This morning, I genuinely felt like I failed.

But the fact is... it only took me a few hours to process the news and get back on my feet. '

1000s of applicants submitted proposals to World Cup Esports as organizers for this.

Even getting into the top 10, having meetings with their leaders, and pitching how we would activate my streamer network and game news publishers, that was already a win.

Even suggested @EWC_EN change the slogan from Road to Riyadh to Battleground in Riyadh.

Less tourism. More gaming vibes.

InshaAllah next time I will win.

This time… it was a very close call.
