Escalate's prediction thread

[Ivan]

Here's the question - Are there will be 10 games this season? or 15 games? (So each squad allows to play every squad for at least once)

[Luckily Yours]

well uor theory falls down the whole if the playoffs are not cross conference, and i think they shouldnt be, it should be like NBA, 1st each conference has its own playoffs and then the 2 best play each others, just like last season in TWL

[Zerzera]

I think Avalonian will win, they have Pascone

[Slicer666]

Pascone is my hero, without Pascone incuria would not be, without Pascone I would not be a baser I would be in weasel annoying terrs in pubs, and the funny fact is, Pascone has never even spoke with me >:P

[RATTY...]

Nice prediction Escalate , although Diso is a bit overrated, and wont make it to the quarter finals, and Melee wont get 1-9 (0-10).
Everything else is just perfect.

i disagree here. you compete against the teams in your conference the entire season, i think by playoff time it should be time to test yourself against the best in the other conference. part of the reasons why the NBA does it the way they do it are geographic. they actually DO have a "western" and "eastern" conference that are geographically different....this saves the teams from having to fly back and forth from coast to coast (the US is a pretty big country) during each round of the playoffs. obviously subspace does not have this geographic issue, and allowing the teams to have the greatest variety of competition should be the goal.

by the time playoffs come around, the #1 team in conference 1 has already beaten (or atleast bested in the standings) the #4 team from their own conference. im sure it would be more entertaining for everyone involved for that team to play the #4 team from the other conference, whom theyve probably not faced yet.

another problem with non-cross conference playoffs is that if one conference is way stronger than the other, then the best games of the playoffs are likely to be in the first couple rounds and the finals would be a mediocre game. this happens often in the NBA where the best series is the western conference finals. one of the ideas is to have the best teams meet in the finals.

[Luckily Yours]

if u sepparate conferences well, u wont have wat happens in the NBA.

[Nickname]

In the NBA though teams are always the same, and tgheres more games per season.

In twl you only play squads once, and all the teams change from season to season (i mean, we only had 2 carryover - thats brutally bad)

[Cig Smoke]

U also have in the NBA the Western conference playoffs which are Lakers, spurs, kings, Timberwolvs all who are very good and probably bettert hen the #1 seed in the east. Like someone said above The real NBA championship game will be 2 of these squads in the Western Conference finals. The championship game between east/west will probably suck and wont liv up to the Western finals. So i think u cross conference playoffs to. Seed 1-8 and go from there.

[Ekko]

Ok Ava isn't the greatest wbs but we will get at least 2 wins because the way we see it our wins will be vs Melee, Verone, Ancients, Pirates so lets hope we will be put in a conference vs them also Ava can most likely hold their own vs BS and Rapid with Ava's VERY best on... we may pull 1 upset but I doubt it... Next year we will kick ass and make twlb

[Sleepy Weasel]

cross conference playoffs are like 10,000 times better than non cross conference playoffs. It ensures the best 2 teams make finals, and isn't that what we want?

[PaulOakenfold]

We want Pallies Vs Diso.... is that what you're asking?

[Lews Therin]

This would probably be more accurate for the regular season TWLD

Conference 1:
1. -Final- 10-0
2. Grapevine 8-2
3. Shriek 7-3
4. Pirates 5-5
5. Dragonguard 5-5
6. Rapid 3-7
7. British Squad 2-8
8. Verone 0-10

Conference 2:
1. Syndicate 10-0
2. Pallies 9-1
3. Disoblige 7-3
4. Sk8 5-5
5. Egyptian 4-6
6. Ancients 3-7
7. Avalonian 2-8
8. Melee 0-10

Changes:
Shriek loses to -f-, gv, and a top 3 of conf 2
Egypt loses to sk8, gets wins from 3 below and lower conf 1
Pirates > Rapid
Melee beats noone
Ava beats melee and verone :P

And cross-conf playoffs are the way to go.

[Ekko]

-Final- being overestimated?:P

[Violence]

the only time pirates has beat us in wb was when we have had atleast 2 javs in. whenever we have 4 wbs even if they are the worst on rapid we still win.

and ekko, if u believe you are going to upset rapid u are retarded. im not gonna say anything else except that all of u who predict rapid to be sub 500 r retards.
