Today marks the mid-point of this giant first round, but it’s only going to get tougher from here. We had three upsets yesterday as Deadly D, PhilaNova, and Fantastic 4 all moved on. Other teams that advanced include Team Favorites, Rockets, NovaRox, Team Takeover, Run You Off The Court!, We’ve Got Hart!, and Stray Cats. Today we’ll have another ten teams advance, so let’s get right into it.
