	In [[Dragon/Season 17]] the {{CTeam\|SCS}} swept the {{CTeam\|BBR}} 4-0 in the [[Dragon/Season_17/Postseason#Dragon_Cup:_SCS_vs_BBR\|Season 17 Dragon Cup Series]] in the [[Squeaky Sweep]]. It was only the second sweep that had ever occurred in the Dragon Cup. It happened one season after the first sweep (see the [[Dragon/Season_16/Postseason#Dragon_Cup:_BCC_vs_RS\|Season 16 Dragon Cup Series]]).		In [[Dragon/Season 17]] the {{CTeam\|SCS}} swept the {{CTeam\|BBR}} 4-0 in the [[Dragon/Season_17/Postseason#Dragon_Cup:_SCS_vs_BBR\|Season 17 Dragon Cup Series]] in the [[Squeaky Sweep]]. It was only the second sweep that had ever occurred in the Dragon Cup. It happened one season after the first sweep (see the [[Dragon/Season_16/Postseason#Dragon_Cup:_BCC_vs_RS\|Season 16 Dragon Cup Series]]).

	The sweep earned the nickname '''The Squeaky Sweep''' because the {{CTeam\|~~BBR~~}} ~~lost~~ Game 4 by a single point~~. The~~ final score was 5,850 - 5,849 (~~see~~ {{DragonGame\|23792408-4863-4c88-9033-2a338076187f}}). ~~The~~ loss occurred in the final ~~generations of the game~~, ~~and~~ the grid was immediately rushed by fans, making it impossible for the Brutalists to challenge the ruling of the Grid Umpires and leading to a slew of conspiracy theories that are widely discussed ~~in online forums~~. ~~These forums are hosted on public computers in the basement of the Berkeley Public Library, and as those computers are occasionally stolen,~~ Brutalists fans have developed an elaborate network of ~~oral~~ historians to preserve the most culturally significant conspiracy theories surrounding the Squeaky Sweep.		The sweep earned the nickname '''The Squeaky Sweep''' because the {{CTeam\|SCS}} won the clinching Game 4 by one single point: the final score was 5,850 - 5,849 ({{DragonGame\|23792408-4863-4c88-9033-2a338076187f}}). When the loss occurred, and the game clock ticked its final tick, the grid was immediately rushed by Sidewinders fans, making it impossible for the Brutalists to challenge the ruling of the Grid Umpires - and leading to a slew of conspiracy theories that are widely and regularly discussed among the Brutalist collective. Brutalists fans have developed an elaborate oral tradition and a network of historians to preserve memories of the most culturally significant conspiracy theories surrounding the Squeaky Sweep.

	The Brutalists are convinced that ~~all~~ they ~~need to do is~~ have the final call of the game declared incorrect after the fact by a Grid Umpire, ~~and that~~ would lead to the outcome of the game getting tossed ~~out~~, ~~forcing~~ the entire series outcome to be invalidated, ~~leaving~~ the final champion undetermined, ~~making the~~ postseason a violation of the rules, ~~rendering~~ it null, void, and invalid. ~~To this day, despite~~ the Dragon Cup having concluded, the Brutalists are still pursuing ~~various~~ legal options.		The Brutalists are convinced that they can simply have the final call of the game declared incorrect after the fact by a Grid Umpire, which would lead to the outcome of the game getting tossed, which would force the entire series outcome to be invalidated, which would leave the final champion undetermined, which would make that postseason a violation of the rules, which would render it null, void, and invalid. (Despite the Dragon Cup having concluded, the Brutalists are still pursuing legal options.)

	~~The Brutalists did manage to get revenge on the Sidewinders; despite a [[Dragon/Season 17/Postseason\|dominant postseason performance]] by the~~ {{~~CTeam\|SCS~~}}, which culminated in a rare championship series sweep of the Brutalists and the establishment of a Sidewinders [[Dynasty]], the Sidewinders were viewed less favorably after the sweep by nearly all of the fans, eventually becoming known by the derisive nickname, [[The One Point Wonder]]. The Brutalists were behind a major media blitz, with ads featuring the "One Point Wonder" nickname to diminish the Sidewinders' victory and tarnish their reputation. The ads included celebrities, actors, and puppies. The campaign was a smashing success, resulting in the Sidewinders' One Point Wonder nickname sticking permanently.		{{DragonSeason17Post_CupSeries}}

	The ~~Squeaky Sweep is considered~~ the ~~most significant single-season defeat since~~ the ~~stunning upset of~~ the {{CTeam\|OB}} in the ~~final generations of Game 7 of~~ the [[~~Pseudo/Season 1/Postseason\|Season 1 Pseudo Cup Series~~]].		The Brutalists did manage to get revenge on the Sidewinders; the {{CTeam\|SCS}} had humiliated the {{CTeam\|BBR}} with a sweep in a Cup series, but fans generally viewed the Brutalists more favorably. Seizing on this, the Brutalists began a major media blitz, with ads featuring the Sidewinders nickname, "[[The One Point Wonder]]" - diminishing their victory and tarnishing their reputation. The ads included celebrities, actors, and puppies, and was a grand success and resulted in the Sidewinders' One Point Wonder nickname sticking permanently.

It happened one season after the first sweep (see the [[Dragon/Season_16/Postseason#Dragon_Cup:_BCC_vs_RS\|Season 16 Dragon Cup Series]]).

	The sweep earned the nickname '''The Squeaky Sweep''' because the {{CTeam\|BBR}} lost Game 4 by a single point. The final score was 5,850 - 5,849 (see {{DragonGame\|23792408-4863-4c88-9033-2a338076187f}}).

These forums are hosted on public computers in the basement of the Berkeley Public Library, and as those computers are occasionally stolen, Brutalists fans have developed an elaborate network of oral historians to preserve the most culturally significant conspiracy theories surrounding the Squeaky Sweep.

The Brutalists are convinced that all they need to do is have the final call of the game declared incorrect after the fact by a Grid Umpire, and that would lead to the outcome of the game getting tossed out, forcing the entire series outcome to be invalidated, leaving the final champion undetermined, making the postseason a violation of the rules, rendering it null, void, and invalid. To this day, despite the Dragon Cup having concluded, the Brutalists are still pursuing various legal options.

			The Brutalists did manage to get revenge on the Sidewinders; despite a [[Dragon/Season 17/Postseason\|dominant postseason performance]] by the {{CTeam\|SCS}}, which culminated in a rare championship series sweep of the Brutalists and the establishment of a Sidewinders [[Dynasty]], the Sidewinders were viewed less favorably after the sweep by nearly all of the fans, eventually becoming known by the derisive nickname, "The One Point Wonder". The Brutalists were behind a major media blitz with ads featuring the "One Point Wonder" nickname to diminish the Sidewinders' victory and tarnish their reputation. The ads included celebrities, actors, and puppies. The campaign was a smashing success, resulting in the Sidewinders' One Point Wonder nickname sticking permanently.
