Even though Anal won the 4 star Berkeley tournament in September last year, he had never won any ICC tournament before. Except for the momentary hiccup against Earl James Alto (he had to come back from 1-2 down) in the round of 16, Anal had a fantastic tournament. The 4-0 rout in the finals was quite unprecedented and impressive.
