Thanks, my take is that it was a mix of luck of being underestimated (by design) and a good strategy pick especially towards the end of the season that led to a victory against PhantoMech and Tampines Fusion. The aim was to push as much as possible even though being placed on the 4th place will mean a permanent debuff due to home court disadvantage for us.
The team did transition to a more mature squad this season as I had to balance between different competing goals that I set for myself at the start of the season, so far it's paying off.
In terms of quality of the squad, I think we're almost on par with the top teams but I would not say we're above, we still got a bit of improvements to make but all will be decided next week when we'll know how far we aimed and how realistic it came to be.
Lakers Junior have a very solid team as well and I will be curious to see if the home advantage of LDS will be enough to secure the final game. If I were to bet, I'd say it will be decided at game strategy level rather than player quality but lets see.
I believe that the end of this week I'll have a good idea on our chances mainly driven by what skillsets are popping (or not) as it will be crucial for the success of the squad; from a game strategy point of view, TS, Lakers Junior and LDS managers are top notch and here is where I am most concerned about.
Good luck to you'all!
