It’s baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaack: The 2016 RealGM Soccer Board Draft

[Baphomet]

Baph, congratulations on a brilliant win! I'm surprised my comprehensive tactical summary failed to produce more votes Best of luck in the final!

I think the final four teams were about correct in terms of quality, but I honestly didn't expect to beat you and J-Mezzy so comprehensively at all. I'm obviously pleased the vote's gone that way, but I'm still a little shocked. On the other hand, I expected sleepyPT and Foye's match up to be close and it didn't disappoint, that was agonisingly close all the way.

Looking forward to a good final. Thanks to everyone for participating.

[Baphomet]

Polls are up for the final, and will close on Sunday at 1pm GMT. Cheers!

[J-Mezzy]

Baph to win it. Much deserved

[Baphomet]

Certainly not over yet, still a day of voting to go and the margin's only 3.

[Ted Lasso]

I haven't voted yet. I'm gonna weigh in soon and stir **** up now that i'm good and knocked out.

Congrats to Baph, you deserve this championship and more for the great team you built as well as for all the hard work you put in to hosting this game.

Now sleepyPT can say that they where the only team in this tournament to have beaten the champion.

[Baphomet]

Cheers pal. I mean, I thought my team was pretty damn good but I didn't expect to win the whole thing.

I will treasure this GMgoran cup victory always, like one treasures unlikely events such as being shat on by a bird, or being struck by lightning and surviving.

So, I think these are our winners year by year:

2013: J-Mezzy/Man of Steel
2014: BUCKnation
2015: Turco/Massimo
2016: Baphomet

[BUCKnation]

Congrats Bapho

I'm open to doing something different like this in next summer's draft. I have to admit I'm not too keen on the idea of having a mid-season draft, but I won't decide that for myself. I'm happy to listen to other people's thoughts on this if there is large support for it.
