Someone mentioned intentionally considering this in the "(Seemingly) Irrational alliance selection decisions" thread, but now it will be happening with every pick at every regional. I can't wait to see how this plays out.

Yeah the wild card rule does make alliance selections a bit more exciting as to what strategies a team is gonna try out to get their team to champs. I'm excited as well.
