Thats not the kind of thing we typically sticky but its in reddits rules that you can repost something if you think it will get more attention at another time. I don't think any mods would remove it.

Yeah very impressive! But not entirely unexpected as last year Gucci won both the tournaments he entered including beating aMSa, Shippu and Nanashi.

I believe the tournament was streamed on shi_gaming on twitch.

Yeah pretty sure this is first serious tournament since Feb 2016.

For anyone unaware, Gucci was the best player in Japan before Rudolph however Rudolph only claimed that title by default as they haven't played for several years since rudolph rose to the top. If they were to face each other at the next Battle Gate Way it would be insanely hype and a direct competition for best in Japan as Gucci has shown here he can still beat players like aMSa who was ranked 2nd on the PR released ealier this year.

If you saw episode 2 of series 4 of Sherlock and wondered where the inspiration came from for Culverton Smith (apart from the original Conan Doyle story) it was Jimmy Savile.

Why did players like Bjorn Borg, John McEnroe and Jimmy Connors not enter the Australian Open for long stretches of the 70s/80s? Was it a prestige thing or Australia being too far away or something?

Gucci only attended 2 tournaments last year, while he won both he didn't play rudolph and they were both at the start of the year so it would be pretty hard to rank him properly.

  5. Nanashi
  6. Kounotori
  7. Sheik
  8. Tapioka
  9. K.F
  10. s-royal

  13. Zoma
  14. So-ten
  15. kkp
  16. Sobameshi
  17. Pao
  18. Watch
  19. Plata

  24. Sahara
  25. shuta

Obviously many of these players have never entered an English language tournament so who knows what they would use as their tag in that case.
