My favorite part of the last ~150 posts has been several people saying Malcolm played a perfect game and got screwed again. This is proof of why Malcolm is so good: even when he makes mistakes, people will overlook them simply because he's handsome and charismatic.
I like Malcolm a lot, but the idea that he played a flawless game and got screwed by Erik/Brenda is absurd. Do you really think the game's truly elite players (Cesternino, Kim, Parv, etc.) wouldn't have done a better job controlling the floaters? Do you really think Russell/Boston Rob would have ever let someone like Erik out of their sight 10 minutes before TC?
Malcolm misread the situation and/or Erik/Brenda, and it's not the first time he's made this same mistake in a crucial spot. I hate to say it, but he's quickly trending into "overrated" territory for me. Don't get me wrong; he's still a damn good player, but he's likely in the JT tier for me. He's a super charismatic dude who is prone to mistakes that true GOAT-level players simply do not make.

I'm not sure this could possibly be any more correct. Well said. Dawn can't make FTC, lose, and get a "loser's edit." She's going to get the same exact edit whether she finishes 1st, 2nd, 3rd (likely impossible), or 4th.
