Bombers promote to League II.3In one of the most unexpected events, the team promotes through bot cleanup. Even manager PH-Greedy did not believe it when the news was announced to him. However, after scouting the competition, he realized that he has a long way to go before his team can really compete, let alone stay in this division. As a first step in solving this problem, he obtains the service of French point guard François Salvat to help the team.
