I just go there and I always do what I always have done, you know.
I always prepare in the same way and I always show up in the same way.
If it wasnt for the Last Chance Qualifiers, they wouldnt have made it at all.
But yeah, I think I played pretty good here, some games for sure I played really good.
On average, I would say I had some of the best games here."

Apart from that, I feel like the patch is pretty solid.
