Good Luck, and we'll see you at the competition.

Well, with that attitude, you don't stand much chance of competing seriously. If you don't learn to work with your alliance partners, you're not winning any tough matches---this is a game of teamwork, cooperation, and strategy---cocky teams who think that they can do everything themselves while their partners sit in the endzone and wait for the 10 point bonus at the match's end are going to have another thing coming to them...
