"I'm really glad that they could get first place this time after losing to Dart Monkeys last time. I'm glad that I could help them win. And I really enjoyed playing the tourney with them," Timeless Ethereal tank player Sawhill said in the post-match interview. Sawhill also hinted at wanting Timeless Ethereal to become a salaried team.
"We're looking to dominate the rest of the Majors we have here," Sawhill said. "Maybe the Minors and Majors, all of them, every tournament, the finals, everything. We're not expecting to lose. And that's about it. We're gonna try to stick together as a team and do what we can to keep winning."
