I blurted out "Its over" when I saw Kageyama, Bokuto, Hinata, and Ushijima on one team. After looking at it carefully, I thought this could be a close match but the only weak spots the Firing Squad has is Daichi's attack on the outside and Tendou's "guess blocking" interfering with Yaku's defense. Even though the Ice Wall has a better block, the Firing Squad doesn't fall too far behind since Ushijima, Bokuto, Tendou, Kageyama can be considered good blockers. Gonna have to give this one to Firing Squad. (I didn't watch the live stream so excuse me if I repeated things that were already discussed)

Wow I usually never post and just enjoy watching but I was curious what Chatgpt AI says which team would win if you simulate it based on skill alone 100 times and team Ice wall won 65 out of 100 times. Just found this interesting to try, ever wonder on thinking of perhaps having Chatgtp compare vs the voting results.

Have to go with Firing Squad. Two Top 5 national hitters and a national level setter is just too much to overcome. I don't even think the middles matter with Daichi and Yaku passing. I do really love the team Sarah assembled though. By the way, I played along and made up my own teams using the points system. With Ushijima (7): Akaashi (4), Kuroo (5), Bokuto (5), Kunimi (2), Inuoka (2), Watacchi (2), Oikawa (5) Kunimi, Inuoka, and Watacchi are steals imo at 2 points and I think there is a consistent overall passing level (except for maybe Bokuto) is in the team. Watacchi can also set from the back line. Kunimi is actually really talented, but doesn't try hard, and I'm banking on Akaashi to figure that out. Inuoka isn't exceptional but he's Nekoma so he's going to be a good passer. I tried thinking outside the box in that if you have Ushijima, you don't necessarily need Kageyama or Oikawa and Akaashi at 4 is still a national level setter. But I ended up having a lot of points left over so I picked Oikawa for a pinch server/6-2 play haha. Without Ushijima: Kageyama (5), Bokuto (5), Kuroo (5), Inuoka (2), Iwaizumi (5), Daichi (3), Yaku (4), Suga (3) Similar sort of thought process but I think mainly if you're up against Ushijima then you have to take Bokuto and Kageyama/Oikawa. Would love to hear your thoughts! (and I hope I got the points right xD)

I ended up going with the Firing Squad for this one. Ushijima + Bokuto with Kageyama setting them seems so dangerous. Even if Bokuto is off form, there are plenty of other weapons on that team to compensate. Daichi + Yaku also provide a bolstered defense to work around. While Tendou's blocking approach may cause some issues at times, I could also see him really frustrating Mad Dog to the point of nullifying him completely. If it were just Ushijima and no Bokuto, it would be a much harder choice since I think Aone and Kuroo would be able to limit a more focused offense.

Ice Wall is the more balanced team imo, and I don't think they'd get blown out of the water. But more often than not I do think Firing Squad is winning, despite them being much more unbalanced imo—I mean, what is Hinata really contributing here? I guess they can do freak quicks sometimes, but I'm not even sure that's necessary between the firepower of Ushijima and Bokuto. If I was a spectator of the match I imagine I'd root more for Ice Wall, they just seem much more interesting, SUCH a solid block and so many well rounded players. I do think if this was another 10 match scenario they'd come out with a few of the wins, but ultimately I had to vote for Firing Squad.
