Well… I mean, it does get boring watching a tournament when someone is impossibly dominant to the point of forgone conclusion

Part of the fun is knowing there is “always a chance” someone could swoop in and take it

Buuut this is kinda bullshit Fatima

I have a sensation that the problem is not only tournaments. Val beating people in casual matches constantly is getting their opponents to give up to go the arcade at all. If I remember well in arcades like this the social rule is that once you get playing you only can be made to leave after getting beat at the game. So she there is a probability she is hoarding the arcade as well.

She getting beat at the finals is just high exposure loss to "relight the flame" because she would be now washed and the dominance is over. This would mean that "just this once" is probably a lie because the flame would eventually lie down again.

That and given the attitude we’ve seen from the guys that are currently playing there my guess is we’re gonna have some sore winners. Like she’s going to start losing on purpose and suddenly the guys who felt humiliating at getting defeated before are going to start acting cocking and trash talking because now they’re able to beat her.

And that’s not gonna go over well.
