One fact: just 4 teams with less than 824k salaries (the median of the salaries distribution) have made the round of 16. After removing the teams which were kicked off the competition, the original table by Densler remains as follows:

(#x = Knockout Stage Seed)                                  Relevant transfers since September

1. Syndicalists' BC - $ 1 209 556 (#7)                     +1 ($ 69 206 PF)                        
2. KK Mordor - $ 1 020 228 (#5)                              -1 ($ 92 063 PF), + 1 ($ 255 119 PF)
4. Folgado Lakers - $ 949 436 (#6)                          -1 ($ 50 364 SG), +1 ($ 77 536 SF)

I didn't realize I had the highest salaries coming in, and by a fair margin too. I've gone all in to win BBB, but at this point, I can only sit back and hope I don't embarrass myself.
I wouldn't sleep on The King and I, or quite frankly any of those in the Deluxe PL, they are all very strong teams... for those that are top tier and not in that PL, what are you waiting for?

There is a big problem with The King and I team that is making them unlikely to win BBB.

Update of the table with the teams which have made the quarter-finals. After removing the teams which were kicked off in the round of 16, the original table by Densler remains as follows:

(#x = Knockout Stage Seed)                                  Relevant transfers since September

1. Syndicalists' BC - $ 1 209 556 (#7)                     +1 ($ 69 206 PF)                        
2. KK Mordor - $ 1 020 228 (#5)                              -1 ($ 92 063 PF), + 1 ($ 255 119 PF)

Another fact: from the top 8 seed after the Round Robin, 5 of them are playing the quarter-finals. The other three teams, which are exactly the ones paying less salaries (HucJiab, KK Play Off and Mloty) were the #9, #18 and #14.

Nice one!

For those who have seen my game and wonder why I played such a tactic...my sf got injured last saturday and I couldn't really replace him. Sometimes I hate this game -.-

However I wish the best of luck for the remaining teams!

Last season, my starting PG got injured the game before the knockout stages started. It definitely sucks to have it ruin your tournament.
