While we in Seattle are disappointed by the loss, we're not going to run around blaming only the sim. Good builds and good tactics will overcome sim vagaries most of the time. We were missing something, either in tactics or builds. We knew it would be a totally different game from the regular season when we saw Minnie boost. They have done a hell of a job building their team. As much as people have poo-poo'ed scouting bars since the inception of GLB, I think they do need to be taken more seriously now. Most teams know how to build players now, and the scouting bars are becoming a better indicator of the ability of a team. Especially when that team consists of well prepped slow-build players like Minnie.
For our part, we're very pleased with our season. It was only a few seasons ago that we were a gutted team with few prospects for success, in the hands of a new owner, and looking at a long road of losing seasons before even thinking about the playoffs. I think a 16-0 record during the regular season from a team that was gutted - just what, three seasons ago? - is respectable. Hats off to the Masterminds for doing a fantastic job. And if they win the championship, that may assuage our pain a bit - knowing that at least we lost to the best team in the playoffs. Now we take the lessons learned this season and apply them to next.
