Basically this post thing is just to describe what I've thought about the whole Super Cup so far. It's been fun. I've enjoyed it. Being part of the very first also adds some specialness (is that a word) to it. It's definitely different than being a regular GM. Far more lax (I think), at least in terms of the draft thread having some casual conversation going on in it. I'm not sure how I feel about that, but whatever.
When I found out I was drafting third, I was kind of disappointed. I knew right from the get-go that regardless of whether I had the first pick, or the second, or whatever, I wanted Tukio. Devise was 1st, Edgar was 2nd, so really I only had Edgar to worry about. When he drafted Taylor, I was ecstatic, because I now had the (2nd?) best goalie in the league on my team.
Which brings me to something. Having our own players on our own teams is stupid. It's unfair to a lot teams. Obviously, Green and Devise have the definite advantage because they didn't have to worry about drafting an elite goaltender, and could start right off with grabbing a star forward. People like Minus and Ball were at more of a disadvantage, because their players obviously don't stack up as well when you compare their TPE for their players to say, Green who has I think 900+ TPE for Lebeau. So yeah, reconsider this rule for the next Super Cup.
Anyways, I'm pretty confident that my team can win. Devise probably has the best team in terms of character, simply because he made an effort to draft only actives. I applaud him for that, and kind of wish I did the same. At least I drafted people that weren't complete inactive though (save for Lebedev, but he doesn't count). Regardless, I'm sure that future GMs will lean towards an active team rather than a stronger team, since that's (namely) what this tournament seems to be about.
Should be fun.

This is my 600th TPE for Valiq. Hurray.
