sounds like a great tournament. I never been much of a player, mostly casual but watching some of the best play just looks unreal at times

It can't get any better than this, my friend! It's the world's best against each other!

Yes, you're right! I've seen countless matches and games played by the pros and been with them too, and they make the game look so easy with all their finesse! And I kid you not!
