Comments from the Winner, Weiss Dream Team:
(When asked for a comment about his victory.) “I'm feeling relieved. No more stress anymore. I think the point was studying the team. Because it's not the usual team that I run with. Putting Espadas in actually saved me. So I have no idea how I was saved by Espadas. Putting him in was a good decision that I did at the last minute. You have to keep changing your team depending on your opponent's team.
Thank you so much and thank you for hosting this tournament. It was a really good bridge to the community and we feel so much love right now and as a community we love everything you do and thank you so much KLab. Mind if I say something in Arabic to all the people that support me?”
(Comments Translated from Arabic Below)
“I am truly grateful to everyone who supported me today.
I never thought I could win, but I think I was able to win because of everyone's support and the support from my family. I am grateful beyond words to everyone in the community for supporting me.
We look forward to holding a tournament where various communities can participate in the future, and will do our best to make it more enjoyable for everyone to play. Thank you to everyone for the wonderful turnout today and all your hard work.”
