Here are some of his thoughts heading into the event:

I feel like I’m under a lot of pressure and not at the same time. I really want to showcase what I’ve been practicing, but only my actions will speak for me. I’m facing a professional player named KKokkoma, who is currently sponsored by Navi. I’ve faced him before and won, but now I’m sure he’s prepared for me. Let’s hope for the best!
