So there will be only 1 Champion - who will it be?

Dove is around 12 hours from kickoff and the pre-season preview for the inaugural season is here.
(In the Order GLB has them current)

Alpha Division
Black Dragon Fight Club - Run by K-Money with all players supplied by him. This is K-Money's first run at GLB2 so we are sure to see some creative playcalling even if its not some old standby's. So far the scrims have been unkind to them - perhaps he's setting up to slow roll GLB All-Star Play Caller Hzachary or maybe it'll take him a few weeks to get his bearing.

Atlantis Golden Hoplites - A City League team with 1 SuperStar SS. (For all those bashing me in the forum I recruit them and players like nobody's business). The Hoplites are a "welcome back" and "welcome to GLB team" with many newcomers and some old vets figuring out a well developed sim. Ellix , formely of Ellix Burgers who once ruled the lady in the early days of GLB2 is on as assistant GM and Dredgar who runs the defense is of course a long time GLB2 legend - who got his start calling plays way back when for some guy who loved Roman themed players. Coach Buzz Lightyear has the offense so will it go to infinity and beyond or simply fall flat?

These Guys The reigning Prince of rookie playcalling is fresh off winning a title with a city league team of his home, a hodge podge of parts with auto-recruits at the Charlotte Destroyers. Sure its not Charlotte trying to go back to back - but can Hzachary1 go back to back on rookie league titles taking anyone who signs up? He did add a SuperStar Place kicker and that of course in rookie ball , especially early games could turn out to be big.

Denver Dream SimmiZ has no players and two teams. How very interesting. No one but CPU's on the roster and a career 19-56-1 record. Perhaps there is a master plan here but who knows.

Beta Division
Utah Dogs
Couldn't even make it to the regular season without the owner going inactive. Roster currently filling up with fresh sign ups but let's be real this is a gut job before it even starts.

16th Gallic Legion 7 Superstars on the roster , 6 on offense and run by a GLB2 OG (your's truly) the question is how much rust is on his play calling, building , and organization brain - this is rookie ball playcalling still beats superstars especially early. How long will it take Gallic to assume the mantle of their illustrious forbearers the Stark Dire Wolves, Vandals, and 13th Gallic Legion? Will the 16th add to the proud tradition or will they get the Tutenburg forest treatment?

Las Vegas Raiders Also a Beta contender - 2 Superstars and a full roster - the owner appears to have a GM who visited title town back in Season 23 and then disappeared. So they are coming back though appear to have the hang of things already if their scrimmage results are any indication.

Houston Fish CPU team and tomato can - in a battle with the Utah Dogs for division cellar.

Gamma Division
Huntsville Soul Seeks - Another team with a GLB1 convert owner up to 7 players at the moment and seems to be a little more comfortable with the defense than offense at the moment.

Oakland Minors Run by anonymous so we'll have to see, the owner has no coaching record and many players. No idea how they shake out.

Jacksonville Coyotes - There are no Coyotes in Jacksonville Florida and no owner for this team - total tomato can.

Los Angeles Bears - Run by Cyberninja who hasn't won a title since the 30's season wise a couple superstars 3 total players and not accepting players I don't believe.

Prediction Time
Alpha
Atlantis Golden Wolves 11-3 - Yeah call it a homer pick but there is just enough versatility here to make Atlantis a tough out on offense and defense too much depth from the early start.

These Guys 11-3 (Wild Card) - I think it takes Hzachary1 a little while longer to get this one rolling especially with the later start at the failed experiment. Plus he's @ Atlantis early in the season and @ Gallic Legion.

Black Dragon Fight Club 9-5 - They really should smack someone for this divisional draw, I think they would take Gamma but this is a brutal early schedule Atlantis and These Guys plus road vs CPU (not what a new owner needs right off the bat) then smack into the Raiders.

Denver Dream 2-12 - This might seem harsh but also seem appropriate.

Beta
16th Gallic Legion 12-2 , Yeah I'm rusty but you seriously didn't expect me to pick against myself with a well organized team did you?

Las Vegas Raiders 10-4 , I'm buying the Raiders just not enough.

Utah Dogs 4-10, Enough CPU vs. CPU games here

Houston Fish 1-13 - A stat padding CPU gut job

Gamma
Oakland Minors 8-6 Someone has to win this division might as well be the guy with the almost full roster kinda sort even if he is anonymous

Huntsville Soulseekers 8-6 I can see some problems here especially early - @Minors, @Raiders and @These Guys in the 1st 5 games not a good recipe.

Los Angeles Bears 6-8 Seems like D-League for Cyber Ninja and others

Jacksonville Coyotes 1-13 why not?

Title Game Prediction: Atlantis Golden Hoplites vs. 16th Gallic Legion (Seriously did you expect me to pick anything else?)
