Ethan appears to struggle yet again; he repeatedly loses to newcomers just as in previous rounds. His earlier defiant remark now seems ironic, drawing both playful banter and concern.
i have been following ethan’s journey and it seemz that his repeated struggles may be more about not adapting his style than a lack in skill. his refusals to adjust to new strategies are apparent in his recent rounds. his persistence in using old tactics might be undermining his potential, despite his earlier successes. maybe a reflective break and experimenting with new approaches would be benificial before he makes any drastic decisions, as every player evolve over time through learning from their mistakes.
