Um, I'm not very good at this, but I'll try. Sorry in advance if I miss everyone.
I met so many new faces and, well fuck, that's not an excuse, but more of a surprise to see our offline events growing so much. I love it.
Ever since Combo Breaker, more and more people have been approaching me and asking me for tips about SG, which I always take as a positive sign that the community is doing something right. Basically, @everyone keep doing what you're doing.
Okay. More personalized stuff:
@Broken Loose: You saw my fear, my stress, and my inexperience the first fucking time I asked you about commentary, but instead of ignoring it, you decided to help. For that, I am so fucking grateful. You really helped me keep
everything together and I can't thank you enough for that. Also, stop pushing people out of windows. I can't get Zid to shut up about it. I wish you didn't have to leave so early because I really wanted to spend some balcony time together or at least some time where I wasn't being pulled five different places at once.
@IAmAphroDynamek: I'm scared. I'm really scared. I'm fucking afraid, but I'm going to do the best that I can. This is gonna be relatively short because I've said it a couple hundred times so far, thanks for everything. You really helped our community grow and you gave us the visibility we have today. None of this would have been possible without KPB sitting behind us, cheering us on. I am so proud to be apart of a team that cares so much about this community and I'm more than happy to help with anything
and I'll try to start sleeping more often lol.
@Mike_Z: Thank you for the compliments. I'm not surprised you thought all I did at majors was drink and stuff (since that's like 97% of who I am lol). Glad I could surprise you. Also, thanks for hopping on commentary.
@Dolfinh and
@mcpeanuts: Both of you guys really stepped up to the plate for commentary AND in tournament. I'm looking forward to watching your new show grow, plus I've only heard great things about the commentary while you guys were on the mic. I'm hype!
@Skarmand: I really appreciate the advice and the 1v1 talks we had regarding community stuff. I want to keep giving back and helping the community. I'm also really amazed that you can balance helping new players, giving advice to intermediate and advanced players, AND placing high at every tournament you sign up for. That's amazing. I'm totally taking you up on that offer to be on IWBTS. Don't think I forgot. :D
@dekillsage: You did great in tournament, fam. Plus, not only at this event, but in general, thanks for all the advice you've given me about how to run tournaments and streams. Your feedback is amazing. I really hope you're able to start up the DeFoxSchool again.
@SonicFox5000: We didn't get to talk that much, since we both were busy, but good shit in MKX, fam. I saw the set and that 3-0 was fucking brutal. Its crazy that with as many games as you play, you're still able to come back and help out the SGC even if its just for a little while. I appreciate it. Thanks for not going esports on us. :^)
@dMags: You get a mention because even though you didn't show up, you were super amazing about the room and stuff. I'll see you at next GU monthly. Get ready to get bopped. XD
@Dhoppler: Goooooooooooddamn. TOP 16 BOYZ. That backseat coaching is amazing, son. I didn't believe in it until I won that MM against Fraud. Keep making Mid-West grow like you have been. Both you and
@FuLLBLeeD are key to what's happening over there. Its crazy to think that in a few weeks, you guys are gonna be making moves and hosting huge events of your own (hopefully).
@FuLLBLeeD: Would you fuck a emo bird? I would fuck a emo, brooding bird. Never said this.
@hilaryyy: Good shit meeting you! Sorry about that mini breakdown after McPeanuts saw the shirt, I was just stressed that the surprise had been compromised. Teach me GG pls.
@Saske: Your words meant a lot and I appreciate it. That was big, fam. CAN I HOLD THAT $70 THO?!

It was great seeing everyone. Elky, thanks for the words of encouragement. I've said it a hundred times now, but I doubt myself too much and those words help keep me going. Trickstar, you literally saved my life. I couldn't get home without that and YOUR LAUGH IS LITERALLY THE BEST THING EVER.
@Tommer: YOU KNOW THAT "MY STOMACH FEELS HOT" IS LIKE THE DUMBEST SAYING EVER. IT REALLY IS. ITS STUPID.
@POS Industries: Thanks for doing some commentary. I wish you best in whatever you wanna do moving forward and hope it brings you happiness. Things haven't always been cool between us, but at the end of the day, we're still friends.
