Very fun draft today with some sickos. We decided to bet $2k per team and there was Bryn Kenney, Timex, Shane Gamble, Jono Karamalikis, Craig McCorkell, Pistons and a few others.
We all got $50 to spend, the maximum we could spend on one player was $48 and we would end up with 3 players each.
Timex was predictably the first person that was auctioned for and it just worked that we'd just all shout out a name when we wanted to bet on a player so for example I say "Moorman" everybody can say "out" or start bidding 2,3,4 etc, it gets interesting after the first round of picks as predictably people go really big for the big guys with timex/Bryn goigg for the max.
I always wanted myself, European and Sam Phillips (buckguy2200 who just won ept Barcelona) I knew I would go cheaply and imagined with these guys id get myself for 1 so I was leaving myself till last.
Unfortunately I was around the 15th name called out initially by timex with $7 the maximum he had left after paying lots really early and then Firaldo at 18 which was his maximum, I went to 19 and nobody re-bid so I was a little sad that I'd spent so much more than expectation.
Prat then said dan smith and I said 2, everybody snap said out and I realised he must not be playing this year, Henrik down how bid 3 and we had a huge let off.
I was next up and said Sam Phillips, I got a bunch of who's and lols which I felt weird as Sam is really good and v well respected and just won barca ffs
anyway that was definitely the steal of the whole draft IMO. Somebody opened European at 1 I had 30 left and it doesn't matter how much you left after so just said snap 30 and most didn't have enough to outbid me as we were late in the draft and I finished with A solid team IMO. All three of us will play every event, were all in good form and were grinders unlike a bunch of the people drafted.
Here is the whole draft for anybody interested:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1f4ogtki6KS6kZvchUjEhztPX7I2b17e6Qzteu2A7og4/edit#gid=ChrisTomorrow we do another 2k draft and we will do 5 man teams this time with a snake order instead of auction.
I got robbed afterwards tonight, nothing too serious but will go to the police tomorrow probably. Don't worry mum if you're reading, I'm fine! Explain it in another post.
Also put a post up selling for some of the higher buy ins for wcoop, I think it's sold out now, looking forward to literally grinding every day for 3 weeks and really testing myself. Going to be such a great month, really got to remember that it's a marathon and not a sprint. So many guys will be tilted/stuck:tired after 15
Days.
