Quoted from CrazyLevi:That 1.3 million "win" on Xmen was likely a gift from Dad in the early rounds but I don't see any problem with that!
Could be, but Jason Werdrick had a full game at only 690k in the playoffs and I believe Jason even owns an XM. Sometimes those things just happen. Did Escher get lucky on Jungle Queen, sure. Luck plays a bigger factor on EMs where you can get housed on multiple balls at no fault of your own just by plunging. I don't think it takes away at all from what Escher did. He had to play a lot of games against a lot of great players to even be in that position and he has proven he is a great player time and time again in prior events. Besides, you have to have at least a little luck at some point to win an event like this.
