PRX alecks explains why Paper Rex chose LEVIATÁN as their first opponent:
"We tried to pick a team that we think we will have the most fun with rather than someone that we wanted to beat"
"That's pretty much what me and Ash [Wendler] talked about in the days leading up to this. We were trying to figure out why all the first seeds lose. For me, I'm not sure, but we tried to not overprepare. I think we tried to be as relaxed as we can.
We came in and then we tried to pick a team that we think we will have the most fun with rather than someone that we wanted to beat. Sometimes when you feel as though you need to win the game, it gets a little bit more difficult. So everyone was ready and we were happy, and it allowed us to play our game a little bit better."
