Windy's Betting Odds

League Champions
Blademasters             +400
Vindica                      +700
Team Redemption       +900
Squirtle Squad           +900
BONK                        +1000
Coronana                   +1500

here's my picks

mines pretty similar except I swapped Vindica and Bonk. Mainly because Vindica is really weak outside Matt and Jaxx

[Fartknocker]

Why am I not on there for most tks? I think I tied for first in like all the leagues smh

The league champions one also makes no since

You were next after Horse but I figured the people I put were enough and one of them would likely lead in TKs.

League champions odds are a crap-shoot initially. Redemption and Squirtle Squad easily have the most depth. If a player isn't available they can plug and play almost anyone on their roster and they can do quite well.

I think Blademasters is an interesting team. They have no clear 5th player IMO, although they don't really need to rely on anyone other than Yoshie and Cwater.

I have Coronanana high because they can play multiple styles and are gonna be the most annoying to face I think. Piktons and Anthony can autoblock while Yolo goes full aggressive. Don't sleep on ghostrider and amiranger. They are two really solid players. Winters and Kristine are also pretty damn good. I think they can compete for deepest roster in the league.

For Vindica I think our success is gonna depend on how everyone performs alongside of Jaax and MATT. Camden has actually come in and done very well. I have done a lot better than I thought I would also after taking months off of the game. Cytiuz has us doing some neat strats and I think the team will get better when it counts.

BONK is probably the weakest team on paper. Don't sleep on them either because I think anyone on that team can pop off. They play a pretty boring style but it can be effective against teams that tilt fairly easily.

wtf my style isn’t boring smh!

"Bruh" is the only suitable reaction for 95% of whatever fartknocker says.

I mean Vette is the most basic follower in swtor smh

You aren't boring but as a team its pretty basic. One wing just s keys. Oatmeal, Risk, and Godfreid are usually pretty boring to fight in a groupfight. I'm not saying it in a bad way it's just how it is to fight against. If it works, it works. I was in the 63e where we would shoot people on a damn hill for an hour.

"Bruh" is the only suitable reaction for 95% of whatever fartknocker says.

I'll take 5%.

But for real what am I saying that isn't true? I'd like a good ole FSE discussion.

I doing altitude training right now where I play with 440 ping on purpose so that when I come back down to reality I am twice the player

That's like saying people are homeless because they want to save for a house.

Anthony’s team is easily the worst. On paper and on actual performance

Blade masters easily has the best 3 player core with sanders yoshie and cwater (debatably 4 person core).

Vindica is actually Bonnel outside of Jaax and Matt. This team easily has the most questions. However from what I’ve seen from Magyar and Camden I’m not impressed

Bonk is better than last (I would put them around 3rd)

Redemption is probably 2nd, arguably 1st

Squirtle Squad is 4th

Idk why I did this all out of order

yall sleeping on squirtle squad

Can't speak to Anthony's teams performance. Only played them once I think (while I was there at least) and we won but they weren't bad. Idk how on paper they are the worst team. I honestly think they have the third deepest roster in the whole tournament talent-wise. Anthony, Piktons, and Yolo are all top level players. Ghostrider, amiranger, Winters, and Kristine are all good players.

I think it's fair to say Blademasters has a very good four player core. As I said I'm not sure who the fifth player will be. And also as I said, it doesn't really matter because the team is in a great spot with Cwater and Yoshie.

So with Vindica it is clear that Jaax and MATT are gonna have to play well if we want to win. I agree we have the most questions which is why I have us starting so low.

With BONK I think they have a couple great players in Godfreid and Horse. I think Oatmeal, Risk, and Shinto are good players. It's just that compared to the other teams I think their top talent is not as good compared to the rest of the league. And their bench has Jerry and James who don't always have the most reliable ping. I think Silence gets like 11 ping I'd like to see him play more. I don't think he even played when we scrimmed them.

We agree that Redemption is top 2. How can they not be with Russian and Waste. Plus their depth is crazy good.

Don't know how Squirtle Squad is only 4th in your eyes. They have Rune, Nickcole, Vetro, Fireboy, Theodin, and Pinoy. All those players would probably start on any other team. That is 6 solid starters. Only issues are personality problems maybe. Like if they lose a couple matches early I can see them falling apart. If they can't win matches with this lineup I think Theodin should be on the hot-seat as coach lmao.
