Well, it's a couple of days after the tournament, but I want to blog about our year as STK so I will write this up now.
This was our first tournament with our new roster -- we dropped Allan, and Zach left to play with Killswitch -- allowing us to pick up Griffin and Diesel (and Benji for 7man). Griffin and Diesel are great additions and pretty much give us the strongest lineup we've had.
This was the first TK event ever. The day went exceptionally smooth -- the reffing was great, the competition was great, and it costed us next to nothing to play.
The new roster lived up to my expectations. It allowed us to play more aggressively, like we all wanted. We were able to push Griffin really hard, he took it all like a trooper and excelled, mowing from the snake. Meanwhile, Diesel handled business on the dorito side in the smart, sneaky way he's known for.
Toughest game was against Menace Kids. They shut down snake side, eliminating Griff and I pretty early on, while pushing it really hard with Adam. Just Mason, Stiffla and Diesel were left, and I felt like they had a little extra experience on the remaining Menace Kids -- they were able to spread the field with the bodies we had left, and make moves at the right time. Especially Mason, he had a great game.
Following our win against Menace Kids, it was just a matter of staying focused for the rest of the games. We went on to win every game of the day and win the tournament.
1st: STK 938pts
2nd: Menace Kids 790pts
3rd: Wasp 632pts
4th: First & Only 632pts
Now this sunday coming, we have the Super 5's, where we have to do it all again.
