So the defending champion is no more...he lost despite his opponent making, IMO, a mistake by not setting proper lineup for scrimmage (62097788), as almost all his starting lineup had 80+ minutes. So when his players will have ideal minutes, can he stand up to VS?

The king is dead, long live the king.

The field seems to be so strong this season though that I wouldn't be surprised if the scots (or maybe even VS) were to be eliminated before the final. It's going to be a terrific competition.

I can't see who can beat VS. Not only his starting five is formidable, but his bench is also almost as good, which is mind blowing. VS and scots seem like best teams so far.

There's something different about those teams, a certain something that makes their team so much better then everyone else. It's not the number of players, height of the rim or their stadiums altitude. For some reason they're just much stronger then the rest of the field. What could it be...hmmm

I was definitely wrong about the Dionysus-Gaid match. The mid game injury hurt Dion but he had superior gameshape and still lost. I think Gaid's players are far more well-rounded than I initially gave credit.

Add Anaheim Electronics to the list of Gaid and VS as threats. Monster ratings today and, unsurprisingly, a 1.5m+ payroll.

I disagree. I think today primary skills trumped secondaries. Dionysus has guards with IS 14 and 15, while Gaid's guards didn't spend one training at C position. Dionysus lack of inside defense and offensive flow might hurt him too. Also blank lineup can hurt you sometimes, as your coach cares about offense only. I watched the game and some easy buckets by Gaid were made from SF position when Gazdaq was occupying it. And we all know Gazdaq can't defend the SF position.

I don't know, his assist and TO numbers weren't something that one-dimensional players put up against a high level defense. Plus you would think that Gaid would have had a big edge in rebounding as a primary skill for his front line but that didn't happen.

We can't see all his player's skills but I think it was be categorically false to assume that his roster is full of players with poor secondaries.

Gaid won on the sheer power of cash. His player builds weren't as good as Dionysus. He did a relatively poor job with minutes/GS. Mamba is a thousand time better manager than DogNatural (Brian is a better manager than both of them). The reason why Gaid won was because he had the cash to stack up his roster with even more talent than the shady B3 champ.

Thank you Capt. Obvious!

And Beener, it's easy to look back into the past training for Gaid's guards. They haven't got too much C training, and this was also back when there was no cross training.

If you remember me, then I don't care if everyone else forgets.

Mamba's a top notch manager, tho i appreciate it. I could name a bunch of better managers then myself in the USA alone. Going all in with a 1.5m, 1.8m+ payroll is doable and I dont blame anyone that does, id just rather focus on the players Ive built for the NT.
