Innovator: Given the slow start and relatively new cast of participants. How would you rank this season as far as talent goes.?(to early to tell?)

Lars: I kind of alluded to this in the last question I guess, but I don't want to disrespect those who are involved. Fuck it. There's a certain prestige about facing and potentially beating a 'name'. To know you could compete at their level. There really aren't many established heads in the AOWL currently, and nothing is going to match the first season of AOWL when everything was new and people had something to prove. I'm not going to look back with rose tinted glasses though, competition wasn't that great, it maybe had more numbers - but not talent. Franks season my favourite. An in-form Frank is a monster. Certain too. They were, what we called at RM, the leagues Iron Men. They had endurance to compete week in, week out. There are very few who do that, and even less in this era of text. I think these types of character often get overlooked in the leagues as their records maybe leave them flagging behind the champs at 5 or 6-0, but these staples are what make the leagues and they deserve credit for that. Zygote was one for the league here in recent memory. Copypat even. It is a little early to discuss talent but I'd like to see the se newer guys step up and take the reigns this season. Your Mr. J's, Ullr's, UnbornBuddah, Nigma etc... with the bigger 'names' procrastinating, the opportunities there for one of then to take it and establish themselves. That's not a slight on them either, they're undoubtably talented, but a win here could help solidify their spot with gorillas.

that time is now.
