Colonel Colver in the beezy! Except, I registered as "Shift Nebula," figure that one out. Anyway, on with the show!
I'll start off with how the tournament went for me. I got there and was a little nervous, and talked to the first person I recognized who was available, Sly Bass. I asked him a few questions, and we had a nice conversation, then the tournament started. Throughout the tournament I was trying to talk to everyone I can, I met DestructionBomb, HoldJunkie, Kwiggles, and Gill Hustle, among others. I was just talking with everyone until my first match came along, and I greet my first opponent, Sonic Fox.
My first match, I made a bit of a mistake, not taking my opportunity to do a button check, as I was not used to the no lag monitors. The match begins, and I already get a bunch of support just for picking my character, Eliot. The matches, for the most part go back and forth, but Sonic did end up 3-0ing me for that set. Sly Bass, Bomb, and Jaeger were all cheering me on through that match, and it was incredible to have that much support. Even though I lost, I did enjoy that set, and I'd love to do it again.
More mingling and chatting later, I meet Jaeger, and he said he was impressed with my performance against Sonic Fox, and I thank him. We start talking about Eliot tech and he tells me about his dirty unholdables with Rig. He says to me that he hope I can fight my way through loser's bracket because Eliot is so rare, and deserves spotlight, and that I had potential. A few minutes pass, and my next and final match came along.
Gill Hustle was my next match, and we had a good set. I had a lot of fun playing him. The thing that got me so nervous was the winner of that match made it to Top 8. I really wanted that spot, so I played my hardest and got it. I was congratulated by a lot of the people, then had to leave short after.
Unfortunately, I couldn't make it to my final day, because of travel issues, I couldn't make it. My apologies for that.
Post tournament thoughts: The tournament was incredibly fun, and meeting people in that awesome atmosphere, and everyone was so genuinely nice, and it's a great feeling. I also seem to have caught a bad case of "Tournament Withdrawal".
Anyway, that was amazing, and I cannot wait until future tournaments! See you all around.
Honorable shoutouts:
Sly Bass- helping me with information I needed for the tourney.
DBomb- Chill guy who I enjoyed talking to in person after knowing him for over a year and a half.
Jaeger- Gave me a huge confidence boost and cheered me on every step of the way.
Sonic Fox- Trolly dude who had me cracking up during our entire set.
Gill Hustle- Great sport and enjoyable games.
Was great talking to you all!
