The choreography was actually pretty well thought out... but man, all that over-the-top emphasis on those specific movements felt forced, especially since half the crowd didn't even realize they were supposed to be stepping up on those two beats. And don't even get me started on the top row—those yellow "A" letters are facing the wrong way. They really should have thrown some blue ones in there too to balance it out.

You can actually see three out of the four here, it’s not just the Handball Kickers.

Honestly, you really have to squint to see it, but if you look closely under VK Ulica, you can spot that little San Francisco Armada logo—well, at least two letters of it, if my eyes aren't playing tricks on me over on the far left. Even VK Ulica isn't super clear, but those who know, know. And just a bit to the right of them, there's that Martha's Vineyard flag from '87... Look, I don't want to get dragged into any petty arguments or nonsense because, truthfully, I wasn't even there when this all went down. But if people are really pushing this theory that everything was "returned" or given back... I mean, I've talked to someone who was actually in that room, and they told me straight up: nothing was returned. To me, the logic just doesn't hold up. If you guys were truly that powerful—if you could make calls and issue threats and basically scare the Demons into returning everything—then why would you just ignore the Martha's Vineyard flag? It meant something back then. Why leave the San Francisco Armada logo behind too? If you had that kind of clout, you could have settled it all with one phone call. You claim you threatened them and the Demons folded, but then nobody even asks about the Martha's Vineyard crew or the Armada stuff anymore? The math isn't adding up here... I'd love an answer if anyone actually has a decent one.

I honestly think we need to talk more about how much people rely on scripted perfection these days. It’s everywhere. You see it in movies, you see it in corporate presentations, even in how people talk at dinner parties. Everyone is just following a mental teleprompter, trying so hard not to trip over their own words. It feels heavy, you know? Like everyone is carrying this invisible script around, terrified of a little spontaneity. I remember this one time I was at a small coffee shop in Seattle—just a tiny place, nothing fancy—and there was this local jazz trio playing. They weren't even looking at sheet music. One guy just started hitting these weird, beautiful chords, and instead of panicking because it wasn't "planned," the drummer just leaned into it. He followed the vibe. That’s what's missing from most modern life. We’ve become so afraid of the messiness of a real moment that we’ve traded soul for structure. I really believe there's more truth in the mistakes than in the rehearsed lines. kaže:
Congrats on how yesterday turned out! You guys killed it. To be honest, the choreography felt a little bit like that time you went up against the Lakers at Crypto.com Arena, but it was fine. That spontaneous energy during the last 20 minutes? So beautiful. It didn't feel forced at all. We had one bus and about 150 cars and vans rolling in, and the chanting was pretty solid too. Also, props to you guys for the banners. I’m not going to get into the whole "how they were hung" debate—I really don't have the energy to argue about it on a forum. As for you heading into the city... I don't know what you're expecting. It's not like the local team gave us a heads-up that you were coming, and you can't exactly organize a massive takeover in ten minutes. Zachary Morris9, stop talking nonsense.😉

Kudos to Improvisator for being the only one here actually keeping it real. Zachary9, you mentioned the choreography might have looked like yours, but honestly? I haven't given a single thought to your routine, and nobody else did while we were putting ours together either. Look, flags are just flags. There’s nothing to "copy" there. If we’re being honest, a million different groups have pulled that exact same move long before both our teams even showed up. And those scraps of fabric? That’s a win for us, period. It’s not a negative. If pieces of your gear ended up in our hands, that’s on you guys. You should be more worried about how your stuff keeps drifting over to our side!

Honestly, nobody needs to be bringing up rankings or talking about who came in first, second, or third. That’s just nonsense... and for the guys from Demon 3 Group posting here, it would be great if you could just chill out on that stuff. There aren't any hierarchies or "ranks" here. It's obvious to all of us that we all need to focus on making the whole scene stronger. Every single group should start by working on themselves first—that's where the real results will show up—but we don't need these kinds of comments. Man, the Armada from Demon has already taken a few major hits lately, and those are the people who need to be worrying about that. As for us? We just need to figure out how to be way better than we already are. There's always room to grow.

Kudos to Armada for that message. Honestly, walking through San Diego today, I saw about six different Armada banners everywhere... they were split perfectly, three on each side of the street (+ a bonus flag for good measure)

I remember last year’s little mini-tournament down in San Diego. It was wild—you had California playing in the finals against the local crew, and then Cleveland fighting for third place against the coastal team. There were about 30 Hell-raisers showing up to the party, but you wouldn't know it because there wasn't a single sign of the Navy anywhere.
