HOT looks closer to their goals at this point, but it would be foolish to count out the team from Sterling Heights. 469's quick loading pyramid scoring machine could be the perfect compliment to either of them, and is favorite heading into the event. 68, 245, 2851, and 3539 will also be very dangerous, and it wouldn't be surprising at all to see an alliance with one of them knock out some of the bigger names. [*]With two districts already under their belts, it will be interesting to see if 2851 and 68 are more willing to take risks in order to win Troy. The Thunder Chickens, AdamBots, and Las Guerillas (while safe bets to reach MSC) need to accumulate points where they can in order to guarantee themselves a spot in St. Louis. [/list]

You are correct, one of our main goals at Troy is to make some waves. I would watch out for the high score of the season if by chance 67, 469, and 3539 get on the same alliance...very plausible in quals.
