Already holding its bid, Top Select 18 Elite Blake managed to steer clear of the drama that entangled the qualifying process this past weekend at the Boston 18s qualifier.

The only team in the field with its ticket already punched to Dallas, Top Select finished on top of the 28-team field by going 10-0 and dropping just one set. It was really more about the trickle-down opportunity Top Select’s showing created. With the final bid falling one place to fourth, the escapades should have been over with once the gold pools ceased.
