I know you ended with a 4-3 record. I'm saying that A - it was a close game because that 2 mins was such a factor - its not like you easily beat him then got a Game Loss or w/e. B - This is my point, I don't know how difficult Florida is because I've never been there. You've never been to most states/countries, so how can you claim pretty arrograntly that Florida is the hardest State? I never claimed English States are the hardest and that Florida has a poor playerbase, just that playing Worlds Competitiors isn't uncommon.
2 worlds master champions (jason, steve)
2 senior us national champions (bobby, orion)
3/+ top 8 worlds (jason, steve, eric)
7/+ top 32 US nationals masters (heidi, martin, jim, john, eric, benji, omar)
3/+ top 8 US nationals masters (eric, steve, benji)
it's the most difficult state/metagame in the world, barring japan which is unknown, etc.
i won't even get into the type of metagame present in florida or the game-breaking archetypes or decks that have been unleashed here. 90% of the competitors are from florida alone, and yet the state pulled 230+ players for states, and 130+ for masters. it has massive amounts of players, and players that do extremely well on a global and national level. are there any other qualifications you feel should be met to show that it is the most difficult state?
how many did you have? how many big names did you have? it's not just world competitors- its world champions and national placers. in the united states. going positive in the toughest area in the world is pretty good in my book.
where are you from? the UK or something? you have a few really notable players (4 that I can think of off the top of my head) but have small sized events. It's easier to avoid the good players with fewer rounds and smaller cuts, etc. But the Florida events have both features of tough events- huge numbers, limited cuts, and extremely good players. Those are just the "really noteworthy players". Imagine all of the pretty good and very good players that aren't listed as well- people that are sometimes as good as the noted individuals at a given time. tough indeed,
