Fifth season in a row that there will be a first time B3 champion. Also this is the match between the countries with 4 B3 wins each. Any predictions for the finals?

It's been 20 seasons since a team from Canada has won B3, can ragin stajans break Canada's 20 consecutive season drought without a B3 title?
China would become the only country with 3 different B3 winners. Can 猛牛 win this time after losing in 2 previous B3 finals?

Oh yes of course BC Torooo, i didn't know that.

Any predictions for the finals?

It is very easy. 100% the Chinese team. The Chinese team are playing in the conference final on Saturday and probably will play in the league final on Tuesday...so he are going to have two chances to build enthusiasm. The ragin stajans are playing anything...so his enthusiasm will only be dropped.

You will see. It will be huge difference in enthusiasm. No chance to stajans win in my opinion.

It is similar situation which I had last season...even worse because I had one opportunity to build enthusiasm more than stajan.

loved by the buffalo is doing pretty damn good in the B3 predictions sitting on 121 points in 8th position.

Meanwhile your former scribe (me) has somehow managed to crawl to 110 points to sit in equal 27th position.

猛牛 smashed my mob in a private league game last week and if the old proverb, "3rd time lucky" happens to be a Chinese proverb, then they might be good things to become "immortal" .

My initial analysis was;

猛牛 (70015) Proven quality performer with a solid roster in good gameshape. Hard to read form as has had an easy run in round robin games. One of the chances but not sure that they can win. 5 to 1

the ragin stajans (33578) A 1.1 million roster with balance and depth and some solid player rating means that this team is in with a legitimate chance of progressing through the tournament. Likely to win through from the purple quarter of the draw. 7 to 2

During the course of the tournament SUPERLIGOTA proved in no uncertain terms, that I can be wrong and with regards to 猛牛, i now declare that they can win but Im not sure as yet whether or not they will

I might hold off making my prediction for a couple of days

Good luck to everyone with their tips, except for those teams who I can catch should I manage to pick the winner

Did you consider them future enthusiasm levels in your prediction?

(78574758)

well, their 9 GS all round beat out my 8 GS all round save one 9 GS guy at PF, even with Princeton Vs LP.

The final 10 point margin flattered them tho'

I'd say Canada has a 50/50 chance of beating China next Week

Nah, whilst I did research each of the 32 teams, I didnt go to the depth of looking at their long term schedules and nor did I do psychological analysis of each of the managers to determine what likely enthusiam levels their teams would have in 4 or 5 weeks time.

I apologise for my laziness
