Why was Tyler Severance not at worlds? One of my favorite players. I was bummed he wasn’t there.

^ I was looking for him too. I hope he’s gearing up for Japan 2015 though. He’s done a lot of contests lately, so he probably could use a break. I missed him too though. :wink:

Am I the only person who feels he could rival Takeshi in 5A?

I feel like Takuma Inoue and Jake Elliott are a lot closer.

^  
Tyler’s good, but takeshi is like a 5a prodigy…  
But in Tyler’s defense, he’s also really good at 1a 😛  
(Which again, takeshi is a prodigy xD)

Add Sora Ishikawa to that list (which in my opinion should have won)

Severance got 2nd at worlds last year. He’s a top tier 5A player.
