===Ascension to the top=== | |||
After cementing himself as a top 20 player in 2022, Miya only continued to improve in 2023. For the start of the season, at {{Trn|JAPAN 24}}, Miya saw the debut of a new secondary Steve to mixed success, as it resulted him losing a set against {{Sm|Futari no Kiwami Ah~!}}, however, it did see a strong performance against KEN, forcing him off his Sonic and instead to switch to Sephiroth. Ultimately, Miya placed 2nd at his first major of the year, losing to Acola. The start of 2023 itself was rough, as he placed 13th at the recently rejuvenated Umebura series, loisng to {{Sm|Atelier}} and {{Sm|DIO}}, though for the time these two losses weren't so bad. Miya continued the rest of January with decent performances at Superregionals, however saw him with losses to even more players outside the top 20. The real nail in the coffin for Miya was his performance at {{Trn|Kagaribi 9}}, Losing to {{Sm|Jagaimo}} and Sriks for 49th, while also giving him a loss to someone unranked. | |||
