“I’m happy because it was a very tough week, many battles with very good players. I’ve known Galan for a long time, we’ve played several matches, and hopefully, we can continue battling with him. I’m very happy with the victory; my team is also very excited, and hopefully, I can continue with this level,” said Tabilo.
“I dedicate this title to my entire team, my girlfriend who came to support me, all the friends in Chile, and my entire family.”
