I spent a long time looking for something interesting, novel, compelling or controversial and didn't really find anything. What I DID find was a very solid, thoughtful and well written piece by Adam Styborski. It's not flashy. It's probably not very good clickbait. To be honest, a lot of you are probably going to roll your eyes but a lot of you will read it.
Adam wrote about the Milestones some Pro players hit recently. As much as we focus on finance here at Quiet Speculation, occasionally we have to recognize the achievements of players who are doing truly amazing things. The last PT saw quite a few significant achievements.
- Andrew Cuneo, Jamie Parke, and the 1st-ranked Owen Turtenwald all found their 200th win in a Pro Tour Match.
- No. 8 and Pro Tour Hall of Fame player William Jensen notched his 300th on the Pro Tour, and likewise Hall of Fame player Brian Kibler earned a stunning 400th win.
Not bad at all.
Maybe Stybs' article isn't flashy, but it's really worth a read and I think you'll be as impressed with how thoughtfully crafted it was as well as how significant some of the accomplishments of our favorite pros are.
Let's get a discussion going. What was the most significant milestone of the last Pro Tour? Who are you rooting for to achieve something soon? Are the decks being played in high profile matches more exciting to you than the players piloting them? Sound off below.
