too many cooks in my fucking NRI
Sometimes in MCSR ranked tournaments, you get these truly cinema moments where a runner looks up, realise their time is running out, take a deep breath, then make a decision they would never normally make as a final, desperate bid for glory. And it is mind-bendingly hype every single time.
Which is why I'm so happy it happened to Doogile during the final seed of the 9k NRI. See, Doogile's gameplay is defined by discipline. There is no weird high-risk high-reward tech to get a leg up, no fishing for a W variance play, it is finding the 'correct' decision and making it every. single. time. And this mentality of consistency really shows in his stats: absolutely insane average (sub-9 this season like wuh), still-great-but-not-in-the-highest-percentile pb. It's also what let him do incredible throughout this NRI.
But that's not what happened in the final seed. Hax was in the end so early. Doogile could bet on luck, and no one would blame him for it as RNG is just part of the game... or he could hit a O58 back 99 top set-up zero with four beds one anchor. For reference, he had to mine 5 endstones, hit a pearl clip, pearl thrice after that, get off an eat somehow (not to mention playing the seed well enough to even have food at this point), build the set-up, do enough damage, and then perform and survive a chase-down. All that, with tournament nerves.
Of course Doogile can hit these flashy zeroes. But that's not the point. The point is that normally he'd never be pressured enough to go for it. And yet, Hax had dominated the seed, and sometimes you just need to resolve to do what you need to do.
Kind of wish we got to see more seeds, but as a Doog fan I'm not complaining.

How I imagined 9k NRI would go...
