Yesterday it was a great day for the lovers of outside tactics.

We won the U21 WC playing motion (41027). It is the first time since Season 14 that, in WC, U21 WC and BBB, the winner plays an outside tactic in the final. In the meanwhile, 67 winners have used 65 inside attacks and 2 balanced ones.

Keep on training JR, dudes!!!

Good job!

Looking at the finals game, you scored 3 out of 24 from downtown, thats not impressive
I guess you had more quality than your opponent in that game, and you could win with any off tactic used.

I wouldn't go that far, though I am of course pleased to see teams playing outside tactics and having success. I'm just waiting for the day that the engine will actually notice when a team shoots better from 3 than from 2 and jacks up a lot more outside shots in response.

Still, for U21 guys especially, that's a pretty solid outside rating and full credit for having the players to pull it off and the courage to do so in a Final.

I would agree with Dzi-dzi that maybe you won the game simply because you had more quality as 12,5% from the 3pt line was even less than your opponent.

Great to see that outside tactics are used a lot more often than before, though. France enjoyed an impressive European championships semi-final victory over Poland using "motion" as well: (41030). And they shot 11/24 where it actually made the difference.
