Great effort from the team despite the disappointing result. I know it's frustrating to take "3 steps forward and a couple steps back," but I believe setbacks are part of building a stronger squad. I enjoy the same persistence when I play Veck IO—every loss teaches me something that helps me improve the next match. Hopefully the team can learn from this performance, bounce back quickly, and come back even stronger in the next game.
