Leaving empty handed after yet another deep individual run is of course disappointing considering all the time and effort put into them as a competitor. The last time I was in this situation, the feeling of losing was overwhelmingly crummy. This time, the loss doesn't feel as bad and I think this is because I now know I can reach the final stage more than once, which is something I was previously unsure I could do again. I don't know when the next opportunity will present itself, but I look forward to the day where I get the chance to overcome the final hurdle. I love the game, the competition, the chase, and the people I have had the chance to meet on this website as a result. For now, I will rest because if I am being honest, I am a bit fatigued from the nonstop playing over the past year. See you all in gen 9, where new heights await.
Congratulations on the win TJ, pop smoke is looking down proudly.
