I drafted basically all on how they did at worlds last year. Most of my team had a really good year last year at Worlds, but beyond that I'm not terribly sure how their season has gone aside from the fact that they made the world team.

I would be satisfied and am expecting to finish in the top half and we'll see from there.

Wish I couldve been around. I was gone from Friday afternoon til now. The list I sent to Jensen was made from the prediction threads. I've never heard of anyone on my team that arent Americans. Thanks for making my picks for me Shane. I'll have to do some research to figure out who in the hell these guys are now.

I think you'll actually find that just based off compiling those lists that you've got yourself a pretty solid team.

Your bottom four weights especially are super solid.

Thank you to our resident name dropper.

Why would the do that? Does that somehow affect how countries qualify weights?
