(S22) - PT4 - Road to Glory

[KoltClassic]

As I’m a bit late to the game in writing this PT, it is a bit easier to make a good guess as to who is going to be competing for the Ultimus championship. Sadly, my Sabercats will not be making a run at the trophy given that we were knocked out of a playoff berth in the last week of the season after a truly remarkable season ( and by far my favorite season in the league to date ). Based on the teams that are currently still in contention for the championship, my dark horse pick as the team to hoist the trophy is none other than the Yellowknife Wraiths. While TPE-wise this might not be a bold pick with the Wraiths being the leaders in TPE by around 500 points, Yellowknife’s history in the Ultimus championship makes this choice a risky one. The last four times that the Wraiths have been to the big game they have lost. This is quite an impressive streak, but I think that this is finally the year that the Wraiths can bring it home. With veterans like Nate Swift and Cooter Biggsby leading their offense, and star players in Nero Alexander, Marvin Leonard, and Maurice Virtanen on the other side of the ball, I think Yellowknife has all of the pieces they need to finally ring home a championship that has been eluding them for so long.
