[xx - Team GAP]

4 cards in a row now that my fighters have shit the bed. not happy. id like my fighters to fight like they are supposed to.

[xx - Team GAP]

also i think after seeing matchups for this gp i think it was better when seed 1 was vs seed 8 and 2nd seed vs 7 and so on and so on.

[The Rocketmen]

I kind of like the whole "drafting your competitor".
Texas almost lost to the number 3 team
And there were two arguable "upsets" for round 1.

Grand Prix is always so difficult to advance though
