Well done Mamba.

While this past B3 finals was probably one of the most least anticipated, it was also one of the most entertaining. You couldn't really ask for a more interesting game.

Yeah mamba created best squad so far as every winner before him. Lot of monsters but not many weak spots. He did great and deserves the title. But.. Where was he last season, where are past winners now, and where are teams that train, compete every season? I really think that team economy via merch, ticket holders and tv rights (= incomes)should adjust a bid to get the world on same level. If its too complicated play with salary cap in b3 so we know who has the best TEAM in game, not the best 5-6week soldiers. Again Mamba created best squad and deserves it.

For me this B3 tournament was the most interesting, because all previous weren't battle between the best managers, they were only battle between managers, who joined earlier into BB than others.

In columns:
Name of B3 winner
Season when B3 winner joined into BB
Season when his country was added into BB

Everybody has equal chance to buy the best team. Managers, who joined later, have no chance to create the best team, only by own training (because older teams allways will have players with longer trained skills). So of course battle between teams, which buy players is more interesting than battle between teams, which train players ;-)

i believe that will egalize, with the first generation of elite player dying.

The economy in the first 10-12 season was really unbalanced, so that you could stock up money. This monstrous income stopped, and i am quite sure that nearly all top nations top divisions loose money even without the loss of player value through aging.(i believe Germany was mostly around 40-60k net loss each week, including one tanking team and without cup)

At least in the Bundesliga, i don't expect to have cash cows anymore or atleast we have complaining cash cows ;)

Without salary monsters but with salary cap we would have to wait at least next 10 seasons to B3 winner who joined later than in 3rd season. So it's obvious that free market and low prices of mutants makes competition more interesting. Thanks to BBs that they don't want to implement salary cap.

yes salary cap wouldn't avoiding it, at least when it bounds at area where you can generate profit as a chamipion ... And the championship bonus isn't that low, imho a thing which could be changed then who need an extra motivation like that to reach the top.

this is not about who joined it earlier. since season 14 when economy was about to reach equilibrum. so since that season it became easy (or easier) to gather a strong team even for younger teams. it took while for them and now is the time they can compete with everybody regardless on when you joined the game becose for 10M now you can manage play-off easily. so now on every season will be equal chance for everybody who built up his arena.
what my point is - since season 14 the champions needed squad worth at least 1,2M (i believe it was more not sure though) on salary what is not sustuainable in game for more than season. even team that joined in season for ex.10 is capable of doing so for just 5 weeks. so keep it without salary cap but implement only 1 or 2 changes in team for a b3 season lets say out of week 3 (preliminary round could be done in week 1 or 2 where all the tanking previous champions and blank squad teams are eliminated and from that point you have to keep your squad at least for like 10 weeks..)

I think also that some change of Round Robin could be usefull as this part of B3 is very boring and on the other hand too much depended on luck in draw.
And I still would welcome non inside attack team, no matter if his salaries are 1M or 2M.
