You might think it's sad or funny, but I think it's still an admirable effort that they got closer than any match all weekend at their regional. Not every team can be 254. Not every competition is Waterloo. Not every match is between world champions, with an undefeated regional streak or a 34th blue banner on the line.

Achievement is relative. It's awesome that your team can compete on such a high level and I admire that, but belittling another regional, another set of teams, another set of stories and achievements is so far beneath you, or at least it should be.
