WRIG's Week 2 A-Team Previews

Link to spreadsheet

Incoming, the preview for week 2's a-team matchups. The spreadsheet should be even more legit now that we have real stats in. This was a fun way to compare teams, and I hope you enjoy it as well.

This week features a bunch of uneven matchups: the average difference in community rankings is over 5! Look for Handoff God vs. ACAP Mob, my game of the week, and Nevermores vs. TC Boosts to be the most exciting matchups.

Last week I had a decent 8 for 12 mark, guessing most of the splits correctly. I am going barn-burner this week, predicting that all but one match will result in a sweep.

As always, feedback is welcomed and appreciated. Good luck to all tomorrow night!

Why do people keep calling MOB toxic? It's not like we were screaming at each other and threatening to quit 15 minutes before the week 1 game and then again after.

I would think it's a little concerning for HOG's offense that they only had 84 grabs last week, especially with elegant having internet issues and facing a b teamer rotation as you said. 10 grabs a half on average by each of their offenders is really low and I would expect them to benefit by grabbing more as their underlying stats per grab are good.

Granted, I didn't get a chance to watch the games, so if there's a reason for that low grab total let me know

Taurus actually played some very nice o/d, which really paid off for them last week. One big problem was hom being able to get out so often against the wrig and pseudo, which should be much less of a problem against cook and asap. Cook will be the one to watch for if they do have opportunity to get out.

That being said, please stop letting pseudo grab. Tell him not to grab. Beg him. Anything but having pseudo grab. Tell him I love him, but he needs to stop grabbing the flag. xD

Their low grab rate was both due to flag being out and not being able to get grabs at all (better than flaccids though). In contrast, you saw poca and hom being better at getting those grabs, but wrig shutting them down in base (thank god for wrig). I think grommit especially might benefit from being more aggressive at grabbing. He's very good with the flag and taurus can play some extremely good support (or set up a handoff as both are great mechanically).

Overall HOG should have a much stronger showing this week. I believe in you guys <3

Agreed, and that's why I concluded something similar to you. Their scoring and flaccid rates were fantastic, so I imagine they were playing very conservatively - likely due to the fact that the flag wasn't in base as much as it should be on our defensive end. I think they will grab more and be more productive this week despite playing what will likely be a tougher defense.

Absolutely. Hom and Poca are a great O pairing imo, so there's no shame in having to play a little conservative if that was the case. I would argue that Cook and Caplord are not quite at the same level, so hopefully that allows the offense to open up.

Hey wrig

Can you make the averaged stats (including GASP) balanced per minute? So (A GASP * A minutes + B GASP * B minutes .... ) / total minutes.

Yeah I really need to do that. I’m gonna work on that for next week I think.
