will never not surprise me that the pretty clear highlight of the world gauntlet contest was peru, of all nations. like i know a lot of people live there but a lot of people live in a lot of other places too. it's really not the first place you think of when you think of gd and like i don't think i've heard of any of these creators outside this level. will likely continue to grow on me as we get farther and farther away from this particular era of art levels which while this does it right is very oversaturated and contentious at time of writing (early 2025)
