Alpha

Top 5...
1.) Boston Massacre - Owner note boasts some impressive stats including a 120-24 regular season record.
Minimal agents will make tactics a breeze. These guys are for real and a contender for gold. 49-0 Gorilla ass beating
put contenders on notice.

2.) All Star Wolverines - I'm going to assume they are a S19 boosted team. They have a history of success in the
minors and should compete for Alpha champions. bigg987 has some impressive DC hardware.

3.) The Dead Presidents - beat a well coordinated team in the Blitz in the scrim, but they also have a lvl advantage.
S19 booster. AZSEAfan owns most of the offense and I assume he will be OC. I think any one of the top 3 in Alpha
have a legit shot at gold.

4.) Sydney Pelicans - full roster, experienced agents... unlikely they make it out of the second round of the playoffs.

5.) Lauderdale Sticks & Bricks - Border Runners is a very good OC, but can he DC?

Playoffs…
6.) St. Alphonso's Pancake Breakfast - I'm not sure if these guys boosted S19 or 20...

7.) Elmira Blue Devils - All level 1's, jmh1998 sole agent and owner.

8.) Devonport Field-Gunners - All level 1's, Janner-Hammer sole agent and owner.


Outside looking in…
9.) Kathmandu Mountain Climbers - They're not L 0-132 bad, but they're not championship material either.

10.) Hornell Hooligans - Only 42 dots on the roster and many of the agents are inactive. However, they do have a
championship in their history... don't sleep on these guys.

11.) Cash Only - New team with an experienced owner. Only 46 players on the roster, I'm sure there wasn't AI in place
for Black Sea.

12.) Krakow Kings - incomplete roster, and with 100% chemistry a doubt they are trying to fill it up.

Meh…
13.) Vinland Vikings - Lots of CPU's on the roster, but beat a similar team down in an early scrim.
14.) Singapore Flames - CPU roster, buy hey, they have a win! lolLaVergneLightning
15.) Royal Oak Oaks - Mostly CPU roster.
16.) South Bend Golden Domers - Mostly CPU roster.

Zeta

Top 5...
1.) Christchurch Fighting Maori - The early team to beat in the Zeta conference. Christchurch
has a lot of confidence going into season 20 after winning their league last season.

2.) Ramstein Red Devils - We are a solidly coordinated team with a plan. We know wtf we are doing
so don't come to our house half stepping. Thank you, have a nice day.

3.) Thunder Bay Titans - S18 conf champion in competitive minors. Owner note reads 2nd
Round of Playoffs (Elite League)

4.) Nebraska Maniac Gorillas - They have a chip on their shoulder after doing very well in
Canadian Pro. They got destroyed by a very good Boston Massacre team in the preseason. 3 spots
left on the roster for additions. Is that a good thing, or a lack of planning?

5.) Toronto Blitz - The Toronto Blitz is historically a very well coordinated team, having won 40+
games in a row at one point. Why didn't "letzdance" boost S19? He owns every player on the team
and that will give him an advantage with tactics setting. Can he overcome the level difference
at the end of the season?

Playoffs...
6.) Nashville Snipers - It appears the Snipers are still trying to fill their roster. I question the dual rushing QB tactic, but
having Ghetto Witch Dr at DC should help make this team an easy pick for the playoffs.

7.) Vicious Circle - Their special teams will be killer with 14 dots with ST archetype. "livebytheblitz" has the majority of the dots
on the team. He's been around awhile so I"m sure he knows what he is doing.

8.) Black Sea Skulls - I recognize many of the agents on Black Sea. I don't understand why they didn't boost season 19, but they should still
be a force during the regular season. crawlins said, "Aye, we be here fer th' gold trophies mateys!" Highly unlikely imo...

Outside looking in...
9.) Francis Vigo Statue Climbers - This team will rely on the dot building of agent "tzmj". I have a feeling this
will be a decent team that will be let down by coordinating miscues. Owner "hoosierhomer" does have a Gold
owner trophy in his case, but I'm expecting the statue climbers to get altitude sickness.

10.) Chi Town MISFITS - Agent "ibelieve" and his multi "tbradburn" decided to boost early. That will
help them win games during the regular season but will hurt them come playoff time. Only 48
players will hurt late in games when stamina becomes an issue.

11.) Justice League - Well coordinated team, The League will beat teams they shouldn't with a CPU roster this season. Watch.

12.) Buffalo Blizzards - Still in building mode and not ready for the season to start. The owner note asks agents to
boost now. ?WTF?

Meh...
13.) AZ Lets See Some ID ? - incomplete roster, kind of feels like a max xp team.
14.) La Vergne Lightning - Note from the Owner reads "Amidoinitright?" Answer, No. You lost to a CPU roster in a scrim.
15.) Lemar Steelers - incomplete roster, many CPU's
16.) The Columbus Saints - CPU, stat padding time!

I guess C....but should not be too hard to figure out with a player builder and some practice.

I'm curious to how your builds turn out. Will be a good little GLB experiment. In theory we are both after the same thing, we are just trying to get there by cap building instead of waiting.

We will be almost the same level at the end of next season anyway. People that boosted to 4 will be L23 to end season 21 and we will be L22.

Oh, and we will be cap building too...once the season starts....we are not slowbuilding or anything.

AC doesn't know anything worth posting...

Wish we could keep this group of teams together as we climb the ladder, it would be fun.

We boosted 1 level last season, got to 48 cap and then boosted the other 2 so we already have a point to our favor on the natural leveling up. This season's boost will go towards points after the 60 cap and in some cases possibly the 68. I'd like to think that will put our dots ahead of yours in the longterm, natural leveling up race, but we shall see!!

Maybe, but we also get to have our levels and boosts happen after we get to the cap as well...it just happens at a later date. We will all be at the cap before our first game.

Thanks for the writeup. The hard work is appreciated. I think we'll try and sneak in at 7 or 8, but wouldn't be surprised if we wind up outside looking in.

I don't expect to take a gold from any of the guys with 4s and 7s on their rosters, but we didn't get wiped out in the first scrim on generic AIs, so that's a plus. Anyone interested in seeing how the CPUs work are welcome to watch us this season, and always welcome to PM me. Hell, I'll even lolGM folks if they want.
