God is dead. God remains dead. And we have killed him. Who will wipe this blood off us? What festivals of atonement, what sacred games shall we need to invent?

ROTY candidate for sure. Glad to see ben nguyen get to the second round, but it doesn't look to be going any better for him.

Some of it was good posture, some of it was that he was very effectively pre-parrying Nguyen's hands to create openings, but another big part was that Nguyen spent way too much time leaving himself completely open while going for sweeps and subs
