* -Winner’s comment・Rain player-*
Up until now, I’ve only been runner-up, but I don’t think I’m inferior at all in terms of the content of the matches, and I’ve continued to play puyo puyo believing that I have the ability to win, so I’m really happy to have won for the first time.
This time, we had been practicing the most so far, and we were able to win all the matches with a large goal difference from the qualifying round, so I thought for a moment that we would be able to do quite well.
In particular, I think McKee is the strongest player in the world, so I think being able to beat him twice and win the championship gave me confidence.
