Cabbage's Corner
League highlights compiled weekly by the One-and-Only Freight Cabbage
Hey MNCS Fans welcome back to Cabbage's Corner where we're taking a look at funny, odd, or interesting MNCS stats throughout the season!
Undefeated - Through 4 weeks we've got 5 undefeated teams, down from 6 at this point last season. The teams looking for a perfect Season 7 are Rhythm Premier, Superiors Premier, Atlas Challenger, Rhythm Rising Star, and Flyers Prospect. Will anyone replicate the Season 6 Flyers Rising Star squad and post an undefeated regular season?
Flying High Above - So far the St. Cloud Flyers Prospect team is rolling through teams, posting an impressive 12-0 game score in their perfect start to the season. Check back on April 16th to find out of the Minnetonka Barons Prospect squad can steal a game or series off the top team in Prospect.
Dicey's Domination - The GM and leader of the Rochester Rhythm franchise is continuing his success in Season 7 with his Premier and Rising Star teams both in first (undefeated), Prospect in third, and Challenger in seventh. Can Rochester return to the top and take home multiple titles as they did in Season 6?
Century Watch - Currently only 11 players have recorded 100k points in MNCS regular season matches, we've got two players knocking on the door - MateItsNate and zbruh_rl - who will next join the century club alongside the lauded names like Ambrosia, Tero, and Aostine.
Carnage Filled Car Soccer - Ask MNCS veterans about demolitions and one name comes to mind, Sonny AKA "Sbaves". The warmonger himself has record 859 career demos in MNCS games, which is more than the next two players combined (Lege with 407 and Caeser with 385).
Central Location - Last season Mannfield (Night) saw the most matches played with 176 (350 games overall). So far in Season 7 it looks to retain that title with players choosing it for 27.7% of their matches thus far, with DFH Stadium and Utopia Coliseum (Dusk) both at 16.6% looking to take that crown.
