after not running an RB last week, this week felt the massive dip in terms of entries, going from …32 - 32 - 30 - 30…to…18. i’m not sure where everyone was, but overall it was a pretty big disappointment, at least to the person running the tournament. ggs to everyone, one more left.

Overall it was fun. Although some of my matches were soooooo laggy and near unplayable, I still managed to pull it out of my ass somehow in those. Regardless tho, GG’s to everyone.
