Post-match breakdown

What we did well
  • Fast start

    Vander took the lead-off 4-2 and set the tone right out of the gate.

  • Stingy on the felt

    2 mini-sweeps (Patrick and Vander) — opponents never reached the hill.

What to clean up
  • Couldn't shut the door

    Anchor went down 2-3 with the team match within reach. That's the one to win.

  • Lost the lead

    Was up by 2 at the high-water mark. Bleeding a lead in the back half is fixable — usually pace or shot selection.

  • Conceded a sweep

    Felipe and Reinaldo got blanked — those are the matches that flip a tight night. Bench depth / pre-match feel matters.

  • 2 hill-hill losses

    Reinaldo and Paper both dropped hill-hill matches. Closing-out drills pay back fast.

Key moments

  1. R1Lead-off goes our way — Vander wins 4-2.
  2. R4Round 4 flips the lead — Cue Karma in front 2-2.
  3. R5Anchor goes the other way (2-3). Final 2-3 on individual matches.

Next up9-11 loss, but fast start is something to build on. Fix one thing, not five.
