I have to say that FSAK was the best tournament (out of the 3-4) that I've ever been too.
Props to Idlemind for bringing it out, and dealing with all of us for 3 days. This ended up being a good reason for me to travel all the way to the north for the first time, and was really something for me to look forward to. Because of you, I was able to meet some of my Xbox live friends face-to-face for the first time, so thanks man.
Props to everyone who attended, for being the coolest group of people at a tournament. Usually at tournaments, I expect to deal with at least a few a-holes, but everyone was real friendly and open as well as ready for a match. You guys are what made it so enjoyable, and I wish/hope that all tournaments would be this way.
I'd like to say that I didn't expect the competition level to be so high; it was truly the country's/world's best sc4 players in one roof, and I didn't take it seriously enough. My record (and some of my streamed matches) shows it all, and its what I deserved. But I found alot of new players to keep track of as well as new players to respect. I thought I was good, but after watching everybody, I TRULY found out what it means to be good at this game, and I still have alot of work to do. I even wrote a blog entry about the whole experience, which I might put up soon.
Props to the whole ATL crew -- each and every one of you out of this group are really good players and competitors. I appreciate the pointers and help from Shinji and Suphy. RTD always seemed to be pretty cool, and this tournament was no different. SwordLord has been a regular opponent of mine for the past couple of tourneys, but I've yet to win. This tournament in particular, your skill level seems to have ramped up.
Props specifically to Mick, ZeroEffect, and Malek. You guys don't know it, but watching your matches really showed me a valuable lesson as to how to be good at this game the most. Mick and ZeroEffect in particular, you guys play your frames very well, and I will use your matches as a basis help me improve. So.....yeah......thanks for, uh, showing up. ^___^
Props to Hawkeye, THE coolest person at FSAK. It was good to finally meet you in person, and I have to show respect for being one of the top players at an SC4 major, while using one of the WORST characters in the game. MUCH respect for you. That says alot, and I hope to see you again in the future.
Props to Surge! It was really good to meet you. Like I told you in person, your videos were the first ones I looked at when I first played SC4; they taught me alot, and still have an influence on me now. Good luck in the monthlies (if you are playing in them)
Props to Dreamkiller and JJJ for DESTROYING me on stream. Now I see how much of a beast Amy is, and will come better prepared.
Props to Jerry/FuzzieViking. We had ALOT of good matches together, and I think you did really well for your first tourney (way to pick your first tourney venue!). You are really cool and helped make FSAK much more enjoyable. Plus your parents are even cooler for showing up there too! By all means, catch me on XBL.
Props to HajimeOwari(very cool guy with very scary yoshi), Whoaazz (congrats on the win!), J.R (did i put your name down right?), KrazieCD (I'm DEFINITELY going to look out for ALL your matches now; you're really good!), OOFMATIC, JustKill (very cool guy), Luck (impressive Setsuka!), and more that I cant think of right now. Seriously, if I forget your name, let me know in the thread, and I'll update this post! There were really too many people to remember/mention.
Also, thanks to Jaxel for the stream work, which my friends got to watch, and I get to use for reference now.
FSAK FTW, wat!
