Right now, in IV.55, it's shaping up so that the real contenders are the 1st, 4th, and 5th seeds in my conference. Whoever wins the the 1st playoff game between the 1st seed and the eventual 4th seed should be able to comfortably PON the 2nd round opponent, as well as sweeping the Finals. 4th and 5th seeds are battling for that last playoff spot.
Nobodies really gone heavy into the arena in my league, the most amount of money spent is I think around 600k.
Nobody in my conference seems to really be doing serious training with long term prospects. Except myself.
I'm currently the 2nd seed, but seriously doubt I have a shot to promote. Started building up my roster for next season, so we'll see what D.IV realignment brings us.
