excited hello hyped can you hear us? Hello, yes can you hear and see me? Well we can hear it. You're just just a very nice. Hello, hello hyped you're smiling for the for the first time since the start of this tournament. Huh? Yeah, I don't like it. You know count my chickens before they hatch. I keep it calm focus until the match is over. Well, first and foremost congratulations. Very solid performance throughout the entire event. We've said numerous times on the desk that we felt like you were playing very, very tight, very well, very few mistakes. How confident were you coming into the event as a whole? Coming into the event. I wasn't as confident. I had a pretty good deck and my group was a little bit easy, but I knew it was going to be a struggle in the top 16. And then then I saw strife goes deck deck with the leather armors and I knew that was the deck. I happened to actually know the person that made the deck except right in no he made the deck at the time so I contacted a friend. His name is Matt Jess or Alan poker and twitch and asked him for a. I forgot you and why I messaged him in the first place. He's like oh yeah, you know that strife go deck. I made it and I was like okay cool. And then I was like can you coach me on how to play it? He's like sure and this guy. I don't even think he was in the beta. But right when the marketplace opened, he played over 100 games a storm and I played very little storm. I played a little bit back in the day, but I didn't really know how to play it. But he coached me up to speed in one day and taught me all the intricacies and had a. One day on the next level. Yeah. Could you run us through why you included the leather armors or what the purpose is in the deck aside from just the survivability. Okay, so then the number one reason is. Just just to be able to cycle the blank dagger. The blank dagger is very, very important. That way you could like. Yeah, well, we all know that blank dagger is important. So the signal ring. That one more goal. It adds up the other. The other reasons are. It's not useless because with our draw range or ogre magi and our Zeus are all our seven HP heroes. The leather armor protects from dual and berserkers call against acts of Legion. So it's. It's pretty good there. And then it's pretty good with dialogue as well. So. Yeah, and even the tree and protectors right into like the Phantom assessment attack range. Yeah. Except that that always happens on term one anyways. I you know the leather armor. Yeah. I tell you taking notes throughout the whole tournament. Oh, yeah, like a paper next to you. What was going on with that paper? What would you kind of know picking down throughout the games? So that is going to add something where you can see the gold. But I just write down the gold. To track it just so don't forget it. And then the other thing I write down, which I would actually recommend it. Anyone is a. If you make a misplay and you know you make a misplay, I just write it down that way. I don't think about it. Or else it's stuck in my head. So I write down the misplay. Yeah. I'll come back to it later at the end of the game. And that actually helped me a lot. It's pretty interesting. So I got to ask about the list. Do you see this as being these strongest or one of the strongest lists in the game? And like what other directions do you think it might be taking potentially? Do you think it's counterable? Um. Yes, it. There is sort of a counter in the works, except for the counter only beats this deck. So until the field. So it's a horrible against the field. But if the storm dominates the field, then the metal will the counter will start to work its way in. Um, but yeah, the. It's all still new. So it's. Remains to be seen. Um, sorry, was the other question? Uh, I mean, do you expect it to be basically like the strongest list? Uh, yeah, we, um, mean frozen. We're testing the mirror a bunch because we thought there would be a much a mirror in the top 16. So that's why there's three eggs in there. Um, but, um, if people try to go aggro and faster to beat it, which, I don't know, I mean, hoist list is kind of like as fast as you can get. So I don't know if people are going to go in that direction, but you could just throw on a third any cost that card is nuts. Um, and then other than that, we'll see. Did you, did you feel unfavorable going into the finals? Like when you saw hoist list and you saw he was going to be your opponent? Because that to me is like the one deck that might be able to beat that. Um, I actually played tested with boy the day before randomly. And, uh, we just played one game and I destroyed him and he was like, uh, I guess he can't beat that deck. And I don't know if he was standing back in here or something, but I wasn't, I was pretty confident going in. What? Sunspan, Sunspan says you're really handsome hyped. Oh, thank you, Sunspan. He's a handsome man as well. So, uh, yeah, I was more scared of Stan Sifka's deck because I figured he had more experience against storm and I figured he built his deck to beat storm and I'll lead in Santavers scary. So I want to ask you about the event itself. Uh, did you enjoy it? I mean, this was the first constructed, you know, artifact tournament. Um, is this something that you would recommend for the future? How would you like to see things improve? I've exceeded my expectations and I'm not saying that because I won even on the first day when I saw the stream. Very high quality way better than expected the first time it's a props to a production and we play. And you think the four of us find as well casting casting was impeccable. Oh my god. Do you think the four of us find as well with the kind of GSL groups and then the playoffs being single limit, single elimination. Do you think there was, you know, something to improve or do you think it was, it was fine as it is going forward? I mean, double elimination doesn't hurt if we want a longer event, but I mean it's fine if they want it shorter. All right. Well, uh, that's it from us unless you have any last minute final words that you want to throw our way or any shout out. Thanks to Team Liquid, uh, Matt Jesu helped me a lot and also Gara and frozen who helped me practice a bunch as well. Well, congratulations again on your win. Impressive showing. I imagine we're going to see a lot more you in the future. Thank you.
