If you in case missed my official PRs, here are my (more analytical) thoughts :
8th - Phantom Troupe - Fragments got off to a bad start in the gpool section ; only getting a couple of underwhelming picks. The latter half for him started off great, but in the end, gets bogged down by teams just having effectual better teams and a better structure than this. I'm least confident in this team making playoffs, but hopefully they can surprise us with upsets.

7th - Pangoros : Having a big budget towards the middle part when teams are low on money was advantageous for Jordy, but looking at their team structure in general, it feels kind of mid. Yes, you got some MVP players in there, things just kinda get weaker after the late game selection or so, with a better cohesion, this might make playoffs way more than 8th but it's the least i can say. Hopefully its not too middling, but from what i can tell, this is mid.

6th - Skeledirges : Frixel and Ninja started off hot by getting GOOD starter options, and they ended the draft on kinda a high note. But i feel like this is a team that could turn heads if given their way, individually they work fine, but as a team, I'm not so sure. Hopefully I see a better development for this team as the weeks go on.

5th - Articunos : POAT and crying clearly know what they are doing by drafting this kinda team. A good mix of really underrated players and more established veterans taking the mantle of a good solid team. This year feels reachable for what options they have, but it's gonna be a hard climb against the top 4. We'll just see how it goes.

4th - Dracovishes : Unpredictable, that's all I'll say. Most players are VERY good, and some of them can def hold their own against the strongest players in this pool. This is a team i've been eyeing on all draft as a team that will go head on with Articunos for the final playoff spot, I just feel more confident with this than Articunos is rn.

3rd - Rufflets : Raj really hopping into the Indian community and seeing who are the biggest chads there and drafting a team based on it. This is the 1st team i'm confident in making playoffs and you couldn't really argue against it when you got BIG and underappreciated names that i've hyped before in the tier list video. I can't wait to see this team perform successfully.

2nd - Iron Bundles : Roxie may have had internet issues during the draft, but I can't help the fact that they and Chait made such an AWESOME draft. Most of these players, I rank heavily upon as some of the unsung goats, and I'm looking forward to how the team progresses, like this is a championship winning team if they just have the best weeks.

1st - Snorlaxes : What else can you really say, Trace and ESM have always drafted some historically great teams that puts their cred up as the most successful BLT team ever. With 2 wins under their belt, the defending champions have such a good draft in the middle (24k Star and 23.5 Xiri??). This is a team i'm definitely expecting to make playoffs, and even though the endgame was questionable at best, and scuffed at worst, I have high hopes that this team will go far with very good records under their belt.
