How was your first experience higher level competition?

I recently played MOV at Canada Cup. I joked with him that I am the canadian TM he apologized for using Chun and said she is “too cheap”. Both rounds ended badly for me and I was sent to losers. The main difference is he exploited my weaknesses and took advantage of ever opportunity in a matter of seconds. It taught me to learn to be more “random” and really try and work on my punishes.
