I suggest to stop the free pass for all ex-B3 champions with an exception for the current champion.

IMO, it's an unfair advantage.

EDIT: Let me took an exemple, in world cup of soccer, it's like seeing Uruguay automatically qualified nowadays for the tournament because they won the world cup in years 1930 & 1950. I think a vast majority of people will find that absurd, am I right? But in Buzzerbeater, it's like that!

The way you should look at it is: how many of these managers won a B3 title or made the semifinals or achieved whatever meaningful result in the BBB without having won the cup or title the previous season? This would mean they went deep in the BBB while they should not have been there.

Otherwise since they actually don't take away spots from other managers from their own country, I don't understand what the problem is and where the unfair advantage is.


The unfair side? Money! They win money for each victory in round-robin and so on.

Let's took ESV Laim, winner in S11 (delta 15 aka 15 free pass). Have I to look to the B3 history to calculate how much money his team won with all those free pass?

I'm agree with you for supressing money in round-robin, it isn't a bad idea (and in consequence, maybe a little more money for KO stages)

But IMO the olds B3 champions should'nt be in round-robin. If they want to be in B3, they have to win another cup or championship. It's a pro tanking team system right now.

At least, they have win the cup or the championship in their country, it's better than nothing.

Let's imagine the best BB manager is living in a micro-nation and with his talent, can produce a B3 competitive team for several seasons. Why doesn't he have the right to compete at the highest level? Because he's living in a micronation? It would be unfair...

If a lot of them are fodders in round robin, they can't go further. But if one of them (from micro) is realy a good team, his team can go further and maybe win B3.

I think if you win B3, you should only get a free pass into the next season's B3. Winning B3 is harder than any cup or championship, so it ok IMHO to give them the one season free pass.
