From 15–5 to one-and-done: The Italian Beast returns with unfinished business
Analysis based on confirmed SHD history. No Season 4 players have been drafted.
Alessandro’s first SHD regular season was outstanding: 15–5–0, 10,814.00 points for and the #1 playoff seed. Nobody scored more over Season 3’s regular season.
The quarterfinals changed the story. #8 Titanic won 571.60–508.60, eliminating the top seed immediately. The regular-season achievement remains, alongside the abrupt end to the title bid.
That combination puts The Italian Beast near the top of SHD’s pre-draft rankings. It also leaves a straightforward Year 2 question: can another strong regular season lead to a championship run? The answer will depend on a roster that has yet to be drafted.
