Re: pic: End of the Final Match on Einstein

I can't believe this happened. I can't believe we won. We were one of three teams out of 1800... And there were so many good teams out there!

Going into the finals, I was sure they were going to be a repeat of 2008, where a lucky alliance thrown together from a non-stacked division just got pummeled by the true, deserving championship alliance. 1114 hadn't a single (real) loss, and 469 had already proven they could beat us at MSC. DID YOU SEE how effectively 2041 shut down 254 in the semis? They were the perfect partner for this perfect alliance. There was just no way...

Then I saw what our alliance partners were capable of. 294 played amazing defense against all three opposing machines, and 177's midfield game was as good as ours.

All that work, all that time, all that missed/rushed homework on the part of every member of our team, and this is the final result. I can't believe it; I can't think straight anymore.

It's been a great four years on the HOT Team.

And I will watch each of those matches at least 20 times. Guaranteed.
