Sounds like a "pro" to me. Last year was so boring, TV stations weren't interested in broadcasting the game. Now, good strategy might help you overthrow a powerhouuse alliance.

Not true. I know of two Week 1 alliances that won a playoff round using an Alliance Captain or first pick for defense. I also know of alliances that won by playing no defense; 3 offense bots.
