Having so many important events at the same time reminds me and confirms that we are always heading towards the right path to take and I am proud of everyone and the work they do. I’m sure both our Brawl Stars prodigies and Flokox will have some regrets because I know how much they demand of themselves, they will recover and be ready to do even better. Also fantastic are Santill1 and Peppe who knew how to hold on until the end, and together with them the Rocket League team, national champions of a title that fully represents our Italian essence. A huge thank you also goes to all the staff who were able to juggle on several fronts in such a busy weekend, to Reply, Isostad and Asus ROG who made a phenomenal MGW possible, and above all to our fans who allow us to continue with their warm support.
