We calculated an average of 5.5 low goals

Curie teams, be wary. I knew these guys were our top low goal bot after 25 on Friday night, and I thought we might have a shot at playing with them because people would overvalue shooting and scaling (and I was right). Somebody is going to snatch them up if you don't, and if they play defense again, you'll be on the receiving end. Top-notch play, watch the MAR Champs playoffs.
