I'll be satisfied if I even have 50% of the names right, let alone where they're drafted I'd say you might have maximum of 3-4 right in your 15 haha Edited January 14, 2017 by KaynineXL Link to comment

If so, that's fair (even tho 1 is a gimme so its really just 2 lol). But I think overall I've got a decent amount of the actual players for the top 16 right - I could be wrong though Link to comment

As for top 16, I think you've got around 14 of them right. We'll see... the HYPE ehh? BigPapi and Gunthug 2 Link to comment

OrangeManiac Posted January 14, 2017 Share Posted January 14, 2017 I think mock drafts are much more fun, though. It's bound to go always horribly wrong, because one surprising move can mix up the draft picks so much that are anticipated. I'm surprised if I get even 33% right but retrospectively I'm sure at least two predictions went right: Frags is 1st and XPLOZ is nowhere in the first 16.

Indeed this is pretty safe to say that the best player of all time will be picked 1st and that a player who doesn't play will not be picked early. That's probably your only good prediction, keep it up :-) On another note, those who say that Yubel will be the 2nd pick because of his performance in UU yesterday must be blind. Yubel didn't even signup in UU. Not putting Axoa into the top16 is dumb, considering he is probably the 2nd best player of all time. Suneet, Coge, KaynineXL and 3 others 6 Link to comment

I didn't check the sign up sheet very well before predictions, but I thought osuki signed up for gen 7 OU which is kind of moot without the tier. And yubellllllll is still a number 2 value pick in any tier Link to comment

Im starting workin Wednesday, so keep that in mind. I am aware that some of you do want me and I have to mention that my activity will drastically drop soon.

What kept a few pure DPP players off my list is how deep the dpp player pool is this season. There are at least 8 players in dpp that I really don't look forward to facing so I think smart managers will find value in that tier with the auction rather than using a draft pick on them Link to comment

You only look at the results and you make your predictions accordingly. But believe me, the french community is strange as fuck and the results hide lots of stupid stuff. Orange > so that there is no misunderstanding, I'm far from saying that you're bad, I only know gb too well. Edited January 14, 2017 by XPLOZ Link to comment

KaynineXL Posted January 14, 2017 Share Posted January 14, 2017 (edited) I think people need to put more value on how much the player is willing to help team mates with questions, team building, how hard do they work, how is their general knowledge on other players such as scouting/knowing playstyles - this is really good when helping your team mates. It's fine to be great in a single role, but it's so much better imo when you've got a player who can play well in a role and is happy to help others.

Are you saying that, when there is 1 Showdown Single tier and 1 Showdown Doubles tier, the player base in each tier is greater than what it would be if we had 2 Showdown Singles tiers? If that is the case, I would be careful if I were you. Making up rules can be quite dangerous. Oltan and Rendiz 2 Link to comment

I really appreciate what you're saying, but I think I'm a bit young into the DPP scene. I knew nothing about it (and about Showdown in general) before last summer. That's why I wouldn't put myself over more experienced players like Gunthug and Nik, it would be very presumptuous. But yeah, I think that I did quite well during my first PSL as a Showdown player and I'm looking forward doing much better this season. Guerinf, Rendiz and Arimanius 3 Link to comment
