Pre-season Ranking: 6th

Comments: MEBenhoe is calling out the other HULA captains with accusations of poor drafting. MEBenhoe used the strategy of selecting players who went 5-1 in past HULAs. He believes that this strategy will propel his team to victory over the less-informed.

This publication believes the MEBenhoe's hubris will be his downfall. MEBenhoe passed up better values to select players who conform to his rigid evaluation system. In the 1st round, MEBenhoe passed up Trix for ALL1N-a 30/60 HU and 3-handed specialist. In round 2, MEBenhoe passed up players like Jason Strasser, Danenania and King Yao to select Aces McGee--a 3/6 player whose specialty is full ring games.

MEBenhoe makes up for his mediocre drafting in the first two rounds with his excellent value picks in the 3rd and 4th round. Joe826 is a long-term HUSH poster who has also had success in HULA. Kurosh is one of the best value picks in the draft--he is a dangerous and arrogant player who has matched himself with the best in the world at high limit HU games on UB. Unfortunately for him, his best traits led to a catastrophic fall to the 4th round.

Time will tell if MEBenhoe's strategy is sound, but this publication recommends that you bet against him.

Just a comment on my picks:

1. Trix is an absolute beast
2. I played Aces McGee last year in HULA. I've played a lot of people heads up, and that match with Aces ranks as the 2nd hardest match I've played. #1 being against Schneids. I had Aces targeted as my 2nd round pick from the beginning, and likely the only way I wouldn't have taken him is if I could've gotten Tosh in the 1st round and Trix in the 2nd. Then I would've hoped he was still available in the 3rd.

I went into the draft planning on taking 2 of the 3 of Tosh, Trix, and Aces McGee with my first two picks. Taking Kurosh in the 4th round, and taking the best available player in the 3rd round. So in reality I think I had a perfect draft, as in my mind I got 4 players who should all have been picked in the first 2 rounds.
