Perhaps you are reading this when the coronavirus is just a past memory (hello future player) but... it was a bad year.
Quals always happen online, but we postponed to give everyone more time to adjust and prepare. We were also remotely connected, of course, and this was one of our ways to get close to each other and to players.
As one of us put it: "I'm going to miss having you guys on my TV" :)
Note that both "OOO{" and "}" have a segment in the video.
