better source needed] After this success Glick became the first player to win a Regional, National, International, Players Cup and a World Championship. As a reward for winning the 2020 Players Cup II, one of Glick's Pokémon, a Coalossal, was distributed to Pokémon video game Sword and Shield players via a Mystery Gift in-game code that expired in August 16, 2021. The code was 'V1CT0RYENG1NE25'.
Though the Pokémon VGC scene was paused during the COVID-19 pandemic, Glick returned to action when Play! Pokémon began hosting live events again in 2022. He returned with a top-32 finish at the Salt Lake City Regional Championships.[unreliable source?][better source needed]
