GGs everyone, see you at Eindhoven Game Festival!
PAL games used to take longer to localize and were released later (usually several months), so they had a bit of extra time to make small adjustments, bugfixes, or add little extra touches

Funny year. Got ranked top 5 in NL, better international wins and placements at majors than last year, made good improvements in the second half of the year, had more consistent results, and so my EU rank went...down? Tough competition.
Guess I'll simply work harder this year 👀
EURank 2025 will start releasing right now, as today we present ranks 50 to 41 - featuring a number of veterans and newcomers!
Remember that we will continue to show 10 players every day this week at 18:00 UTC, up to the Top 10 release on Friday.

shoutouts GandalfGaming for hosting and TOing!
won GameChangers #2.5 yesterday! First time winning a Dutch regional over multiple top 10 NL players, so that's a nice achievement
Also the first time I got 100% replays/VODs for every set played in the tournament, also a nice side achievement lol. Very successful day all around :)
17th/139 at somnio! satisfying placing for how stacked the bracket was, picked up a couple good wins, played lots of fun games
generally the event was very nice, vibes were immaculate, easily one of my favorite tourneys of the year
shoutouts everyone I played or spoke with, ggs :)
also of course, country was very pretty as usual
had a great time in northern norway earlier this month :)
entered 5 different games at BÅTIS (Melee, P+, 64/Remix, Ult, HDR) and got top 8 at all of them, and 2nd twice. Got so close to winning Melee, just needed to clutch up a lil bit more
GGs all, was very fun playing and meeting everyone :D

Most importantly though, shoutouts to everyone who formed a part of this experience together on this island, one that I'll definitely never forget
See you all again next time? 👀
Outside of that I experienced Melee/Smash in pretty much every way imaginable (BtT, event runs, HRC (new Yoshi PB!), ladder sets, friendlies, seriouslies, random characters/stages/items, Hyrule Temple FFA, Runden, Smashketball Remix) so I think I got a pretty full experience lol
