Finally back and able to gather my thoughts. After a long travel and incredible jet lag I can confidentially say that @SlashbackEvent was well worth it. For a complete spur of the moment suggest from @Cammachino after having just met at Frosties, it was more than I could imagine. Being able to meet with such incredible people, there are almost too many to thank. For starters I am incredibly thankful to the staff for allowing me to hop on the mic. Coming from abroad, I thought the chances would be slim to none, but they trusted me with capstone slots for my favorite games. I do have mixed feelings about my performance. Despite my best efforts to mitigate the jet lag, I feel like I severely under performed for BBCF top 8 due to exhaustion. Its an incredibly daunting task to speak on the performances of a community I have only very recently begun to connect with. Nevertheless, I am super grateful to the people who came up to show appreciation for my efforts. Shoutouts ofc to my co-comms @XiePlus, @bubbaex, and @DeadwardFGC for carrying me through the community matchup knowledge. Also very thankful to @DarkGravityFlam, @JDxImpetus, and @kilovollt for the day 1 good vibes and letting us chill for the hotel tv/ironing board sets. Thank you again to all the incredible people I talked to at the event. I hope to be back sooner than later. To my EU peeps, do not sleep on regionals.
