Speaking as someone who was there for LvN2: yep, we underestimated them. Probably because we won the first time (forgetting how close it was...)--and also, we discounted how much they'd want to win the rematch!
In retrospect, I think that loss is probably a part of why we were able to win against Plague--yeah, we stepped up our efforts because Plague is really great at dom and we wanted to face them on an equal footing, but also because we'd seen what happens when we get careless.
I'm a bit conflicted between "support my wallet" and "support Nature", because Nature really was a good opponent when we faced them before. But I don't know how common my feelings will be, especially since we have a lot of new people since those battles.
