With a win tonight, the Seattle Legends have secured promotion to D.IV. This means we have likely seen the last of V.65, and in some ways I'm sorry to see it go. I joined this league as the worst team with an 0-18 record. The rebuilding project started behind Lester Summers, who was later sold. In the draft, I picked up future team stars Russell Means and Marcos Tate, who have been consistently improving and were instrumental in my advancement. More than anything, though, in this league I learned more about the game from more experienced managers like WFUnDina and his Pwnstars, and Mix and his IXLOS Sabers, both relatively knowledgeable players whose teams are now in D.IV. More than that, though, several of the managers in this league, including the two I mentioned, have been extremely helpful and supportive as I learned this game, and without them I probably would not have stuck with this game, let alone built a team capable of beating Hammersaurus Rex and NBA Swagger Allstars and promoting into D.IV. The experience I've gained from playing in this competitive league and competing with these managers has been invaluable.

I guess what I want to say is, thank you everyone, and I'm going to miss good luck next season. I'm going to miss V.65!

One thing I will NOT miss is the frustration of drafting in V.65. I missed out on my top three choices, Logan Blalock (23477704), Sean Ayers (23477722), and Hassan Wright (23477688), all of whom had 4 ball potential and apparently decent starting skills. Oh well that's the byproduct of playing with other competitive managers, and overall it's a price I'm willing to pay.

Damn! I got a Superstar, 19, with meh skills. But my Perennial All Star 19, Bradley Leary. Has some potential. (23472080)

Next season, I'm not even investing in the draft. I'll just buy on one the cheap with the skills I want. Last season , I bought 2 guys with good potential for 55K (together). Thats way less then I spent on the draft.

I know what you're saying and I can't disagree with your logic. It would be rational for me to do the same, but like I've said before, the draft is something I love, IRL and in Buzzerbeater. That idea of finding a young player with potential and making him your star is just something that I cannot give up. Even if someone else snatches that player before you have the chance to take him, like what happened this year, it is exciting at least for me to find that special player and know you were so close and it makes me even more excited to try my luck next year. And I love statistics and numbers, so seeing young players and watching their skills improve over time is also something I love to do.

I know you could say a lot of what I'm saying is also the feeling gamblers get when they waste all their money at casinos, hoping for that one big break. But hey, as long as the draft isn't breaking my bank, and since this isn't real life, I'm okay with it. I applaud you for being able to recognize and do what's best for your team.
