I really do think that most elimination matches will come down to the wire and end with last second dumps/shots/throws that will decide the match.

Another thing I noticed was that a single team can't really carry an alliance to a win anymore. Sure some help more than others, but it almost seems that alliances are only as strong as their weakest link. Watching a non-functioning robot's trailer just get destroyed by the payload specialists was particularly painful, and there really isn't much a "powerhouse" can do to compensate for that disabled bot anymore.

IMO anyway
Lol yes all things I referred to in previous posts. Again, im not referring to elim matches yet. Just nvm.


Btw I <3 qualification match 13. Best alliance ever.
