Very surprising action today, too, SW. I guess the MM's scared people with their games yesterday. Too bad all don't have Level 2, so they could see what was going on. I guess people want to see news and projection and revenue, etc. from WINR. I'm mystified a bit. WINR was worth way more than this even before the conception of the lottery
