Probably because the upload crapped out halfway through. I think it reuses gameids so the link would have sent you to one of last year's games.
Fingers crossed it works this time then

That's because the net connection on that computer (which is the old and decrepit one) died just after I posted the summary above. If its going again tonight I'll get the upload away.

sweet deal. understandable situation

I'm cool with the fact that Hypertrophy may not make the playoffs. But I am proud of my team and Gonzalo Morán for his effort on Thrus, 9/16. However, Hypertrophy has had a very awesome season, and we will be here again.

Ok seriously shocked by Marceau's Performance in September 15-3 with a 13 game win streak!
