Wow, big congrats to Corinthians and Apple ValleyStorm! Great tournament run.
Seems so. When you have multiple Gold teams knocking out Premier teams, then it certainly seems the top division wasn't all that "Premier". Sure TFA was missing, but there were enough top table Premier teams to properly represent. But yeah it's to be expected with the birth year change and DA expansion. I don't think anyone really knew the level of talent they had compared to the competition.
The vast majority of these teams are breaking for High School after next week and a lot can happen in 3 months, but West Coast is definitely looking like the early favorite to win Nationals. They pretty much cruised through SCDSL and it's hard to tell who in CSL can challenge them when multiple Premier teams lost to Gold teams.
