Spoiler Machine v Ring of Fire - Men’s Final

What a tournament for Ring! Was hoping for a Quarters or Semi appearance but they went ahead and cashed in the whole thing.
From dime hucks and goal-line D, to fearless resets and clean possessions, Ring deserves the 2026 chip! Happy for those guys⚡️

Machine is legit cursed. What witch did they anger in the 2010s?

I wonder if semis and finals were on separate days (i.e. without Thursday cancellation) does Machine fare better?

Possibly, that cardiac arrest of a uni point vs Rhino really burned them out

I've never seen that many turns on Uni - at this level anyway. Both teams were soooo gassed by the end.

Ring of Fire looked like the most “fresh” team in every game I saw. Nationals could be exactly that. the margins are so slim between the top 6-7 teams that it genuinely comes down to who’s running like madmen.

I would imagine this has to be one of the youngest rosters to win club nats.

Two GOATs in separate eras couldn't operate this Machine to a title 😭

Ever since Machine lost to Huntsville Freaks back at the 2019 US-Open, they will never be able to climb the mountain.
