Since no one asked, I wanted to clarify that I am out of the cup not because I lost, but because Kradie and I decided so.
In fact, me, Billy and Free were tied, and we would have had to play more matches to determine the winner. However, to avoid slowing down the "speed cup," Kradie personally asked me if I could withdraw, and I did. I did it both because I was asked privately by Kradie and because I wasn't fully motivated to continue myself. Certainly, if I had qualified without a tie, I would keep playing.
I thought it was fair to let everyone know. Nevertheless, I am proud of my victories. I apologize to those who reached out to me privately because they wanted to challenge me in the next phase; I appreciate it. Thank you, and have a great continuation!
