I guess MC is better than last year, but I think even Nepsy might agree that they have the players to be a lot better than they showed last night. They were simply superior to LN, and it seemed like at times they were happy to just toy with them. I felt that If they had tightened up and gone hard after every point like the needed it, they could have completely destroyed LN.
I'm no expert on MC, but I believe they have potential they have not yet shown.
