Tha Thursday Poll: Who's Gonna Win Malaga?

[sjt19]

I know that Ben, but thats not what the poll asks, and even so, surely even a loose grip on reality would make someone aware that even if Jax are their favourite team, they are not gonna win in malaga.

Crazzy--> yes it has

I would agree that that could apply to one particular game. Liek soccer or American Football. But to get lucky in the three games in the quarters, and then 2 in the first best of three, then 2 in the second best of three, thats a huge amount of luck! Winning 7 games is not probable if you do not have the talent that the likes of Dynasty, Lanche etc... all have in abundance.

The "any given sunday" comment does not apply here. It may do in each individual game, but not for a whole event, or 7 games on a sunday

And lemme ask you a question Sam? Are you playing for Shock at tha event?

 

[sjt19]

Nope, but i imagine your question was gonna be along the lines of

"How can you attend an avent you dont seriously believe yo are gonna win?"

Luck is a factor, sure, but there are sooo many others, which is what makes Paintball interesting...think travel, jetlag, alcohol, paint choice, field reading, dodgy guns, poor calls, lucky shots, inter team arguments, injuries, 7 players all gelling and happening to have tha sundays of their lives at tha same time...Any Given Sunday always applies duder, always.

i understand that Teej, i just do not think that you can win an event on it. Maybe getting a good placing is viable, but not walking off with 1st place.

You are relying on teams that would normally beat you all having a bad day/game/you being lucky against each of them. Its just too far odds to be realistic

Again, thass tha beauty of sport...whoda thought GZ could come to Euroland and lose every single game? Whoda thought Naughty Dogs would miss the semis at Vegas? How did XSV go from a ****ty 14th to multiple 2nds?

Never write tha underdog off, TJ Rule #1.

something i ihave always wondered, why do people vote for teams like Jaxonville and Nexus to win? Its not that they arent good teams, but compared to the likes of Arsenal, XSV, Lanche Entourage they dont really have a chance of winning.

Please dont take this as a "he hates nexus, or Jax" post, because it isnt, As i am sure those guys will know.

It just makes me curious as to why people vote for teams/players in a poll of the best in the world, when they clearly are not/do not stand a chance or winning the event.

I am sure that in a few days, this thread will have polled results for more teams in the thread, but surely its just a dream to expect them to win?

The NPPL has been a battle between Dynasty, XSV, Arsenal, Lanche and Infamous all season. With the Dogs, Entourage and Sedition the only teams to make finals all year other than the above 5 teams. Thats a fairly awesome achievement.

I would bet that the top 4 at this event will have Avalanche, Entourage (Dynasty 1st team players), , Arsenal and XSV.

jax is my fav team and they will win

so there

What surprises me is that no one seems to be in least concerned about the notion DynaKids can shuffle their roster anyway they want and that's apparently OK.
Sam's all hot and bothered about Pros being "meaningful" but where else in professional sports can players jump between teams at their whim?
Is PP and the NPPL really gonna allow that to happen?
