Breaking the first giant

The moment the world championship bracket was revealed, the North American chat exploded first. Not because Nathan Cole had a good seed, but because everyone knew the real nightmare had just begun. Winning through the open bracket only proved he had found his hands again. The main event would be different. It would be the place where the strongest players in the world, the ones who had already solved the version, finally waited to take him apart. The media shoved his name into the "death half" and attached the same sentence to every post: the run is over now. "He is not surviving round one." "An Orc will rip him open." "Human like this does not live in a world championship."
