“Are you going to be crabby if you lose?”
Repeating this phrase both internally and externally countless times on the way to the Convention Center. I have witnessed the upsets in the casual setting of our living. These significant amount of pressure that will be placed on his shoulders today will only multiple the level of frustration.
Winners of each round are determined in a best two out of three. Having qualified towards the middle of the bunch, Bo is forced to go against the individual who qualified directly beneath him. One could say this is the most difficult of all matches as the talent is rather equal.
I wish him luck one last time before he takes his seat next to his opponent.
The judge prompts the men with a 3… 2… 1… go!
They are off. Stacking and Tetris-ing. My knuckles are white due to the excessive force I am placing on them in an attempt to control my nerves.
Game one complete. Bo is the winner.
Game two begins immediately.
It isn’t long before Bo is victorious. Knocking his opponent from the competition.
As ecstatic as I am for Bo. It would have been a lot less stressful if he would have lost. However, I can’t get over the fact that Bo is moving on.
We looked at the brackets to see who he is to play against next… Ben Mullen. (uh oh!)
