1: (+3) big hot gaming

3: (+3) So we have the Stampede, Dragons, Blizzard, Rage, Panthers, Steelhawks, Monarchs, Wolfpack, Pride, Barracuda, Renegades, North Stars, Platoon, Aurora, Syndicate, Specters, Argonauts, and Inferno. The first ones eliminated would be the Monarchs, the Blizzard, and the Barracuda. Monarchs are generally not really fighters they are rulers, and there are no rules in the SHL Battle Royale. Blizzard? Snow is gonna melt here with the Inferno and Dragons here. Barracuda? Fish don't fight, garbage team. I am gonna disqualify the Specters cause they are ghosts, ghosts are already dead so that's cheating. The Rage and Stampede cancel each other out cause they're basically the same thing so they're out. I looked up what an Argonaut was and apparently it is a squid and that is dumb so they're done. The Aurora are just lights and I don't know what to do with that information? The North Stars resemble the Maple Leafs too much to win anything, so they're done. We have the Dragons, Panthers, Steelhawks, Wolfpack, Pride, Renegades, Platoon, Syndicate, and Inferno remaining. I believe the most likely scenario here is that the Dragons and Inferno team up and combine to form a big fire breathing monster that burns everybody else, leaving just those two. The phoenix in the Inferno logo and the Dragons logo charge headfirst at each other and kill each other, but the Phoenix rises from the ashes to claim the S59 Challenge Cup.

12A: (+1) Buffalo definitely has more offensive firepower than Texas. Buffalo scored 33 more goals in the regular season than Texas, Texas' highest scoring player was Alexander Wachter/Andreas Kveaheim, each with 71 points. Buffalo had 3 different players finish with higher goal totals than this. Aron Hernadivic with 93 points, Matt Kholin with 81, and Monkey D. Luffy with 77. Texas has the superior defense, but Buffalo has the superior offense. It will be intriguing to see how this plays out in this series (that has already concluded at the time of writing this)

12B: (+1) Buffalo has a way bigger chip on their shoulder. Coming so close so many times but never winning is a good way to frustrate and motivate teams. They know they're right there, they've been so close for so long, they just need one burst of good play to get themselves over the hump into a championship. It has been a very very long time since Texas has been in the finals, so they don't have that hunger that Buffalo does. They are no doubt thrilled to be in this spot, but in terms of motivation they won't be able to match the fire Buffalo is gonna have.  

12C: (+1) I prefer the Renegades' branding. I like their dark colors more than Buffalo's weird green color. Their logo is also pretty cool. It has a nice design that makes you feel like the guys on that team will shoot you and take your money, while Buffalo's logo conveys nothing. The Stampede aren't as creative of a team name, it falls under the "animal that will beat you up" category which isn't exactly a bad thing, but I prefer the Renegades kinda have their own vibe going on.

12D: (+1) I would vibe in Buffalo. It is way too hot in Dallas, I prefer the cold I'm sure as hell gonna get that in Buffalo. I don't really know what I would do to spend my time there, maybe spend time giving free therapy to Sabres fans, which would be way more fun than giving therapy to Stars fans, they don't need it nearly as bad. Maybe I'd spend my weekend driving to New York City, and let Buffalo continue to live in the shadow of its cooler brother.
