At the time the Alliance had just won their first big tournament and things were looking good for the new kids on the block who had officially formed in 2001. Fast forward ten years to 2012. The now-veteran Alliance team has expanded their territory and became the SoCal Alliance. With several players from NorCal on the team, the Alliance is truly a state-wide team but have stayed true to their So-Cal roots and kept the current name and color (orange for Orange County).
