I had technically won off of having the best record, being the only person without a loss (the only 3-0 Gyarados was beaten by Evan Cole to 3-1)
Next turn, I counter-attack with nearly all my forces (I say nearly because I want to be able to block next time around), because in their haste to kill me, they left themselves completely undefended
