 Intercontinental combat. This pro competition is in full swing, but the best still get to remain the best. The way that pro comp has gone so far, you know, it has actually been a rather mixed bag of results. There's definitely been some surprise players, I think, and again, it kind of stems from being able to see them grow throughout the course of a year. I think one of them definitely is Val, a real Sindel master, the specialist. Another Russian player is currently racking. He's playing out of his mind. He's improving a lot. Like everything he's doing is so difficult to get a turn back guaranteed, and another hit misses the ender. Who cares? Look at the life difference. Ow! Swazi, he's been in the Grand Finals twice already. He's really strong, really impressive to see how good he's gotten really fast. He's a player from New Zealand. He's a young kid, but he's also super good. I mean, I played him like maybe six months ago, and I feel like we were equal, but since then he's just really, really, really leveled up. Eight seconds on the clock. Swazi's in huge trouble. I don't think he's going to get it at this point. Swazi just backdashes, and why not? The Hail Mary fatal blow doesn't matter. Being a little bit of a biased UK fan is Raichu TQ, formerly known as Josh TQ. Going away from being exclusively an Aron Black player, he has got into this realm of playing, you know, Scarlet, Sindel. My brother's just amazing at the game. It's something that you can only dream of, you know, in terms of competing. My brother alongside me winning tournaments first and second. Now, at MK Reven, we really discovered new talents, players like Vywa Seem, him and Fezal Combat. The community has always been so insanely community tournament and exhibition focused. It's just taught them how to, you know, deal with competitive environments with EU. There's a lot of names that you've never seen before, and they're just bang, three are, you know, upset you're out of tournament. This region, there are a lot of amazing players that put up a very good competition to top level players. Sometimes we do team battles between our region and other regions. We really win every time. If I take all these players and take them with me to offline tournaments, I'm sure they will all do well. We've been locked down in OC for a bit, so we're only playing OC players. I feel like it's a strong region, but it's just way smaller. You know, they've always put their passion into the game. The scene's put in the work and they're catching up. Here we are. They opened the customs. The level of play that we're seeing in the game right now with customs has, like, really evolved pretty quickly as well. I think every character has benefited from being able to kind of take whatever move they want, because the variation system meant that characters had weaknesses. You use a couple of capabilities together, like, really improve them. You know, it's a good time to try new characters, to try new variations. And I think customs just makes it so that characters don't have weaknesses. Tournaments are the best place to be in the world, as far as I'm concerned. But we can't right now. We still don't give up. We practice online. It's been a really good experience, you know, having fun playing online with the stream as well. You've been able to compete every single week and we've been able to watch so many players grow and thrive under those conditions. My dad was actually the one that got me into the competitive scene. He said that this is only the beginning of your journey. Yeah, here we are. We were, like, growing together and trying to do our best. It's been a really positive thing for me and has really given me something to look forward to and work for. Fingers crossed that I can give you guys a lot more hype and content and, you know, be the people who stand for a little bit longer. Let's keep killing it. Eventually offline is going to come back, so you guys know I'm going to be mopping you all offline.
