Last year I was given the chance to become a Hareruya Hopes, as I aspired to start playing Magic more competitive again. After an amazing season, I look forward to represent Hareruya as a Pros in the upcoming season.

My goal for the upcoming season is to top 8 a PT again. I also want to do well at the World Magic Cup as Belgium’s captain.

Do what you want to do. Focus on important things in your life, but decide for yourself what’s important. If you want to reach a certain goal in Magic, give it everything you’ve got.
