Post-match breakdown

What we did well
  • Bonus-point hunting

    Vander ran the rack from the break. Free points off the rack.

  • Won the heart-rate test

    Felipe closed out a hill-hill 2-1. Mental game showed up.

What to clean up
  • Slow out of the gate

    Dropped the lead-off 2-5 — playing from behind all night is harder than it needs to be.

  • Conceded a sweep

    Paper, Ernie, and Pedro got blanked — those are the matches that flip a tight night. Bench depth / pre-match feel matters.

  • Lost the heart-rate test

    Pedro dropped a hill-hill 2-3. One ball away — sharpen the close.

  • Got caught looking down

    Pedro (SL5) dropped to a SL4. Handicap was on our side — that's a win we leave on the table.

Key moments

  1. R1Lead-off goes to Milkias Tadesse 2-5. Ernie swims upstream from here.
  2. R2Round 2 flips the lead — Cue Karma in front 1-1.
  3. R5Anchor goes the other way (2-3). Final 2-3 on individual matches.

Next up8-12 loss, but bonus-point hunting is something to build on. Fix one thing, not five.
