However, it was through Twitch that Arshiya invited me to this event that was scheduled for 4 days, and I accepted this challenge. And I invited my friends with who I usually play the most. So basically I had no idea that I wasn’t ready, and I wasn’t preparing for a particular tournament, but I was just determined to continue my journey, and when the opportunity came, I jumped at it no matter what.
I had a luck as well to meet amazing couple who supported me and I’m grateful.
