if a few more people would have dropped their insecurities and or desire for a vanity plate next to their name in TWD, a lot of squads (Penetrate, Paladen, Syne) could have competed at a higher level -- when we had our top 5 or 6 people show up we should give Fierce/Pandora a run for their money, when not -- we got blown out of the water by Asians/Freebie.
Syne showed how good they can be late in the season killing Freebies playoff hopes -- but also how bad the exact same squad can be without enough depth (losing to Paladen). With 4-5 extra birds on a few of the lower squads I think there would have been an even fiercer competition for the playoffs.
That said, I thought this season was competitive -- With only 2 weeks left every squad except Syne and Penetrate had a chance at making the playoffs, there wasnt a single drop-out and everyone showed 5.
Moreover, alot of new talented people emerged and some of the best players (Peru/Myth/Beam) were not on any of the "powerhouse" teams. Asians became a huge surprise and had a great season, Savanger pulled late, Syne had that great final game to oust Freebie, Paladen almost beat Fierce, Sk8 got demolished week 9 after doing the same to Sweet, etc.
