We're about a month into the season and we've got a few interesting records posted by teams folks mighta thought wouldn't be posting them. Who do you think has been most surprising?

Charlotte is the team I think can keep it up. Already regretting my conservative win prediction in their team preview. Really liked their offseason just thought it was too tall a hole to climb out of.

Since 2049 Mexico City has averaged 98 wins per season. They still have Roman. That team winning is not surprising.

I was not expecting the Krill to do much this year. Hope you can keep it up!

Charlotte had a really strong offseason. Not surprised by their start.

The Atlantic has been an interesting division to follow this year, as there has been a big clump at the top of the standings.
