League III.8, currently at the halfway point..a series of things have happened in League III.8
First of all, the Big 8 are now looking very strong and are coming close to the level of play the Great 8 play
Now news from the 2 conferences:
Big 8: The Toronto Assassins hold 1st place with a 12-1 record and look extremely strong AND YOUNG, they are in a gud position to possibly promote this season or next season
The Rouge et Or, winners of the Big 8 last season, have a strong team with a 10-3 record tied for 2nd with Jhak Telecom. Their defense is shaping to be one of the most formidable and are the biggest threat to the Assassins.
Jhak Telecom have sold off their monster center but still have an impeccable team. Whether or not they could pose a challenge to the Assassins remain to be seen.
The Big Green Aliens have pulled ahead to a strong 8-5 record and impressively in their first season. This Run and Gun team looks gud, but in the long term, might not be as strong due to their small arena and extremely old players. This is a team to watch as they seem quite enthusiastic about the game.
It looks like the 7th and 8th place teams, Stankers and Toronto Generals (each 1-12) are going to relegate as one will finish last and another will not be able to compete against the other conference.
However, it is interesting to see the 5th and 6th place teams, the Maulers and Toronto Raptors 9. The Maulers are a wildcard team as they have strong potential to be an extremely gud team at times but in other games have not lived up to their standards, but currently they are 1 game ahead of the Toronto Raptors 9 who are currently in my opinion one of the most underrated teams (i am biased) Recently selling 696,000 19 yo ATG PG, they immediately went to work, signing two Centers who are breaking backboards as well as anyone. This team could be a threat to the Maulers and could even hit the Big Green Aliens who are situated in 4th. Teams underestimating them have been causes to some upsets.
Now to the Great 8: I Wor Kuen with a 13-0 record remains the best team in the league and likely to promote. With a firm grasp and now checking their team regularly, they are looking good.
The Sierra Madre City Fighting Turkeys, another extremely gud team, have waited a very long time to have a chance of promoting. This team is a team that can challenge I Wor Kuen's reign of terror in the League.
The Montreal Fireballs have recently become inactive and a new team took their place. This definitely puts a curveball into the league as now teams like MasSoul (another extremely underrated team) could make a run for the playoffs at position 4. Kahraba is another great team, but have recently fallen a bit. They have to be able to come out strong to compete this season or prepare for a run in upcoming seasons. With my prediction of MasSoul trickling into the playoffs, that leaves Southside BC in 5th place making them safe from relegation.
The Tigercats, currently, in last place, have been tanking but have arguably...one of the top 3 teams in the league. They will not relegate and will prob will finish 2nd last, gaining a bunch of money and a gud prospect as well. This is a team to watch next year, they are my favourites to promote in Season 21.
This leaves the Montreal Fireballs in a very unstable position as suddenly, they could find themselves in last place whenever the Tigercats choose to make their move.
So managers in League III.8, its time for the game to begin, every team is a strong one and everyone can make a move. GL
