Surprised by some of the results. I thought Shion Arayas would make it. Hunter had a few mistakes thought hed be closer to the edge of 20th than 10th. Couple more that stand out but it might just be my bad judging skills. I can’t wait to see finals tonight. If that was Mir Kims semi final whats his final?? I already watched his over 5 times atleast hah. Just watched Hunter’s again it’s better than I thought the first time. ---

Oh “Immigrant Song” made it 100000x better agreed, love when competitors use a classic or a big time song like that, adds so much more hype to the performance ---

Yes, we need more classic rock in the competition scene. Evan’s Nats 2018 showed what you can really do with it. ---

This is insane. As a yoyo newbie I’m curious if some of you experienced folks can isolate what the hardest trick of the routine is? That beef hook type trick where he whips the string around the yoyo several times and catches it is wild.
