Baker Street I wish you good luck or more myself actually
don't take me lightly though my ranking underestimates me

Good luck to our cup teams. Last year we were well Represented. Myself and Cheeks (our last years champion) found ourselves in the final 64/32 teams before being knocked out. So lets have a great cup season again this year.

let's cheer on baker street, philly, glugly and grand ma mas in tonight's tournament game. good luck guys!

I won my cup game against the computer played them with 4 guys! ha 4 on 5... didn't want to mess up the game shape of my important players. I clearly need to be better because our side is very competitive.

boy sherlock, i did NOT think you were going to lose that one. really got beat up by his star shooting guard. sorry man, tough loss.

after week 1, we saw both baker street and philly get knocked out in the first round of the cup. this week isn't easier for this league as a whole, as there are some tough matchups again.

Snake River Panthers (d3. 145) vs Tallmanville Chili Peppers (d6. cpu)

North Carolina Tar Heels (d3. 321) vs Staunton (d5. cpu)

Warhawks (d3. 237) vs New York Turbo (d5. cpu)

BucsBlue Lob City (d3. 123) vs Horn Hill Hooligans (d6. cpu)

Walnut Streets (d3. 442) vs River City Plague (d5. cpu)

Grand Ma Mas (d3. 322) vs Byron Whalers (d6. cpu)

BEASTEST TEAM (d3. 888) vs Tallahassee Dusters (d4. 1248)

LambdaLambdaLambda (d3. 87) vs Dedham Broncos (d6. cpu)

CRF Flamengo (d3. 130) vs SuperTridents (d5. cpu)

West Side Tigers (d3. 171) vs Prov City Investors (d3. 217)

nyc warhawks (d3. 365) vs WindWalker (d3. 192)

Frosty BC (d3. 323) vs Mildred Walkover (d6. cpu)

Glugly (d3. 186) vs Above the Rim (d5. 1105)

Strong arm of the law (d3. 304) vs SYDKA Masters (d4. 1192)

the great 8 definitely got the worse of the draws this week, as some of its competitive teams are in real danger of an early tournament exit. strong arm is up against a pretty below average d4 team with poor game shape. shouldn't be too much of a challenge, but you never know. glugly has a below average d4 team. again, shouldn't be too much of a worry for him.

over in the big 8, only beastest team has a challenge whatsoever, and quite a challenge it'll be. tallahassee's manager is entering his 7th season with the team, and he boasts a very... star studded d4 lineup. while his game shape isn't great, beastest's game shape is arguably worse, at least at the top end. tallahassee will look at this as a winnable game, and should he use his big 3 players, he would have a very good chance.

then there's west side. he is up against prov city investors, a very competitive d3 team with an... interesting team structure. they're comprised of almost entirely centers and shooting guards. the team is only 7 deep, but that's deeper than the tigers, who will have to call out the big guns to get the job done and move on in the cup.

finally, nyc warhawks got a tough draw. they play windwalker, who is a d3 team who is competitive in their league, but their league is pretty poor. honestly, should be a win for warhawks. i see no reason to suspect otherwise, unless something catastrophic happens.

for everyone else, congratulations on your cup win and free 50k. maybe 1 more week of majority cpu teams, then it starts getting real for most teams.

Out of all the straws, I get the shortest one.*Sigh*, hopefully pull out with a win. I'm thinking he might CT this game since his league is weak.

wouldn't surprise me if he did. if you want some help scouting them, let me know. i feel really bad you got such a rough draw so early, and i'm just sitting here collecting 50k/wk extra with no effort involved.

ed: even if he does ct you, you shouldn't have to ct him back, is what i'm saying. he shouldn't be able to beat your normal.
