Reflections on Central Event 1 - Part 4


Due to overwhelming demand, I have decided to do a post featuring the central CX4 division. Having not seen the matches, my comments are based on standings alone. 

There are 15 teams in the CX4 division but only 12 were present at Central CXBL Event 1. Three teams failed to show up to compete but I have been assured that these teams have now been sold and we can expect to see a full 15 teams present and ready to compete at Border Battle. Of the twelve teams who did compete, two teams stood out. Hamilton Havoc and Codrington Chaos both pulled off several wins throughout the two days of competing and are currently tied at the top of the standings with 86 points. Barrhaven Raiders Army follows close behind with 82 points. Whitby Whiteout, Wawa Rockstars, and Petrolia Pirates also have potential, each being separated by only one point with 79, 78, and 77 points respectively.

Riding out the middle of the pack are Muskoka Mercs (74 pts), Mount Hope RS Bedlam (60 pts), and Lowville Lions (52 pts). Of the twelve teams who partook in the competition, Brampton Rage Kidz are currently in last place, holding fewer than half the points that Havoc and Chaos have. Rage Kidz currently have 42 points and thus will have a long road ahead of them if they seek to make a comeback. That being said, it wouldn’t take much for them to come out ahead of Owen Sound Stars(44 pts) or Brighton Bandits (46 pts).

The three new teams will also have their work cut out for them to make up for the lacking points from the first event. I trust that these teams are currently firing their markers as much as they can to prepare. We will look forward to seeing how they do at Border Battle at the end of this month.
