The match before it, we won by 3 points, so the combined winning margin was 2 tetras. |
In my opinion (also biased) that entire semifinal series in 2005 was awesome. How awesome it was with 330, 67, 503 versus 245, 217, and 766? Also that 330, 245 and 766 competed against each other in Sacramento and 67,217, 245 and 503 competing in michigan. I would say both alliances knew each other very well. Finally, I loved it was a huge slug fest between 67 and 217, they just kept on capping.
Do this day I am haunted by the second and last match, we should have tried to make a dive into your back row the break two of your rows.
I remember standing next Einstein after losing, frustrated; I stared at the crown and realized how lucky I was and how surreal it was. I swear it felt like a dream. I didn't even watch the finals, I was too shellshocked that I had made it to Einstein.
I joke that 2005 SF2-3 cursed me that day, I had to become a mentor because I have to return to Einstein. I have been chasing it ever since (well sort of, I put it on hold for college)
