Sometimes I think "I wish I was better at my hobbies" Then I remember there are people much worse than me at the same hobbies who tell me they think that. And it makes me realize that the people who are better than me also probably think that. Basically you just have that feeling no matter what.

After a small break, Dynasmash was back, with Thom winning in a hard-fought grand finals against an unexpected challenger! Bracket: www.start.gg/tournament/d... VODs: - Pools youtu.be/JFAep_Al87g - Top 8 youtu.be/UqHIxbCCUC8 GGs everyone, see you again next month!

Funny year. Got ranked top 5 in NL, better international wins and placements at majors than last year, made good improvements in the second half of the year, had more consistent results, and so my EU rank went...down? Tough competition. Guess I'll simply work harder this year 👀

Back home from Festa 2025! Feeling indescribably blessed with how I've been able to spend a week on an island connecting with nature, socializing with friends and playing Melee to bring it all together. Truly an experience I'll never forget for a lifetime
