First, huge thanks and congrats to Juggleguy and his staff (including VGBC) for organizing this amazing event. It's one of the best tournaments I've ever been to and I met a ton of awesome people. I also really appreciate how everything ran on time with plenty of time for spectating and playing friendlies / MMs.
MD/VA people (Chillin, DoH, Wenbo):
it was fun traveling with you guys. Thanks to Chillin for doing a bulk of the driving. Landon, I may suck at this game for getting rested and losing to Bieber but at least I made it out of pools haha. Seriously though, it sucks you were kinda off during the 2nd round. Happens to everyone at some point though and you still managed to put in work in the doubles losers bracket.
Wenbo - stop SDing with Fox LOL
Tutu - I never really got a chance to say this in person, but thanks a million for housing MD/VA and CT.
Other ICs players:
Fly - it was great to meet you and chat throughout the weekend. You're such a smart analytical player (I expected no less from a math PhD student!) and I learned a lot from you. We made a pretty good team too. I hope to see you again a Apex, but if not, hopefully there will be a Genesis 3.
Trail - you're a really cool dude. Meeting you in person only makes your boards personality even more hilarious. ggs all around and good **** beating Scar in bracket. I hope to see you come to the EC some time.
Wobbles - beast commentator. Probably the best the community has ever had imo, even on no sleep! In both singles and doubles I lost to advice you gave to my opponents
Kels - ggs in pools. I would have been really frustrated if you pulled off the comeback lol
Unknown - you are hands down the best Fox player vs. ICs when you are on point. sucks you had controller problems
CT people - SloX, BolT, Joe:
Good seeing you guys again. See you at ROM5?
Dempt - good times at Steak and Shake. Your stories are hilarious. ggs in pools too.
Mango - you wrecked me, not that I was actually expecting you not to or anything... Watching you repeatedly beat Hbox with ease is awesome.
SFAT - I think we played for like....1 stock lol. Good seeing you again.
Duck - Man I was so close to beating you in bracket. I was kind of salty too because I totally would have plowed through Frootloop and Westballz right afterwards to claim a spot in the top-12
ggs and good job beating unknown in pools.
Silentswag - ggs. I was surprised you didn't go Sheik.
Vudujin - your presence makes every tournament more enjoyable. Whether it's teaming with level 9 Luigi, putting in work vs. top players, or rocking out on the piano, you always give me something awesome to remember.
KirbyKaze - you wrecked me worse than I thought you would. I gotta watch your set with Fly and take notes.
HankyPanky - I never met you but damn you did more in your 2nd tournament than most people have in their entire Smash careers. I want to see you become a top player around here. You got the talent to do it.
Sung - I'm glad we got our MM in. You're a lot smarter than most Falcos out there.
metroid - congrats on winning PM and thoroughly impressing me. You're such a friendly and humble guy and I wish I played you a bit more.
ORLY - ggs in both brackets, though it was kind of off-putting that you just got up and left after our Melee match. I can understand the frustration of being chaingrabbed though.
darkatma - Good meeting you and thanks for helping me warm up
Renth - good **** in the Ganon challenge LOL
Cunning - good meeting you and I wish we got to play. I was really impressed by your gameplay.
Moose - I don't think I even got to meet you
Not sure how that happened.
kalamazhu - damn we never really got to play besides like those 2 stocks. Good meeting you though.
Everyone else I played - ggs
I bet I forgot a few people but if I think of anyone else I'll put it here.
