“I came for the match experience, it’s been a while since I came back, so, I wanted to see how it’s going. I heard it’s a pretty new tournament (from the last time here).

“I am not familiar with the terrain but I mean, I try to go into every tournament with the confidence that I can do well, and see what I can do in this tournament, yeah.”
