Dorian, first, great initials!

Every year, when I enter my gobs of teams in DC's, I always run into a Dorian Kinman team.
I know that Dorian is not a guy who enters a DC just to enter a DC.
He is a damned good drafter and somebody who shares my mindset in choosing his players at a good pace.
If I were to choose a player not well known in Main Event circles to win the Overall Draft Champions, it would be Dorian.
Now that you have the confidence and wherewithall to join in the Main Event drafts, I have no doubt you will do well there as well.
Congratulation Dorian!
Well earned.

Thanks Dan,

You always make a draft more fun. Yes, I will set some of this aside for the Main. Hope you are in the running for 2nd
