This... was weird.

11/26/2011 - TokyoDriftTeam has just sold Makoto Minami for $ 250 000.

This player sold for $250,000: (23656813)???
Ummm... say what?

Well... 7 games into the season, and the top 4s of each conference seem to be settling in. BBsTar/Baikinman/が失われることはありません/楽しい in the B8, and Kyoto/Shikoku/NKRK/Terry Bogard in the G8.
Interesting to look at the very first post of this thread. I guess it wasn't really rocket science, but the above teams were exactly who I picked to dominate this season.
Losing Sapporo, and adding BBsTar added to the balance. Inter-conference play coming up in the next week, should be interesting.

You can take the best player from each of the humans you have fought and they still wont equal the Small Town Operators. Here is a sample.

Lex Uribe (17188447) Point Guard
Weekly salary: $ 119 315
Role: regular starter
(BuzzerBeta)
DMI: 1222800
Age: 23
Height: 5'9" / 175 cm
Potential: superstar
Game Shape: strong

Oskar Elstermeier (14719992) Center
Weekly salary: $ 115 751
Role: rotation player
(BuzzerBeta)
DMI: 723300
Age: 23
Height: 7'1" / 216 cm
Potential: superstar
Game Shape: strong

That gives me a lot to think about.


That trade was a crazy one, I don't know how any sane player would think he was worth 1/4 of a million. But speaking of mad did you see what the Mad Rippers did? They got rid of their best trainee and the potential future of their team.

I think the crossovers will be very interesting this season and I wont be taking the Big8 lightly. I will be fighting for every win!

Yeah... I think something's up with that trade - I believe that Tokyo Drift is a chinese player in Japan... which leads me to think "farming"... dodgy stuff. Hate that it's rearing it's ugly head here in Nippon II.1. All the more reason to beat up on him now.

And I think Mad Rippers' training bigs, so Tomonaga didn't really fit in... definitely the player I would have built around tho'...

Ripping through...
II.1 watch
G8's Challenger2 finally goes bot, with B8's NIKOBUKURO & Machida Bulls seemingly headed that way too (neither having logged on in 2 weeks). That means effectively 13 active teams in II.1. And with 10 active (altho' mugicha looks headed out) in II.2, that wraps it up for Japan's second division. No players in II.3 or lower.

Kyoto continues to be the team to beat, running out to a 8-0 lead. BBsTar mimicking that over on the Big 8, but Saturday sees Kyoto come to BBsTar, and I think Kyoto strolls into town and steals everything not nailed down: including the 'W'. The other interesting match-up on Saturday will be Baikinman playing host for Terry Bogard - again, I like the G8 guy to be the victor in that match too, in a G8#4 vs B8#2 slate.
Both leagues are tight, and the coming weeks are going to really separate the big from the lil'.

The Cup...
BBsTar faces off against II.2's 血受儿 - my money's on the II.1 guy!
Baikinman heads to div III bot Mamada Red Roses - again, put the win with II.1.
楽しい plays host for U21 coach's team Fire Country Trail Blazers - bye-bye 楽しい.
Kyoto has a tough match-up hosting JBBL's STO... I think the Shogun's reign ends here.
Shikoku heads to Yokozuna - Otaku done for the season.
Newly botted Challenger2 pulled div III bot - ugh... C2 to get through.
And Kanazawa head to Northern Kyushu in a battle of the Kings that I see the home-town Ramen boys winning.

I think i would lose the Kyoto game.This is my first lose of the season,maybe.
Even Kyoto is a strong team and our players are big difference with theirs,but i will try my best to play it. Because this is a live show on tv , so maybe will have effect on my incomes after seasons.GG.

In addition, OTAKU,NKR and Terry were strong. I'm really looking forward to the game with them.
Between the Western and the Eastern ,the Eastern is more powerful .So my record maybe just a illusion.Who knows ? After this months competition , everyone 's strength can be come out. GL.

Phenomenal win sir...

Never count out the Shogun!

Thanks, it was a phenonemal and unexpected win. What a dramatic finish with their SF Eugene Riddick getting repeated shots in the last few seconds but being unable to score and being blocked right at the basket. It was like Game 5 of the 1993 Eastern Conference Finals where New Yorks Charles Smith got blocked 4 times in the last 10 seconds by the Bulls.

As for the game against BBstAr that may well be an even bigger game. Keeping a perfect record this season may well benefit everyone but I'll bet BBstAr will be throwing everything at me and I will be doing the same. A massive game in determining what happens this season.

Botwatch:
II.1 - (Big 8) Machida Bulls and NIKUBUKURO seemed destined for bot-dom. And が失われることはありません, TokyoDriftTeam and I am legend haven't been on for around a week.
(Great 8) Challenger2 officially gone bot. Everyone else's active... and I'd just like to offer a "well done" to Maga_san, who is VERY active! Great to have a new guy here who's involved.

Elsewhere (ie. II.2) - UCK3C hasn't been on for a week, Same with Okayama Chon (that'd be a pity to lose him) and Tokyo Bulls.

I guess GotW would be が失われることはありません vs NKRK (#3 B8 vs #3G8).

HCA & the CT gave you the 2 point win well done. I have lost count of the number of really big games I have lost by 2 points or less. I guess now I have to rely on NKRK, Otaku or Terry Bogard taking you down to get me the HCA back if I make it to the finals. That was a massive offensive rebound by Luca Linetti and a clutch shot by Markel Barrueso. It was a funny game, looking at the match report I equalled or beat you in every single category but still lost. Good luck for the rest of the season and I hope we do get to play again.
