Season 117 is a little bittersweet for me as we have two Championship teams heading off into the sunset.
First we have Steel City Kops.
Established in S73 or so and made Casual Pro in S78 winning Gold for the first time!
S79 Silver
S81 Gold
S82 Gold
If it weren't for Granite they probably would have won in 80 and 83
S90 Gold
S91 Silver
S92 Gold
S93 Gold
And again Granite stops the 4 year run of dominance.
S95 Silver
S96 Silver
S97 Silver
Make that 7 trophies in 8 seasons. Needless to say I wasn't happy.
Season 98 we experienced the Dotpocolyse so no winners through S103
S104 SCK came out swinging and won the first Gold post dotpocolypse. But times have been tougher since then and they enter S117 in what looks like their final season.
Final tally, 7 Casual Pro Championships, 10 time Casual Pro Tourney Champions, 5 Casual Pro Runners Up while winning 13 Conference Championships
I say bittersweet because while I've been battling them for championships since S79, I've also have players there since S83 or so. Hats off to PK, Roc, Grey, Ken,TJ, Monty, Theo and all the rest of the SCK crew.
The second team entering what looks to be their final season is the Philadelphia Phrenzy. Like SCK with no farm team in the works, this more than than likely is their final season. While the Phrenzy's time in Casual Pro has been shorter, it's been nearly as impressive as SCK.
Not sure if Jack and Ryan got a little tired of winning Golds on the regular side of the game, but Philly has been a nice addition to Casual Pro. Philly started in S92 and made the Casual Pro playoffs in S94
S95 Gold
S96 Gold
S98 Through S103 - Dotpocolypse no games played
S105 Gold
S106 Silver
S107 Gold
S110 Silver
S116 Gold
Final Tally, 5 Casual Pro Championships, 4 time Casual Pro Tourney Champions, 2 Casual Pro Runners Up while winning 7 Conference Championships!
This one is also bittersweet to me too, not just because I've had players there, but I was also trusted to OC them for those seasons. As anyone knows, when you coordinate teams in the same league, all you can do is put in the same game plan and let the better team win. It's been fun and frustrating at the same time playing them. Hats off to Jack, Ryan, and Drew who DC'd Philly for all these seasons.
Now for the rest.
Alpha
Las Spezia - Shink had his team humming along until losing to eventual champion Philly. Lost twice to Key Largo. Don't think they win 12 league games this season.
Philly - Last seasons Gold champion - Can they add to their Hall of Fame credentials?
Black Sea - There's a Storm brewing and it's made it's way back to Casual Pro. Will this new and improved version of the Storm win them the coveted title that has eluded them.
Key Largo - 6Kings had the Eskimo's playing pretty well in their first season back in Pro until a 6 game losing streak derailed their season. Still made the playoffs.
Hulk Smash - Hulk is back for the third time. I don't think the third time will be the charm. Lost to all the other promoting teams except Huntsville last season.
Huntsville - Back again. Expecting much of the same this time around.
Beta
Arditi - Last seasons Beta Champ losing to eventual Silver Trophy winner Bier. Won 12 league games. I'm thinking just a little less, like 11.
Bier - Drew had Bier back in the Championship but not after a few head scratching losses. Got rid of those possession receivers so we'll see what this version looks like soon.
Wu - 10 win season for Roc's crew. Not much has changed. Originally posted by Rocdog21
That last play was brutal...fucking casual. from 2020
SCK - Playoffs last season, losing to Arditi. Can grey and the crew add to the legacy in their final season.
Granite - Back in Pro with their tails between their legs after last seasons disappointment. Won S116 Casual Pro Tourney though. What kind of Jekyll and Hyde team is this?
Munchen Zeebachs - I know nothing about them. One owner team of players and first time in Pro I believe. Not even going to google the name.
Good luck to all!
