00:00 Yeah, I got a bit emotional at the end there.
00:01 I thought he was going to come back, but it just wasn't the beat.
00:04 That show was absolutely electric.
00:14 Go Alex! Yay!
00:16 It's so disappointing that Alex lost
00:29 after four hours sitting here in the freezing cold.
00:32 The last set wasn't great,
00:33 but everything up until then was really good,
00:35 and I'm still glad I came.
00:37 I love Alex.
00:37 Demon Oil was, you know, it was real.
00:40 We had 720 bucks on him in the syndicate,
00:42 and we thought he was home there in the fourth.
00:44 He just had to hold his mind together.
00:46 I think it was more a game he versus himself than Ruvlev.
00:51 It's a tough loss, you know,
00:52 like we obviously wanted him to bring out the demons.
00:55 Yeah, very sad.
00:56 Yeah, we thought he had it,
00:58 but he gave it his best shot.
01:00 It was a really amazing game, but he'll get him next time.
01:03 He's amazing.
01:04 He returns as much as he possibly can.
01:06 He's just a sensational player and a human, amazing human.
01:11 Pretty awesome to win there.
01:12 It was like, I don't know, like a final.
01:16 I've been to four matches this week,
01:18 and that was the best one without a doubt.
01:20 (upbeat music)
