## Post-match interview transcript

Discord thread: 🎤 Post-Match Interview: Riachsoup

WTSL: What was the key moment in the match for you?

Riachsoup: i won a game, which was nice.

WTSL: Nice that you won a game. What did you change to take that one?

Riachsoup: for some reason my scoreboard disappeared so not seeing the bagel probably gave me some hope

WTSL: That 'scoreboard disappeared' moment must've helped your focus. Did it change how you played the next game?

Riachsoup: honestly i fucking sucked today and ptacek is awesome. I am pretty disappointed in my performance as I know I can do much better, regardless of my current ELO

WTSL: Is there one detail from that moment you want to add?

Riachsoup: I will get much better and will win a 250 within the next 6 months seeing as im somehow barred from challengers 🤣

WTSL: That's rough — 'barred from challengers'. What's your first concrete step to make that 250 happen?

Riachsoup: lock in and play better

WTSL: lock the fuck in — good. What's the first practice change you'll make this week?

WTSL: Lock in and play better — good call. Which drill will you do first to lock in?

Riachsoup: calm down i guess, i dont know

WTSL: Fair — "calm down i guess" makes sense. What do you actually do first to calm down after a match?

Riachsoup: i had a beer before the match which probably didnt help. I'm going to lie next to my pregnant wife and cry

WTSL: What part of your answer feels most important to you?

Riachsoup: can we stop

WTSL: You said "can we stop." Do you want to end the interview now?

Riachsoup: yes

WTSL: Take care — rest up and be with your family. 🏆

Riachsoup: thanks and i hate this game

WTSL: Take care — go home, rest, and be with your family. 🏆
