If the Bomb Squad and Team Titanium find themselves on the same alliance during the eliminations, it is probably game over for the rest of the field. If they're held apart, the door opens for 2468 Team Appreciate.

I won't be able to make it out to Hub City but I expecting a very exciting finals. 3310 and 1296 have both been improving rapidly in Texas. Depending on how the alliances break down we should see at least a few very close matches. With so many young teams scouting for 2nd picks is going to be crucial.

Anyone know the last time a Texas regional was played without a Texas team being a strong favorite going in?
