Delph's League of Champions Season One Discussion Thread

While Starscream covers Scoob/Leo vs. Digi match.

I will cover, B-Dub vs. De’Bel.

Phase 1. Prep build up.

Team Papa D-Bub are taking an unorthodox form of prep.
Part 1 - biological warfare.
Seemingly using genetic knowledge and manipulation of Sinister and Macoy, from DNA samples gained from network Intel gathering in efforts to gain a host of mutagenic abilities. Now the idea seems neat, and actually vary akin to what they have bin doing with Nimrod and its tech use. Only with DNA sampling instead of, schematics based on data. I can only speak for myself but I do spot some holes, that need an explanation or a scan. Other wise a neat trick, which if pulled off, could pay of immensely.

Part 2 - Tech Upgrade.
Now they play their hand, in assimilating their own. The idea is to have a team, not only accesses mutagenic powers, but gain metamorphic tech available for use.

My Two Cents: I don’t know, but I spot some similarities in my own use of OMAC/Spawn team. However the question asked in my team, remains on them. On paper, it seems like a great idea to pull. Yet I still cant shake the fact that this idea is over ambitious with at least 3 gauging holes that define this plan. Knowing De’Bel. She will surely pick up on them.

Miss I am Women Hear me Roar.
De’Bel kicks things of with a bit more of proven method. She will endow their team with some much needed knowledge and experience. And use Frost’s ability to unlock Hellions/Martians mental block. Add on some Magical augmenters. You have at least 2 Psi potentials exceeding the meta human mark.

At a magical stand point, she counts on Faust and the knowledge of several capable magicians to fall back on.

My Two Cents: My concern in plausibility isn’t as big here as it is in Papa B-Dub. I am not so certain who is packing the bigger punch. However, De’Bel is making use of her foot work (speed), and some tricky psi/magics to hit what seems to be vulnerable spots.

I'm not covering their match, just offering my unwanted opinions instead...very randomly 🙂

although I will offer my 2 cents on their match so far

it seems like digi went with the "if it ain't broke, don't change it" method...once again relying on his Minion Prime, who has performed admirably for Digi's team before hitting some hiccups in the match against Smurph. But what was surprising (and a bit disappointing from a spectator perspective) was that Digi didn't seize that turn of events as a catalyst to make any significant tactical changes. However, his early success with Minion Prime may result in his downfall. By winning so much and so handily, Digi never had to change anything up. This allows his opponents to learn more and more about Minion Prime and his capabilities and weaknesses and tailor their attacks against him.

So in effect, Digi's opponents (leo and scoob in this case) knew exactly what they were going up against while Digi didn't have the same luxury. Will Minion Prime prove to be so powerful that none of this matters anyway? Only time will tell.

stay tuned folks...

There is nothing wrong with a bit of sport commentators. Me thinks.

Adding on to Starscreas analysis. For some time, Digi use of Minion has bin seen as the core foundation of his team. His tactic of bulldozing his way through matches has landed him a sweet spot, in 2nd seed. However where Digi aims to build up Minion and what ever lacky he drafts, Scoob/Leo are probably the most odd ball duo out of this entire turney. For better or worse, they have the tendency to greatly diversify themselves in each match. It does not come with out back lash, as it did cost them 2 matches.

So here it is spontaneous diversification vs. blitzing bulldozer.

Blair didn't do the write up and hasn't even posted in the last two matches, but this is team "Papa B-Dub"?

Why? does it matter? Are you bothered by B-Dub ill participation, despite his name being brought up and being depicted as an active team member?

If I was seriously bothered by Blair's absence, I'd tell him every time we talk on MSN. srug

That awesome sig you're wearing provided great moral and emotional support for Smurph to make it to the semi-finals.

its a skrull.

B-Dub is the Robert Horry of KMC Tournaments.

Match analysis should go in the odds thread probably. Though I'm sure the judges won't marginalize my team to a single member, as the above posts suggest.

And De’Bel moves into the heavy offensive. Her words are mighty, will they be enough to deflate Smurphs prep? We anxiously await, for his counter.

I may live to regret my "no time limit" suggestion. The matches are moving at a snail's pace. At about a post per day, which is what we're at, we won't be done until mid January.

I still love that it allows all teams to post as much as they want (up to 10 posts), so that when you post isn't a strategic game but it remains solely about debating, but there may be drawbacks as well.

I thought in the regular season there was a time limit?

Is the no time limit only for playoffs?

We took off the time limit for the playoffs due to the fact that there were a few matches where people couldn't be on during the last day or two, and it turned into a large advantage for the other team. Realizing that matches shouldn't be dictated by schedules, but that debating should be at the forefront, delph agreed with my suggestion to eliminate the time limit. So now it's whenever both teams are "done" or they both get to the 10 post limit.

A good idea in theory, but like I mentioned earlier it's a bit dangerous if the matches' pace lags due to the rule. At this point I'm not worried yet, but it has the potential to be problematic, especially if we don't want to run into the holidays, which seems inevitable at this point.

so I guess now matches will last till both sides hit 10 posts...or unless team mutually agree that 'they're done'. I don't see any team unilaterally stating they're done though.

perhaps delph could institute a time limit for replies? ie. if neither side posts in 24 hours (or whatever number you guys want) the match is officially deemed finished. That may speed things up....a bit.

We'll see. I feel like we'll need to observe the proceedings more before trying to institute new rules or restrictions. Something to keep in mind though.

and you have to have a time limit...or leo/scoob could respond tomorrow, next week, or next month!!!

I want my match to end on December, 9. Regardless how many posts both teams would have made by that point.

Personal reasons- I have my birthday on that day🙂 So clearly I would need some time off tourney and KMC in general.

I mean without a time limit, Blair/Smurhp could (Im not suggesting they will) be dicks and just save all of their posts for Dec 9 knowing you won't be able to respond after that

My suggestion to Delph: Issue a 24 hour time limit for responses. If neither team makes a post in 24 hours, the match will be deemed over.
