Early Challenge
Quentin realized he wasn't as good at playing as his peers. But his strength was in the analytics. He focused on understanding the metagame.
Worst Magic Moment
In a feature match on the Pro Tour, Quentin was playing to make top 8. A judge came over mid-game and said there was a mistake with his deck registration and he got a loss.
He reviewed the whole situation and realized he wouldn't have done anything differently. After he knew that, he stopped beating himself up about it.
