I have no idea who first will be im shaking
At #2 I have @SquirtleRFT
The lingering question with Squirtle is what if. What if he could have played all 12 events, how many would he have won, what would the stats have shown, how different are our best player conversations when we add that much more data?
For this list I did not want to hold the missed events against him entirely. The question I had was "will Squirtle deliver once he starts traveling?", and he answered that question instantly with his performances in both Singapore and LA. Proving that he was not going to slow down. One win can be accomplished by many, two is an anomaly, the consistency Squirtle showed in his 6 events he attended can not be denied.
After placing 22nd in his first RQ, his worst placement btw, Squirtle would immediately embark on the longest unbroken win streak of any player after finding his Legend in Azir. He took a Legend that was knocking on the door of the metagame and made it look unbeatable, and the stats support his unbeatable status with the highest win rate of any player by a large margin.
For the RC a new question arises. Can Squirtle replicate his dominance on a new Legend, or was this mastery of Azir one of a kind. He hadn’t needed to put down the emperor yet due to the best of system and a metagame that still felt solid for the list but now with all the pressure to win and a deck commanding 43% of the players including Squirtle to go that direction does he lose the edge of complete mastery of a Legend? Or was it never about the Legend, and Squirtle’s mastery was of Riftbound instead?
My gut says it was never just the relationship of player and Legend, but Squirtle just fundamentally understands Riftbound on a level that very few others currently can reach. The RC season is the time to prove it once more, to separate from the pack argued to be the best in the game with a statement victory at an RC.
I think people should understand that if someone makes an illegal action on stream it's almost definitely an accident. The most sus people are who 'sloppy'/'accidentally cheats' off stream but play super clean on stream
That’s wild. You can just play a shovel for free if your name is NBC Eric??
Then conceal it underneath your seals from your opponent and judges 🤔

I have been debating myself and others about Sabotage in Rengar and this is the conclusion I came to
@RandyyyTCG @TalionHS
So apparently Copenhagen and California have different weathers. Bring a jacket if youre going to Stuttgart!
Came to Copenhagen for transfer and I remember my friend telling me rye bread is good so I ordered that with Coffee(they dont have ice). I dont know what to do with this
Played 2 pre-rift and @emilyywng wasn't in either of them and I went 3-0 in both today! I think I found the secret to winning pre-rifts
Just played my first pre-rift at 100T
Won 2-0 going into round 3 vs @emilyywng.i clear her board and hold a battlefield with 11 might. She plays a 3 might dude with accelerate and disarm 2, another unit that gives +2 and then doubles the might with brawl and clears my hold. 😭😭
I have PTSD from -5 blue decree from LARQ, went to a nexus nights for fun and ran into 3 Viktors and got blue decreed 10 times and Im not even exaggerating. I hate that card with all my life Holy crap
I've had no problem with judge calls in this event, but 2 things I wish could be slightly changed.
When judges come and side board check you, can they just pause the game for that duration? I'm always worried that I was a dumbass and I can't focus.
Ended up going 5-3 with rengar today in LARQ
Round 3 I lost vs Pyke because I played forerunner+noxus instead of Kaisa +2 noxus. My reasoning was that I was so ahead I thought star cross was fine, complete misevaluation. The table next to us had a judge call that distracted me.
Round 7 lost against diana 2-1
Game 1: I had too much tempo on him and won
Game 2: I was at 6 point he was 5 with 100 tentacles and played baron
Game 3: I had the game on lock and played thrill of the hunt on rengar to 2 might tentacle when he had 2 runes up thinking it's safe
