I’ve won a trip to Gamespot’s studio in San Francisco to compete in the finals of their SSBB tournament. Today were the quarter and semifinals. I managed to win in the first one and in the semi, I won by default because of disconnections. We got disconnected twice during the semifinals. I think it was intentional. It’s really strange for it to occur unless someone had a really bad connection. There was very little lag present in both matches.

I was up by one stock when it disconnected in the second match, and so the Administrator decided to give me the win. I was very fortunate but hey, it’s not my fault that it keeps disconnecting. It was a close match though. One of them was a Marth player, the other used Falco. I used DK throughout the entire tournament.

Now all I need to do is fill out some information before a deadline and I’m good to go. The only problem I’m going to have is that I’m afraid of heights. They’re paying for the airplane flight which is great, but I’m really afraid of getting on one of them. I’ve never flown before, this is going to be my first time. A simple roller coaster ride like Disney’s Space Mountain scared the crap out of me when I got on it once, imagine how I’m going to feel in an airplane. I hope I don’t do anything stupid.

Lance7 - If you saw me online, it’s because I was playing the tournament matches. Sorry man.

Well, wish me luck. Hopefully I can win this and win a 700$ Best Buy gift card.

Congrats hope u have fun! And good luck
