We’ve successfully reached the Top 25 by earning the 24th place out of the 5693 teams and by solving 61/67 challenges and gaining 18825 points. I’m very proud of our team (Ukatemi Technologies Plc), it was a huge team effort, sometimes playing until 4 AM.

Congratulations to the winner teams:

And also congratulations to the other Hungarian team from University of Obuda, CyBetyarz who have reached the 47th place with 57/67 solves and 17425 points.

Hoping for a merge in the Hungarian teams soon, so we can compete together and not against each other!
