So how does losing to a pickup team make you feel?
Read up a little. Lest you look uninformed.
How does it make me "feel"? What is this, Dr. Phil hour? How would a winning or losing a game cause anyone to "feel" a certain way, outside of the camaraderie of teamwork? It doesn't make me "feel" any way. With a question like that, I'd have to ask you - do you seriously attach emotions to a video game?
The fights were awesome fights and very challenging. In fact, it was clear that the pickup players, specifically JB11, were the linchpin of tournament. If it was up to me, I'd nominate JB11 as MVP. The event as a whole brought in some competitive gameplay that this game is sorely lacking.
