The advancement results for semi 1 are revealed, 5 players of each semi are advancing into the final, I've been voted in 6th place which means that I'm gonna be a primary sub. This leaves a tiny possibility open for me in case one of the finalists wouldn't be able to make it to the final game but tbh I wouldn't be betting for this to happen.
Realistically I think the championship ends here for me and that's okay, I know it wasn't because I was bad, it was more like lots of players were crazy strong in my semi. To everyone on Worstgen I want to say that champs has been an awesome experience and I can only encourage you to try it out! My conclusion is very positive, don't worry about it being competitive, don't worry about being judged, people will watch you in spec chat, yes, but they are all nice and encouraging. There's nothing to fear, whoever is thinking about going next year don't let anything hold you back, I can absolutely recommend it.
I've learned a lot in champs, I've met cool people, had fun and went out on a high note as we did win our semi game. For Crying it seems to be different because of his current life situation but to me it had quite the opposite effect, I figured out that I still want to play mafia. One advice I have for Worstgen mafia is for town to learn how to work together stronger. What I've noticed is that other communities are trying harder to find each other as townies which leads to a better basis of catching scum. Here it feels more like every townie is more working on their own instead, it's not that easy to describe but here in games you don't feel as connected as a unity.
With this being said let's all be rooting for Michelle as the last Worstgen player standing who could make it into the finale grande!
