Back in 2015, the @xstf_team team was founded at @uporto. I got invited to the first CTF and embraced the captain role shortly after. In the first months, there were just 3 active players: @JLLiS , Joana Barão, and me. Almost no one wanted to join us. But we still pushed through sleepless nights, sometimes ending up with 0 points in multiple CTFs as we worked to grow the team. Then, @cirne12, and now @goncalomelo_sw, stepped up as captains and took the team to a new level. Let's go!
