Here we go! Thank you for everyone who has voted for us so far over the first 2 rounds. 1 more time. Team Karasu can do this. Our team can beat any team because we play our own game. I’ll give a longer write up in a bit about why we can and should win this. Karasu no kokoro ---

Thanks firstly to @TaliaParks for arranging this - I didn’t expect it to be quite as fun and engaging as it was. Thanks for @Shiratori and our other competitors - see you next tournament!
