UGC Highlander Team

Hey guys, how’s it going? Sorry for the long delay to post this, but I wanted to wait until this season came to a close… which hasn’t happened yet. So screw it, I’m posting now. The playoffs have almost wrapped up and the winners have been decided in every bracket but our own. Surprisingly, Friendship and Kindness lost to Wolfcats, and then Wolfcats lost to Stock 4 Pubs - the guys that beat us. So S4P made it to the finals where they are to face Death Marked Soldiers. Not surprisingly, though, is that there were “complications” with scheduling their match, so it has been delayed until the 20th. Here’s the link to view the brackets:

As for the Platinum Bracket, Classic Mixup faced against Inglorious Broadcasters, where Classic won. Their match was broadcasted, which you can watch here:

All the teams that placed in the top three of each division will receive posters and in-game medals. This is what an admin stated in the forums. Unfortunately, it doesn’t look like we’ll receive anything. Bummer, I know; maybe next time.

I want to thank you guys for participating in this with me. I didn’t initially sign up to lead, but you guys made it an easy job. It’s hard to find people that are as dedicated as this group. Showing up to almost every practice and game (with the exception of our supposed subs) over the course of several months is no easy task. We worked hard and made it to 8th place in the Silver Division. If that doesn’t seem like much, take into perspective that almost a hundred teams signed up for this league initially, and we rank about the 27th overall. So yes, eat that much earned cookie.

UGC is hosting a summer league starting July 11th. It’s going to run 8 short weeks. I plan on taking a break from highlander this summer so I will not be participating. However, if you guys are interested I believe sign-ups begin next week. If you want to partake in this, post your interest in the recruitment forums, or you could always form a new team. If you guys want the Mad Hatter legacy to continue, then that makes things easy: Appoint a new leader and replace your current Medic. Those Medic players are a dime a dozen.

UGC will host a new league this fall (after their summer one) which I do plan on participating in. I will be forming a new team, which all of you are welcome to join. Please let me know if you are interested. I will hold a spot for you in the roster when the time comes to register.

Thanks again guys. It was a great beginning to the year, and I hope to see many of you return with me in the fall.
