Without NotE I don’t know how well this will go. I’m going to say this will be Atlanta even though I want it to be Boston.

No more Dafran=No more Torb Time
(In all seriousness though…sad to hear considering the reason).

I really wonder if the casters are forced to say ‘new meta’.

14

Did the Shock get anyone for BabyBay? I didn’t hear anything.

15

they certainly did it 2 times alredy and it looked forced … amybe they were briefed to underline ‘new meta’

16

What sign are you holding Wyoming?

17

Probably just $$$. They had too many players and needed to drop some.
