Vipers will win guaranteed hm? I assumed the spruce kings would sweep the vipers. As much as I want to see the vipers win, PG is clearly the more deserving team, putting in the effort and doing all the right things. They're an absolutely solid team. Unfortunately certain aspects of our team are not quite up to par with PG. Better luck next year Vernon.
