Getting a little tired of hearing "but we finished first every time". That doesn't matter any more. At this point, if Cavalry wants to be recognized as a champion, they need to just win the damn games that dictate who is champion.
Uh no. We won the spring cup (or whatever name they gave it that year), which meant we were one team in the final. We also won the fall cup, which meant we were the other team in the final. Obviously, those two wins (which were entirely legitimate, and there's no semantics here) came before the microwave plate. So no, they were not first!

And furthermore, there was no need for a final. If anything that should've been a split squad final between Cavalry. People suggesting that those two games override the other two trophies that came before it are just plain wrong.

This has nothing to do with how the rest of the world decides who wins. These were the rules setout from day one. We won that spring, and we all knew the league would try to figure out a way to make that count less. Well, they've tried...but we all know we won first.

And lastly...FTF.
