Granted, it would probably be hard to lose at this level with a roster that costs that much.

Finals Predictions

1. Monkeykid Maniacs vs 1. Mighty Moose Rockets

The most important part of any finals is the GS update on the Friday before G2. Obviously I can't predict that, but both teams seems solid at managing their GS, with no current major injuries, so I will just assume GS stays about where it is at for both teams. Monkeykid won the H2H matchup this season, but Mighty Moose Rockets played Gorocs out of position (though he still put up 40 pts at PG). MMR put up better defensive numbers, and they say defense wins championships. But Monkeykid Maniacs has HCA.

I expect this to be an entertaining series as Monkeykid Maniacs #1 scoring offense matches up against Mighty Moose Rockets #1 scoring defense. Either team is a key injury away from watching their championship dreams go up in smoke, but in the end I am a fan of defense and my pick is Mighty Moose Rockets in 3.

I'm just happy to have made it this far honestly. I didn't feel like my team dramatically improved from last season, so I'm shocked to be in the finals this time around.

I feel like game 1 will really set the tempo for the series. If we can win the first game, I have no doubt we'll win the whole series. If we drop the first game, then it's going to be a much greater struggle and I'd probably give it to MMR too at that point.

I will say that I don't think either one of us has seen the other team's full potential. We were likely both holding back in our regular season matchup and thus both have more tricks up our sleeves for this finals set. It'll come down to who has more/better tricks and can utilize them correctly, I think.

You had the 8th best record in all of D3 this season, that's a great accomplishment. Unfortunately 3 teams above you have already been eliminated from their leagues playoffs, and 2 of the teams above you are playing in the III.3 finals, so you've been eliminated from any shot at 1 of the 4 Auto-Promotion slots to D2.

All the more reason for you to win I guess

ok I think it's safe to say I've got this series unless something truly wild happens. It's been a great (and sometimes bumpy) ride. This will be my first time ever in II assuming I do in fact promote. I don't expect to be there for long, so who knows if I'll just be back here again soon? Then again, maybe I'll work something out if the revenue in high enough there that I can buy a better team. Best in one level is often bottom 4 in the next level up.
