- They were a 2nd round pick by 1717 on Galileo in 2009
- They made it all the way to the finals on Galileo, losing to the eventual World Champs (111,67, 971)
- They were the only rookie at IRI in 2009 to be an alliance captain.
It's close, but I think that 2775's performance in year 2 gives them the edge... |
Using the same logic, 2753 was the 2nd overall pick at IRI that year. Wildstang 111 was chosen first by team 980, the #2 alliance (832) picked 2753 as their first pick. Albeit I have a bit of a bias.
