How did you prepare for today's event? Did you practice with a specific person or team?During the lockdown period here in Italy, I was used to playing a lot on the DuelingBook ladder. Then, I had to stop, but I kept talking goats with friends and some of the top players in the Discord. What deck did you play today and why?Chaos Turbo. I think the deck has a higher ceiling, and when everyone is playing hate cards for it - they can still be tools for my deck.What decks or players were you looking forward to playing against?Kris Perovic. We are here playing goats now just because of the hard work he did in the past.What decks or players were you NOT looking forward to playing against?Well, I fear trinity openings more than decks. basically, I think I’m well equipped for everything but some goat format games are just unwinnable.​

What card had been overperforming for you today?Triple Dekoichi. That card helps me take the lead as fast as I can.​What has been your favorite moment of the event so far?At the moment, some comebacks versus multiple trinity openings in the first rounds.​If you could go back, what (if any) changes would you would make to your deck today?​I don’t see any weakness at the moment. Chaos Turbo decks nowadays can’t fit everything. So, I think you’re always missing our on some cards so you can play others. ​
