The Invitation for MCIII

On the night of the 30th of May, while I was having a hard time falling asleep, my phone lit up to let me know I had an email. I usually don’t check my phone when I’m in bed, as I believe it’s a pretty bad habit. But I wasn’t sleeping, and just a quick glimpse wouldn’t hurt, right?

“Mythic Championship” was in the title, so I believed it was another email confirming I was qualified for Barcelona and giving me all kind of useful (and less useful) information. My eyes were slowly getting used to the light and I could read the title more carefully: Mythic Championship III.

It took me a couple of seconds to realize that the email wasn’t about Barcelona, but about the Mythic Championship I tried to qualify for a couple of weeks prior, that would take place in Las Vegas on the 21st of June.

– “Do you accept the invite?” the email said.

I laid in bed for about 30 more minutes in disbelief. I was going to play the first Arena MC. At that point, it was impossible to go back to sleep, so I got up, sat at my computer and proceeded to book my ticket.
