Hmmm.... guess I misunderstood " There won't be any scheduled matches next week." to mean he wasn't going to be scheduling them.. not that there couldn't be any at all. Ah well, next week it is then. Same days (Tues and Sat) should be good.

Max Rep Meet Niobe (now with more storyline correction)

Think I found a remaining boo-boo related to recent storyline events in the older content: [Team] Alekhin: Sometimes it's a wonder that Zion is even still around, with ops like these. Hmmmm.
