Trying to be objective here but this is who I think are the top 5 teams:

>London
>Pacific Coast
>England
>Australia
>Toronto

.....with team Iberia coming in 7th or 8th I think.... :D


And the underdogs: (no offense to anyone)

>California
>West Europe : (
>Oklahoma
>Midwest Warriors
>San Diego

Now, this is a pretty early judgement so I could very well be wrong. The Top 5 have very prominent players and the underdogs have a chance to prove their worth. ; )

what the fuck? No Southern Europe in your predictions? That's just outrageous...

Btw, doesn't it make it a little bit of a parody that the teams of Midwest USA added warriors and monsters next to their names?
Why not just Midwest USA and Midwest USA II?
This isn't a baseball cup after all...

LJ...you are so fucking ignorant. You can't keep your ignorant stereotypes straight. You probably are so stupid to believe that the Ozarks run through Texas. The stereotype of incest is for areas with little migration or trade, you retard. I already told you that Californians are migrating by the hundreds of thousands to Texas. You have a bankrupt economy and if anyone is humping their cousins...it you Californians...and they are probably same sexed.

If you want to wager your motto vs our motto....I personally accept. If your motto is thinking about incestually Texans all day then I feel doubly sorry for you. Does your state have nothing it pride itself on?

Be fair, the *state* has a lot to pride itself on.
Never assume to have met an average citizen :)

Figle....I know it does. It's too bad LJ started this nonsense by coming to the Texas thread and bashing us. I have yet to hear anything constructive from him. I am up for a friendly wager or a down and dirty mud slingling fight.

Can't we all just get along?

C'mon Spell, you have to admit our cousins ARE prettier than theirs. Don't stoop to the level of the high schoolers anymore, please?

idt this trash talkign is neccessarily a bad thing makes the tourny interesting. lets jsut calm it down some and not talk about the cousins =)

Did anyone listen to what I said? sigh....

California is definitely an underdog.
We've only won a few games between us.

Not to take away anything from team Australia, after all they do have sean on board and all the team members are very good and I hope they kick arse, but Australia II also has some good players so watch out! In fact, I think our players average out better than the Australia players in both site rank and Ghost rating!

Unfortunately, looking at the London team, I think we may be in a lot of trouble!

Midwest is going to rock the World, baby! Oora!

@ Spell - You're right our state, which, if independant of the rest of the United States, would have the eighth largest economy in the world, has nothing to be proud of. Also, who goes on vacation to Texas? Last time I checked it was you rednecks who clog our cities every summer, not the other way around. And what was the last thing, besides racism, that Texas contributed to the US?

@ L1Star - Really? You're going to say that Texas has hotter girls than California? You must be on drugs.

"what the fuck? No Southern Europe in your predictions? That's just outrageous... "

I reckon your team is somewhere in the middle. : )

Madmarx and BESM make up a very impressive team by themselves!

so how is that toronto sub coming i'd liek to get this show on the road

Couldn't we just start now and that game wait for him? After all, its unlikely the games will finish at the same time anyway. At least we can start collecting in the games.

Reminder to other players - I don't know quite what the rules say on the issue if you can't, but:
REMEMBER TO SET ASIDE POINTS FOR THE BUY-IN!

how much will it be?
And London are clear favourites

Yeh, so you can all pay triple :D

well... I don't think that's how it works.
Is it just 5 ?

5 for everyone else 500 for london =p

besm isn't that impressive...

I believe taking anyone too lightly in this contest would be a mistake; especially the midwest teams:)

Well BESM and hellalt are bitter enemies from a previous game...

Well I wouldn't call me an enemy but surely not impressive as well.

*call him

wow BESM and Madmarx that should be an interesting team to watch. i doubt they'll get very far ;)

i sort of know what you are saying hellalt, but he is pretty damn good
