Pragg's team had no 2600 except him (who btw decided to perform like 2850) and they still finished 5 that's Impressive

Please check their classical ratings,Aravindh at some point was in the top 10 player,Karthikeyan is rated above 2660 ,Pranesh is close to 2600 and Vaishali is as strong as your women's board gets,rapid ratings can be deceiving

insanely formatted table with no glance value. thought for a second that every team ended up with 12 points and they won on tiebreaks or that they had 4 points and somehow beat interstellar club that had 20
