Carlini's Avengers
The Brfxxccxxmnpcccclllmmnprxvclmnckssqlbb11116 Team
Team Gladiator
Dr Hugh Jardon's Multi Team
KDogg's Team

In 3rd place, we had Carlini's Avengers, the one man show lead by Carlini himself!

2nd was a joint place between Hugh's team and Maximus in Team Gladiator

1st was taken out by King Woldy's Fan Club!

Congrats to all our winners! I am still conferring as the most amusing/witty team name with my co-host HRH Woldy I. This will be announced shortly. Or not.
