THE MOST COMPETITIVE LEAGUE IN EUROPE IS BACK AND WILL BE HOLDING ON TO THAT TITLE

The preseason must have been harsh, because this week ended with a lot of upsets and not a single expected win. The Ducks beat the ex-ELF Enthroners, the Prague Black Panthers won against the Graz Giants and the Danube Dragons defeated their lifelong rivals, the Vienna Vikings.
SALZBURG DUCKS VS. FEHERVAR ENTHRONERS (16:3)
I can only imagine what the Ducks had to go through in the preseason to get such an amazing win in the first week. The most disappointing team in the league last year (only one win that was deemed illegitimate during the preseason) beat a team that’s fresh out of the ELF with a margin of 13 points. We all know that the Fehervar Enthroners are bad, but they were still ELF material, so in my eyes, the Ducks should be very proud of themselves. I just hope they carry that energy throughout the season.
PRAGUE BLACK PANTHERS VS. GRAZ GIANTS (24:21)
The Graz Giants are historically one of the most impressive teams in the Austrian League, but it seems like the glory days are over. To be fair, it was a close loss, but still embarrassing for Giant standards. I mean, they were the one team that was able to leave the Vikings shaking in their helmets, but now its time for a change of scenery. The Black Panthers showed up and followed through on offence, defence AND Special Teams. Let’s see how that will hold up in two weeks against the Enthroners.
DANUBE DRAGONS VS. VIENNA VIKINGS (35:14)
The Dragons must be high on life right now. Due to a technicality, their loss didn‘t count in the final and now they showed that they can also win on the field, not just off of it. As a former Viking, I can’t even begin to imagine what they must be going through right now. What I can imagine though, is the drills they will be running until the next game. The Ravelin will once again become a place of pain and agony. I wish the Dragons good luck against the Tirol Raiders and hope that the Vienna Vikings can show what they’re made of once again.
