Here's a list of essential HGL links in general and for Season 2 specifically: (327516.6).

Like you can see, it's still a work in progress, however the message character limitation is already restricting further input. However, if you notice some essential missing links, please do not hesitate to contact me and I'll try to remove some characters from some explanatory parts of the post in order to be able to add more links.

Some great info and, as always, a lot of work and effort on your behalf, Wagner. Well done and thank you.

I have also recently updated the HGL ACHIEVEMENTS (327663.3)

Please check it out and, again, if there are any teams who have had success as a HGL team (Championships) please let me know and I will update them in this thread.

@Wagner, if you could add this thread link somewhere I would really appreciate that. I think it is very important that we celebrate HG success!


EDIT: spelling

Thanks, MrJ!
I actually added that link of your HGL Achievements-thread to my post already yesterday, it's below the HGL Statistics-category so perhaps that may have been causing you not to notice it.

I definitely also think it's excellent idea to follow and celebrate HG success, and also have some following of HGL teams in their respective leagues. Sometimes HG teams achieve extremely good things worth celebrating (and sharing to others) in their own "regular BB leagues" that often are left unnoticed, but that post of yours is a remedy for that issue.

Please let me know if you prefer it to be moved into a different category in that post, or if you want link to be added also elsewhere on either or both Official HGL Threads.

Like MrJ asked, please let him know if you've won any championships in your own "regular BB leagues" as a 100% Home-Grown team. For instance teams in HGL that have 0 purchase history, all the championships that they´ve won at different league levels in their own countries' BB leagues will be count in MrJ's listing (if I understood it correctly).

In other words, if you are for example a team that has never purchased a player, any promotion (by winning league championship, not by being promoted without winning a title) you´ve reached during your seasons, will be count as a championship in MrJ's list.
Same goes of course with teams that have purchased players at some point during their manager career, but have won championship when being 100% HG for the duration of full season when they won the championship - that championship will be count in his listing (again, if I have understood MrJ's intentions/rules correctly).

Yes, I am including any Championships (League, BBM, BBB, Cup, HGL) your team has won as a 100% HG team. In other words, for that Championship to count (and be noted in the thread) your team needed to be 100 HG for the season that you won the title (from Game 1 until the last game of the finals).

Sadly, my 10 titles before returning to BB don't count as none of them were as a HG team

So, if you have any championships as a HG team that I have not recorded in the above-mentioned thread, please let me know.

Thank you.

Hey, just letting everyone know that I just took the opportunity and bought back a previously sold draftee Taavi Ummelas (53184526) with a salary of 10230$. That improves my top-8 salary by a little bit to 251K and raises the average age of my top-8 to 23,8y.

Hi Wagner,

please count me in for season 3.
Thank you for all of your work


HG - This is the way

Thanks for sharing that with us, LennuK. Lucky you!

Thank you Paul George for confirming your participation to Season 3!

With this announcement, the only current HGL team that hasn't confirmed their participation to S3 is a new-to-HGL team Hårdboll.
But like I mentioned earlier, there´s still time to decide, as I hope decisions on participation have been made before HGL Season 2 Playoffs begin.

And yes, I agree 100% - HG is the way to go. :)

Thank you for letting us know, and also very kindly calculating changes (to top8-salaries and average age) yourself.

I'll update that transfer data bit later, because once again BB post character limitations come into play and I have to edit post(s), in other words delete part of previous content, to get new additions/information to fit into posts.

I'm glad to announce, that we have another manager, M a k e from Finland, who will be very likely joining HGL in the future!

His team Alanurmon Rikkaat is not quite yet totally 100% home-grown, but isn't far from it either (yes, this time I made a quick roster check before announcing it here on the Official Thread).

The "funny thing" here is, that this seasons' cup lottery threw our teams to face each other this season, and only due to that I found out his almost home-grown team, by checking out his roster (in order to prepare for the match).

As we can see from this example, there must be many HG or almost totally HG teams in Buzzerbeater, that we simply aren't aware of (like I wasn't aware of Alanurmon Rikkaat having already previously been HG, and currently being almost HG team).

Anyway, pleasant surprise, and I'm glad to see also new teams being interested in joining in the (near) future!
Here's an updated list of current and likely future HGL teams: (327516.86).

Round 10 offered us couple of thrillers (ED vs. LMS, and SUM vs. LGM), and an interesting measure of current team performance levels (against each other) in KKS vs. HAD match.

ED vs. LMS 104-106:
LMS was able to get maybe the most remarkable (and for their Playoff chances, very important) win in their HGL history by beating strong ED team by 2 points, well done Monēta! Their 7 point lead before 4th quarter held, even though ED had chosen quite optimal offensive and defensive tactics considering which tactical choices LMS made for the match. Again, ED being very cold from the 3 point arc (now 2 previous matches combined at 2 out of 20 shooting; 10%!), while LMS was able to score 42 points behind the arc (with .452 accuracy), despite ED playing with 3-2 zone.

SUM vs. LGM 93-91:
Another nail biter of the Round 10, LGM led by 1 before 4th but SUM was able to win 4th by 3, and therefore bring 2 points back to Finland (from Italy, SIPPO ARENA). LGM actually still led the match 27 seconds on the game clock, and had potential winning shots in the air when there were 19 and 2 seconds in the clock, but were unable to nail either of those 3 point attempts. You don't see it every day that both team play Princeton, but yesterday you did, if you watched this one. As for tactical choices, LGM predicted that SUM will play balanced offense, which was incorrect - did this prediction finally turn the scale to direction of SUM in this "coin flip match"?

On Round 11 we are being offered another treat in form of VPO vs. HAD, both teams at 10 wins and 0 losses on this Season 2. And yes, many other interesting (and possibly close in terms of score) matches on Round 11 as well!

TY Wagner !! The result was a little surprise for me too, but I'm getting stronger and stronger every season. You guys should start to be scared

Yes, it was a disappointment for this game :/
GG Moneta !

BTW, I can see that almost all my games are very tied (less than 10 pts and less than 5 pts).
