| Â |
| “How about TOURNAMENT OF LEGENDS? How was your experience here?” |
| Â |
| “It was very impressive to walk into that huge ballroom, and to see all those faces I only saw in videos. Like, meeting Jason cole, Choi, Shirts and so on; I know the old school US scene a little bit, and it was just great. About playing, well it was just as amazing to play with such names, on dat CigarBob’s cab ! Nerdgasm lol. Even just watching games was so nice.” |
