Yes, he challenged the others at the start of the season, but except for Ball Bouncers no one accepted the challange and teams went to playoff with rosters of similar strength as they started the season (or ended previous one).
Whose fault is this? Because teams couldn't be bothered to spend to improve their rosters near the deadline, you are downplaying a victory by someone who chose to spend to improve his team at the beginning of the season.
In case you haven't noticed, sports competitions are often won by the richest teams.
Because you don't like someone's strategy, doesn't mean it isn't a viable strategy. When I started I didn't think buying and selling players was necessary to succeed. I thought if you knew the game of basketball well enough you could win just by training your own team. I thought the TL and people who bought free agents just to sell them two months later were not good managers but good stock brokers. You were one of the good stock brokers. In fact I see you still do it. My opinion has changed (a little) but the point is, just because you have a problem with how VS won, doesn't mean it is wrong. You were allowed into the tournament the year you won without even being deserving by the rules of the tournament at the time.
VS kicked the crap out of you and everyone else in his tournament.
PS- Tapia dominated the title game. So much for your belief that he isn't very good. He had his best game in the biggest game. That's what great players do.
Once I scored a basket that still makes me laugh.
