With four weeks of the inaugural BBM season in the books, 64 unbeaten teams in each tier have clearly proven themselves as most likely to qualify for the bracket stage. And since Upsyndrome is clearly in rebuilding mode, these are our best hopes for a club to bring us international glory. Let's cheer them on!

I was hopeful about my chances of winning Tier 3 since at the beginning I was the highest world rank. However, the top team currently has over double the salary of my team so I'm not very hopeful anymore. I feel like to win BBM you have to make a massive improvement as a team from the previous season, otherwise you won't outplay your world rank enough.

LMAO and three of us are in the same conference in III.12 too

This week's BBM update is mixed. But good news is that there are a lot of 4-1 teams that can qualify with just two more wins, even if they're not currently in bracket range. Good luck all!

I wonder how A-Dub would have done in tier one last season if it existed. I guess he wouldn’t actually be in it bc he would be in the B3?

Vacation prevented me from making updates, but here are the Americans who remain. 32 intrepid teams including the last team in the last tier who made the bracket cutoff by 1PD despite two losses.

Make us proud!

Six valiant USA teams remain in 5 of 14 tiers!

T7:
Brooklyn Kings (269940) III.12 (2nd seed) Now faces a French 14th seed

T9:
Spida45 (264162) III.16 (2nd seed) Now faces a Belarusian 6th seed

All our hopes are pinned on two USA teams remaining in 2 of 14 tiers!

T7:

T10:
Flying Ostriches (31153) III.7 (6th seed) Now faces a Bulgarian 9th seed in the semifinals.

And just like that, Americans are out of international club play.

T7:
Brooklyn Kings (269940) III.12 (2nd seed) They fell to their Russian foe who has double the total salary. It was an honest loss for a scrappy team.


T10:
Flying Ostriches (31153) III.7 (6th seed) It could've gone either way in the final minutes here. Speedy made a bold tactical move with the Reverse Patient offense that worked well. But the double GDP miss proved to be more than what the team could overcome. In the end, their Bulgarian opponent made the Ostriches flightless again.

Good luck to all the American teams in season 55!

No time for anything as in depth as last season this time around. But we've still got a few USA hangers-on seeking BBM glory:

Sofuegg (29977) is still alive in Tier 5

Chicago Nightmare (271435) is kicking in Tier 7

Bloom County Boingers (30853) are representing in Tier 10

Cross Chargers (23486) are fighting in Tier 11

Stark Contrast (28746) is competing in Tier 12

Estudiantes de Merida (30435) are showing pride in Tier 14

Will any of them be the first US team to take a BBM trophy home? Only time will tell!
