Posted by mazas: luck cool head and strongs bluff let him take the win to home
good luck all
i listened to the interview of the second (a german guy who mainly plays Heads-up because FullRing is to less action for him) who said that Mahmood wasn`t that good. But too many players underestimated him because of his looks. And at the end he hat both, talent and luck to take the event. nice job of course
the german was pretty much disappointed cause this bracelets meant a lot to him. And as he said "no one remembers the second" so he was pretty much sad about passing second as it is not good for new sposnors etc.
