Just for fun I decided to show the anatomy of an ALMOST WON!! 2 Runner-ups and 1 3rd place. I saw someone else do this (I think Consortium) so decided to go ahead with it. I debated showing strategies and decided not to. Thought it would be fun regardless..

Notes: I got what I wanted in the TC fight, a crit (just not to the leg where I was aiming) but it wasn’t enough.

End: 11-3, 27 FE, 11-9-5-21-17-14-7, Good/Norm, 27/26/26/10/13/21
