Realized my post-regionals tweet had me forgetting to thank my testing team! Ever since I got married, I've had to put more time into my life outside of TCGs (side note: I gained a tremendous amount of respect for people who are balancing TCGs with partners/kids/family/work/life because it's definitely a bigger struggle than I gave credit for).
Joining a dedicated testing team helped me become more efficient in the time I do have left to devote to TCGs and helped me get the recent results I've had. Between top 8 at the Houston Riftbound Regionals (
#zentinels) and this weekend's top 8 at the One Piece Regionals (
#redbullfinals). Even better, it lets me live vicariously through my team's results so that I can be happy even when the results are not my own. I get just as much joy in my own tops as I do cheering for Yonas/Kyle in their trip to EU regionals/Treasure Cup or seeing Zent/Phi/Pao win/top the Treasure Cups/Regionals at Toronto with all the hard work we put into testing Bell Luffy internally.
Hopefully they can keep it going at Orlando and I'll definitely be watching/cheering them on!
