Hi, everyone! We just beat Team Liquid. Game one was really exciting—I hope everyone enjoyed it. We didn’t play our best in that game, of course, but we prepared really well for the second one. What else? I’m so excited because I’m right here in this arena, and there are so many spectators here. I’m very grateful for this moment and genuinely happy for myself—that I’m participating in this tournament. Thank you to everyone watching, thank you to all the spectators. Let’s go!
