So I've been trying to figure out why IAM is still online, ha. The only explanations (assuming this isn't just a temporary reprieve) I can come up with is either something random like a component being loose and then getting restored during all the testing, or that the latest batch of OS patches lead to the instability. Who knows. I'm glad it's up though, because I have a tattoo appointment this afternoon that I didn't want to cancel!
When Devon got there, all of his luggage was lost and there was a mixup on his hotel. To make matters worse, it's Ramadan, so during the day he can't get water or food — both very imortant — or even a phone card to call home… So he's without his stuff and without proper nutrition or hydration before a major match — and they had them out in the desert riding camels doing promotional shots for the tournament, so he got even more wiped out… And Taras has gotten so much bigger that the tournament organizers felt they'd radically mismatched my brother, so they moved him from the main event to the half-time show.
To the organizer's surprise, Devon managed to win the first two matches against Taras (he has superhuman willpower and determination — he's also Canada's youngest military ironman winner), but was wiped out after that and lost the other four. But he did well enough under very strained conditions that I think he's solidified his place in the European pro tournaments, so there will be more of these supermatches for him!
