Unstoppable. Through 6 weeks, they've
completely dominated and they remain the
only undefeated team in the Platinum
Division. FYI: The undefeated curse has
taken out the likes of Mindstate (Winter
2007) & Game Breakers (Fall 2006). |

have proven that they are part of the
elite and they were rewarded with their
highest ranking to date. Unlike the Gold
Division, the Western Conference is
crowded and 5 teams above .500 are
competing for a Playoff spot. |

how hard the Platinum Division really is
and their stats aren't getting padded

Bottom line is... if you want to be the
best, you gotta beat the best. Deacons
vs. Angkor Wat in Week 7 should be one
of the top games in Rivalry Week. |

General Manager, Mark Pagdilao

Zero Balance

them the chip. Five weeks into the
season, there's no team that can beat
them and the Thrillers vs Zero Balance
match up will only happen on Week 8 if
both teams remain undefeated. Rated R

Dear
Hippos,
We've all given up on our own season and
so we'll show our support and cheer you
on when you guys play an hour before us.
Some may accuse us of riding the
bandwagon, some may say we're scouting,
but simply put, if we can't win
Franchise owner of the season, then
we'll force it on you.
P.S. If you
can't beat them, join them.
P.S.S. We only wrote this because even
the most critical staff writers feel
that Elements can't beat Hippos. |
