I guess this is what he was talking about:
Grullo and Pini: are there any plannning for all those countries who has less than 20 users? (208622.28) and (208622.30)
No, we treat all countries the same. Their advantage is the ability to play in a high league level right from the start.

And then specially the first part of his answer. it is taken from the "Ask the BB's"-thread: (208622.1)
BB-Marins answers starts at (208622.116)

There's no advantage in "the ability to play in a high league level right from the start". None what-so-ever. All that does is ensure a lack of success at the beginning - ESPECIALLY in smaller nations.

Yeah i know, that part though would probably apply to the 20 user nations.


I think that more than 50 nations (those up to ~150 users) in this game suffer from the "advantage" to start in a higher league right from the start.

A change would help so many countries in growing their communities, its just insane to ignore this problem.

As mentioned here (in this thread), there's no reason at all why Japan's a "small nation" - other than that the game actually promotes a high level of turnover with nations that aren't on the large side. It's unlikely that Japan would ever be a 'big' nation, but it beggars belief that it's not in excess of 100 users.

I agree: it is insane.

Spot on. Players getting crushed in their first few months doesn't help at all.

As someone suggested, put all new teams no higher than Div. III. Give people a chance to build up their arena and roster, and, most importantly, start off with a win streak. We had a team a couple of seasons ago starting in Div. I where the salary floor is $200k. Naturally, they dropped out. It's such a small change that there is absolutely no reason not to do it.

Except... I suspect that the BBs - except marin - are largely inactive.
