I was rooting for Gentry tbh. Cool to see YYF go 3/4 for 1A but not surprising. ---

Great to see Gentry back on the podium, last year wasn’t too great for him but this year was an awesome comeback. ---

Who I really wanted to see was Korean champion Oh Jiho but he didn’t attend. He’s a little more sloppy than most players but I think his tricks are the closest thing to challenging Hajime. If he had a clean routine it’d definitely be at least a threat to dethrone Hajime. _ik nobody cares about 3a im sorry i just need to pretend somebody cares ok it’s like @moby323 and his stupid AC2_ ---

I am stoked that Gentry won. He really is the reason I starting really learning to yoyo. The Shutter was my first real metal yoyo. The wide angle is one of my favorite throws. Absolutely the most versatile throw I own. So much so I just bought another the other day. Congratulations Gentry!
