It’s quite evident from my words that I’m disappointed not to be part of this tournament, and it would be foolish not to be, especially for someone as competitive as me. This year’s pool is incredibly competitive (can we say that GSC has the best pool?!), and It would have been great to measure myself against the best, draw a line and understand where the journey that started 2 years ago has arrived, but unfortunately, this will not happen and this must be only accepted. Understand where i went wrong, or perhaps simply accept that winning tournaments, being a constant presence in the community, isn’t enough; there’s something more required, something I probably can’t give or see.
But still, I want thank all the people who’ve had kind words of appreciation for me, it truly meant a lot!
Well, after this little reflection of mine (hoping I didn’t bore you too much), even though I’m not a huge fan of power rankings, I want to extend my heartfelt congratulations to all of you drafted, and make a few small remarks on what I think could happen during the tournament.
Objectively, it’s really hard to farm in this pool given the skill of each player, but I believe that, despite the extremely high level, there are a couple who are slightly above the rest, like Conflict, Don Eduardo, and... Choolio.
There’s not much more to say about how strong Conflict is: his experience and results are more than enough to guarantee him the title of top notch, and one of the best ever.
Don Eduardo, aka Carapinga Senior, is in my opinion one of the best players in this tier.
You probably think my judgment is based on friendship and respect for Kenix, but I’ve rarely seen Carapinga play poorly. I truly believe he is a formidable player with incredible talent, and I wouldn’t be surprised if he will end being the best player of the tournament.
And Choolio. Even though I don’t know him very well (we played together at GSC Inv), that little bit was enough for me to understand how strong he is. And let’s not forget, he’ll be assisted by Fear, the greatest ever.
I’ve not seenGorgie playing so much, maybe because of different timing, but I’ve heard too many good things about him, so I consider him a wildcard... I’m curious to see what his battles will be like.
Siatam, Rubyblood, Chiles, BD, and Vani are all very strong and well-known players in the community, so there’s no need for introductions. Meanwhile, I’m really curious to see BIHI (the maestro) and the debut of MR. Soup, with whom I had the pleasure of sharing the experience of the GSCPL and appreciating his many qualities.
Well, what can I say? Good luck to all of you, and may this tournament live up to expectations!
