🔥 THE SHIT TALK

Kian owns the historical edge, which means Butters gets another chance to pretend the previous 9 meetings were all bad luck. Kian took the last meeting 121.52–95.64. The history lean is Kian; if that goes to shit by Sunday night, nobody gets to act surprised because this league is run by idiots.
