First let me start by saying there is a second place team here only because the region is so small.Second This is a difficult region to judge as I am pretty sure that 80% of the teams don't understand the game at all yet.

1 Apocalypse [Russia] 8-1 321-35 ii.2

I'll give it to the EE region they do play some interesting formations to get thier success. Running a formation with only 4 down offensive lineman Apocalypse scores seemingly at will. Perhaps the modified Spread Pro-set is the GI version of the A-11 offense that leaves defenses so confused by the time they figure it out they're already down by 21.

2 Black Jaguars [Russia] 8-1 171-41 Top Division

We just don't know how good the Jags are yet. They thump bots and are competitive against humans in freindlies. Center Vener Balmin looks to be a rock solid centerpeice to a very good line. But the 5-2 defense while staggeringly good against the run has been successfully breached by a bot. Like many teams in the region only time will tell.

3 AZS Beskidy [Poland] 7-2 261-146 ii.1

The most striking thing about AZS is the odd defensive configuration that they run. A 5-3-2 with only a lone cornerback. The more surprising thing? They're making it work. This is the Russian version of the St Louis Rams of the late nineties early 2000's that didn't need to stop you because they'll just hang 8 td's on you and leave it at that. In 6 games 18 year old Quarterback Lucjan Prażmo has put up 1256 yards, and average of 200 yards passing per game. It will be interesting to see what kind of damage this setup will do in the cup.

4 Alligators Brno [Czech Republic] 7-2 203-118 ii.3

There is a lot to be learned about American football in these EE states. Alligators Brno has put out the best random lineup of anyone in ii.3 That's all I can say.

5 Ostankino Emo Duck-bills [Russia] 7-2 258-70 Top Division

If I had to make my pick from the information I have seen, I'd take this Russian squad against any in the region. Look for them to bounce back and over take the Jaguars at the end of the season to win the TD crown and possibly the cup as well.
