ok! You put in the most time/effort on this, I was just whining but I'll always support whatever you prefer on these in the long run.

I'm just being a little bitch ... it's totally not you ... you've been a terrific help. In fact this draft doesn't happen without your work

I don't know if there are any Chess fans here, but Chess has blown up on Twitch over the last month.

Hikaru Nakamura's channel has exploded, and is regularly hitting 30/40K concurrent viewers. For a period yesterday he was the biggest streamer on Twitch.

His semi-final last week versus Magnus Carlsen drew a huge audience. The last leg of a tense final versus Dubov is currently streaming here:

Carlsen really hosed up his clock management in at least three of those games. Overall, the level of play at that speed simply amazes me.

I've been known to dabble, but I really don't know anything about twitch, lol.

Final game, then Armageddon! Bring it!

It's actually really easy to find and stream.

Yeah, I was doing something odd and wanted to make sure I was accounting for all of them, even if they were buried with other teams.

It's about time for your odds soon, too, right?

[The Feral Slasher]

Well crap, in my minimal research those two were clear cut. Third is not so clear so might be a while , no pick tonight for sure

[Bene Futuis]

So what are those big 16 franchises I keep hearing so much about? NYY, BOS, LAD, uh...., CIN, and approximately 12 others?
