Congratulations to the opponents on their victory. You have assembled a surprisingly strong team with a solid competitive spirit.
And several players have noticeably improved throughout the tournament. That's how victories are won.
We also had a strong team.
Perhaps the fact that we suffered more losses had an impact; we had to fight hard in the semi-finals, relying on our morale and willpower, and in the end, we just ran out of steam.
Special thanks to Vik (and those involved in the organization) for this epic tournament. Managing problematic situations in a team marathon is a special challenge. He handled it.
I think the final was a success. Both teams fought with all their might. Achieving a 9:9 tie in regular time is quite an accomplishment. :smile13:
