In a very exciting final debate on the motion TH prefers Asian collectivist values over Western liberal individualism, team Israel 1 has defeated team USA Blue on a 6-3 split as side opposition. The team consisting of Tamir West, Tomer Zucker and Omer Zilberbeg has been the first team from Israel to win this tournament, and if one of the speakers' statements is true, an international title of any kind as well. We congratulate Team Israel 1 wholeheartedly for winning all 12 rounds until achieving the trophy in 2018!
