Seeing the trident rush was painful every single time. Can't counter that: if you block everything he gonna still either chip like there's no block at all while being safe, or force to sac a bar. And in Ij2 i played AM the most, not even biased or something. But that's NRS fault, Dragon did everything that was permitted to achieve the first place, and he did it better than others. That's it. You can't hate on him, especially since he's an actual positive player. Not disrespecting or trash talking or crying when losing.
HoneyBee used Aquaman vs the best Aquaman atm and lost, but he didn't get rekt, the games were really close. That mirror is honestly complicate, couple errors (or debatable plays at the max possible skill level) here and there and Dragon experience and patience (often underestimated, he might be boring but he's one of the best in patience games) given him the upper hand.
Given this, only god knows how much i wanted HoneyBee to win an event like this and how much i respect his attitude in all these years. But 2nd place was insane too, seriously. He still got some good money. And enough points for the top16 at the Pro Series, so don't worry we will see him at another godlike event soon.
