I want to send a special thanks to our alliance partners. Thanks to 6086 for stepping in when we needed them most, and providing a performance that made a win possible. 1718 was, somehow, a sleeper that we were more than excited to pick up so late in the draft. 67, it's pretty wild to think that we've somehow never played in the elims together, maybe we should try it more often?

Thanks to all volunteers as well. Without you such great events simply aren't possible.

Thanks for picking us! We were somewhat surprised we fell so far in the draft, but ecstatic with the alliance that picked us up. To be on an alliance with 2 legends was phenomenal! It was especially sweet to win our 1st State Championship with the team I got started with (RUSH). While it was painful to sit out the last 2 matches without being able to help control our fate, it was great to be able to pull up a team as good as 6086 to take over - you guys played tremendous defense!

I also want to thank all the volunteers - while no one was thrilled about how late everything ran, they had to stay even later to pack everything up. Thanks for all your hard work and dedication to putting on a great event.
