Speculative Draft<br /><br />Franchises/Pre 1st Round Picks<br /><br />SPE(Denny)&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; - Bones<br />EBL(Xen)&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; - Mid<br />BSK(Shakal)&nbsp; &nbsp;  - Cha0tix<br />BBC(Mantis)&nbsp; &nbsp;  - Stallion<br />SUC(Ralphis)&nbsp; &nbsp; - Nostar<br /><br />[b]FLS(Ladna)&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;  - Whiteboy567[/b]&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; I think Whiteboy was trying to hold out for a franchise or maybe to get on SPE but he is too good for Ladna to pass up.&nbsp; Not a bad move for either party.<br /><br />[b]DMR(Doomguy) - Rottking[/b]&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;  Doomguy has been away for a while, and this can only hurt his chances.&nbsp; I think he will end up picking a big UD name like Rott, even though Rott hasn&#039;t been playing much lately.&nbsp; At least he isn&#039;t inactive, he posts odd youtube videos in IRC all day.<br /><br />[b]KGB(Tai)&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;  - Collision[/b]&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Collision is in R(I think) and Tai has been playing more scrims with them than priv.&nbsp; Collision is a great fragger and added with Tai they&#039;ll just need some offense.<br /><br />Round 1<br /><br />[b]SPE - Mikehail[/b]&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;  Denny and Bones are a great team already, which would be complete with an offensive player like mike or oath.<br /><br />[b]FLS - METALBLACK[/b]&nbsp; &nbsp;  MB is kind of an X Factor, he doesn&#039;t show up much preseason but when it starts he is solid.&nbsp; Whether this will continue is unknown but combined with Ladna and Whiteboy, he would make FLS a great team.<br /><br />[b]DMR - Oath[/b]&nbsp;  Again I think DG is going to end up picking players he knows, and oath is a great runner which could provide some offense to frag heavy DG and Rott.<br /><br />[b]KGB - Killingblair[/b]&nbsp; &nbsp;  Killingblair has had an interesting IDL history.&nbsp; Starting in season 1 he joined Strickland Propane and [s]led them to fame and glory[/s] helped them win one match against the Spread Eagles and a 3v2 against Team Discovery Channel.&nbsp; After that it&#039;s a mixed bag and we&#039;ll see if how he does this season.&nbsp; Also he would be a good offensive addition to Tai&#039;s team.<br /><br />[b]EBL - Jenova[/b]&nbsp; &nbsp;  Sources tell me Xen and Jen don&#039;t always see eye to eye.&nbsp; But DD has never been known to be petty.&nbsp; He&#039;ll pick Jenova for some offensive power to add to the defensive lineup of Xen and Mid.<br /><br />[b]BSK - Fastidious[/b]&nbsp; &nbsp;  Before cha0tix entered the picture, I thought Shakal was going to franchise Whiteboy and then pick up Fast for a Season 5 DMR reunion.&nbsp; Now I don&#039;t know, but Fast, despite his issues, is a solid fragger and smart player.<br /><br />[b]BBC - Gyross[/b]&nbsp; &nbsp;  Common pattern seems to be teams needing offense, and this is no exception.&nbsp; Mantis and Stallion are great fraggers, a sneaky runner like Gyross would be a nice addition.&nbsp; He&#039;s European, but hey, nobody&#039;s perfect.<br /><br />[b]SUC - Devastation[/b]&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; I can&#039;t help but shake the feeling that Nostar has been grooming Devastation to be the most underrated CTF player ever.&nbsp; More likely he won&#039;t get picked but I wasn&#039;t sure where to put him/whom to put here.&nbsp; DooMGod status questionable, but he&#039;s a great placeholder.<br /><br /><br />Round 2-&nbsp; If the draft order goes as I have it up to this point that would be incredible, but more likely it will be way different. Round 2 is going to be a mixture of who&#039;s available, what captains like which players and who needs a good reserve.&nbsp; Most of these players are in interchangeable positions.<br /><br />[b]SPE - Goatface[/b]&nbsp; &nbsp;  I&#039;m the best ever but for some reason all these people will get picked before me.<br /><br />[b]FLS - Nero[/b]&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Coming off of a spotty at best season as captain of the Spread Eagles, Nero re-enters the league and hopes to build some credibility in the IDL.&nbsp; He&#039;s a solid player but ping/time difference could be an issue.&nbsp; An FLS team of Ladna, Whiteboy and METALBLACK is pretty versatile, and Nero is another well rounded player who could finish out the lineup.<br /><br />[b]DMR - Dragan[/b]&nbsp; &nbsp;  Dragan and DG are brothers, so I suspect this is where Dragan will end up.&nbsp; Doomguy, Rottking, Oath and Dragan sounds pretty formidable, though in practice it could be something very different.<br /><br />[b]KGB - Beast[/b]&nbsp; &nbsp;  Beast may not be the biggest fan of grammar, but he&#039;s a solid player and he and Tai have a good history together.&nbsp; Pretty positive this is where he&#039;ll end up.<br /><br />[b]EBL - Dewww[/b]&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; IDK, Dewww is a decent runner and if Jenova doesn&#039;t pan out, could provide some offensive talent for EBL.<br /><br />[b]BSK - Rosebird[/b]&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;  Shak and Cha0 both work well with Rose, so I suspect Shak will try and get her.&nbsp; She&#039;s pretty good but again, euros are at a disadvantage.<br /><br />[b]BBC - Acolyte[/b]&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Acolyte is not the greatest player, but in my experience he&#039;s dedicated and he learns fairly quickly.&nbsp; Tell him what to do and he&#039;ll do it.&nbsp; A good addition to any team but I see him going late in the draft.<br /><br />[b]SUC - Roscoe[/b]&nbsp; &nbsp;  Ralphis likes to pick new players every season, so far he has Nostar but hey, maybe he&#039;ll want a completely different lineup.&nbsp; Roscoe has shown great improvements and he&#039;s a stand-up guy, though attendance could be an issue.
