Well now that all the franchising has been done, the next phase is to wait for the draft, one week from today.&nbsp; Be there or be a quadrilateral which contains four sides of equal length and four 90 degree angles.&nbsp; Some alliances came as no surprise, such as [b]Nostar/Potent[/b] and [b]Xenaero/Doomguy666[/b], and even [b]Ralphis[/b] signing[b] Oath[/b].&nbsp; Others seem like matches most people didnt see coming, including [b]Sabertooth[/b] picking up [b]Caboose[/b] (okay that was announced 2 days after invites came out, but still...) and [b]Tai[/b] tapping [b]METALBLACK[/b].&nbsp; [b]HumanBones[/b] and [b]midian[/b] recreated a team seen back in the TDMania league (Remember that?) while past IDL MVP and the only player to lead a perfect regular season, [b] Chaindude[/b], goes into the draft with double masterbowl winner [b]Whiteboy567[/b].&nbsp; That team looks like a front runner already even before the teams are complete.&nbsp; But just moments ago, [b]Killingblair [/b]got the Okay from [b]JKist3[/b], making up our final dynamic duo as the draft comes closer and closer.&nbsp; What will happen with them, those events will unfold soon enough.<br /><br />Now how will the draft lay out? Household names like [b]RottKing, Fastidious, Shakal,[/b] and [b]Nautilus[/b], four tough players who have each seen at least one MasterBowl in their days may not have gotten franchised, but they seem primed and ready to get picked up relatively early in the draft.&nbsp; [b]_Cookies_[/b] is preparing for a triumphant return after taking a summer vacation.[b]&nbsp; ItallionStallion[/b] made a showy debut in the latter half of last season, alongside seasoned veteran [b]Mantis-X[/b].&nbsp; And [b]mikehail [/b]has hopes and dreams to make it back into the playoffs again, something he hasnt done since the Summer of 2007.&nbsp; These 8 players are my personal predictions of the first round draftees. (In no particular order)<br /><br />The second round of draft is where it gets rather vague.&nbsp; Who gets in and who doesnt all will depend on where the randomizer falls and who gets those later picks.&nbsp; But I expect names like [b]Anger, Goatface, Ladna, DeathBringer, Gilgamesh, Kyte, niv [/b]and myself ([b]MionicDonut[/b]) to get thrown around somewhere in the mix.&nbsp; But all that can be cast astray by personal preferences or otherwise.&nbsp; Which brings me to the next set of names... <br /><br />But the real Jokers in this deck are the newcomers to the league.&nbsp; These include the likes of [b]Jenova, JWarrier, RussianDumbass[/b] and nearly a half dozen more.&nbsp; And who can forget our friends across the Atlantic.&nbsp; [b]Nero, Mortalogy, Dewww[/b] and [b]Devisin[/b] are a fearsome foursome of European doomers, and one or more of the captains may be looking for an overseas investment.&nbsp; So tune in next Monday, December 15th @ 10:00 PM Eastern Time to see who will go where.
