Van's been pushing me to come out to these. SNCI was the first tourney I've ever went to, which was a little overwhelming seeing as how 60+ people were there and the venue was packed. But this past weekend's was pretty relaxing and more enjoyable.
I have to say though, even though I don't play BB as much as I used to, NCI's still been a pretty fun experience overall. It's interesting to see how skilled (and hype) everybody is when they play or spectate. Everyone's also A+ friendly so I don't really have nerves when playing them, since I expect to get bodied anyway. :P So shoutouts to everybody for making my tourney experience very welcoming. It motivates me a bit to take the game more seriously so I can at least be challenging to play against. I'll try to make it out to more of these when I can.
