You definitely drew the toughest opponent left (In my opinion) in Philosopher Kings. Though, I don't think it's game just quite yet. I still think you got a chance.

Top Naismith teams may underestimate second or third division teams. I can give you a few reasons why you still got a chance.

1. Kings has a TV game this Saturday against the second best team in Naismith. I'm sure that he'll try in that game.

2. There are actually two cup matches this week (If one wins this match). It's quite possible he'll try to save his best team for his second cup opponent.

3. Never know, training might happen and that mucks up lineups sometimes.

4. Tactics, predictions and effort level makes a difference. And you never know, injuries and foul trouble changes the game.

Goes to show how tough our division/conference is. 5 our of the top 16 teams left in the cup from II.4 Great 8.

League I.2 - Good job guys!

Also, I finally have a 12 man roster with only one international player! Time to start saving for the arena updates. Looks like the FT boost is worth investing in. Did any of you see results from the upgrades you purchased?

The All-Star line-ups seem kinda wack this year. Oh well. Jakobitsch with his 5th consecutive AS Game, I think.

Agreed. All but one of the top five scorers were held out. MacMurray was absolutely robbed this year - not even in the top vote count, however, the 5 spot is pretty tough in this league seeing as how Hoshino hasn't made an appearance yet. How many votes does Nestor Neal eat up too?

Two of these guys are also currently for sale so it will be interesting to keep an eye on them going forward.

Congrats on making the Semi-Finals, you're the last of us remaining! Good luck!

Props to NPC for narrowly winning against Thompson Gunners!

Thanks man! I feel like I got pretty lucky in the tourney this year, but it's pretty cool to make the top 4. I totally screwed up my game shape this week though so I doubt I'll make it any further.

Still, you drew a pretty favourable matchup since you don't go against Kings or Bears next week. It could be tough, but finals are looking like a possibility.

Nicely done Blaze! You've got a shot at the finals. Your opponents game shape is hurting as well. I risked it myself and will pay for a few weeks. Good luck!
