1.) Playoff Series MVP: Choose an MVP for one of the playoff series and write about why you chose them. Must be completed after the playoff series you write about
@Aenir
Chris Orosz has been absolutely stunning with the time he has spent in San Jose. Before him coming on, the team struggled to find it's identity on offense. We had a mobile QB that would run himself in to the entire defensive line or throw multiple interceptions. Every once in a while he would throw none and we would dominate that game.
We lost hunt and gained Chris. He is the reason we made the playoffs and a huge turning point for the team. I think that he was the best player on the field for the Otters Sabercats playoff game. He had a QB rating of 93.7 which was better than the opposing QB, multiple MVP Mike Boss as a measly 69.8.
Chris Orosz threw for 22 completions out of 45 attempts and covered a total of 309 yards with 3 touchdowns. This is a pretty great statline. We didn't always connect but the average yardage was 14. That's some big gains. The most impressive thing was we had no interceptions. Not a single one.
I think that these two teams are very evenly matched up, and it could have gone either way. They just happened to collectively play better, but I think our quarterback was the reason we we're in it in the first place.

2.) Playoff review
First up we have the wraiths playing against the Philadelphia liberty. Phily did a lot of things right to take this win away. They did better with passing, and defense. I think that the yellowknife rushers actually did a better job.
One thing that was really impressive was Liberty's kicker knocking down a long field goal. This was a nice edge and super helpful in securing a lead. Also, the punting game from the liberty was just overall better.
Next we have San Jose Sabercats vs the Orange county Otters. This was a fantastic game to watch and very close. These two have battled throughout the season and every time they played, it was really anyone's game. This was still true.
I think both defenses are very stout. On offense, the otter's running game seemed to function better in keeping drives alive than the san jose sabercats. Both of the rushers for the otters found the end zone, where none of the sabercats runners did.
I've already talked about the QB's in this game so really it was a very close game and I think if there had been 2 more minutes on the clock, San Jose would be the current ultimus champions.

3.) Going to Disneyland!:Who was the Ultimus MVP? Give us a rundown of their celebratory trip to Disneyland. (Can be completed after the Ultimus game)
This might be a bit controversial but I think that the Ultimus MVP is none other than Bradley Westfield. He played an insane game. First off, I think Mike Boss did great, but throwing 2 interceptions is not MVP worthy.
Bradley Westfield was up there as the most efficient receiver for this team and over a lot of receptions. It is true that Jordan Yates also did a smash job on offense, but Westfield had the longest catch on the team, was more efficient with the catches he got and he found the end zone.
Now getting 130 yards on 7 receptions with a touchdown is pretty insane, but that's not all bradley westfield did for this team. He plays special teams too which gave the orange county otters a huge advantage. He returned 3 kicks for a total of 86 yards. and 3 punt returns for 18 yards. I think if you take away this player or substitute him out with a worse player, It's very possible that the otter's did not win the MVP.
As far as Disneyland, he is looking forward to a nice vacation with his family where he can have some downtime. I believe he recently had a newborn so he will go forth and join the fleets of other parents pushing strollers making memories and having fun.

4.) Unsung Hero:Who was the unsung hero of the playoffs, convince us. (Can be completed after the Ultimus game)
@Muford Vincent Sharpei was the unsung hero of the playoffs.
Without Vincent Sharpei, first off there is no playoffs. He transitioned from offensive line to a linebacker for the good of the team and he's been doing a great job at it.
During the playoff game, He recorded an insane 11 tackles and 2 sacks. This would be a massive feat on it's own, but lets compare it to the league leading linebacker. Angus Winchester was tied for the most sacks in the league with a defensive lineman Dan Miller at season's end. Angus has done an amazing job being the backbone of his defense. I will note that Even with Angus and Dan at 18 sacks for the normal season, Sharpei had 14 which is good enough for 3rd highest in the league.
He actually played against Vincent Sharpei's team and only recorded 5 tackles and 1 sack. He did end up having 3 passes defended so it's very possible that I'm comparing apples and oranges, however 11 tackles and 2 sacks is a very strong performance. It possibly means that too much of the defense was relying on Vincent, or that the Otter's relied more heavily on the ground game than the sabercats. Either way, and I might be biased since I'm on the team and defense, but he is definitely my unsung hero of the playoffs
