It's sold out pretty much, 84 00:03:38,520 --> 00:03:40,400 Speaker 4: so we're going to have close to sixty thousand there, 85 00:03:40,400 --> 00:03:41,960 Speaker 4: which would just be absolutely amazing. 86 00:03:42,120 --> 00:03:44,640 Speaker 1: And yeah, from memory. 87 00:03:44,560 --> 00:03:46,440 Speaker 4: The last time I played a final Adopters, it was, 88 00:03:47,240 --> 00:03:48,800 Speaker 4: you know, one of my favorite games we've been a 89 00:03:48,800 --> 00:03:50,840 Speaker 4: part of, and it was by far the loudest game 90 00:03:50,880 --> 00:03:52,760 Speaker 4: I've been at, so super exciting. 91 00:03:52,840 --> 00:03:56,440 Speaker 3: Well, it is the Sun's first ever finals appearance.

Yeah, you know, they're they're a new cup 100 00:04:20,760 --> 00:04:22,960 Speaker 4: like us, and they're they're pretty excited by the opportunity 101 00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:25,960 Speaker 4: they've got ahead of us as a way, and we're 102 00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:27,520 Speaker 4: ready for their best, and we think it's going to 103 00:04:27,520 --> 00:04:30,120 Speaker 4: be a pretty fierce contest. They're a team that's really 104 00:04:30,120 --> 00:04:32,120 Speaker 4: strong in the contest and that's where they games won 105 00:04:32,120 --> 00:04:34,960 Speaker 4: and lost. So yeah, No, we've got to expect their 106 00:04:34,960 --> 00:04:36,640 Speaker 4: best and we've got to expect them to be fired up. 107 00:04:36,640 --> 00:04:40,640 Speaker 4: But we're certainly leaning on a homegrown advantage and leaning 108 00:04:40,680 --> 00:04:41,920 Speaker 4: into our crowd and getting. 109 00:04:41,720 --> 00:04:45,039 Speaker 2: Them involved, making them, make them feel. 110 00:04:46,600 --> 00:04:48,000 Speaker 3: Let them take care of that. 111 00:04:47,960 --> 00:04:51,000 Speaker 2: One of them and they will.
