Within moments of his defeat, Milis was explaining why one of the leading names in Belgian Magic, Mark Dictus, had failed to make the trip to Milan. In recent years, Dictus has been a fixture on the European GP circuit, making the top 8 at GP Brighton in 2009, and always at the forefront of the Belgian community. Apparently it takes surgery to make Dictus miss a European GP, and it was typical of the way Milis, and the other Belgians, play the game that his first thought after the match was to pass on messages of goodwill towards Dictus.
