Aaliyah Edwards just proved that being an underdog is one of your best advantages in sports. Seeded 8th in the Unrivaled 1v1 tournament, her first matchup was versus Stewie, 2-time MVP of the WNBA. Shocking everyone, she smoked Stewie 12-0 in less than 2 minutes. She then made it all the way to the final match by gobbling up Alysha Gray and Arike Ogunbowale, a 3 seed and a 1 seed respectively. On her road to runner-up, she did something no one else in the tournament was able to do: beat Phi in a 1v1 matchup. Ultimately, Phi did take the best-of-3 series and win the tournament. Congrats! In the end, Aaliyah Edwards walked away with $50K, more confidence in her game, and more respect on her name. She never let the 8 seed define her. She went in, she took it match by match, and she did what was necessary. Being an underdog causes other people to underestimate you, but the most important thing is don't underestimate yourself, and you're gonna surprise people just like Aaliyah Edwards. So how are you inspired by Aaliyah Edwards' journey, and did you think she was going to make it that far?
