i guess sometimes, you perform like a clear top3 player but finish outside top6 anyway. unbelievably cursed bracket luck but i played my fucking heart and soul out of my body in those last two rounds so i'm at peace with it

^not a tourney score but it wasn't on bancho and i'm so happy with it





^ winning play of SNT 2025

^ earned a £10 bounty each for me and cheese with FC on this

^ i suppose this is more than one score but it's easily the best 5-score stretch of my entire life ever
