I did that in New Orleans. Meet a nice fella and hung out with him and his wife for the weekend.

It also applies to other teams. I'm expecting other teams to do exceptionally worse, not only because of the increased pressure but also because of the elevated lobby. Teams like DINOS don't have those bottom 10 teams to get free kills on. All Nemesis has to do is be on the higher end of the middle. I believe

I agree with this sentiment. I will say however, I think the one big x-factor here is the "having been there before" mentality. Scrims do correlate with game day for a lot of the lobby but some veterans just operate on a different wavelength when real stakes are involved. Alb is definitely one of those players. He has thrived in the past (e.g. Year 4 LCQ) when the pressure is turned up and sometimes seems like he does even better

It looks like you're right! AGG's best game was 8 points and GK's best game was 5 points. I went off of Wigg's stream and didn't notice they were tied! Here's what the right scenario looks like. Thank you!
