Here is your Summer 2021 Recap, where you can find out who won all the individual awards that we didn't collect prize money for but they still at least matter for bragging rights!
Unlike the too-close-to-call-early Spring season, this time around the championship was practically decided by week 7 and pretty much sealed after the first game of week 8. Unnamed Team 1 came away with an unnecessary clean sweep (despite making every effort to throw the third game) to claim the title by a wide margin.
