I sat down and watched the playoffs this afternoon on the webcast. There were absolutely two classes of alliances there (Alliance 1 and then everyone else), but both were absolutely thrilling to watch from start to finish.
Obviously, congratulations to 16, 118, and 3490. Class of the field, bar none.
Personal congrats to the Blue Devil Mechanics on making their first playoff appearance since Palmetto 2012 (when they were known as Los Pollos Locos, building at USC, and had some yutz with sideburns working with them). They should've been playing Saturday afternoon in Myrtle Beach this year, so seeing them go in the first round (and only get knocked out by, y'know,
a new world high score) was a treat.
I can't believe Gary Dillard managed to go this long without winning a WFFA across SPAM, HAZE, and now Mad Rockers, but thank you to the latter for finally rectifying that. Over a decade overdue.
Also, congrats to Tina and Mark on their engagement. As they say around here...
