What happened

  1. Coin toss: The coin landed tails and only one call matched it.
  2. Thorne won the toss and chose to go second: I'd rather be the one picking off your opening than handing it to you. Take the first stone, Quasar.
  3. Quasar: Your river dries up. GG.
  4. Thorne: River's still flowing. GG, Quasar.
  5. The match ended.

Debriefs

No major change needed; Hex is well-balanced. Maybe slightly clearer guidance on blocking priorities.
