The Guilty Gear -Strive- tournament at the East Coast Throwdown 2023 gathered almost two hundred players. We witnessed lots of intense matches, and nobody was dominant during the last three days. Claire "UMISHO" Harrison lost the semifinal in the upper bracket and had to climb through the lower one. Ultimately, this mission was accomplished: the EVO 2022 champion first reset the grand final against Matthew "TempestNYC" Tulloch and then conquered it.
