So don't Duel as a Pro, so to speak.

Treat this as something you're doing for fun. For good reasons. Rather than focusing on the stress and strain. I realize that's a bit hard to do. But that should be your aim.

This might be a high level event but.

There's no stupid strings attached near as I can see. No shitty awful conspiracies. From what I'm following it's just mostly a lot of old nearly retired types such as yourself along with some long runners.

If you're concerned your emotions will run out of control and your temper will get the best of you?

Then I'd be willing to counsel you in general. And I can recommend meditation.

But I think this is an opportunity you shouldn't drop. At the very least, you get a chance to Duel friends and family in a setting that while broadcast, is likely to be on less stressful terms than.

Man, the WRGP was a piece of shit.

How many conspiracies were circling around that mess?

If you're concerned it would be Dueling for yourself, then make it mentally about others. Make this tournament about Psychic Duelist and the Forest. How it can help them.

Unless I'm missing something.

Though, I'd of thought you would of wanted a chance to get a crack at Judai and Akae.
