who you got?

will edit post later, its dinner time.


Black Orpheus:
Gold Coast Michelin Men -

From what i've seen so far, BO looks like a team that can't be stopped. WL bound imo. 48-13

Cobra Kai:
Feebs -

As much as I like the crew from the Feebs, I think maybe EEA should have been in this spot. Feebs have the coordinators to make this a game, but I'm taking the Kai, 36-28

Mayan Prophecy:
Eastern European Alliance -

Gotta take my boys here, It's at best a defensive battle. 24-12 EEA

Red Hot Chile Peppers:
Berlin Kreuzberg Red Stars -

I think RHCP is overrated here and falls victim to a bad ranking. STARS 40-10

Santiago Spider Monkeys:
Moscow Mad Cows -

I haven't seen much out of the cows this season other than manly ownage of everybody other than the feebs. they got stomped on my the bushmasters who made it way down the list, still don't understand that one. spider monkeys look pretty good. monkey 23-21

San Sebastian Ibises:
Gold Coast Vipers -

TBH, didn't spend much time looking at San Sebastian, but gcv is a tough team. I'll call this one a draw and refrain from any favorites.

Charleston Tigers:
Christchurch Fighting Maori -

CFM might be the worst ranked team in this list. Tigers take on a team much better than they look. CFM 35 - 28


Porto Alegre Smugglers:
Springville Renegades -

smugglers have a squad, renegades are ranked a bit low. this will be a really good game as well. Smugglers 48 - Renegades 42


Gunny Highway's Recon Platoon:
Gurupies -

Gurupies are ranked lower than they should be as well. I think they can take this one, 21-17.

Lima Vampires:
ALS -

This will be a great game. I really like ALS this season and Lima hasn't really played anybody, but they still made them look bad. This is an important game for lima because they haven't shown anything really so far this season. I take ALS just because I think their talent is better.

Botafogo Beach Bushmasters:
Razorback Nation -

bushmasters may be the most underrated team in this tournament. razorback I know very little about but the way they got beat by als, gotta give this one to bushmasters. (infact after this is done, EEA wants to play y'all, i think y'all got a squad)

Medellin Slashers:
Taylor Bulldogs -

slashers beat the spider monkeys, and are a very good team. Taylor is only getting better but this season isnt theirs. Slashers 65-15


Tierra del Fuego Demons:
Three Mile Island Meltdowns -

TMI hasn't showed me much, Demons, barely lost to the bushmasters, and took one on the chin against the platoon. this might be a good one, 23-20 demons.




after I edited this, I don't want to count the OPL v SLAP, but either way, there will be some good games and it will be great fun. GO OPL!

wow, thanks for putting this together bug and offer 1000 free flex to person who picks the most games right!

Here are my entries:

Black Orpheus:
Gold Coast Michelin Men -

Well, I think this game won't end well for OPL - I have a lot of respect for the furious dot management of GCMM's crew but BO is WL playoff team playing in a Pro league. If GCMM is lucky, they'll use basic tactics like they did vs. Krai and then they may have a slim shot at an upset. But here's to hoping..

1-0 Slacpu

Cobra Kai:
Feebs -

I know I'll look downed upon by my own league members for picking the krai but let's be honest, they have some pretty good dot skills over there. Had the feebs shown a dominant win over Berlin, I might be picking this game a little differently. I hope Chop and Stinkcheese prove me wrong

2-0 Slacpu

Mayan Prophecy:
Eastern European Alliance -

I have to say, besides the Gurupies, no team has impressed me more this season than Otega's EEA. I know they'll represent OPL well here. Plus I know Mcallero is still recovering from the Saints win and Mardi Gras

2-1
Slacpu


Red Hot Chile Peppers
:
Berlin Kreuzberg Red Stars -

Very tough game to call. Which teams will show up? Berlin is very good at gameplanning but clearly has dropped off from their dominance a season ago. It appears RHCP is suffering from a case of lost identity - they win the big games but lose to the newcomer tdfd. I'm going to give this edge to RHCP since they came back strong in the next game against the bushmasters.

3-1
Slacpu

Santiago Spider Monkeys:
Moscow Mad Cows

I wonder if PBer remembers, but I once was on his team He runs a good ship and would never hesitate and recommending him as a home for agents. Although, I just think this newcomer in OPL MMC, will overpower this established SLAP team

3-2
Slacpu

San Sebastian Ibises:
Gold Coast Vipers -

I'm pretty sure the Ibises haven't lost a regular season game yet. Too bad for two reasons: a) this game isn't a regular season game and b) their regular season reign will come to an end by playing BO next.

3-3
Even

Charleston Tigers:
Christchurch Fighting Maori

Tigers sent ALS a random scrim earlier in the season and Tay never responded back to my question mark email. Maori, never heard of them but they seem decent - I'll pick them

4-3
OPL

Porto Alegre Smugglers:
Springville Renegades

4-4
Even

Gunny Highway's Recon Platoon:
Gurupies -

I would have liked to see the Gurupies play in the spot where Berlin is because I think they have a better shot at beating RHCP but we all voted for this. Gurupies will trounce this platoon.

5-4
OPL

Lima Vampires:
ALS -

yeah, I'm going to pick against my team..right.

6-4
OPL

Botafogo Beach Bushmasters:
Razorback Nation -

I haven't played them yet but I sure have taken a look at some of their games. I think if the prep for this game, they will trounce the Bushmasters. Hey Razorback, prep for this game, k?

7-4
OPL

Medellin Slashers:
Taylor Bulldogs -

Slashers look tough. I think someone sandbagged this one. Taylor has never really overly impressed me and they will have their hands full here. I just think they don't have all the talent they need to pull this one off.

7-5
OPL

Tierra del Fuego Demons:
Three Mile Island Meltdowns -

TDFD pulled off the big upset of RHCP so maybe they got over their early season jitters. I think so. TMI is still a young but well built team. I inially thought they could pull this off but worry that they 'll come up just a bit shy in this. I think this will be an excellent game and probably the toughest game I had to call. Who knows I may get one of the above games wrong and this could be the tiebreaker..For now, I', siding with TDFD based on their ability to beat a top team.

8-6
OPL

There you have it. Congrats OPL! Bringing back the cup!

sgesmu . . . which player did we have on our team? I remember you as an agent, just can't recall the player. I'm pretty sure it was Jazzy tho, right?

Thanks for the post and good luck (not too much) in the matchup.

**Black Orpheus:
Gold Coas]t Michelin Men -

Ugh, I just picked against my own team
We definitely have the capability to beat BO, but the #1 from SLAP is hella talented as well and they just might be too much to overcome.

**Cobra Kai:
Feebs -

Kai takes this one. Feebs was impressive with their last game. but KAI is too strong for this young team.

Mayan Prophecy:
**Eastern European Alliance -

EEA (my #1 out of OPL) takes this one easy. No offense prophecy, I've played y'all before, but EEA looks too good this year.

Red Hot Chile Peppers:
**Berlin Kreuzberg Red Stars -

This is tough. Neither has wins that impress me that much, but I will give the slight edge to Berlin cause a 3 point win over Rosarica is that unimpressive (although the loss to the Sea Hawks hurts Berlin as well).

Santiago Spider Monkeys:
**Moscow Mad Cows -

MMC takes this due to their most recent wins, Monkeys have had moments this year though. This one might be the most fun to watch.

San Sebastian Ibises:
**Gold Coast Vipers -

GCV just because I love that team.

Charleston Tigers:
**Christchurch Fighting Maori -

CFM because Charleston has a huge loss to good RHCP, gotta keep it closer than that

Porto Alegre Smugglers:
**Springville Renegades -

Again, the smugglers are losing bad to the big teams. That scares me a little from SLAP, as if the league is ridiculously top heavy, gotta give this to the renegades since they keep it much closer against bigger opponents

Gunny Highway's Recon Platoon:
**Gurupies -

Gurupies take this one as well as many others. They are way too good for this seed.

**Lima Vampires:
ALS -

Lima takes this one-see above

**Botafogo Beach Bushmasters:
Razorback Nation -

Bushmasters tkae this one- Nation don't have any big wins yet

**Medellin Slashers:
Taylor Bulldogs -

Slashers are a little unpredictable, but the Bulldogs aren't good enough to be in the top 13 of OPL after the 40+ point loss to GCMM. Medellin takes it

**Tierra del Fuego Demons:
Three Mile Island Meltdowns

TDFD takes this only because of their win over RHCP, but TMI has great chances.

OPL-7
SLAP-6
