Sorry if I missed any, there are just too darn many of you!
I saw 30 players from MN and our extended scene.
Congrats to all on their strong showing and a special shout-out to Jacob Balcos on the three-pete in Open Doubles against one of the GOATS! That was one of the strongest 3 bar performances I've ever seen!

The streams are still on twitch for a few days.
My top non-MN match recommendation: Merlin Arment vs Mike Weyrowske in the Pro Singles final. Mike had to come ALL the way back from a first round loss to make the final. Tons of 4-4 games and awesome shots and big blocks. Congrats to both players on an awesome match!
