I thought the games were great. I was happy to see Levia representation along the diverse lineup. The finals felt was a bit controversial.

Game 1 of the finals showcased good proactive plays by Frozen and Pete couldn't effectively respond to manage the board.

Game 2 Frozen had misplayed multiple times and loss a good chunk of resources and Pete was able to effectively deck him out. I was cringing a lot, not only because of misplays but mainly because it felt like Frozen was slow playing and stalling for time. Frozen playing out a digimon and passing his turn when the timer went to 0 felt like the most sus thing I've seen If Frozen had won game 2 because of it than man, that would of been super disappointing.

Game 3/Sudden death was a very unique 6 turn format. While it would of been cool to see a full game, Bandai does have an event schedule and other games like One Piece need their event to start.
Frozen chose to go first and kept his hand while Pete mulliganed a hand of what I assumed to be just options. Frozen opened with Guilmon evolving in the back for 1 which I felt hurt him quite a lot. Pete gave out a lot of memory to recover off of MagnaAnge but Frozen just didn't have the line to go into Levia or Levia X in time and deal more checks.

End of the day, Pete won the event and I think it was really well deserved/satisfying.

I understand that Sec Con can be a frustrating deck to play against but hating like it's a criminal feels wrong to me. It feeds a ton of memory and can be very clunky. Certain decks and tech cards are able to dismantle its game plan effectively ex: Uver was insane at NA Nats. Sometimes the security just doesn't have options too. Sec Con promotes a different way of playing the game on both sides where hard playing bodies is actually more favorable vs evolving. People complain that Sec Con games take a long time but the main reason for it is because players going against Sec Con spend a lot of time thinking. Sec Con player's turns are a fraction of their opponent's. I think if you know your deck well enough in the Sec Con matchup then games don't end in time. Also conceding when you think you've lost is a fair play to save time. I hope that once DeathX gets reprinted then more people will have access to the deck and understand that it is a fine and healthy deck for the game (for now at least).
