Best Week 2 regional

[lucas.alvarez96]

Hey people, just a quick question:
Which do you consider to be the best week 2 regional? I mean to say, which one has the best teams and is expected to be the one with the most exciting matches? I wanted to show of the competition and livestreams to some people, but I want to be sure to get best matches

The San Diego regional has 330, 1538, and 987 in attendance. Central Valley has 254, 973, 696, and 3512. Both will likely feature as much action as you can hope to expect from this season's regionals. If you can only watch one, I would suggest flipping a coin.

Arkansas will be a good one to watch.

Hard to beat them this week, but I don't think that any regional will come close to Waterloo in week 4.

1241 and 1285 (both are the same team, and 1241 were world champions last year), 1114, 2056 and 254 (all perennial powerhouses), 4069 (reigning Waterloo winners and 2012 all-stars) and the second tier teams to 1114 and 2056, 1334 and 3683.

I'd say something about 781, but that'd be kind of biased

I would also include 3476, Code Orange on the list in San Diego. They made it to Einstein last year. I would never flip a coin for this week considering, I am going to be watching three regionals Central Valley, San Diego, and Greater Toronto East.

I definitely agree that Waterloo is going to be the best regional to watch, but the hardest regional to win.

I watch (or try to) watch every regional because you never know who is coming to come out on top! Good luck to everyone in Week 2!

Surprisingly King Tec isn't at NL this year. They are across the hall at the Lake Superior regional though!

Really? Interesting. 2169 vs 359 for the Double DECCer finals perhaps? That was an awesome match last year.

Yes there are. 2052 was amazing last year and I'm expecting the same this year. 2169 is always amazing as well

Wish we were there this year

Thanks for the shout-out Kevin!

I actually think the Groton District will be the best event... no, the absolute top tier at Groton probably can't compete against that of San Diego, but Groton has an exceptionally strong upper-middle tier. After teams get warmed up on Day 1 (Saturday), expect the tournament to feel more like a DCMP on Sunday morning and afternoon than a week 2 event. Triple assists will probably be very reasonable for a lot of alliances, but will be challenged by a stronger alliance that can do truss-catches effectively.

So, I think the most interesting event to watch may actually be Groton...

I hear there's a pretty funny little pink robot at Hub City this year that's pretty cool...

Not self-promotion at all.
