As has already been mentioned in this thread multiple times, this defense was slotted to be a WL Zeta team. Next defense, no matter who wins, will be against a Pro level team. I hope Manus gets the shot. They aren't the best non-WL team out there, imo, but they are from somewhere else than USAPL, which should quiet the bitching.

There's 2 options for the next defense:
1- Challenge the toughest opponent (Nashville, MM, NJB). The people who get pissy about USAPL teams getting all the shots will hate this option.
2- Challenge the toughest opponent from somewhere other than USAPL (Manus, possibly (POSSIBLY) GRitS). The people who are calling Bonn out for taking on lesser opponents will hate this option.

No matter what, someone is gonna whine.


One thing DrkSandman really liked was the idea of a mini tourney or play-in game to determine the challenger.

Maybe for the next challenge, which would be vs Pro team regardless if it's Bonn/OTRRD, we could arrange the top US contender and the top non-US contender to square off and the winner gets the next Trophy challenge.


Sounds like a good idea. Should have that "#1 contender" game be played this week so the next defense can be set up ASAP.

Nashville v. Manus imo

Or if we want to introduce 2 non-USAPL teams, could go for Durham Ice Odyssey or GRitS as the team to play Manus.

Seems a little over the top, to have the "contender" game.

WW is about to play Manu in a ranked scrim tomorrow. The Wolfpack couldn't do scrims because of painmaker's absence but now that it is Hazy's team they're trying to get some games out there. Pain's dots still have 20-25 unused sp and no training or new equip but have still been playing really well. Should be an interesting test for manu as until then they haven't registered a win over a really good team yet (krazy and machu were unranked so i assumed some testing was going on)


Holy shit, we are?

Now can we agree OTRRD are a good choice? They just beat MPHD which everyone was raving about.

Took 2 interceptions (including a pick 6) and MPHD were still knocking on their doorstep to tie it as time ran out.

(not trying to say they're not a good pick, just that this result hardly confirms it)

While MPHD is a good team, they aren't what I would call a top contender.

Definitely a bottom contender

Well, considering they were a coin flip away from having the same record as OTR.

Which would bring me to my second point

Held manu to 3 points. Since you're the DC you must've gameplanned. For shame....

Honestly, I did change a few plays in the DPC, nothing out of the ordinary.

I ask for forgiveness

I didn't game plan on offense, but I did change the pass percentage on all inputs except 3rd and long to about 0.

I asked Wrath if Bonn could play us - not for Traveling Trophy, just want to see how WW stacks up against what right now is the best team in GLB. We're at a disadvantage with Pain's dots but I think we can make it a game.

Blaze over Manus as well, 52-12.
