This is where I drown, I didn't make my goal of reaching the top 8 but I'm still happy with Fractured Sunshine and a good chance for a token from Revenge of the Drowned. I want to thank all my D2 competitors for pushing me so far, especially themastergrant, you're an inspiration.

During this tournament I got my first two (and so far only) 30+ AAAs, got a lot more confident on going for AAAs on 20+ songs and increased my AAA count from 160-something to 256 and rising, increased my comfortable scrolling speed from 2.4 to 2.8, learned the usefulness of trying out the Mirrored option when I'm stuck and discovered how asymmetric my playstyle can be (there are some patterns I can handle fine in one direction but never get perfect in the other), and even though I felt like my score on Breakout wasn't great compared to the rest of D2, it was still my highest AAA equivalency of any song and finally bumped me from level 39 to 40.
