In a three-bid Northeast Region, Boston DiG and Amherst Sprout get their first shot at making nationals in the 1st place bracket semifinal. These teams know each other well, having played earlier this year in the Boston Invite final, and with former teammates from prior club or college careers. In the past, Boston has had the upper hand, but maybe this time the men from central Massachusetts can secure their trip to San Diego first.
Brooklyn Grand Army has threatened to play spoiler in past years. New York XIST was upset at sectionals, but still remains a favorite to qualify for nationals. At the Northeast Regional, anything can happen!
New York PoNY came into regionals with a chip on their shoulder, having struggled at the major TCT events they attended. Amherst Sprout must have been giddy when they found out GOAT was not playing the series, leaving that third bid out of Northeast Regionals ripe for the taking.
Connecticut Deadweight was a complete unknown, until they upset XIST at sectionals. They come into Northeast Regionals ready to face a recent nationals and worlds attendee in Boston Wild Card. With three bids on the line, anything could happen this weekend!
