Me yesterday: "Oh cool, I think I've secured a top 5000 position on global and the 1st position on Local"

A few hours later: "Someone just got 10 wins ahead of me on Local, weird... but that's okay, after all it's the medals I want."

A few hours later: "The tournament is almost over and two guys are competing for the 3rd position, and they're extremely close to me! How did that happen?"

I ended up buying 5 stones from the shop in order to play until at least one of them got tired, no way I was letting them ruin my 5-day hard grinding. And in the end, I did it, one of them got tired and I got the 3rd position on Local (and around 2700 on Global). I only had to play for SIX HOURS STRAIGHT INSTEAD OF SLEEPING. Basically until one hour before the tournament was over, and I don't live in the States, the tournament ended at 8.00 AM where I live. Yet another reason to never do this again, I'm SO exhausted. And I can't even imagine what was going on in the top 2500 ranks.
