So now we are almost edging towards the end of season 16...i must say that this season has been a pretty decent one for india.but now come the real challlenge,the playoffs..
so i thought why dont we take a look at the teams who are competing hard for the place in 1.1-
Division 1
League 1.1-the best league of india,without diamond pheonix the way for the finals from big 8 is clashing between samba rockers and lucknow lightening,a tough call between them but i would go with the experience of lightening.moreover samba has placed his best player on TL..from great 8 golden rule is the top contender..so heres 1.1
Predicted Final-Lucknow lightening vs Golden rule
Predicted winner-Golden rule
Division 2
League2.1-the most competitive league of division 2 with 6 active teams.from Big 8 Hardcourt dunkers seems to be the best team.though leeds also has a good team and the clash between both of these teams was worth watching.from great 8 the top 2 contenders are Sidhu lions and Golden all stars...Sidhu lions has been in this league since season 12 so he would be eager to go Div 1.Golden all stars has a decent team and was the only div 2 team to reach the quarterfinal of india cup.the semifinals of both the conferences would be a joy to watch..
Predicted Final-hardcourt dunkers vs sidhu lions
Predicted winner-it is a difficult call...both the teams have their own strengths...sidhu lions will be having the HCA in 2 game swhich really boosts his chances...but hardcourt dunkers have won both of the previous 2 clashes between these 2 teams..so this final will be the most competitive final of this league ever...
League 2.2-this is the second best league of div 2.from big 8,k rim time are the top contenders to reach the finals...from great 8 plateaus is the top contender to reach the finals though he might face some resistance from Zibo grizzlies but plateaus is a bit too good for him...
Predicted final-k rim time vs plateaus
Predicted winner-plateaus
League2.3-in this league there is only 1 active team of imphal highlanders who is the most probable winner of this league.
predicted final-Imphal highlanders vs kartob
Predicted winner-Imphal highlanders
Since there are no active teams in 2.4 so the last team will be selected through their performance in this season.heres the list of the top contenders who can qualify through this process....
Team W L PF PA % PD
plateaus 17 0 1643 865 1.000 778
sidhu lions 16 1 1797 1017 0.941 780
Hardcourt Dunkers 15 2 1599 1126 0.882 473
K-Rim Time 15 2 1642 1196 0.882 446
Golden All Stars 15 2 1620 1176 0.882 444

Interesting predictions, and I believe this will be the case. I may choose to end 4th and participate in the finals (but probably lose in the first round), but may decide to end 5th. That will depend on how Le Grand Cox and Major Ball Blockers perform. I want to have a higher pick in the draft, so most likely I'll end 5th.

I'm tired of seeing those inactive teams in div I. I can't wait for the new season and compete with the promoting teams!

Good luck to all the teams competing for the top!!!

well of all the promoting teams i dont think any one will be able to defeat your team.....
well the promoting teams of all the leagues are almost decided except that of 2.1...sidhu lions is a sure qualifier even if he dosnt win the league thanks to his record in this season...the real problem is with other teams...take my case as an example...i need to win all of my remaining games in order to have a chance to qualify through the bot cleanup...moreover the final against lions(in case i make it to the finals) will be f****ng hard....i cant wait to be in div 1...

With your knowledge about the game and ability to manage GS, your team should be fine. Plus there's always some external help :)

I will not let it go so easily...the predicted final teams from great8 can be anyone sidhi lions or Golden All Stars as we both have 50-50 chance.

yes u r right....u are not letting it go easily..u have proven this thing in the previous match...
and about the predictions,i dont think they are not bound to be 100% right....they can be wrong as well..
This is a really good thing that we have a fighting spirit in division 2....Lets hope for some more of your kind...;)

today is important day for II.3 championship becoz if shandipon xi loose todays match then all dragoons will rise 4th place and then final will be between Imphal Highlanders and all dragoons "2 old and experienced minds" so pray to god for my playoff qualification.

Good luck! Hopefully you'll make it to the finals of the playoff, and have really heated games with Imphal Highlanders.
No matter who wins, there's no doubt that next season's div I will be a lot more interesting than this seasons, with new, yet some experienced team. Even if you don't get promoted this season, you could spend next season saving some cash and building up your team that'd be good enough to stay in div I!
Good luck to you all!

Thats a really good thing that now there is competition even in 2.3...I hope that you get to that playoffs and give highlanders a good fight....
good luck to you...

I've checked with the off-season processing thread, and looking at the date of the new season processing, there will be 6 spots in div I, because Major Ball Blockers and Game Spoilerz will go bot before the bot cleanup process.
