3. Personally, I think Logan Webb’s crazy number of goals by himself is the most impressive of the bunch, and probably the hardest to counter. Unless you think every team in the league has chosen to ignore a strategy that targets the Pride’s #1 goal scorer, Webb’s chosen to simply ignore all strategies and just score like a maniac. I think Tampa Bay’s defense is excellent – they beat my Atlanta Inferno, after all – but if you have that much of a game-breaker it’s kind of hard to deny. I think it’s equally frustrating, perhaps, that TBB has such a well rounded offense because then you don’t really have a ‘focal point’ on the opposing offense you can try to shut down, but the solution is just “hey, play good defense overall” as opposed to “try and stop this one guy that literally nobody else can stop.” One feels manageable, the other feels inevitable. Nobody else even has more than 12 goals as of writing this prompt, and while there are few others who have over 25 points (a few centers and Sydney Shaw, a defender), none of them are particularly close to his number of goals, and they’re all at least five points behind. What do you even do against that? [210, +4]

8. I think some will point to San Francisco’s excellent drafting, thoughtful GMing, and commitment from their players to max earn and make their builds complementary to one another – and I think those are all valid ways to construct a very good team which may hold true for the Pride. However, I think the true answer is evil magic, the likes of which have only been brought out in dire situations via deals with devils in the Medieval and Dark ages. [80, +1]
