Good matches watched between samsung blue and fnatic, where ssb lost unexpectedly, due to good warding by fnatic's xpete. It was so intense and ssb's dade was so disappointed he cried :( but he made a good comeback in the end against the last team match last night (:
But that isn't the main takeaway from the matches yesterday. For the first time, I felt how it feels to support the hobby of your significant other. It's like soccer, but different, because I can actually participate and join in the games, to play actual support and get them assisted kills. It feels good to support the people you love and to know that you are appreciated for being there for them. SBB went to exchange skins to get the last year's skt skin and I was like just take my skin I don't need it anyway. He was so delighted I felt so happy I gave him the soft toys I caught during the throw outs too (the swag). It's nice to have but I know it means more if he has them. Come on I play on the Australian server on my Mac because I don't have a copy of windows lol what can I do with the skins I have?
It's important to support the people you love, even if it means learning a new game, spending time watching how champions are played. Taking a feint interest in the game just to impress the other person would show in the end.
Two weeks leading to the championships I had no idea how to view the champions and I couldn't even follow the movements on the screen, but after hours of paying attention I can safely say I can follow more than half of the movements, detect when a flash is used and stuff like that. So, effort does pay off.
And SBB was really really nice to me I felt so appreciated ((: he bought Starbucks, fries and wraps from Texas chicken, and went to get water even hehe my favourite 100plus edge (: he kept asking me if I wanted a shirt but honestly I felt that the quality wasn't very good, compared to what I have at home, so I didn't buy any.
Who doesn't like to be supported? I never would have expected myself to be found in a gaming championship. Never, not in this life, not in the next. For friends too. It smarts when people close to you dont really support you or is happy for you, giving you mood-dampening, eye-rolling responses. Mum used to be like that, but now she's excited that I go for worlds. (: it feels nice that she is interested in what I do, although I know she can't sit through 15 minutes of ANY movie.
Took me two years to learn this, and I'm glad I did.
