...but he wouldn't have won the semifinals by posting in the forums...

If I didn't post messages of problem with odd number of participants highly probably we would have seen crash of the new B3 system just at the begining.
I wasn't sure if I will play B3 this season until the draw was made as there is just 50% probability there would be wild card needed to change odd to even. And also there was no confirmation which way the wild card will be given. So I didn't calculate I would have been in B3 this season. So words about letting someone win something are total nonsense (last season cup final ended 83-86, Last season league semifinal ended 86-94 after 23-36 in last quarter, do you think it's given up games?)
I started to build my squad for B3 as soon as the draw was made and suprised me.
I have no relationships to BB-staff, the only communication is via forums.

And it should have happened before, because many countries have 2 teams in B3 when the cup and league winners are different. But it hasn't happened yet.

It shouldn't have happened. One of the teams didn't win a cup or a League championship which in turn makes the BB3 look like a joke. It seems to me that the buddy system was being run in this case. For example, Im the top ranked team in the world that didn't win anything so I let my two friends win the country cup and league titles and then I BEG the BB gods for a place in the BB3. And he did beg...6 or more post about how he should be the wildcard is begging. Another - for Buzzer Beater as a whole.

i think that he reached the final is a proove that he deserved the wildcard, also the fact that both other czech teams performs very well in the fact. He was the strongest team in the world by ranking, who didn't qualified and he probadly had the hardest competion in his country to get a title.

There are 3 top teams in our country but behind us there is quite big gap. Especially in Big 8 there are starting from 3rd many teams which are in stagnation phase but still strong enough to defend their positions against newbies coming from Div II. At Great 8 there are several dynamic teams which could lower the gap to top3 soon.

Probably I found a way how to force BB-staff to react for some message ;-)
It's fine to read your thoughts were very similar to my :-)

Did anyone notice that most of the teams on B3 play LI?...

Look Inside is still the most salary-wise option but managers who care about salaries won't be seen in B3 knockout stage from now on..

Are you kidding? I think many salary-wise managers made a good run this season and I expect it as the most successfull strategy in future.
I also disagree with decrease of LI this season and tactical balance as the squad get stronger.
