Wake up kids! Time to try and bring some life into the 2nd best league in GLB. In addition to the typically deeper competition level, the forum here is another reason that Casual Pro blows away all the other Natty Pro leagues.

Was doing a conference review for my team and figured I would share. No particular order (just copied the standings page order TBH.)

Looking at the WESTERN conference, it looks to be a 3 team race

Her Majesty's Dragons - Jverser has great teams, but looks like this one may be into heavy decline come playoff time. I think they can finish 4th and make playoffs, but beating the top 3 while mostly in decline will be a tough order.

Charlestown Chiefs - Been a while since they have been in Pro, and made the climb back up. Definitely a top 3 team in the conference, but will have to see if they still know how to compete with the top teams like UhOh and the Tets,

Austin Longhorns - Charlestown beat them for the championship as a level 73 team and Austin was all 79's. They may have a tough time making the playoffs. If they do, best they could do would be a 4 seed, as I just don't think they can hang with UhOh, FPT, or the Chiefs.

Uh Oh! HOOD gone Casual - Historically a very good team and see no reason to think otherwise. Will be battling for home field in the playoffs, and always a difficult match-up once there.


Full Perky Tets - 2 time defending champs. seem to be on cruise control for reg season, and can really turn it on in the playoffs. They are a turnover machine on defense and special teams. No way to avoid them. Top 3 for sure.

Malevolent Devil Dots - UPDATED Transferred into CasPro after dominating Reg Pro 3 by swapping with Sofia. Offense is a little difficult to handicap, as they really didn't play much in terms of competition last season. Based on lolEL, it seems to be a well built team. An all rushing team and lookle like a couple average reg pro teams were able to slow them down a little, so I suspect the top teams up here will be able to do the same. On defense, that were stout against weak competition. They did hold some teams that were near top of RegPro Elite down, so their defense may keep them in some ball games. Overall, with as little as is known about them based on their level of competition, I cannot put them into the top 3 at this point. They will definitely be a tougher opponent than Sofia could have been, so we thank them for making the jump.


My take - 3 team race. #1 seed will have a much easier matchup in round 1 than 2&3 will have. Getting home field will be important so that you don't have to beat 2 tough teams to make it to the championship. I do think the bottom 3 will all be decent competition, and depending on how promos are used, these 3 can have a very nice battle of their own to see who is able to make the playoffs and avoid demotion. Should be a fun season in the West.


EDIT : May as well add the lolEast

EASTERN Conference


Final Boss - Gonna throw all over everyone. Will rack up all the passing and receiver leader stats for the conference, and likely to be the #1 seed heading into the playoffs. Stumbled last season vs the all QB rushing team that they had already beaten twice. I think they will be ready this time and I don't see anyone else in the conference challenging them.

Gridiron Armageddon in the Hood - A farm team with very good dots on board. However with the HOOD mothership making it to WL, they may lose a few dots to the WL team. Also UhOh is HOOD's primary CasPro team so I would expect any holes needed there will be filled off this team as well. Assuming they don't lose too much, or are able to fill the holes, this will still be a very good team.

Dexter's Dark Passengers - Lost to Chiefs and Armageddon last season while at plateau and Armageddon and Chiefs were 73s. Will make for a tough season competing against the best the conference has to offer, but they may able to sneak into a playoff spot.


Royal Air Force - Former champion will be in decline. Will be able to compete strong early, and may tail off a the end. If they can win enough at the start, this team can make the playoffs, but I don't believe they can win silver once their decline kicks in more.


DIABLO DOTS - Another team that will be in decline. Some dots will be in 2nd season of decline as of right now. im4ut has some good dots and connections, but key will be if they can find enough quality dots that are not in decline, This could be the end of Avenger's dynasty as I think they may struggle to make the playoffs.


New Jersey Jets - Defending conference champ went into playoffs as a low seed and pulled off a pair of upsets to grab silver. All rushing team will beat anyone that doesn't prepare for them. Can likely take care of the weaker teams in the conference and may move up to a 2 or 3 seed this season.

Did you try these guys? http://glb.warriorgeneral.com/game/team.pl?team_id=947

Just beat the Chiefs in a scrim and they have a bunch of 73s that never finished their boost. Many by the owner. If he finishes those builds, they could compete. Defense is pretty good

Bit of an old crew though, looks like they will only get 1 shot.
