I'm glad the Tier2 hype has passed. The declines next week will be epic. It was always insane to think that Tier2 would do much of anything other than a quick and rapidly dissipating bump.
The X1's real battleground is, and always has been : US and UK. It's fully irrelevant elsewhere. And that's not really all that bad to be honest. Money can still be made by being vibrant and relevant in those two areas.
