Definitely agreed. This year they actually skipped that dinner entirely, and held an afterparty in the outdoor vendor area of the KWC venue. A much better option!! I don't think anyone missed the stale french fries or politician's speeches.
Also, they’ve probably realized that future winners (like the case with Bryson in 2016, and all the podium this year) will be underaged, and we perhaps made enough ruckus to get ourselves kicked out of the venue.. Plus, it’s one less place to clean up after, so maybe that’s why. Why on earth would anyone serve frenched fries in an afterparty though? Seriously.. For that kinda setting, bar food or tapas will be a way better option. Man, i kinda lost it when they said they wanna organize KWC outside of Japan.
I’d probably have to say in no particular order Ben herald Sam cannon Bonz Stodd To me these 4 are the most entertaining players to watch
It's hard to pick even a handful. Haley Bishoff - for constantly giving back to the community, organizing events, and working to elevate women in the community. So dope. Waiting not-very-patiently on that Bishoff mod. Jake Wiens - was the first pro I really knew about/found on instagram and stuff. Cool to see someone so passionate about playing kendama and continually progressing. I'm constantly stoked to watch Bonz, Kenyata Williams, Stodd, Flowgrove, idk so many others. Love when people bring unique style into their play.
