Really happy with this. I had set myself as a goal to win (at least) 1 gsc tournament this year, as i had been close but havent been able to seal the deal in the past, and i knew i could do it.
Ty to my goat Century Express for the support and advice :toast: and Theia for taking all my immediate tags to post the next round
