I think I must have misread your theory, then. Sorry for that, I thought you mentioned that there can't be growth in very small countries when a few teams dominate the scene. I think the above example demonstrate that theory is wrong.

Currently we've got just a few countries that actually managed to grow with more than 1000 users since season 3. 1000 users isn't a small number, as you suggest. Italia is just ~1000 users above their total in season 5. Spain was at 5419 in season 5, 6474 right now. It's not as easy as you suggest to get 1000 users in a few seasons. I'd say the growth of the quoted countries is pretty huge, you've got to put up realistic numbers and put them into perspective. We got a 55k userbase here, not a 900k one.

I'd say a 500% growth in 5 seasons in Canada, a 375% growth in 5 seasons Česká Rep. and a 2000% growth in Taiwan in 6 season is quite allright. I would be extremely happy if all countries, thus whole BB, grow at this pace.

I do not think the% growth is a reliable indicator.

The churn rate is rather to understand what I say.

What is the% of people who after having entered, leave the game after 2 or 3 seasons? (the time to understand the real situation and perspective of his own team)

The churn rate is used as a reliable indicator in all market segments in which services are the main key of the market (eg: telephony). I believe that BB could be a valid indicator.

The% of growth may indicate how many people know the game and not how they appreciate it.

Thank you for giving a really good example of the economic difference between a country with lots of teams and country with not as many teams.

Game developers, who by an large do an excellent job of making adjustments to the global economy based on the big picture, need to really think through what this means for all of their efforts in tinkering with salaries and how teams with loads of cash affect the TL for the whole BB world, for teams in countries of all sizes and for teams at all levels, high and low, in all of these countries.

(And maybe my suggestions about the modifiers I posted way earlier in this thread can be reviewed, since I still stand by the idea.)

Don't ask what sort of Chunks they are, you probably don't want to know. Blowing Chunks since Season 4!

How about the disadvantages. Like experience, how many games a season do small country powerhouses have to actually see how their players and tactics stack up against certain opponent tactics and players. The fun factor, i really question how much fun can you have playing this game steamrolling opponents all season. Honestly i'd choose to be in a big competitive community over a couple B3 games a season and when you'd actually win something it would be much more gratifying i imagine.
