The way you guys fed 217 in the quarters was awesome, considering the #8 alliance did such a good job of keeping balls away from them. When you started getting 3 or 4 hurdles a match, I was in shock. I kept asking people "How on earth were they available as the last pick of the draft?!?" I'm not sure whether this speaks more about the importance of good scouting, or the depth of the field at GLR. Either way, you guys were great.
