WTC 2025

Image
The WTC is the highlight of my year, and we spend about six months preparing, theory building lists, shadowboxing matchups, and just generally playing the broken stuff in the game to have a just a tiny little shot at winning the event. This year my team went with Inhumans, Apocalypse, Shadowlands, Wakanda and Storm.  If you're not dropped behind a rock you know that I'm the Inhumans player and the biggest advantage of our team was that I was the best Inhumans player going to the event.
