How the same matches could be in BB2020, thanks to Season Redraft and the consequent dreaded Blockle teams' spam:
Ogre matches
Chaos Dwarf
Chaos Dwarf
Dwarf
Dwarf
Dwarf
Chaos Dwarf
Norse
Chaos Dwarf
Underworld matches:
Chaos Dwarf

Norse

The irony wasn't lost on me. I'm worried you're right, except I'll probably be playing dwarves too :)

I was trying to be ironic. No mocking or jinxing intended. :P
The irony could not be too far from reality, though.

Yes I understood you and agreed with your point.

Is everyone prepping their Dwarf and Chorf teams ready for redraft? Is that why they are abundant at the moment?

That's because us poor Dwarfs are forced onto box because glory huggers on Gamefinder refuse to play against dwarfs unless they have 500 TV lower than them. Half the 'Superstars' only have that title because they've chosen lightweight opponents and refuse to play an even TV game. Gamefinder and rankings on here are a lie. Simple.

What does a dirty trick in your pants look like?

Never-mind.

Chorfs and Dorfs are always abundant unless it's a peak time of the year for BBT
The mind-numbing experience of facing tin-cans can only be inflicted upon opponents that cannot refuse the match up, that's why coaches that "like dwarves" mainly infest the box

I think Dakka is forgetting undead in that prediction.

Feel free to swap any of the teams in the predicition with a top tier 1 team.
:P

Less of the hate language Java! you stirrer ; )
One reason Block teams is Black Box is pretty rough place and just surviving is a challenge, let alone trying to set the pace in BB5.
This blog was put up immediately after Malmir played my team Chaos Wharfe, I was rocking 7 Block at 1310TV which doesn't seem an unreasonably high block/wrestle total.
I've been activating 4 teams (Dwarf/Chorf/Lizard/Undead) but my Chorfs seem to be in a TV sweetspot and are getting scheduled the most at the moment.

Wasn't having a moan at you Beanbelly - it just struck me how many similar races I had faced.
Posted by BeanBelly on 2020-12-08 17:45:38
Yes fine, no probs, that's cool mate.
You have had a hell of samey run.
Posted by Java on 2020-12-08 23:16:47
Hehe BeanBelly, you saw right through me :P
Currently activating mostly OWA and Chaos Dwarves myself, so I'm contributing to the overall discomfort. Box will always be bash central and that's fine.
I just wished they did the same BB2020 shuffle to all Dwarf Blockers, not just the OWA ones. That would make facing Chorfs and Dorfs a bit more interesting in the future. Nevermind, maybe in BB2024.

I started off with nurgle expecting to be rolled
So far 7/2/1... Huh I wonder when the magic will end haha
Posted by Malmir on 2020-12-09 18:48:05
My underworld managed a game against nurgle, but my ogres have played two more against......drumroll..... norse and chorf. Hurray. The gift that keeps on giving.
