On the Galileo prediction;

Even more than any other division, Galileo will be won during alliance selections.
I actually have to agree with Looking Forward in a sense that pairings are going to be super crucial. I myself put together an excel sheet and noticed that ~25 teams have a higher match loss total than match win total and didn't make it into eliminations in at least one event.

But at the same time, I believe that Galileo won't be won during alliance selections and I won't be surprised if there are upsets in Eliminations. I think its going to be very very intense. I am predicting a lot of dark horses in our division and a lot of break ups in alliance pairing....

ATL in 2 days guys, GET EXCITED!
