Forgot about last week. That was another lopsided win, but another game I could've lost. Close game with neutral context. If I missed my GDP and he used a GDP and hit (which wouldn't have been unlikely events), I wouldn't have won. Not as crazy a win as my second game, or maybe not that crazy at all (probably a 50/50 game), but feels good to be 3-0 when I should be 2-1 at best.

edit: oh, should be an easy win tonight too so 4-0.

Still have 2 more tough games left. Should be heavily favourited in all games until my final group game.

Superfreakys have essentially dropped out. Probably the right move at that time with 2 losses and a later game against a probable top 3 team.

Does anyone know when the B3 transfer deadline is? I'm not sure where to look for that info.

Pretty sure its sunday before playoff game but I would ask on general forum just to make sure

Would someone mind skipping ahead to the 48-minute mark http://www.buzzerbeater.com/match/78441060/reportmatch.as... and telling me if my player Fabbricatore got injured and was highlighted red in my match? I'm curious as to why his minutes and stats were all goose eggs.

Thanks.

He was injured 5 seconds into the game. Bad luck mate.

My domination through group stage was unexpected considering my draw was, originally, quite difficult looking. I benefit from injuries among other things, but I digress.

There seems to be an unusual amount of absurdly good teams this season.

I figure I could realistically (i.e, >10% of the time) lose to 10-12 of the remaining teams, or beat (>20% of the time) any single team in a single game simulation. Ultimately I can't fathom beating either of the two 1.6M salary rosters or the #4 seeded Chinese team. Several secondary teams are much more salary efficient than me and could very well be favoured over me as well. By my methodology (strictly ratings), I'd consider myself an outside contender.

Other teams generally don't stray from inside tactics, and probably for good reason. I kinda hope that I be more free-flowing and liberal with tactics and GDP than others. Will probably cost me early.

猛牛 (78440665) (a favourite)
SUPERLIGOTA (78440816) (absurdly salary efficient)
Młoty Stargard (78441066) (absurdly salary efficient)
Dutch Pacers (78542025) (one of the two 1.6M salary rosters)
Portugal Telecom (78440790)
hopelessly addicted (78441055)
Eži (actually, this guy may be the main favourite. this might be the more salary efficient of the two 1.6M salary rosters.)
BC RV (78441029)
KS Goldena (78441037) (Canada may know this guy; his team remains strong)
İncow Sk (78441038)
Votem Cowboys (78440709)
ESV Laim (78440983) (ratings slightly inflated by OT)
koksari (78441018)
|Sharpshooters| (78440820)
HGB Nerds (78440726)
Mafia) (78440880) (glad I didn't draw him first round)
Boston Celtiics (78440956) (or him)
airsjordans (78441043) (or even the #32 seed)
the ragin stajans (78440890) (I'd consider myself possibly a top 5 team)

*Many of these team's highlighted matches are missing 200k+ salary purchases that would further balloon their ratings.

Well, last season I think there was 2 million+ salary team that dropped out in 1st round so who knows? With GDP and really high level it kind of became a crapshoot (kind of like NCAA tournament)

Well, you smashed him on the GS update.

He had a double overtime game in his last cup match. Sucks for him. That has to be annoying as hell.

More annoying if he lost it!

Oh shit. What.

Now I'm even more reluctant to stray from LI. I was pussing out anyway, and obviously patient is the worst tactic and a bad representation, but still. That match was 700k salary and poor GS versus 1.6m and excellent GS. Ah.

Edit: so far I've caught a ton of breaks. I can easily lose any remaining game, but I'd say I'm comfortably the 2nd best remaining team considering Pacers, Stargard, Celtics, Goldena, etc are out and the Chinese team, Laim, and SUPERLIGOTA have had massive injuries.
