Thanks All!

I'll have a lot more to say later but I'll just put this out there:

This was an event that totally lived up to the hype. Outside of a World championship I don't remember the last time I've seen such a deep loaded field. All four of my opponents brought tier one decks and played like tier one players.

I'm not gonna lie: Going 4-0 in this field was really validating. I'm still not sure if I qualify as elite, but I definitely feel I can hold my own.

I also gotta give a shout out to my Buffalo boys Robin and Mark. To go from getting schooled at my Basement Regional to 3-1 top 4 finishes in under 9 months is nothing short of amazing! Mad props to those guys for learning the modern game.

With the move coming up, I'm not sure how active I'll be during Regional season, but if I have to take a hiatus, this was a hell of a high note to go out on.

Two of the Top 3 (by rating) players in the Sector 001 region (each of whom won a Masters in 2018) went 1-3 yesterday.

My apologies - just a little well-intended promotion. I'm sorry if it didn't come across in the spirit it was intended.

It’s also bad for business to apologize when I’m playing along with your bit.

Come on, man, you’re not the one who’s on Double Secret Nerd Probation.
