I must say I think you are underestimating yourself a bit here Rostah. Sure the big 8 was definitely better than the Great 8 and my team overpowered relatively speaking. Also I am writing this after Sunburn fell to Gloryboyz. The biggest thing I think you are mistaken on is incentive. After beating Brooklyn in the regular season finale I secured auto promotion to D2. In other words, I will be in D2 regardless of the playoffs. And because of that I actually have reason to intentionally lose to Gloryboyz. Now I have not decided if I will do that, but if I do and you play Gloryboyz in the finals, you have decent chance of winning it. To be fair I expected it to be Sunburn to beat me, as you mentioned they beat me earlier this season, but the playoffs are not as clear cut as it may seem.

I think Organization XIII is getting slept on heavily. Their depth might be problematic, but that top 7 is really, really good. A lot of their losses came at a time where they were massively underperforming relative to where they are now. AZ got super unlucky with the injuries to Carter and Kulacs, and there aren’t any matchups that seem like cakewalks between the remaining teams, but I think Organization XIII has a very real chance to win it all.

Edit: No matter what happens, the league could look completely different next season. New 8 seed in the B8, new 5-8 seeds in the G8, and new champion spot are normal. On top of all that though if Phoenix doesn’t log in by Monday he goes bot, and if Pressure were to tank (not saying you should or pressure you to do so, only floating the idea because it was mentioned), that would add a second promotion spot as well. In short, that would be up to 8 new teams next season. Oh, and Dachshunds completely overhauled their roster at the end of the season, so that will very much feel like a new team as well.

Well that is that. A quick one season in and out. It was fun playing all of you. Few special mentions to Sunburn, Rostah, and Organization 13 for providing the toughest challenges. Organization XIII you played well in the finals just couldn’t overcome my HCA. Wish all you luck going forward.

P.S: if anyone is tanking and wants to sell me your star player let me know.

Congratulations! Your stay was brief to say the least. However, that was likely expected as you lead a tough squad and manage it quite well, imho. Best of luck moving forward!

Congratulations! Your team was well built, and seemingly had no weaknesses on top of the high payroll. I’m sure you’ll do great next season in D2!

Now that the draft is upon us, anyone want to brag about their draftees? I saw Cedar Creek got what appears to be a beast in the first round. He was #1 on my board as well. Mine are okay, but don’t fit the current training plans in any way.

Congrats to you, was a fun end of the season for me and thought i might give you a tun but your team is extremely well built. Good luck in the future!
