449 had a great time at the Pittsburgh regional and we hope to return in future years! Although we started out slow, (not moving our first two matches) we feel that towards the end we were really able to show Panda at its max.
Congratulations to 1503, 128, and 620 for winning the event. However 2603, 1629, and 3260 put up quite the fight. If not for GaCo tripping over that frisbee and falling over, that last match easily could have gone either way. Those were some of the most intense elimination matches I have ever seen.
Special thanks to 4049 for letting us join the #5 seed alliance. We thought we were not even going to be picked going into the alliance selections, let alone first round. We created a huge pandamonium when we found out that we were given a chance at the elimination rounds. 449 would also like to thank 3567 for rounding out this alliance and playing some beast defense. Its a shame that we were an inch away from advancing into the semifinals. Props to the #4 alliance for beating us in match 2 and 3.
4027, we apologize for knocking your camera clean off. Maybe you should not have played defense so close.
