I was very knowledged in rules and I was already judging most local tournaments, when judges started lacking I stepped up to help the community.<\/li>\n<li><strong>What excites you most about this event?:<\/strong> Well it is the first GP I&#8217;m going to judge ibstead of playing. I judged some side events for gp santiago last year as a voluunteer to help with my road to L2 since there are no L3s in Per\u00fa. But this is the biggest event I&#8217;ll judge since I became L2.

I hope I can get other chances to travel to other countries to judge.<\/li>\n<li><strong>What is the best part about your local Magic community?:<\/strong> People is pretty funny, lately they are really competitive, when I started playing magic not many people travelled to play, things have changed now.<\/li>\n<li><strong>What is your favorite Magic memory?:<\/strong> I&#8217;d say the first time I travelled to a GP it was in the US and it was pretty cool, I went as a player and did well.
