For self-criticism and things to improve, I made a couple mistakes that maybe would have mattered. But generally speaking, I started with a bad deck switch for the RB tournament and when things didn't go my way there I got quite upset.
So I went to the VML top16 match, an overwhelmingly favorable one. I had 3 great hands, my opponent had the only combination of cards that gave them a chance twice, and I never drew anything useful from the top in any of the two.

And there, I was murdered mentally.
So I got into the MCQ with yet another deck change I shouldn't have done, never faced anything that resembled what the list was tuned against, but I wasn't even in it from match 1.
Like the VML and the RB Q, every single match I lost was a long and hard fought one when I never got anything right from the top and my opponents got everything, over and over again.

So in retrospect, what could have I done better?
For starters I could be stronger mentally, which would have helped. Secondly, those last minute deck changes were not good and I paid the price, because there are all the mistakes I made that I'm not even realizing I made.

Technical mistakes, SBing mistakes, mistakes in approach
I really don't know which mistakes those were except a clear one, but if I had sticked to my guns and played what I had prepared, it would have been less likely that I made them and I'd approached all these matches with a lot more confidence in myself.
So bad choices and bad luck that lead to more bad choices, a mental collapse and surely more bad choices.

A really bad day. Though lessons have been learned and I will try so to not repeat all these little and not so little things that sabotaged my effort today.
Anyway, probably no one cares about any of this.
