OK mate, but we can't stop them. Nobody can say to a manager that he can't buy some "monsters" for the B3.
Now, that is the only way to win the B3, and some people do it every season and try to get the B3.

They have the options to buy new players, and they use it, and then its no fun to us you mean, yep.

Its fun to play again normal teams in B3, as I remember last season, one of my interesting matches in B3 again CrazyEye, that was cool, after that I played 1/8 finals and i got a China "monester" team, no chance ofc.
This season Rabadense, and you have seen what happened.

What I'm trying to say, every season they are those teams that buy "monster" players and try it on B3, so there is no other way to win it, just need to do the same
I don't see other options?

Maybe the only way to stop that is that you must play with the same team you start the B3, so you can buy players before the B3 start? But mate, that's hard to make as a rule, but its not an bad option, like that, B3 would be more interesting and we could have more fun.

What sets "normal" teams from "tanking/monster" ones? How many players does a team have to buy in order to be called tanking or monster team?
If I have a team with three great outside players that were trained by me and then buy two 300k centers to win B3, am I considered a tanking/monster team?

I think sometimes it's a fine line between those two terms. I agree VS is a monster and tanking team, if by tanking you mean the team doesn't make profit because of their expensive roster.

But if you look at this match: (39282308) and check winner's starting 5, you can see only Raud can qualify as hired monster. One player has been with the team for more than one season and three others were teammates for at least 5 seasons (Bolek, the SF was there even from season 10). So why is he a monster/tanking team? Beacuse he bought Raud to win B3? Compare that to VS who bought 6-7 players to win B3. Where is the line?

A very cohesive and easy-to-read post. Not to mention it's spot-on. I'd wish my English writing was so good!

Those like Thrylos who want to win B3 in "fair" mode need to wait for BBs to introduce salary cap. But I don't think this will happen. Be a bad team to become a great team later, even for only a season or two, is nothing new. Anyone recalling Seattle Supersonics/Oklahoma City Thunder on how bad they've been until Durant's 2nd season? They are contenders now and they already have to choose between Ibaka and Harden because they can't afford both. Isn't this a bit like BB? You can build a very strong team for a shorter period of time?

You said he lost the motivation to play because he won everything. it makes me laugh. He DID NOT win B3 . he stole it.

Dude... this stuff, that you're taking... I WANT IT!!!!

seriously, du you really believe what you're talking about?

ESV Laim of Course bought Monster, the difference is that he pay 8M for these (i think it was only 1) Player and not 250k like these days.

In my Opinion, Los Dragones was the last B3 winner that won without tanking or something else.

Thats why i cross my Fingers for Massendefekt. I really dont like that Guy, because he kicked me 2 Seasons in a row out of the Cup but he is the last one from a 1000+ Country who never tanked.

Go for it Crazyeye

being on a heavy minus on weekly income makes you either a tanking team

I always thought that tanking team = heavy plus on weekly income ;-)

In my Opinion, Los Dragones was the last B3 winner that won without tanking or something else.

for the first time i have to say, you are wrong:P last one was some nitra corgons team.

Hmmm, I was just going to say he was so full of s$%t that reading his posts made me feel like I was at a manure factory, but you said it so much better.
