Season 15 Wrap Up

Congratulations to Code of Misconduct for winning their final match versus 5 piece combo, and thus advancing to the Division 1 finals! A lot of awesome games were played this season, and now only the finals remain for Division 1 and Division 2. Stay tuned for the announcements of these matches, for they should be epic: Division 1 will feature a rematch of Code of Misconduct vs T-shirt goblins, and Division 2 of California Burrito vs Shoobs.
