Re: 301 points! and could have done more
We play to win every single match. Even if were bound to win, we don't hold back. Even if there's no way to beat the other team, we still play all out.
Why? There are so many reasons not to. Robots can get broken in hard play. Feelings can be hurt by hard defense. And sometimes, losing a match makes the tournament just a little bit easier to win due to the ranking system.
But we don't. Competing as hard as we possibly can shows our competitors that we respect them. Whether we are "supposed to" crush them, or be crushed by them, we still give it our all. If we didn't, we'd be saying that they weren't even worth trying to beat.
Perhaps you have a different idea of competition, or perhaps money is much more important to you than it is to us. I can't be in your shoes, and to be perfectly honest, I don't know your team or regional. But this is the passion we bring to the field, and we expect the same passion from everyone we compete with and against. Because if teams didn't bring it to the field, what would winning really mean?
