With the backdrop of towering clouds in the Colorado sky, 12 of the best men’s club teams in the world squared off in a dramatic first day of the US Open. We saw upsets, dominant favorites, great efficient ultimate, terrible sloppy ultimate, and everything in between. A couple emerged unscathed, and four teams are already out of contention. If Friday painted a picture, here’s the color each team brought to the palette.
Agreeable Gray: Brussels Mooncatchers
Mooncatchers and the top echelon of US men’s ultimate definitely get along. Potentially the most consistent team at the fields on Friday, the Brussels outfit dispatched each of their opponents by multiple goals, securing a bye to quarters and a favorable matchup therein. The athletic, big space, big play game that they excel at also seemed to agree with the largely pristine conditions throughout pool play as Daan De Marrée, Sofiène Bontemps, Arvids Karklins, and the rest of their big playmakers were able to maximize their skill sets.
