DHA's an S Tier event? Right after EVO? That's incredibly strange, and makes me wonder how the next one or two remaining S Tier event (s) will be planned.......
Also, something worth noting (while not being semi-relevant) is that while it has been said that this summer is incredibly taxing on players, it should be this past week mroeso than any other part of summer. Do well at EVO? Take a week off. If not, here's an A Tier for you to do well at, and the people who did well at EVO probably wouldn't be there bc it's an A Tier and they just had a good run at an S Tier. But now...hey guys, next week we're having ANOTHER S Tier event! You know the kind that determines your pgr rank!
To have to try to repeat your performance at EVO, or to try and do better than you did at EVO, just a week after, must be incredibly tiresome.
I imagine we might get a few notable upsets from dha.

Salem Ryuga 2-0 ZeRo Nairo in Doubles.


I would not call it another upset since Salem just won EVO and all
Still. Ryuga winning that 2v1 in Game 1 and Salem just destroying stocks while keeping all of his until the last 40 seconds..

EVO is an S+ Rank now and other tournaments that meet the criteria will also be S+ (more effect) even without the change it would of been treated the same just now it is more known and not less noticeably

Still, it's like having your final exams one day and then having the final exams for the next semester one week later. It's incredibly taxing on players to have such stacked tournaments so close to each other.

Man, Samsora almost got to not only send ZeRo to losers but also VoiD. He's shown some amazing clutch factor this tournament, but a shame he couldn't close this one out.
