    Of course she won; she had a literal second set of hands to help her. It’s the same reason that Goro is the best character in MK. I obviously never win when I play as Goro, but that’s because everyone else is cheaters.

      It looks like she was playing in these events all throughout her pregancy, including a win at 7 months.

      The husband was one of her victims in the tournament too, so everyone in the house should be wary of crossing her.

    So, she beat… 2 people?

    Still… Noyce.

      Kids are annoying and trying at times, but until you have your own kid it’s impossible to understand how rewarding they can be.

        That’s not true.

        I grew up in a huge family and did a ton of parenting without my consent. I know exactly what it’s like.

          Being forced to parent siblings and parenting your own child are very different things. Even if you don’t choose to have a child, they are your own flesh and blood and that makes a big difference.

            AFAIK it’s not so much “flesh and blood”, but more about accepting the responsibility of being a parent.

    Credit where credit’s due, but it seems like great pains have been taken to hide the fact that this was a tournament of 4 players.

    Looks like she also had a 1st place finish in this tournament, which had over triple the entrants (14), and she did it while 7 months pregnant—that’s much more impressive, imo.

      As someone who is sitting next to his newborn who he just brought home yesterday - the fact she did literally anything besides sleep is much more impressive

      Edit: grammar. I’m so tired

      Classic Dexerto, making a headline that gives a wildly inaccurate impression of reality.

      The headline made it seem like she won a tournament on the likes of EVO, not some small local tournament that could have just been among family members. Its cool she did this, but the author is REALLY trying hard to live up to their name (Virgina Glaze ).
