Mihai Bîrsan
Mihai Bîrsan
L2, Romania
Mihai is a L2 from Iași, Romania. He started playing in 2008, just in time for the Morningtide prerelease. Together with his friends, they started the Iași community that same year, and held their first prerelease there, Shards of Alara. Mihai joined the judge program very late, and currently has 3 GPs under his belt. His aspiration is to help the L2 program by getting involved in more GPs and helping solve complex problems using technology.
Mihai received 2 nominations on Wave 3, let’s have a look at them. Eskil Myrenberg[cets_callout_box style=’gray’ align=’full’ title=”]
“Mihai, thank you again for our time together at GP Copenhagen. You took on the task of On Demand Lead with a thoroughness and professionalism that showed nothing of your relative inexperience at the GP scene.
On the contrary, you had ideas for improvements and a plan laid out for how you wanted things done, which in itself is applaudable.
Not only that, though. The risk of having a plan is sticking to it too dearly. You solicited feedback and advice from those around you and walked off with even more data that you can use to help us make tournament operations run even smoother.
Thank you for bringing your solution-oriented enthusiasm to us, I hope to work with you again :)”[/cets_callout_box]
Teun Zijp had this to say about Mihai:
“Mihai, at GP London, we kinda forgot about your event. Well, I say ‘your event’, but until ten minutes before the start of the event, you didn’t even know you were going to Head Judge a 200-player Modern event. Fifteen minutes later, I came over with the result slips and what I found was you, calmly repeating the tasks with your team. You had everything under control in a situation that could have been very stressful. I found this very impressive. Thank you!”[/cets_callout_box]
Congratulations Mihai, this is quite a feat!
