As one parent from Forza1 18 UA said while watching Arizona Storm Elite 18 Thunder and Wave 18 Brennan going at it to close out gold Pool 2 on Sunday, it was the most intense match Forza had all season. 

Sidelined, there was nothing Forza could do but sit and watch and nerve out like mad. Having downed Wave in three games, 14-25, 26-24, 15-13, to start Day 3 and remaining alive with the victory, Forza was confident it was going to qualify as a result. Once Forza finished the pool by beating Central Cal 18-1, all Forza needed was Storm, which hadn’t lost a match to that point, to top Wave and the bid was Forza’s.
