So, three weeks in and we've already experienced our first 'real' casualty. You'd figure with a team full of medical 'professionals' Oz would have been able to stop the bleeding, bandage the wound, and keep going. Alas, Lord Nuffle has claimed another skull for his throne. Good luck, DocOz. Now... if any of you gents know of a deserving coach whom wishes to try their luck in this division (and who's team meets the requirements for entry), please have them PM me or Joe (autismawareness) for acceptance. This week, however, it looks like Coach Astoner and his Snow Cats get a bye.
And also, please let me take a moment to introduce you all to a good friend and new co-administrator for Iron Crown League: Joe (autismawareness). He is IP's newest admin and will assist me in running the league. If you have any issues, Joe is well-equipped to handle most anything that will come up. He is also US-based. GMT-7 and currently Pacific Daylight Time.
Ok, with all that out of the way, let's get to business, shall we?
The week will roll next Wednesday, 03 June around 1900 GMT-7. Please continue to upload to BBM.
CJ tips right from last week Havol 2 CJ 1
THE MATCHES:
Gorland Harbingers v Slinky Jack's All Stars
Tough lineup for Coach Gorbag. Hope he learned a thing or two from last weeks match versus the Banana Warriors. There's no respite as he's squared off against an equally efficient team in Slinky Jack's All Stars. Coach Insidious and his All Stars are definitely fresh after last weeks bye. With their sights firmly set on maintaining their position in the standings, they will give no quarter.
PREDICTION:
Hmm... Same basic matchup. Insidious will give up exactly 150k in induce. Gorbag has all his players healthy and ready for the bash. For me, it depends on how effective the inducemets are. Either a bribe and babes or a wiz for me. I don't think it will change the outcome, however. 1-0 for the All Stars in a brawl!!
CJ damn didn't get my tip in
Crimson Crosses v The Snow Cats
Match will be adminned to give Astoner the 2-0 win.
The Utopian Unicorns v Mad Hatterzz
MATCH PLAYED 2-0 for the Unicorns. (for the record I would have thought a 2-1 result was more accurate)
CJ and i would have said 7-0 win for me
Vengeance of Khorne v Moar Dakka!
King Billy is really turning out to be the HUUUGE pain-in-the-ass the games developers had hoped the BT would be when they created this team. I mean, what is it with Hudd always having a very effective killer on his team? Geez... some guys, right?!
Though Coach Wenteros and his greenskins have given up TV in every match so far thru two seasons, they have certainly made it know that they are something to be reckoned with! Are they enough to tussle with King Billy??
PREDICTION:
Yes, Hudd and his 'zerkers can cut some TV, but I don't know if he'll be able to cut enough to still field a properly fearsome bunch. Wenteros will be down a BO for this match, but he can possibly take advantage by picking up Ripper. Is it worth it?! After the dust clears, I think this will go into the books as a 1-1 draw.
CJ though Ripper wont ever go stupid i think if vrag is available i would go with him, but what ever he gets wont be enough as not enough guard to ruing all that frenzy, hudd wins 2-1
The Mighty Borf v Dead Man's Shoes
No team has had more shitty luck this season than Manco's Borf. I will hope to continue the streak this week as they host my DMS. Weighing in at even TV, it'll be up to Nuffle to stay out of this match to give everyone a fair shake. With a win, Manco climbs right back into the race for the playoffs. A loss just helps to seal his demise.
PREDICTION:
Hard to see how this will play out, as last time these teams played, I stole a victory during a definite nuffling. I see the pendulum swinging the other way in this one. A few key early casualties will swoon things for the Mighty Borf. 1-0 for Coach Manco.
CJ missed my pic damn
Neorromanticos v Banana Warriors
How is it possible that the reigning champion is the TV underdog here? It's not like the Banana Warriors are carrying a bloated squad or anything. At any rate, each team boasts an equal record and will look to bump their position in the standings. Oh... and sorry about not being able to get Wollack out of the match for you, PN. Between scheduling snafu's and work, our match was unable to get played.
PREDICTION:
The champions will be tough to beat, especially with inducement money for them to spend. I see Coach hirumazeo using this to drop the hammer on PN and his Warriors. But Rama and Slip will surely not go down without a fight! 2-2 draw.
CJ 2-1 hirumazeo if game gets played that is
Well, gents. That's all I can muster this week. Enjoy your matches!
