Not sure if he's serious when I see the cash he wants for his roster...

@Hijiki... damn it! I should have gone for it in Game 2. That one was mine for the taking, and I shied away.

Nicely played sir, well done.

Thanks malice, thanks Brutus,

Yes, it was a big gamble for me to Normal the game 2.
But I thought I had no chance to win at your home court for game 3 with lower enthusiasm, so I took the gamble.
It was very lucky for me to get the game 2 in OT.

Even with extra enthusiasm, I thought it was not enough to beat you at your home, so I also took another gamble in game 3 with normal pace estimation.

I think this opponent's tactic estimation feature really added another dimension to this game, and I like it.
At least it's gotten people off from LI only.

Thanks for a great season and series.
See you next.

Yup. I think that green tick got you the title... I toyed with going LI - and didn't.

In retrospect, I should have POCT'd game 2.


Oh well, first time in. Hopefully, I can be competitive again next season, continuing to try and emulate Kyoto - and go All-Nippon (only have 2 non at the moment).

I don't like both isolations and my guess is that it's the wrong decision in the series, not the PO Normal in game 2. I'm still thinking that LI or Low post would win you the game. Bet you are thinking the same now.

Yes - but I also think if he didn't pick up on the Normal Pace, I most probably win. It's difficult, my team's set up to run II/Princeton - and it has worked very well all last season. I think I could run LI successfully as well - and maybe that's what I need to do.
And I still rank the PON as a bigger miss... tho' I guess had I rolled with LI in g3 then I'd have a title as well!

Hijiki did the better job. Not often a manager here in Japan wins the double (Cup/Title). Hopefully next season will be good for me too.

----------------------------

Pretty happy with the MVP voting, K-Mat winning, and the only player close was Yuen Ling Tim --> the guy who plays beside him. I thought K-Mat was the clear choice for the GE to make... but I'd rather have a title!
