dunno, Hounds are doing OK and we're maybe the most underleveled team in WL.


Median Level of 55 players is 68; mean is 66.2


Valhalla: Median Level of 55 players is 66; mean is 66

fix ur builds


nice try, but we're carrying around 20 lvl 60s. I'm guessing there's not anyone else with as many as 5 other than maybe Shockers.


you uhhhhh, don't understand statistics, do you?


You mean other than the degree I have in it? Worse try than your cheerleader.

If you can't tell that a lvl 60 and a lvl 71 isn't as good as a 63 and 68 or a 65 and 66, then I guess I've overrated your knowledge of the game.

Isn't that why everyone wanted the WL? So talent would no longer be packed in USAPL? Looks like it took three seasons, but it's happening.


^From the other thread. That probably has a lot to do with it.

They seem to be the victims of discriminatory hiring practices.

I think there's been an increase in parity across the leagues as a result of teams looking for the path of least resistance to the world leagues, as opposed to trying to run up the USA ladder where you'll find level 70's at the AA level. In an attempt to win USA dottrophies, teams peak early playing there, so when they finally hit their stride and win USA they start the decline, leaving teams like Valhalla to compete for multiple seasons at the WL level.

Agreed with Sik and Packman here... it's doing its job.

And I also agree with this. The leagues below USA Pro are rough compared to below other pro leagues.

1) The level advantage that USAPL enjoyed has worn off.

2) Several USAPL teams "colluded" to make two super-teams in Lincoln and the Blaze, both of which are doing very well...but at the expense of having 3-4 other teams that are very good.


That's about it.

That's about it.


3) USA Pro is still the hardest way to the WL, making it less desirable.

And 2 isn't exactly true either. Blaze/C's merged, Lincoln got like 6 of Hazy's players and 5 of Hulk/Duffs guys. I think 1-2 players top did not come from the owners of WW and OFG so it wasn't really a merge in any way. C's would of been very good but still not in WL this season, WW would of rebuilt regardless, and OFG is trying to advance to the WL still.

Just so you know, between PT, and his group of agents, he could have put together a USA Pro, EE PRO, and SEA Pro champion, after they put the top talent on the blaze. So with the talent PT and BLynff had to work with they could have fielded 3 pro champions this yr, and a wl champion. Hell my team NBA Jam could possibly win SEA Pro this year, and I don't think we have 10 guys who could start for the AA team they put the rest of the talent they had on http://goallineblitz.com/game/team.pl?team_id=6347..

So even though blaze CCCC merged. PT has some seriously sick dots that should probably be on the c's right now, and if he really wanted to that could have been a USA Pro champion without a doubt.
