I'm posting this because it wasn't, and because it feels like Mark has taken a lot of crap on line due to the fact that his opponents were good and his victories were hard fought. There are beefs about the refs and there are beefs about "stalling". This is both uninformed and weak. The fact is Mark figured out how to win before he showed up, before the refs made there calls and before his opponents put in less sophisticated performances. Mark had the cooler head and the bigger heart and he won. It's feels pretty good that the informed folks at Intermat agree. The next three years are going to be a domination.
