📢 A Quick Note – Why This Post Was Delayed

The tournament concluded on Sunday, but I was traveling for a new job opportunity in Latvia, Riga the same day of the final. ✈️ Because of my flight, I wasn’t able to write this post immediately – but I made sure the winner got their prize a day before since their victory was already confirmed! I appreciate your patience, and I’m glad we can now officially wrap up this incredible contest.
