ALPHA:

Seeds

1) Doofenshmirtz Evil Incorporated - Good chem plus a strong team returning from last season = yikes.
2) Gridiron Body Count - you know when they actually try they are pretty good
3) Lolol Roflmaoers - besides needing a better team name i got nothing else to say
4) Kraków Kryptonite - these jokers from SEAPL may be too occupied with their sluggish Wu WL campaign, but once Wu fails in WL they will turn their attention back to here and become a force to be reckoned with
5) Arkadak Ratels - always strong, always solid but chem will hurt them increasingly becoming the BSS of Alpha! Oh yea I went their. Sure im gonna hear bout this one!
6) Tyrrhenian Sea Wasps - Back off a disappointing 8-8 season the Wasps will put the sting back into their bite. Move over the Wasps be a swarming!
7) Athens Odyssey - All grown up from last season, Odyssey will begin on a new journey and become a team in Alpha to be feared!
8) Stewart's Black Hand Ballers - If kanaan can keep his interest id rank em higher but from his posts last season the Ball in Ballers may soon be deflated. Never underestimate you may not know when the Black Hand will backhand you!


ZETA:

Seeds

1) Dharma Initiatives - Overconfident last season and didnt man up against Manilla. These guys are firece and coming with 100 chem. Look out Zeta get ready to get curbstomped!
2) Krakow Ice Dragons - Horrbile chem kept them from the #1 spot, and besides they cant decide if they want to be here or WL always flipping back and forth. When they are in EEPL it usually = 14+ wins.
3) Kosovo Kryptonite - always a strong team, but never seem to pull through in the Playoffs with BSS out of the way is their Kryptonite now gone???
4) Manila Gorillas - will forever be known as the Bill Buckner of EEPL, letting BSS slip past them and breaking the EEPL curse. Cmon fellas we will never forget! RIP BSS curse...another 20 seasons!
5) The Capetown Cubicles Strike Back - 100 chem but you never know when they are running basic AI and when they are trying, very hard to predict so i figured #5 was a safe slot!
6) Spartan Warriors - A surprise last season and have a majority of their team returning. Only good enough to move up 1 spot from last season, but hey you never know.
7) Holland Pinoy All Stars - A disappointing S26 for the All Stars has lead to a shuffle in the roster poor chem to start will only create a mountain to climb. But when Dino is 100% chem look out.
8) Glass City Fightn' Thundercats - So i may be a little biased here so what. Crappy EL so what. Zeta is much weaker than Alpha and someone has to claim the #8 seed. And ill be damned if i let BSS or the Evil Empire take it. A strong battle for the #8 seed in Zeta to see who gets a trip home first round at the hand of Dharma. Wow I feel honored!

BSS of Alpha...ouch. If the shoe fits I suppose...

We have re-tooled and added some pieces to the offense and with Rage and the D I predict a much better showing this year.

Yeah, I noticed the same issue for Black Hand and Arkadak as well. I hope they can find what they need to be competitive.

To be honest, Dharma hasn't won a regular season trophy in ages. I honestly don't care to go WL because I know I'm not good enough to play there and win, so there isn't much incentive to try to win in the playoffs.

If I get there by accident, I'm going to need to either man up and start using some of my connections to secure some roster upgrades and some better quality O and DCing, or do a bunch of extra work myself.

My team is good, but I still need a major overhaul at some positions if I am going to be comepetive in the WL.

I lost to MG last season mostly because my LT kept letting their RE get the sack before my players could get open. Their DEs combined for 7 of the 8 sacks that game and their DTs combined for 6 of the 8 hurries in that game. My running game was generally non-existent last season because my FB is too fast and leaves the HB to fend for himself and my O-line doesn't open any holes to run through up the gut.

I built a pretty good team considering that I was planning them to all be (edit) Pee Wee one and done's, but as a result there are lots of places where my team is going to lose those one on one battles versus truly elite dots.

Also I'm too lazy/busy/incompetent to make a better set of Custom D plays, so teams that really gameplan against me AND can win those one-on-one battles are going to beat me 7/10 times (because sometimes I can get a lucky sim).

Pretty fair and accurate description here. Probably the best regular season OAI I've ever played against, but it's pretty obvious you haven't put the work in for the playoffs in a while.
