Agree with you on that. Although I didn't watch any LIE games we were completely overmatched against 91 (yes we qualified). 2 months of practice won't change the outcome for most of these teams. Talent gap is just too great. Unless there are some unusually strong squads from east I don't see anyone really giving 91 a real test.
BBL in the East is quite good at the 2025 level. They were the men among boys in the East qualifier. 91 vs. BBL would probably be a good game. |
