It's easy to have an idea. It's a completely different thing to defend it in front of a panel with a timer counting down. Everyone who made it to finals did exactly that.

𝗧𝗲𝗰𝗵 𝗜𝘁 𝗼𝗿 𝗟𝗲𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝗜𝘁 is a four-player trivia brawl built like a fighting game: you come in confident, you get hit with a question you didn't see coming, and only the team that keeps standing walks away with the prize. CS fundamentals, UP Manila history, CAS/DPSM lore, general knowledge, the board throws it all, and you throw back. 🔥

No special moves. No continues. Just your team and everything you know.
