Congratulations to the Wind for coming through when it counted; my guess is that this match will likely go down as one of the top 5 matches ever to be played in the Brooklyn Cup. The match goes to prove that Wind has now established themselves as a serious force to be dealt with in the B-Cup; I threw just about everything I had at them and still couldn't come away with the win. As Jeff so eloquently put it in his press clip: Gutting.

The most interesting side-effect of this, however, takes place across the pond as Ratz and Tigers will face each other for what I think is the first time ever outside of the finals. Ratz looked close to unstoppable in their QF match but Tigers quite clearly hasn't put their best foot forward yet. If there's any silver lining in the loss--besides the fact that I can now MOTS my last 2 league games as I make a run for a series crown--it would be that I get to watch these two teams duke it out at the Rat Hole next Tuesday in a one-and-done match.
