Decidedly, BMS will have had a beautiful first anniversary. Between Wawa’s victory at CEO 2022, and Raflow’s performance at Kings of Fields 2, the French structure will have sunny the weekend of the FGC. And yet, it was going much worse for the Super Smash Bros. player. Ultimate only for Dragon Ball FighterZ player. But Raflow never gave up, and managed a comeback worthy of the greatest. Throwback to this incredible tournament.
Entry into the area
At the gates of the top 8, Raflow is sent to the Loser Bracket by Maister, the world number 6. Far from being defeated, he continues by putting 3-0 to Emass, showing that the defeat has not affected his concentration. It is then up to Sisqui to suffer the wrath of the BMS player. Enter Leon, the Solary player, sent to the Loser Bracket by MkLeo. The value does not wait for the number of years said Corneille, and Raflow proves it by beating one of his elders. However, a new obstacle stands before him. Glutonny, also a loser against Maister, wants to take his revenge on the Mexican. But Raflow is ready.
Well, that’s what he said. Glutonny takes the first two games. Raflow is not unworthy, but the Solary player manages to adapt his game, and always finds the flaw. Then Raflow wins a match. Hope is reborn in the BMS camp. A second match is snatched by their young prodigy, and suddenly we no longer hear the Solary supporters on the streambecause of the let’s go Raflow shouted by those who encourage the rival team. The last leg is extremely tight. First stock for Raflow, but Gluto gives it back to him instantly. Player Solary’s second stock also ends up being taken, and the Palutena player even manages to scrape a few percentages. Only Gluttonny finally manages to get back to two stocks all over, and the audience begins to hold their breath. Yes Raflow has the percentage advantage, but Wario’s pet, the ultimate weapon of the best European player, is available and loaded. Everything can change in seconds. Without losing his cool, taking only calculated risks so as not to offer his opponent the decisive opening, Raflow brings down Gluto.
Sharingan activation
The Loser final can begin. Maister wants his revenge against MkLeo. But it’s already too late, Raflow downloaded it. He takes the first set, and despite a nice adaptation from Maister who takes the second, the BMS player is already in his head. The next two sets are indisputably his. Raflow brought down his executioner, and at the same time avenged Gluto. Like a symbol. Only the hardest remains to be done. On the Winner side, MkLeo awaits his opponent. And this time, there will be no miracle. The best player in the world puts 3-0 to the young French hope, without ever losing more than one stock per set. Today the last step was too high, but tomorrow will be another day.
But the party is not over. BMS announces that Raflow will wear their colors next year, 5 days before the player’s first anniversary within the structure. Then comes the cake, because today is Raflow’s birthday. And like the champion he is, it was he who gave us the greatest gift. The debate is open to know who is the French (and European) number 1, but we will not move forward on this subject. Or rather we’ll talk about it again after next week’s Colossel, the biggest European tournament ever organised.
