Game Preview: This game is two World League teams that have some history against each other. They are both Inaugural World League teams that for the past two seasons have been placed in the same conference. In the first season TKW beat MoD formally known as Drinkin Hellraisers in the regular season but they did not meat up in the playoffs where Drinkin would lose in the conference championship game. Last season they were in the same division again. During that season Three Kingdom clinched the playoffs as the #1 seed while Drinkin would by the grace of the dotGods clinch the #8 seed by the loss of a few teams in week 16. During the regular season TKW had their way with Drinkin by beating them 40 - 10. The first round of the playoffs were no different. TKW took it to Drinkin by winning 46 - 7. Due to decline, Drinkin decided to hang their cleats up and a new organization came in as Ministry of Dotball. The losses by Drinkin were not forgotten by Ministry and they were practicing intensely this last week to gear up at a chance to get their chance at revenge. Currently MoD is 12-0 in the Zeta Conference while TKW is 10-2 in the Alpha Conference by dropping a game against teh Chocolate Blaze 30-12 and losing the Halifax by 37-22. Offensively it seems that TKW have the edge on MoD by scoring more points 61.8 - 53.2 per game. But upon further review it you were to take the lolgut game out of the equation, MoD would have the better producing offense by scoring 53.2 to TKW 44.27 points per game. Defensively TKW edges MoD by only allowing 10.8 points per game to MoD's 12.5. On paper this game seems like a very close matchup that will pit two very good defensive teams against highly efficient offenses. lolbars show that TKW has the edge in Receiving 60-63 but other than that... its all equal. Who wins this battle of innagural World League teams? My prediction is that MoD pulls out the win 28 - 17.

Game Preview: The first matchup between these two teams took place in Season 11 where the Blaze beat Valhalla in convincing fashion 63-15. Last season the Blaze were in the world league but not as the Chocolate Blaze but rather New Jersey Blaze. This offseason they decided to join PT and convert to the Chocolate Blaze. The same story can be said by Valhalla, but this was not their choice. Previous seasons they were known as Valhalla but a ninja edit from Bort converted them to Valhalla . This infuriated Valhalla and they vowed in their first season of the World League they would take revenge and go 20-0. They are well on their path, but the Blaze stand in their path. This tournament game will be also played as their regular season game. They are both currently 12 - 0 in the Alpha Conference of the World League. This game determines who has the dream of going 20-0. Loser, granted still can win the league, but can not claim the perfect season. Both teams have had the privileged to play the lolgut team so their stats will not be adjusted accordingly for comparison. The Blaze edge out Valhalla on offense by scoring more points per game 85.3 - 81.3. Though Blaze might be a slightly higher scoring team Valhalla edges the Blaze in points per game allowed 3.9 - 5.7. The biggest difference between these two teams is that Valhalla is a passing showcase and the Blaze are a rushing juggernaut. Experts say defense wins championships, and a team that can control the ground game will more than likely pull out the win. This game is the matchup I have been waiting for as there is no possible way to honestly guage a real prediction. So I will throw some numbers out there and say 21-20. As I flip the coin, I have Valhalla pulling out the upset in the 4th.
