Pothas, Jojo, Andrew B


But an amazing draft. Almost every side is as good as the other, it came down to personal preference when voting, mostly.

 

[Pothas]

Andrew B has that great run of people averaging 70+

 

[AndrewB]

I often find that these unrestricted drafts make it very difficult to pick the best teams - you end up with 10 teams with hardly a weakness between them...

 

[JOJOXI]

Time for a last minute call for any people who haven't voted yet - voting ends in under 36 hours

 

[AndrewB]

Congratulations to Pothas. And to me, I guess

 

[Teuton]

congrats. 9/10 is pretty comprehensive

 

[Line and Length]

Congratulations to Pothas and AndrewB. Thanks for an interesting and challenging draft. Happy to get a vote.

 

[JOJOXI]

Congrats to AndrewB and Pothas - clear everyone who voted was in agreement you had very impressive teams! Thanks AndrewB for running the draft as well.
