So, it's 17:50 while the Greek league is at 18:30 and I couldn't access the site because "Server is too busy".

I couldn't set my lineup! It's the final game, ffs!

BB could move the matches for a couple of hours later so all the managers could set their lineups on time!

This is unacceptable and truly unprofessional. It's a disgrace.

Understand your frustration, but why are you setting your lineup only at few minutes to the deadline?
I mean, I did the same, I'm playing with a wrong lineup so shame on me too.

Basically it's not our fault, but at the matter of fact, a downtime can happen (unfortunately), so...

I came to set my lineup in the appropriate time. The site was down! How could I predict this?

Server failures, downtime etc. can always happen. You can't guarantee 100% availability of online services. Google can't, Apple can't, Microsoft can't, Buzzerbeater can't. Sometimes hardware failes, sometimes software failes, sometimes network failes. ALL internet users have to deal with this.

I always try to set lineups at least one day before the game starts.

That's why BB won't improve, because of users like you. The site fails and I'm to blame for not setting my lineup.

No worries, they just lost my supporter for the first time since I signed up.

Do you also rage quit when online services from Apple, Google, Microsoft, Facebook, Twitter etc. are not available for a short period of time?

BB-Ryan apologized for the downtime. What else do you want? It happened. It's something you hardly can control. It was the first server downtime here for a long, long time.

Relax...
