[@DavidSzajnuk]

Wanted to give my personal thoughts in the comments since this is more about the group reaction We had well over 200 people at the watch party as there is a whole area in the back that was standing room only that isn't visible on the video. Don't feel like I got to truly take it all in until rewatching later as I so conscious of making sure the event went well for everyone that I wasn't as relaxed to react. The redemption arc for Mako with Rise is insane! NewJeans crushed it and I loved that there was a continuous story throughout with the journey of the players. It was unique and felt like a massive step forward from last year where it lacked the continuity. The stadium, the setup, everything about this was incredible and I don't really have good words for how special of a moment this was. Hope you all enjoyed and have a great day :)

[@SaraGon15]

congratulations was awesome, but if i may ask, how did you do it? i mean rented the club/bar/place for the night? it was a cooperation with to many people involved or there was ticket for the entrance or something?.

[@DavidSzajnuk]

@@SaraGon15 I've been hosting watch parties in NYC all year, so I have a prexisting relationship with the venue. They weren't sure if they should do something for Worlds Finals and I convinced them to do it. I would promote the hell out of it to make sure people showed up and this was the result of those efforts! Entirely free, just wanted people to come and drink sales would make up the the revenue for the venue.

[@SaraGon15]

@@DavidSzajnuk amazing man amazing if i were in NYC absolutly would be there, your effort was not in vain, aside of the fun and all of that is good to have a base for this kind of entertaining since the e-sports are not yet so popular in the west and really few people take the chances or effort to do something like this, a massive W for you and the people of the venue.
