Same, my team:

• David has work until 11
• Destroyer is going to a big football game
• Eko is banned for literally the stupidest reason I've ever heard
• Aarian is banned
• Nadine is probably going to a friend's party
• Male is inactive
• Rygor is in Indiana
• Ares doesn't care about the GST
• Tucker will be too high to remember the date

I've never GST'd with a full and active Mixed team though, so it doesn't bother me anymore. As always, the GST is just a for-fun tournament that sees a winner based on who can be online and who is willing to temporarily shuffle into guilds to try and get the win.

I don't think Essence has a full team either. Alumni either skips the Mixed tourney or just yolos it with our active members. Whatever happens, I hope both tournaments are won by a team that didn't desperately come together because they're thirsty for a hat that they think will raise their status in the sparring community. I wouldn't be too bothered to see Deity win.

I think the iDevice tournament has been a lot more competitive and had the better sparrers for a while. I feel like a team that is mostly iDevice could win a combined tournament.
