Had a great tine at the Rangers game on Sunday. It was a good way to get Pepsi more exposure to crowds & cheering.

This past week PTSD has been really affecting me. From getting ill at Worlds and bringing home to my family, missing a friend’s funeral service because of said illness, my performance at Worlds, overall a lot of negative things causing me to spiral. I’m finally starting to come out of it.

My stats for the season. Went to a bunch of events, and even staffed a few. I realized after EUIC that fatigue would really get to me as tournaments went on, so for Atlanta I tried a new strategy to minimize fatigue.
