Now that I am properly up, shoutouts! Most of the tourney I was running on a few hours sleep so I may have been inattentive at times.
shoutouts to:
Happy to see again:
Ussi: Pretty devoted to hanging out with the other Ikes and recording everything. It was awesome to see you again. Doubles was really fun. I used jiggs because I was truthfully getting burned out at times, lol.
Ryo: You have improved so much since MLG Orlando, it's just amazing! You definitely earn all of your praise. It was very cool to hang out with you and True Blue. I do not mind getting styled on at times since it was also cool to be surprised by other Ikes and just make me appreciate him more. Definitely one of my favorite people at Apex.
Berserker Swordsman: I'm glad it's showing the results of your brawl practice. I know you will do nothing but improve. I think you performed very well despite the tie breaker that plagued your pool.
AiB Ikes:
It was nice to meet you guys, since you were some of the last few US Ikes I haven't met in person yet.
XLR8: don't downplay showing off your Ike man, it is pretty good.
Waldo: Same to you. It was great finally meeting you. You are definitely skilled, so don't get discouraged but grow through your wins and your losses. We laid so much destruction when we did double Ike, it was really disgusting how easy it was at times.
Kimchi: Happy you took time to come to Apex! Sorry I couldn't update you, my phone was dying most of the time and not much was happening that the streams didn't follow. I really wanted you to properly meet the other Ike mains.
Out of Country Ikes:
Nysyarc, Blubolouis, and Golden-Psyco: Nice meeting and playing all of you for real. I was really happy to see you beat all those DDDs in pools Nysyarc. I wish I saw you play for your round 2 pools. Now I know two "sharkies."
GP and Blubo, I hope you both enjoyed your time here. For the area, the weather was pretty good because of the lack of snow. Hope you both got in a lot of friendlies and learned a lot. It was interesting to see how you guys played. GP did work in the yoshi crew battle. Hope you felt okay Blubo since it was a long trip and you arrived so late to get accustomed to the new time.
