I most definately agree. Best finals of the week?

What's gonna be the key to winning in your opinion? Auton?

[Cynette]

Did the alliance with 71 make it to the finals? If so then there are three rookie teams in the finals. Is that a record?

Yep. Three rookies and three veterans. Let's see how this plays out. (2 rookies (1756 + 1810) + 111 vs 1 rookie (1775) + 71 and 141)

Its all about defense..

Effectively removing 71 would do it for 111 + the rookie, but they aren't being consistent..

141 on the other hand..

After watching that amazingly played 1st finals match....I have to agree. Although I do think that winning autonomous gave the blue alliance a major advantage, kudos to them for playing awesome defence against red during user mode.

Yeah, they pretty much stopped 71 until the last 10 seconds. They gave 71 an open window to score and the Beast pummeled the goal. Just like that, match is over.

That last free-for-all period was crazy @_@. The beast pinned against the red ramp for 30 seconds...going crazy just like a caged beast should and then pushed up onto the red ramp and kept there for the rest of the match. AMAZING!!!

[DanDon]

The BEAST has been COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN!!!! That match was pure amazingness!!!


[EDIT] Red - 56 Blue - 41[/EIDT]

I hope that Team 71 learned an important lesson today...never underestimate the defense. Congrats to the #1 alliance and for shutting down the beast and schooling them in a little thing we here in the northeast like to call DE-FENSE!!! The #1 alliance played some great matches those last to rounds. Nice work awesome to watch guys!!
