about Sophia Williams
Former cynologist, current CS addict. I got into the game years ago and never really left — what kept me hooked wasn't the gameplay but everything around it: the teams, the people, the chaos behind the scenes at tournaments. I write about what I find interesting, and it's rarely just the scoreboard.
