We asked Mark Amparo on what he thinks of 2021?
Well 2021, super hopeful and optimistic na makabalik tayo sa live games. Sobrang daming live opportunities ang nawala specially sa tourney players. Lots of young rising stars sana na very exciting to watch, pero its sad because of pandemic short live ung momentum nila. If lets say di pa rin ubra live tourney, I hope magkaron tayo ng competitive and structured online tourney.
