There is plenty to talk about from this wild tournament that saw all three series go 3-games and ended with ERL winning their first MAW title. The guys talk strategy in a ‘Best of 3’ format, the competitiveness of the event, the glut of homeruns hit, which players came through big for their teams, and much, much more!
