BINGO

Since this post will be current until January, thought I'd be salty/have fun with it. Let's see if we get Bingo, shall we?

Uh, Fire would win just because of the size, it doesn't even matter how ardent each flight's trainers are.
Like, shadow is something like 3 times as big as fire, which means that for each dragon fire gets through raffle/ob, shadow would need to get 3. That's rough even with oof probably skewing towards helping shadow against the perceived bullying ..

Last time Fire surprised us, we (Shadow) flipped them like crazy several times for several hours at times up until last day's evening but yeah, in the end we lost... :/

(Which is mildly hilarious when comparing with our last battle with Ice where we didn't flip at all regardless of better ratio which implies that either Ice is that much better than the so-called powerhouse Fire (likely), or spite and public perception plays that much of a role, or hib-den makes that much of a difference, or something else? idk but it's still funny for me)

Idk if you want like a serious response to this but in a balanced dom battle, usually one flight is stronger at internals and the other is getting more out of the OOF raffle and pb. This allows flights to strategize and try to make the fight more externally focused (by raising prices, throwing out a KS item, etc), or more internally focused (keeping prices low, buying out fodder floor to supply to its own trainers, etc).

In SvF, Shadow was a clear winner of the OOF side, fueled by spite, and willing to throw a lot of money to defend themselves. The sky high prices worked to help them because OOF was mainly funneling to them.

The problem with Ice is their raffles are almost always extremely popular. So Ice had better internals AND was winning the OOF game. There was nowhere to hit them. Unless Shadow could've run them out of money, which doesn't seem like was possible either this time.

Ice specifically was a very hard match for Shadow. But are they better at dom than Fire? Yeah probably lol.
