The Match Up
Both teams had hard losses early on day one, and both are looking to leave the tournament with a win. The Aftershocks are coming into the tournament as the 9 seed, and want to establish that they belong there. Twin City got into the tournament based on declinations and want to prove that they have learned from all of the impossibly hard bouts they’ve played this year, and they can be a top 10 team.
Both teams need to keep their walls tightened down to be successful. The Aftershocks try and run a fast game, and against an agile jammer (like Steve Sweat), they’ll be at a disadvantage. The Terrors tend to get split into two and two, and against a strong jammer (like B Stang), they just won’t be able to stop his momentum.
Game starts at 1p CST on WFTDA.tv
