From an Organizer's Perspective:
It was a bit frustrating at first because we had a couple of late arrivals and some Challonge issues. I was zooming around trying to make sure everyone was where they needed to be. I forgot my stadium labels and my tape xD
Ultimately though it ended up going very well. We quickly got it back under control and had a good time. We ran 3 tables at the same time, mostly due to the amount of 5G boxes I had available, which are not easy to put together and clean lemme tell ya lol But the matches ended up going smoothly once we did. I had to work to make good time once we made it to the final 8 and I was exhausted, but that's what I signed up for as an Organizer and at the end of the day everyone told me they had a fun time.
We had a few newcomers I had never seen before which was awesome! I love when new people come out and get to blade. Some were discouraged at their performances but I made sure to encourage them as I have had my fair share of losses myself.
From a Player's Perspective:
As a player I had a flippin' blast. I quite enjoy the 5G format myself and it is always fun to see how many different combos are used, especially the ones you wouldn't normally see in a Standard tournament. I only lost once and ended up coming in second myself, so I was pretty proud.
I had two great matches with UnionAchilles. I beat him 3-0 in the prelims but he managed to predict the order I'd put my beys in and beat me 5-2 in the finals. He put up a serious fight as did everyone.
Shoutout to -Fireblaze- and his deck comprised entirely of MFB remakes lol It was awesome to watch and play against.

Favorite matches:
FireKingArd v UnionAchilles
Both my matches against UnionAchilles were serious battles with several replays between his Tempest combo and my Master Combo (Both on Wheel Zn'+Z)
Conce7 v Cdrago
The match between Conce7 and Cdrago during the finals rounds was actually great. Conce7 being one of the super young players actually put up a great fight and almost came back to beat Cdrago. It was a crushing defeat but fun nonetheless.
CosmoDragon v UnionAchilles
CosmoDragon also put up a valiant fight against UnionAchilles. We thought he was going to win for a minute as they were neck and neck in their intense battle. Definitely an underrated one for sure.
Cscramon v UnionAchilles and Cscramon v Nyxium
Battles between these guys are always intense and have to be mentioned as they all put out some ferocious combinations in their matches.
Winning Combinations:
1st. Union Achilles
2nd. FireKingArd
3rd. Cscramon
