Don't worry about that, she bopped EmperorCow as well. You were doing good!

Nah, I could've gotten higher. My Momiji wasn't fully prepared since I focused too much on Rig. But she learned the Helena - Rig matchup.

Now you learned not to neglect the shrine maiden. Better luck next time!

The pressure was really high though. I feel like I did my best, and I hate playing on stream. Wish you could've seen my matches off-stream with Momiji. I was on fire there.

Also, I can't play Momiji in a tournament because I'm a nervous wreck. I keep doing 1PP or something like that. :l

It's fine, I would've been nervous as hell too. A free trip to Japan is a dream.

F*ck. I just saw they made a mistake in the group stage. They typed the wrong result in challonge. It says I lost 3-0 against someone but I actually WON 3-0. Oh well...

You did great! Congratulations on making 7th place! How was the competition?

Would that extra win change anything?

Thanks @Kasumilover98. The competition was intense. A lot of high level play and everyone was much better than ever before.

Actually, yes @Corza. Then I would've placed 1st in my pool and would have faced a different opponent, since: 1st place fights 4th place from another pool, 2nd place fights 3rd place from another pool, etc. It's all hypothetical, but it could've ended very differently (both better or worse).

Mate, I only got to see one match you've played on stream (I think was during the pools) and you were using Rig. You've shown so many great stuff. I really enjoyed it. Too bad for the final result, but just don't beat yourself down. Everything will help you grow stronger. Keep going tourneys and more importantly keep enjoying it and having fun. I really wished I couldn've come.

You would've been tied with the Jack Light who beat you, so I think it would've been the same.

Well, if it's a tie, then they look at amounts of sets won/given away.

@ULTIMa Ivanov - I was on fire with Rig in the pools! But the bracket was so nerve-wrecking, T_T. But thanks for all of your kind words, man. I appreciate it. I learned a lot (especially how to cope with tourney pressure, I think I had more control of myself compared to last time). I really hope you will be able to come next time buddy! ;)

By the way @Corza I think you're right. It would've been the same even if they entered the information correctly in the computer. If there's a tie, they will look at number of sets won against tied opponents. I lost 2-3 against Jack Light so he would've been first place anyway.

I hope the replays will be uploaded somewhere since I was only able to watch the GF. 7th place is still great, no need to put a face on!

Thanks ToKyo! I feel much better than yesterday. I was disappointed and expected too much of myself. xD

I will watch all your matches carefully. I hope to be your enemy next tournament!

I will find your weackneses

Tulkas, my friend! I will watch the videos too and hope to eliminate my weaknesses by then, lol. Hope you are able to attend next tournament.

oh, I have never survived against Elena Bathory neither :/
