Asmo's PERFECT Pre-season Predictions
Posted: 20 May 2013, 00:58
1) TMNT - Kowabunga! Enough said.
2) Agents - Possibly the strongest team on paper now that they GoB has lost Tirri. Agents have a roster without a weak link from top to bottom and everyone on their team is relatively active. This bodes very well for them and a finals appearance should be expected.
3) Tcox - If Tcox can add one more solid 4 ball player this team could be a dark horse to get into the finals. If Tcox can show up fro matches with their better players than they have the smarts and BC ability to compete with any team in this tournament. I expect a bounce back year from Tcox after a disappointing finish in MWC 12.
4) GoB - GoB went from being favorites going into MWC to maybe a team that won't even make the Bottom Bracket finals now. They managed to lose Tirri before the tournament even started and I am already hearing the pre-excuses pile up from certain members of this team before even playing their first game. This does not bode well for them.
5) Zomg - Zomg is a pretty solid team but they do not have enough top talent. If Zomg wants to make a run at the top four they will need to one more heavi hitter to take secondary power units in supporting ghengis. It would be interesting to see if Ducky plays with this team with considering his connections with people on this team. I think Ducky could be very solid for this team and a more BC oriented role.
6) Devil's Rejects - There is a very apparent weakness in this team. They are pretty top heavy but than you look at the depth of this roster and realize they can only field a potential of 5 players that most good team could trust with units. Maybe Gekko can work some magic for this team if he captains if not I'm afraid that their role players will not matchup well vs role players from other top teams.
7) WTC - It was really hard for me to NOT put WTC at 5th place with some of the top notch BCers they have on their team and considering that they are potentially the most active team in this tournament going into MWC. Unfortunately when I look at this roster I just don't see the "Myth Smarts" necessary to win consistently in a tournament setting where most every team is competitive. Maybe if they get a very good captain that can bring the pieces on this team together they could surprise some folks.
8) Deer - Deer is actually a team that has been improving in recent years, unfortunately the salary cap system didn't work out and actually discouraged the lower tier teams from signing up. For Deer's sake I hope a few more low tier teams sign up in the next week so they are not the punching bag of MWC 13.
2) Agents - Possibly the strongest team on paper now that they GoB has lost Tirri. Agents have a roster without a weak link from top to bottom and everyone on their team is relatively active. This bodes very well for them and a finals appearance should be expected.
