QUIZ RECAP

They say a picture is worth a thousand words. So take a look at that image above. What immediately springs to mind? A sour taste in one's mouth? Bitterness?

You'd be right. Pictured above is Hail Hydra. Hail Hydra had a pretty great night, managed to stay one step above or behind Quizlamic State (coming off a three week successful winning streak and looking to go for four). Hail Hydra knew they could overtake them, upset the streak and begin a new one for themselves. They had a solid team, they were confident with their questions, they came prepared to win.

And then they didn't double the final round. All of that confidence, that gusto, that bravado - they let it slip. Had they doubled - they would have beaten Quizlamic State tonight. By one point. One point.

However, they didn't double. And this picture tells you all you need to know about how that decision went down afterwards.
