Wow. I’m not gonna lie, I threw some fine-tunes into Gomi in the hopes of putting up decent fights in this tournament. I, in NO WAY, expected him to win, or even make it to the semi-finals. It’s like walking by a slot machine, throwing a couple quarters in it, and winning the jackpot. I am as shocked as anyone right now…Just plain wow.
